The balmy air and piney woods keep them healthy. electrician at the cabin where the circuitis tested after each stop, they must doso by the wig-wag system of flags,such as is practiced in the army. Thiscode is usually designed by the chief elec-trician, and he teaches it to the information, whether regarding in-jury to circuit breakers, wires, etc., istransmitted by the boys waving a a passer-by the circling and dippingof the flags look like a holiday pastime,but in reality it is the operation of animportant function of a modern braketrial, even though participated in byboys. Instead of finishing the test in a dayor so, as was originally contemplated, itwill be found that fully a week has beenconsumed in preparation alone. It has. TWO PISTON TRAVEL EXPERTS. taken that time to put such parts as thespeed recorder, the train pipe vent tripand the circuit breaker wiper on theengine, taking out seats and making pipeconnections to the cylinder pressure in-dicators and gauges which have been in-stalled in the cars, erecting the cabin inwhich are housed the battery, the deli- cate electrically connected clock, chrono-graph recording machine, and the elec-tric wiring of the track circuit and cir-cuit breakers. Instead of the air-brake inspector anda boy, with the assistance of the traincrew being able to carry on the test andcollect all the data, as was anticipatedwhen the subject was first discussed inits primary stages, there is found to bea crew of about 50 men, each assignedto a special, important post of duty. In-stead of the back of the envelopebeing atle to hold the data, each of thecrew of so men is supplied with a ruledblank book for collecting the data at hisindividual station of more than 100 runs.
