THE WORLD OF ELECTRICITY, Bome Interesting Fxperi 3 in the Light- ing of Railway Trains, A VERY POWERFUL SEARCH LIGHT. The ¢ teamer Connecticut Can Locate Vessels Two Miles Away-Electric Headlights for Locomotives—A Long Distance Telephone. The paper read by Mr, M. B. Leonard the mecting of the Association of 1 iph Superintendents worthy of r than casual r deals with the use of electrie service of railways, and et in o ve is ind com- light fiest railway omp: The tric favor with t usefulne: manner, and re need th ,) t service, and where the thing more powerful th & hud long been felt.

Another use unfamiliar tomost of us is that of the clectrie light as o signal on switch stands, first ex introduced by the Southern ilw: mpany. For this pur- pose incandescent lumps to the number of 134 were put in at Oalkland, Cal , and the result of several rs experienc has been to show that the new system is not only simpler and more L|n~'mull\\ than the oil lamps that have been pre- viously used, but actually loss sive by an’ amount not incons . Leonard’s paper is which deals with the subject of lighting pussenger trains, Ho reviews briefly what hus been done in this country and then calls especial attention to the' even f“ ter success that has been attained in gland. The practico there is very fx\\umlrl\ inclined toward a_system of driving the lighting dynamo from o car axle instead of from a separate engine In such a caso precautions are necessary in order to drive the dynam at the proper speed for charging the cumulators used in connection with it. A frequent method is to throw the dynamo into action by means of a cen- trifugal governor when a ce corresponding to that desi dynamo is reached. The arrangeme: nl- ave somewhat complicated, but the re- sults reported are very encouraging, and the amount of attention required 15 con- siderably less than that rendered nec ary by the miniature central stations used in our own trains. The objeetion 10 such a method of getting s principally to Americ it was found a few that the numerous l'll]'\'n' the wheels have arranged the driving get e ad ik the speed in a way that produced no emall amount of trouble, r the difficulties then met may me in more recent ap; remains for ex- periment to dete but the plan of riving a dynamo from the car axle cer- tainly pos ed advantages in the matte uf economy, for the n that the small engines used in A mer train lighting have proved to be ex ingly uneconomical, wh driving from an axle is almost equivalent to get- ting the power direct from the locomo- tive, A Powerful Search Light, steamer Connecticut, of the Prov- wnd Stonington steamship line, has been equipped with a new Hunting ton search light, suys the Provid.

The scarch light is situated on top of the pilot house and is played on uny ter desived by the pilot within, At his will he can throw the powerful light towards the sky or water, and all by the means of a little wheel with a switch. On a very dark night objeets at a dis- tance of two miles away ecan be n quite pluinly, When is dense the light is thrown a distance of half a wmile. The light, as located on the top of th pilot house, is connected with the reg ular incandescent system of the boat. By means of a woight that may be oper- ated by a magnet, “the steam fog horn of the vessel is brought under the control of the electric cur rent, In the pilot house there switches controlling the curcent that runs to the search line and the fog horn, and by means of these switches the pilot can start the search light so it will flush at regular intervals automatically, or it may be made to burn steadily, or'it may be made to flash automatically at the in- stant the fog horn begin cease to flash when tho | the horn may automat its way s are four and bellowing may be done alternately or Mlll\lllull\'(lllhl\ by hand.
