Story of the Wonderful De

Past Twenty
Years. PASSING OF STEAM TRACTION

Through tho Development or
tho Electric Locomotive
Chicago to Now
York In Ten
Hours.
During the summer of 18S7, there
appeared In tho Now York Sun tho
following facetious news Item:
"They tried an electric car on
Fourth nremtc yesterday. It created
nn amount of surprise and consterna
tion from Third St. to One Hundred
anil Seventeenth St. that wub some
thing Hko that caused by the first
steamboat on the Hudson. Small boys
yelled "dynamite!" nnd "ratal" and
mado similar appreciative remarks un
til they were hoarse. Newly-nppolnted
policemen debated arresting It, but
went no further. Tho enr horses

That was less than twenty years
ngo. Today tho New York Central
Railroad Company h expending ?F0,
f'OO.OOO In tho electrification of tho Ilrst
thirty-five miles of Its system, ami tho
car horses wero long ngo relegated to
the bon cyan!, If not to tho "saustigo
factory."
"They" have dono marvelous things
since the Increasing Knowledge of
electricity open Ml up n new world of
nchlevoment. nnd we hnvo scarcely
crossed the threshold. In 1SP0 tho elec

cut Itorn in Old Vermont,
When In 1SJM Thomas Davenport, of
Ilnindon. Vt., ran a toy motor mounted
on wheels on n small clieulnr railway,
the modern electric railroad with its
possible spceil of over one hundred
miles an hour was born.
I:i IP.IS Kohort Davidson, of Aber
deen, Scotland, built an electric loco
motive which actually ronched n speed
of tour miles mi hour on tho Edln-burgh-C-lBHgow
railway. Nino years
later Professor .Moses O. Parmer oiv
crated an experimental car which car
ried two passengers nt Doer, New
Hampshire.
Then the United States congress bo
came Interested. Hy special grantu
Professor Page of Smithsonian Insti
tute wiiK allied In the construction of
eovcral form's of motors. Ono of them
was used ns n locomotive and, drheii
by n battery of one hundred Orovo
elements, was tried April 21), 1851, on
a railroad running from Washington
to Itlndenshurg. A speed of nineteen
miles an hour was developed, so great
that it destroyed the batteries.
Numerous other experiments fol
lowed, nil commercial failures becausn
tho motors wwe crude aud the source
of power a primary battery. Tho de
velopment of tho wonderful modern
iynnmo was necessary before electric
railroading could become a commercial
success. The first great step was In
1S0O, when an Italian named Paclnot
tl Invented a continuous current dy
namo. Three years later tho first
practical commercial ninchlno for con
tinuous current operation was mado
by Gramme.
Still the modern electric car was im
possible. The "reversibility of func
tion" had yet to be discovered, Involv
ing electrical transmission of energy
through two machines, ono driven by
power and generating electricity; the
ether reversing the operation, receiv
ing electricity and developing me
chanical power.
Like many other Important discov
eries, tills Is said to have been tho re
Bult of accident. A workman coupled
a machine to a live circuit by mis
take and was greatly astonished to sco
It begin to rotate. This reversibility
of function was publicly demonattate
for the first time at tho Vienna expo
sition In 1873.
Not until 1870 was the first electric
railway put in operation, taking the
current from a dynamo, using a mod
tra motor and carrying paaaenger.
Tbla novelty wai In operation at the
Berlin expoaltkw aad was a mile asul
two-third, la Seofftk. The train cen
toted of a sjaall locomotive and three
am&ll car, capable at carrjrimr twen
ty people. It readuMt ft id 9t
saile a mot.
About this tlmo Stephen D. Field
mil Thomas Edison In tho United
States began experimenting. In 1SS0
Hd'son was operating nt Menlo Park
an electric locomotive which pulled
two cars.
Tho First Electric Ilnilroml.
The first regulnr electric lino to bo
estnbllshel was at Llchtorfeldo, Ger
many, near Herlln. It was only n mile
nnd a half in length and opened for
trafflc In May, 1SS1. Tho trains car
ried twenty-six passengers, at a maxi
mum speed of thirty miles an hour.
The Ilrst electric car to bo operated
regularly In tho United States was In
stalled by Deft on tho Hamdcn branch
of the Ilaltlmore Union Passenger
Hallway In August, 1SS0. That
was barely twenty years ngix So
groat whs the skepticism of the publlt
and railway men generally that the con
tract under which tho road was built
withheld pnyment one year so that It
mlcht be determined whether tho cars
would run. "No one but n kniivo or
n fool would undertake such n thing,"
said a well known scientist nt tho
time Scientists sometimes have troublo
keeping up with tho procession. About
the same time small cars were oner

Twenty Years of Achlcement.
At the beginning of 1887 there wero
In the whole world less than sixty
miles of electric rntlroad track, ami
only about one hundred motors and
motor cars. In 1005 there were nearly
thirty thousand miles of electric track
iti the United States alone.
This change was not accomplished
without opposition, discouragement
ami financial dllllcultles. Mr. Spraguo
himself, who wns so potent a factor In
working this change, hns told tho story
of his first Important contract In tho
spring of 18S7, tho Union Passenger
Hallway company of Ulehmond, Vn.,
engaged him to build an electric rail
way. The first ear was run out ono
night while the skeptical people slept,
to make suro It could climb the hills.
It started out In a blaze of glory ami

From that time forward me tuturo
of electric railroading wits ussureil and
events moved rapidly. City after city
adopted tho new inotlvo power; homo
cars became things of tho past, In
tcrurlmu roads begun to gridiron the
country everywhere, and In each In
stance n commercial success was
scored. Klectrlc Interurban lines havo
been money makers from tho start.
Thp greatest development has boon
In the east; but the west is not far
behind. The Aurora, Klgln and Chi
cago Klectrlc railway (tho third-rail
system) which has been In operation
several years, Is famous. From one
center power station over two hun
dred miles of road are opornted, or will
bo as soon ns the lino to Ilolvldcre Is
completed. Klectrlclty at wholesnio Is
told to cities nnd villages along tho
routo for lighting purposes; electricity
for power Is sold to former. Trains
of elegant enrs run into Chicago at ft
peed which would havo seemed im
possible a few years ago. Passengers
wavo good byo to steam trains on a
paralleling railroad, which they pass
easily. A parlor nud dlulng car is ono
of the luxuries which the suburbanites
enjoy going to aud from the city, and
tho railroad seems a veritable gold
mine for Its owners.
Tho horse car has long since disap
peared. Will the Iron horsw, the great
steam locomotive, bo supplanted also?
This question occurs to all who can
see tho slgnltlcauco of pusslng events.
Probably not for many years to come.

when electric railroad will connect

Tho Scientific Amerlenn of Feb. 18,
jnori. speaking editorially of tho New
York Central experiment, says, The
sueeeis af this Installation, of which
there can bo no doubt whatever, mnrks
tho first step In tho gradual substi
tution of the electric for tho steam
locomotive in the operation of longdis
tance express trains." Tho Chicago
New York project mny bo regarded tho
second step.
Mi. Hprnguo himself says that speed
Is "a matter of llimnew." "What then

"Ciiloily the financial factor, ns It must
