Joshua T. OWen and J. Phillips, Esq., to examine the opera tion of a new safety signal,worked by electric ity, and designed for application .to railroad switches, drawbridges, &c. The inventor of the system is. Mr. Robert Stewart. an accom plished electrician, the . Superintendent bf the -Telegraphie-Department-of—theilamden_aod__ Amboy Railroad COmpany. The, company lave placed one of these signals t Trenton, to test it, with the intention to use them upon all the roads over which they have control, if. it should be found perfect. The following de scription will give the reader some notion of the character of the invention; To a switch a short distance above the de- pot the electrical apparatus was attached. The instrument, a small affair concealed by a brass box, is fastened against the upright support to the lever of the switch ; to it is connecteci a telegraph wire running , underneath the gin , face a few feet to telegraph poles ? where it is attached to insulators. The wir stretches from pole to pole until it reaches the signal station, a small building containing the bat teries and other necessary apparatul for work ing the signal. The letter is placed on the top of the house at an elevation of about eight or ten feet,'and resembles a ..miiiiature building. The signals in colors are the same as used for many years. The red signal is fastened to a square frame so as to easily lift up and down in the box. When the switch is displaced the red signal is always exhibitediand when'it is properly and securely cloffed the/white signal is displayed. As before stated, the magnet or instrument is fastened to the upright of the switch. Pro jecting from it is a small handle of iron. When the lever is arranged so as to close the switcl;' the handle of the magnet presses against it. This operates on the machinery and the signal-box as a current of electricity misses through the wires and sets the ma chinery in motion, winding around the spin- • dle a cord. connected with the top of the frame of the set signal, eausing,lt to raise aboVe the glass window in front of the box, and disap pear behind the upper door. The moment the switch is displaced, the hold of the handle of the magnet IS no longer supported by the lever, and causes the red signal to descend, the electricity operating the machinery in a simi lar manner, winding the cord up and support ing the frame. The advantages of this invention are that mediately turned - and saw a man est:Lg the4east-mi. , . • .vi ch causes the from the door in the office ;at the same tune, red signal to appear ; the breakiug of a Wire in looking tciwards the street, I saw ama,n with will have the same effect; so that if the switch his hand uplifted 'with a blackjack; and in the should be tampered with or. he tender should act of throwing the blackjack , what occurred neglect . to move it for an approaching train, after that until I found myself emerging from the engineer would discover that there was th store into the street I cannot sa,y ; I re- danger ahead and stop his train.

The Pali 'krzette says : "Those who have been in the habit of list- ening_with_a_We_and adoration to the solemn utterances of domestic furniture will readwitli some .surprise a letter in the Stapdard , from Mr. W. F. Faulkner,philosophical in.strument maker, in which he states that for many years be has had a large sale for spirit-rapning mag nets and batteries expressly made for conceal ment under the door,..m.euebards, under ta bles, and even for the' Ulterior of the centre support of large round'tables and boxes. He has supplied also quantities ofprepared wire to be placed Under arpets and oil-cloth,or under the wainscot and gilt beading around ceilings and rooms. All these, he says, were obviouSly used for apiet,rapping ; and-the - connection to each rapper and battery was to be made by means of a small button, like those 'used for telegraphic boll-ringing purposes, or by means of a brass-headed or other nail under the car pet, at particular patterns known to the spiritualist. These rappers, he adds, when carefully placed, are calculated to mislead the most wary. Then there are spirit-rapping magnets and,batteries constructed expressly for tlmpocketl,and these, he tells us, will of 'course rap at any part of the room. He ha's also made drums and bells which Will beat and ring at command ; but these two latter are not,so frequently used as the magnets are, be cauSe they are too easily defected. We quite believe Mr. Faulkner, but we should like to know - w 12,0 gave him the order for all these !..v.i.res; magnets and:batteries." MARBLE WORKS. .
