rO PREVENT COLLISSIONS
Automatic Block System Being Put
in by Iron Mountain Makes
Collissions Impossible.
The new automatic block system
which the Iron Mountain is put
ting in on the main line between
Jefferson Barracks. Mo., and Tex
arkana is one of t he greatest en
terprise ever undertaken by this
rroad. With this system in work
ing order it is an impossibility for
two trains to collide.
The system has been placed as
far south as De Soto, Mo., and
will be put in operation within the
week. In the thirty-two miles
from Jefferson Barracks to l)e So
to there are thirty-eight blocks,
-each representing about Si,out),
and when the 4So miles of track
between Jefferson Barracks and
Texarkana i< taken into considera
tion it is seen that the undertaking
is of immense magnitude.
The Iron Mountain has a double
track from St. Louis to Jefferson
Barracks, a distance of ten miles,
and this will not he equipped with
the block system, and after Popu
lar Bluff is passed the track is
straighter and will not require as
many stations as arc being put in
north of De Soto. A block is es
tablished at every curve and the
arm is operated by the train itself.
Then* is no way for one train to
enter a Mock which contains an
other train without the full knowl
edge of the engineer.
A train coming into a block
throw- the arm to real at both ends
of tin* block. Passing out of that
block into another the first arm
shows clear and the one in front
•changes from clear to red. In this
way a train is protected both in
front and rear by these singnals.
No signalman i> necessary, as the
engine coming into the block
closes the electric circuit, which
starts a motor to running. This
motor controls the arms.
In the event of a workman
throwing a crowbar or other ob
stacle across the track the circuit
is closed and the danger signal is
given. If a rail h broken or mis
placed the circuit is closed and the
red board is given at. both ends of
the block. A system of three
wires strung on in lepmdent poles
furnishes power to the motors
which control these signal arms
and each signal is operated by its
individ tal system.
It is estimated that no less than ]
$>500.(MM) will be expended in this j
work on the Iron Mountain alone j
mid the entire main line of the]
Missouri Pacific system is being]
equipped in the same manner.

WONT FELE'S PROJECTION.
Great Obelisk Thrown Up from the
Volcano's Crater Is a Sub
ject for Study.
T Ik* projection at tlio summit of
Mont Pole—it is no hinger spelled
]Vle( which rose to a height of
()0H teet above the oid summit of
t ne mount a in. prom ises to tx* one of
the most interesting features in
the study of that volcanic vent,
states 1 tie Knginering and Mining
.Journal.
Affording to lleilprin, Hovey,
Lacroix and other observers, it
was thrust up through the crater
at tin* rate of as much as 41 feet
per day, until it stood up as a
shark's tooth or obelisk far above
the old cone. Prof. Lacroix, who
headed a commission from the
French government, decided—
nearly a year ago—that it was an
exceedingly viscous acid lava
which has solidified on extrusion,
and rose vertically instead of
flowing (tut of the crater in the
normal manner of lava streams.
Now. however. Prof. Angelo
Heilprin states that this tower
ing mass is none other than the
ancient core of the volcano loos
ened from its place and pushed up
bodily by the energy of the volcan
ic orifice. When access can be ob
tained to the crater so as to obtain
fragments of tin* rock of which
this Itu o projection is built up.it
should be pos ihle to decide bv
