FIG. 7.—CAR AT BLOCK SIGNAL a car enters it, and eliminating all possibility of accident throughfailure of the far signal to work. This system was invented by Howell W. Souder of Tamaqua,and is being put on the Market by the Eureka Automatic ElectricSignal Company, of Lansford, Pa. NEW COMMUTATION TICKET The National Ticket Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, is intro-ducing a new form of commutation ticket that is meeting withconsiderable favor. It was originally designed for the Lake Shore& Michigan Southern Railway, and has since been adopted byseveral interurban electric railways. The agents stub, couponsand contract are in one continuous strip folded conveniently forcarrying in the pocket, and completely prevents manipulation bypassengers, as coupons cannot be presented detached or old cou-pons inserted in new cover, as is often done with the old stylecommutation books. It has other advantageous features whichare readily discernible upon examination of the ticket itself. 38o STREE
