Nkw Self-Actixo Railroad Switch.—A
promising and important invention in railroad
switches has attracted recently a considerable
degree of attention from those interested in such
mutters. It is supposed the track can.be chang
ed by incans of machinery without the interven
tion of a switch-tender,and that in such a way
as tobe of immediate practical benefit. A frog
is placed between the rails of the track, connected
by lovers with the rails to be moved, and ns tho
engine pauses over, a toggle is dropped, which,
passing through a grove in the centre of I lie ft>8,
ppresaing luttci'uliy upon tlic flanges or sub s
of the groove, instantly, and with great precision
etilicta the requisite change. If this inven
tion can be Rucc .ssfully carried out in practice,
then in the first place the requirnient of switch
tenders is dune away and the safety of pusswn
goix IVora accidents resulting from the careless
Inefficiency of those appointed to attend
tho switches is materially enhanced.
This improvement is so constructed, that the
engineer, by attending to hiaduty in relation to
