At first we ran at the rate of 60 miles aa hour, over a track devoid of traffic passing '- over' the ' three sections ..into which the line is divided. As the engine entered each section a bell with a deep note sounded, -denoting, that ',tbe line was clear, "'Now." said .Mr!'-Angus, "we will see what happens -when another engine l on the line."; He rang through , from a control box to headquarters and m structed the drlver-.of the. other loco motive to run. Into a section It Is a single-line railway, so the second loco motive , was on our line direct ahead. .. "We will make s rush at speed for fhat engine,' said Mr. Angus. "The driver .will pretend to take no notice of it and we will see what happens.". The driver opened the throttle end the lo comotive' started off.' Its speed became xreaterand greater. Ahead on our line was the other locomotive. There seemed no apparent reason why we should 'not crash into It. Then suddenly the whistle of the engine shrieked;- yet the driver had touched -nothing In the ordinary j This shrill whlsMe would be the warn ing to the driver that be was in.

The engine Slowed abrupt ly and stopped dead, Still the driver had touched nothing. The brain of the engine saved ua-; from disaster,. i How.it la. eu done became evident from an examination of tha permanent way and control boxes.
