CHfCAOO, Feb. 13, Practical demon stration of the utility of a new de parture whloh, it b claimed by rail road officials, will s effectively prove the solution In a large degrea of th railway collision problem, was made lost night on the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul road near her. The device consists of an exceeding ly powerful headlight Whlclr not only perfectly Illuminates the track with an Immensely bright shaft of light for a distance of a mile, but also em braces the striking and novel feature of a beam of light of almost equal brilliancy penetrating over seven I nn dred feet above, which can be clearly seen ten miles distant. It thrVeby pofsible for approaching trains to ab solutely locate each other by thltt ver tical shaft of light, -though miles part and It Is this feature whirn rail road officials claim will eliminate the possibility of collision. This vertical b-am will. In hilly country especially where curves In the track are num erous, so positively flx the location of trains that nothing but carelessness on the part of tho englnemen will per mit a collision. The apnrntus consists of a powerful electric arc headlight, a dynamo and steam motor, all of which occupy the xpace on the locomotive usually de voted to the headlight. The dynamo which generates th- current for this veritable searchlight occupies a space less than fifteen Inches wide directly hwhlnd the headlight and Is operited fcy 1 motor driven by steam Impact n a turbine wheel. The current Is "0o candle power which can be re duced lo any degree of brilliancy at the will of the engineer. One of the heaviest passenger en1 glne on the Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul, fully equipped with this head light drew a special train a n'imber of miles out of Chicago last night and a practical demonstration of the working of the a para t us was given under the supervision of Charles W Adams, formerly assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania system. At a distance of half a mile the telegraph poles and framework on tne semaphoie were clearly de fined, while the track bed Itself waa diatlnctly visible for one mile. Straight above the locomotive a shaft of light as thick aa man' body penetarted the darknesa and persons posted ten mHes wejy reported that! it was clearly distinguishable. This is an entirely new departure In headlight Illumination and railway signals. It 'a further proposed to convey signals f distress or other communications when trouble occurs between telegraph Taint by the use of colored glass to Hkr the vertical ray of light. Among (those aboard the special ast night were H. R Williams, Gen- ral Manager of the C M. A St. P: "V. J. Underwood, assistant genera' lanager; C. A. Woodard, general su ' erlntendent; F. A, Miller, genera' assenger agent, and J. F. Gibson, d' Islon superintendent and It was th nanlmous opinion that the headllr as thoroughly practical and wou eoome one of the future requisites li r''roa41ng.
