II you took the variocoupler and made

into a varioAleter.
And. IL You reversed the process and

SO don't forget the cardinal fact.
the coupler has no actual connection

in the other by magnetism. we say that
they are coupled" The two are then
called a coupling coil. And when the
| first Of these coils is wound around a
tube like an oatmeal or salt box and the
second is wound around a small tube or
ball which IL made to turn on a shaft
inside one end Of the first, we call the
! apparatus n variocoupler. The turning
Of the ball or smaller coil inside changes
or varies the amount of electric cur
rent induced in the second by the first.
1t also. varies other things which we
won't talk about just yet.
So that's variocoupler. Other
kinds Of coils are really variocouplers in
their results. but we have different
names to indicate and identify the diff.
ferent kinds.
When the second coil IS around a
smaller tube and draws out Of and
pushes inside Of the first. we call it a
loose coupler.
Two honeycomb coils or two basket
or spider web coils can be used as 4
coupler and when they are hinged at
gether like the pages Of book, or draw
apart like an opening fan. they vary
their induction just as a variocoupler
does.
But the illustration shows the type
Of coupler that is always meant when
radio fans talk of variocouplers.
The variometer consists of two coils,
too, one revolving inside the other, but
in this case the two not only act on
each other through inducing electric
currents. but they are actually physi.
cally connected. The electric current
goes into and all around the outside
coil and the wire where it comes out Is
directly connected to the wire going
into the inside coil and the electricity
goes around that one, too. 1t is like
taking a long piece Of wire and winding
two coils Of it and then putting one
coil inside the other without cutting
them apart.

MENHORITES GO TO MEXICO
Travel ON Special Trains. Taking All of
Their Property With Them.

The railroads are now engaged in
moving thousands of Mennonites from
Canada to Mexico where they have es-
tablished a new colony. 1t is said
that the Mennonites. feeling them
selves perseeu 4 at the hands of the
Canadian government. have decided
to make Mexico their permanent
abode. their leaders having purchased
a large tract of land there for that
purpose.
One of the Mennonite trains left
Kansas City Thursday afternoon over
the santa Fe bound for El Paso. Tex.
At that place the Santa Fe will turn
the train over to the Mexican Ma
tional Railway. The train originated
at Haskell, Manitoba Canada. and
consisted Of mixed cars as the Men

TWO OLD TIMERS RETIRED
Rock Island Places Matthew f. DAILY
and Dan Hill ON Pension List.

Two Rock Island engineers who are
widely known in the west were recent
" retired On the company's pension
list They were Matthew T. DAILY, of
Denver. and Dan Hill, Of Horton, Kan.
After working for an eastern road,
DAILY came to Kansas in 1879 and be-
gan working for the Union Pacific
as a fireman out of Ellis. Later he
went with the Burlington and then
10 the Denver & Rio Grande but
went to the Rock Island, then build
ing from St. Joseph to Colorado
Springs. in 1888. Becoming ar en-
gineer, Daily took the first Rock
Island train into Denver over the
several years he has piloted the Rocky
Mountain Limited between Goodland
and Colorado Springs. retiring jan
uary 1, 1922.
Hill entered the service of the Rock
Island in 1867, as a fireman. and was
promoted to e. ineer in 1871. From
1880 to 1885 he served with the Wa
bash but returned to the Rock Island
at Chicago in 1886. He was later
sent to Fa.rbury, Nebraska, to work
on the construction of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska Railway and
when regular passenger service was
established was assigned to a run be-
tween Nelson. Nebraska, and ST Joe,
where he remained for thirty-four
years. retiring December 81 1921
In his early railroading days. Hill
at one time was a fireman for his
father. and he has q pass which the
Rock Island issued to his grandfather
in 1857. He is known alA over the
western lines of the Rock Island as
Uncle Dan"

