DISAPPEARING GATES.
Grade Crossing Protection Without Any
Unsightly Features.
A disappearing gate for railroad crossings has been recently patented "by Frederick Nichols of Lynn, Mass. The many
advantages of snch a gate "will he readily
understood. Its construction is very
simple, there being no cogs or gears. It
is made of sliding and jointing bars and
angle irons and can be constructed "without great expense.
A trench about four feet deep is dug
on each side of the tracts across the
street. The earth sides of this trench
•tre supported by plates of boiler iron,
instead of expensive masonry, bolted
to U shaped iron castings. To these
castings is fastened the lower and stationary part of the gate. The slit or
opening through which the gate comes
up is, of course, protected from dirt,
etc., by the top rail of the gate when it
is down und when public travel is passing over it. When tho gate is up, the
opening or slifc is protected, as public
travel over it is stopped. The bottom of
the trench is of gravel or concrete, and
it is graded toward one end to allow
water wliich does not soak up to run off
into a sewer or blind drain.
At the side of this opening, on the
street level, are cast iron plates covering
manholes, which allow a man to go the
entire length of trench to oil or adjust
any of the movable Avorkmg parts.
The gate is counterbalanced with
weights, and friction is reduced to a
minimum, thus making its operations
easy. A bell signal is sounded before
the gates are raised. At night incandescent lamps are lighted by contact being
automatically made as the gates are
raised. "Lanterns are used where electricity is not available. t
The gates are quick and easy in action, can be operated by one man, where
it often requires two by present methods. They can be operated from switch
or signal tower in many instances. They
will not interfere with trolley wires or
electric car tracks. The gates arc raised
and lowered by the simple movement of
a lever on which is a latch, securing
the gate in any position.—Philadelphia
Record.
"How on Owl Saved a Train.
Owls aro by common consent* adjudged to be birds cf ill omen, but Engineer Ned Barnett of the Santa Fe
says he happens to know that they are
anything but that "aud tells the following story to prove his assertions:
One morning as tho east bound overland was pulling through the mountains
west of here, Burnett's engine doing
the work, a- big horn beaked owl dashed against the front window of the cab
"with such force as to break the window, the bird itself dropping dead at
the engineer's feet. Though "Barnett is
not, generally speaking, a superstitious
man, this seemed so singular an occurrence that ho stopped the train and sent
a brakeman ahead to see if the way was
clear. Strange to relate, the brakeman
soon returned, reporting a landslide
across the track in the mountain pass
about 100 yards ahead. Hand"; were
sent at once to clear the track, and in
removing the debris they found another
owl, no doubt mate to the first, caught
in the crotch of an uprooted tree, crushed to death in the fall.
Barnett had both owls stuffed, and
tho two now adorn his cab, always insuring him geed luck, he says.—Philadelphia Times.
