from
Horse transportation is but one fac
tor in the total passing of the city.
Cable and trolley cars rattling from
side to side, motors with their fiend
ish variety of whistles thread their
way in and out; while the overhead
trolley wires, like the strings of some
huge, discordant violin, never cease
their vibrations. Thoreau speaks of
the sounding of the telegraph wires,
"that winter harmony of the open road
and snow-clad field.” Grateful as that
song may be in the quiet of the coun
try, in the city the noise of the racked
trolley wire above adds a peculiarly
trying factor to the pounding from
the rocking cars below, the Atlantic
savg. When corporate officials desire
to economize on traction lines th*y
not uncommonly equip the service with
poor rails and wheels. The rails toon
wear away. The wheels assume the
shape of polygons instead of circles,
and, as they turn, strike flattened an
gles against the irregularities of the
Iron rail. This is a particularly effect
ive method of adding to the total noise.
Fortunately, there is one way of re
lief in sight. Few devices in trans
portation have done more for the quiet
of the city than have the increasing
use of subways. Though the reverbera
tion within the subways proper may
be greatly increased, the relief on the
street is marked. Only in our greater
cities and alontf main trunk lines,
however, does the subway yet exist.
The elevated, so far as noise is con
cerned. gives practically little advan
tage over the surface car save for the
interm'.ttence of stopping and starting
and the absence of the sound of the
bell.
