search is being conducted under congressional
order, and to Anatol Gollos, a Chicagoan, has
fallen the honor of being the first inventor in
the country to procure an official investigation,
the reward coming after three years of work on
an automatic train control and recorder. Tests
are made by the government only after the pre-
liminary inquiry has shown that the device is
practical
The tests of Mr.. Gollos' invention will be made
on the main branch of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, a stretch of six miles of track
having been equipped for the purpose. They
will be held under the personal direction of H. ].
Lyon, inspector of safety appliances for the COM
mission, who has reached Chicago prepared for a
six months study Of the subject.
The Gollos automatic train stop device con-
sists Of a charged third rail, about one hundred
feet long, placed at every block. The ~energized
track comes into contact with a shoe fastened on
the tender of the engine which is susceptible to
the slightest influence. If there is another train
within a radius of one mile and a half, if there is
a break in the track, or anything wrong at all,
warning is given to the engineer by a shrill
whistle placed near his seat. If he does not slow
down his train at this warning, the air brakes
automatically set. This air is applied quickly,
but in a way that stops the train gradually. At
private tests given by Mr.. Gollos recently trains
of all weights and speed were stopped in $50 to
300 feet.
Aside from the fact that the demonstrations
already given have proved the practicability of
the devices, the inventor claims that they are
mora economical than an +

What tuberculosis Costs.

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce if they
were not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy of the human
race more than $2O,OO0,OOO year is
expended. That the good work is pro-
crossing is shown by the fact that in
20 years the death rate from tubercu-
losis has been reduced from 245.4 to
1853 per 100000 population.