Angeles on passenger train schedule
is a topic of discussion in traffic cir
cles. The train was routed over the
Pennsylvania lines from New York to
Chicago, over the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul to Omaha and the remainder
of the way over the Union Pacific. 1t
is claimed that the entire shipment
was valued at about million dollars.
It was handled intact as one solid
train from start to finish.
Indications that railroad building is
due for a steady expansion along more
extended lines than was first antlcl-
pated is seen in recent developments
The Pennsylvania system is working
on plans involving expenditures OF
some S100.OOO.OO0 and a number of
smaller roads have applied to the in
terstate commerce conNnission for
loans ranging from ten to twenty-five
millions each to be used in extension
work, to say nothing of the millions
that the roads are putting into equip
ment.
Something new in the way of rail-
road dividends was that recently
passed by the Llano Estacado railway.
This is the road from Plainview to
Floydada, Tex. which was sold to the
Recos & Northern Texas railway and
is now being operated by the Panhan-
die & Santa Fe. The sale of land that
still belonged to the Llano Estacado
brought $5.S51.19. which, in the wind
up of the companys affairs, was dis
tributed to 2O3 stockholders. many of
whom did not know that the company
had any remaining assets, The
amount was Sass per share.

type speed engines probably will play
a part in the forthcoming SEVENTEEN

NO BAR TO MEXICAN TRAVEL
Passport Restriction Off and Sale of
Tickets To Be Resumed.

The passport requirements between
the United States and Mexico have
been abolished. thus eliminating the
annoying regulations which have been
in effect for some time. The Santa
Fe announces that passports and other
documents are not now necessary to
enable United States citizens to enter
Mexico, but that the sale of tickets
has not been resumed and that passen-
gers desiring to go to Mexico can buy
transportation to the border only.
1t is expected, however, that ar
engagements will be completed in the
near future by all railroads for the
sale of thru Pullman and railroad
tickets to Mexico City and intermedi-
ate points. Conditions south of the
Rio Grande border are rapidly ap-
proa ching normal and the railroads
are anticipating that with the pass
port restrictions off an increase in
passenger business between the two
countries will result.
The Rock Island is calling attention
to the fact that it allows a ten days
stopover at Ell Paso on all one-way
and roundtrip tickets reading thru
that point.

EMPLOYEES cur FIRE LOSS.
Big Saving Reported by the Pennsyl-
vania System in 1921.

Largely thru efficient fire proven
ton methods and promptness of
Pennsylvania railroad employees in ex-
tinguishing fires on railroad property
with the colnpany's apparatus before
the arrival of municipal fire fighters
the loss to the properties endangered
by fire during the year 1921 was kept
down to less than one-tenth of / per
cent, according to a report of the in
surance department of the railroad.
During the last year there were
more fires, but the loss was less in
amount than in the previous year.
The number of fires distinguished by
employees with the company's fire
fighting apparatus was 2SS. The loss
caused by these fires amounted to only
S26. 1890, while the work of the en-
ploye firemen saved railroad property
with an insurance valuation of $780,
612.653.
A number of these fires were in
buildings worth millions of dollars, the
destruction of which would have re-
suited in heavy losses and serious in
convenience to the operation of trains.
The average loss on the other hand
amounted to about 500. This record
is regarded by the railroad as very
creditable to.the employees in carrying
out the company's prevention
regulations.

NEW BRAKE FOR TRAINS.
NeOdesha brakeman Obtains Patent
on n New Device

A brake for railway cars that cannot
fall down even should some of the
fulcrum pins that hold the parts to-
gether come out is the patent of Frank
5. Porter a Frisco brakeman of Neode-
sha. Kan. Not only does the inven-
ton prevent the brake beams from
falling, but it also prevents their
climbing the wheels, an evil of the
present brake that is almost equal to
the other.
The patent brake is principally a
safety device. Many wrecks are caused,
those versed in the railway business
say. by brake beams coming loose and
falling on the track, thus derailing the
car trucks and possibly the entire
train.
The installation of the new brake on
rolling stock would be simple, with
few changes, it is said.
Several prominent railroad officials
have taken an interest in the safety
invention and its adoption seems as
sured. Porter has refused to sell his
patent, preferriRg to organize a COM
pany in which he can have an interest
for manufacture of the equipment.
