It remained for a Canadian, Mr. H Bunker, of Barrie, to invent what is ac knowledged by all railroad men as the perfect Coupler, Its workingparts are sininlieity itself. Each coupler has a, horizontal belt with an arrow head slightly twieted so that When the ca,rs jam together the head strikes crosswise in a sloe in the other coupler. The twist in the head forces the bolt to turn allowing it to entee the slot, its own weight turns it back and the cars are COnpled. The coupler also has the ord- inaey _drawhed, allowing it ,to .he at7 taehed- to any "foreign" car, that is,one not 'rigged with: "this coupler.: The coupler now goes by the name.of "The Alehouse" after a Chicago gentleman by that name, Who bought out the pa. tent, and is engaged in perfecting the design,so as to put it upon the market.

At the first trial the coupler, .drawhead and all, was pulled nearly off' the ear, tt the next the pin in the car nextahead gave Way, but the etteegth, and utility of ihe . invent- ion were clearly proven, The cars fit. ted with the new, coupler will be sent to Montreal, where the tests will be re- peated before 'the presidents of the two roadS to.day.
