road and engineering men of New York
to such an extent that they are con-
sidering organizing a stock company
for its promotion.
Pajiers of the Middle West and South
have given considerable publicity to
this matter reeenly.
Blanton, while employed in the en-
gineering department of the Texas A
Pacific Railroad, in Dallas, during the
first half of the present year, demon-
strated a miniature model of his de-
vice before many prominent railroad
officials of Texas, who were favorably
impressed by its operation.
The remarkable part of thia device
is that it is the only automatic de-
railing device ever inivented for use
on steam and electric railroad*. It can
be installed <>n sidings, at drawbridges,
interlocking plants and in block signal
systems.
The inventor had in mind the preven-
tion of such accidents a* the rec-nt ca
tasthrophe in Boston, when a tram
plunged into a river on account of an
open drawbridge, resulting in the loss
of a score of people.
It is the intentwm of a large engii»«-«< !
mg compat.y ot New York to take the)
matter op with the Interstate Com-1
merer Commission, with a view of se-j
eunng it* ad<>j>t»oa as the standard dr-
rail for all the railreodf throqgbonr

ture the bi-prodiMt of that material,

tained and of beat grade stuff.
Street Paving Material
Mr. Crandall this afternoon took
larger piece of this asphalt and gave
i an aialytieal try out as to its merits
for street and road paving purposes and
he found it to be first-class for such
purposes, just as it is for the production
of asphaltum or oil bi-products. Mr.
Crandall mixed gravid and *«nd with
the asphalt, two-thirds of the mixture
being sand and graved, then he heated
the compound to 220 degrees and cast
the mould in a tin can, making a small
block weighing a pound of hard imperv-
ious substance which he says convinces
him that this asphalt when, properly
treated, will make first-class street and
toad material for paving purposes.
Mr. Crandall recommends most high-
ly the various bi-products and comrner
cial value of thi* Cook* countv asphalt.
