In spite Of her sons impatience To get

Then one day she said, "l2ph, | am too

that the provision Of facilities for the
transmission OF train orders by telc-

one Of the first improvements needed

The editorial quotes with approval
recent statement by a railroad opcr-
atIng officer that "the installation Of

Railway Age explains, Il that the tele

As a rule, the greater part Of n train
dispatcher's working time Is spent In
getting information about the location
OF trains, and his conversations with

that railroad executives should give

Submarine ThawinR

The use Of electricity for thawing
frozen water pipes In city houses IL
no longer uncommon, but an unusual
undertaking In this relation was the
application not so long ago OF the
process to slx-inch submarine main,
400 feet In length, connecting North
Brother Island with New York city.
When an ordinary water pipe Is to
be thawed both ends are cut and the
passage of comparatively small
electric current through the resistant
pipe metal generates sufficient heat To
melt the Ice In the pipe. Although
the same general plan was followed
with the frozen submarine main. all
the conditions were 10 difficult that
It took five days of applying powerful
electric currents and Of constant
pumping with pressure Of eighty
pounds to do the work.
