The result is that it practicallyshortens the block by one-half the dis-tance and hastens the movement oftraffic to that extent. This method ofusing the telephone between Newarkand Bellaire, over 104 miles of sinpletrack, has been in use for about twoand a half years with great success. Itis a system that very much facilitates the han lling of traffic and is periccllysjife in the movement of trains. The Detroit Five Feed LocomotiveLubricator. The Detroit No. 41 Five Feed Loco-motive Lubricator, bullseye pattern, isattracting a good deal of attention atthe present time, especially in connection. DETROIT FIVE FEED LOCOMOTIVE LUBRICATOR with balanced compound locomotives. Itperforms the same service as has beendone by two lubricators (one double feedand one triple feed) in the past and ittakes up much fess space in the feeds can be arranged to feedagainst either high or low pressure asmay be desired. Phantom Train. the atmosphere, will-o-the-wisp fires andmany other things have been put forwardto explain it. Even the supernatural wasdragged in to serve the purpose, but tothis day the mystery has remained un-solved. Another case of the same kindhas just presented itself in Michigan,which will interest all acquainted with theValcartier-St. Catherines story.
