He provides a controlled connectionbetween the water or steam space in theboiler and the under side of the check, asshown in Fig. 2. This can be set and left with heater on,any length of time, as it does not interferewith the working of pump or non-lift-ing injector. Where the line check is inpipe and not in injector, an opening ismade in it, as shown at //, Fig. 2, to allowsteam to heat pipe behind it. Fig. I shows a similar device, except thata live steam pipe is connected to it andcarried back to cab, where engineer canstop or start heater, it having been foundthat with some lifting injectors this relied upon. Gives an unmistakablecaution signal to trains. The capacity ofa road greatly increased by using theEclipse semaphore. No rear-end collis-ions. No greater contrast possible be-tween danger and safety positions. Ope-rators cannot move the blade out ofdanger without causing an alarm bell toring. No more running into open switches. i i i Luxury in Travel. The Northwestern Line, embracingnearly 8,000 miles of standard railway, haslong been known as one of the most pro-gressive railways in the West, and it cer-tainly merits this distinction, as we cantestify from an extended trip recentlymade over a major portion of its of the handsomest trains we have evertraveled in (and nobody could wish forfiner service) is the NorthwesternLimited, leaving Chicago at for St. Paul, Minneapolis and is vestibuled throughout and lightedwith gas, and has been justly described
