Second, important bearingsurfaces are dustproof. Third, there is freedom from all splashingand unsightly dripping of oil on the floor and dynamos. In directconnected work of this character, it is extremely important that thedynamos should be kept as free from oil as possible, for it has been.

The guide pulley admits of the cord being ledin every possible direction without the use of carrying pulleys. Theindicator can be readily adjusted for either right or left hand use, andon account of its light moving parts is especially adapted for highspeed service. Stern & Silverman, railway contractors, of Philadelphia, Pa.,have taken the contract for the reconstructing of the Brigantine (,) Beach Electric Railway. This road was built a year upon the sand, and was swept away during the storm ofOctober, 1893. It is to be rebuilt upon trestle construction, and bulk-heads and jetties projecting into the ocean. The road is to be inoperation June 1. proved that short circuits of dynamos are most frequently traced to thethrowing or conveying of oil from the engine to the dynamo. Another point is the improved
