✦ Synopsis

Vacuum ][]rake.--The engineers of the French Northern Railway have made satisfactory experiments with the vacuum brake. MM. Sartiaux and Lartique have devised some ingenious arrangements for bringing it into automatic action, if any mistake is made respecting the crossings. Distressed passengers, who need help, can operate the brake instead of ringing a bell.--Nature.
