With reference to railway; crossing acr cidents, a correspondent writes to th# Christchurch "Tress" as follows:—"In refcrenco.to the sad accident to Dr. Fullerton at a railway crossing, it has occurred M ma that tho system carried out around Cape Town conld be easily adopted here. No crossing-keepers arc required and no accidents occur. When tho train gets a certain distance from a crossing, two long poles fall into place right across each side of the street, which stops alltraffic until the train has passed. Then they gradually rise into an upright.position. In the-centre of each pole is a swinging lamp for night use. When the pole is down a dog-proof netting hangs from it to the ground, so that not even a «cg can get hurt.' At crossings where this cannot bo used an alarm boll is set ringing until tho train has passed. All this is done automatically, and there are never any accidents such as we get here."
