In electricity there U nothing more
Interesting than Its application to
■team railways.
Engineers of high
standing believe that the day is near
at hand when most o f the larger rail
ways will dispense with Bteam locomo
tives and employ electrical motive
power, either by motors fed from third
rails or overhead conductors, or by
electric locomotives.
However this
may be, electricity is already coming
Into use on steam railways. The New
York Central Is spending forty million
dollars for electrification of Its metro
politan terminal, partly for the pur
pose o f dispensing with smoke and
coal gas In the tunnels, and partly to
obtain higher speed o f trains.
It is easy even for a layman to un
derstand the superiority of electricity
as a motive power In urban and sub
urban transportation. With a locomo
tive, traction is secured from
th#
weight of the driving wheels. With
the multiple-unit system the weight o f
every car in the train may, If desired,
be put upon the drivers. In service
with frequent stops, speed is secured
by a high rate of acceleration; and a
rapid acceleration requires power and
weight. In New York’s new subway
a train of eight cars will carry motors
which may, at any desired moment,
exert a tractive force equal to that of
a half dozen large steam locomotives.
O f great promise is the motor which
uses an alternating current without
sub-station transformers. I f it proves
entirely successful, it will Introduce a
large economy in all electrical railway
operation. The application of electri
cal railway devices to all sorts of In
dustrialism affords material for a book
all by itself, ranging, as It does, from
the great electrical locomotive and the
huge overhead crane to the broiling of
a beefsteak or curling of my lady’s
hair hy means of the magic current.
In almost every workshop electrical
tools may be found. In these, and In
compressed-air appliances, may be
found the greatest advance in shop-
mechanics during the decade. There
Is a new automatic or mechanical tele
graph sender, transmitting messages
forty times ns fast as a human opera
tor. In fact. It is well known that
science and Invention have, during the
last ten years, made telegraphy so
easy and cheap that, if we had in this
country a government or postal tele
graph Instead of semi-public compa
nies, short letters could be sent by
wire almost as cheaply as by poet.
Unless I read incorrectly the signs of
the times, postal telegraphy is immi
nent in America; it Is demanded by
progress, and progress cannot be de
nied. The automatic telephone Is com
ing rapidly Into use, and promises to
carry the convenience o f telephonlo
communication to hundreds of thou
sands who cannot now afford i t The
rural telephone Is growing at an amas-.
lng rate, too, and already scores of
thousands of American farmers have
the ’phone In their bouse*.— W’ alter
