One day I Tho rapid extension of tha third-rail system electric railroads, not only on elevated lines, but on surface lines In the country, has brought tho public faco to faco with n serious question - should electric rujlroad companies be allowed to Interlace the country with a network of "live" rails, tho slight est touch of which Is likely to produce drntli or serious Injury? Altvndy many third-rail lines nro In operation on the surface, one being the road from Chicago to Aurora. Two similar lines have been Incorporated within a day or two In Illinois, and are preparing to build from Chicago as a center. When electricity first came Into gm crnl use as a m6tlvc power, the news papers were filled with columns of uiattor almut tho "deadly trolley," and bitter opoaon developed, llsda rail road attempted at that time to lay a llvo rail on tho ground, public Indigna tion would hare caused an opcii revolt. Singularly enough, the third-rail sur face lln'.s now appenr to exctto only a mild sort of surprise. Nevertheless, In some sections, move ments are on foot looking toward a remedy for the evil, and engineer have long Iwn busy trying to Invent some device that would obviate the danger. In New Tork and Brooklyn so many accldentn have occurred from the live rail on tho elevated roads that o line, Hjb3 m (fwTtff JfcSa hail otunnzn at Tim sinrs. at least, will soon equip Ita third ralli with a shield, to protect unfortunate persons who may fall from derated trains or platforms. Many contrivances hare been con sldcrrd by thu New York tevatitl rail roads. The in-ttt feasible appears to be a wooden guard which covers the rail on thu top nnd one slae, leaving the other side open. A specially construct cd "shoe," nttnchrd to the motor car, nts into this slue slot nnd runs In It. The rail Itself Is thus out of rmcli. unless n persin dtlibvrutely puts a hand or foot Into tho Mot. Another device that has had consider ation coiMlst In sn Inverted third mil, suspended close to the ties, nnd so con structed that (he "shoe" runs on the under side. The upper side Is deadened or Insulated. Tho former plan seems to be the most practicable, owing to the difficulty In suspending tho rail prop erly. Not only will the Improvement pro tect passengers, but It will save many exasperating delays during snow and Ice storms, thv rail being almost en tlrely protected from such causes of trouble.
