TELLS OF APPROACHING CARS

Electric Signal Warns Motorists and Pedestrians to Watch Out for Possible Danger. In order to warn motorists and others of the approach of traction cars at an intersection of two narrow streets where the view is obstructed by buildings, fences, and trees, an electric sig-

nal of rather novel appearance has been put in use. At the an iron post, which also carries the street signs, is mounted a propeller-shaped member which oscillates whenever a car nears the crossing. At night a sign beneath this., signal asm bearing the word “Danger'’ is illuminated in red. —Popular Mechanics. • i 1 . 1 ?.. ■
