In order to safeguard the railway platform official who gives and receives the " tablet" from being drawn to the line by lie passing train, a stout chain is now attached to a post or the verandah-pillar, which has a leather cross-belt attached. The officer slips the belt over both shoulders and is thereby held in firm check from the possibility of an accident if the new device is properly adjusted. It was tried at Kaiapoi the other day, and seemed to have the merit of greatly reducing the hitherto highly dangerous practice of catching the '"tablet' from trains going at high tspeed.
