In a recent issue of the Railroad
Gazette there is an interesting ar
ticle from Prof. Alexander Hogg of
Ft. Worth, Tex., to prove that a rail
road train going eastward is helped
both by the force of the earth's rev
olution eastward and by the pre
vailing" west wind. On the other
hand a train is obstructed and de-
ayed to a corresponding extention
going west. Trials of railroad
speed, to obtain the best results,
should accordingly be from west to
east. Mr. Hoofer's reasoning" is
supported by elaborate mathemati
cal formula, and his formula are
approved in tlje main by the
Railroad Gazette as leading to the
correct solution. The argument is
urther sustained by Prof. B. H.
Randle of Byhali, Miss., who adds
that a train going west is not re
tarded so much .as one going east is
accelerated. As he puts it, "a
east increases its
centrifugal force and lightens the
train." Professor Randle estimates
hat a train running seventy miles
an hour going north or south losses
two miles an hour by reason of the
rotation of the earth, "on account
ot pressure against the right rail."
It wounld be interesting" to know
whether practical railroad men
have found that other things being
equal, they make better time going
east than west.

BRITISH STEAMER GOES DOWN.
Over Two Hundred I'eople Find Watery
Graves off French Coast.
Brest, France, June 18. The British
steamer Drummond Castle, Captain N.
M. Pierce, from Capo Town for Lon
don, collided at midnight with an un
known steamer and sank three-minutes
later with 144 passengers and 103 offi
cers and crew on board. When a later
dispatch from Ushant announced that
the vessel struck a rook while hugging
the French coast, instead of being in
collision with another steamer, it was
conceded that there could be few sur
vivors. Six bodies have been washed
ashore on the island of Ushant. The
vessel sank and disappeared directly in
about three minutes after striking.
Only two boats were launched and one
of these is believed to have been lost.
The passengers must have been asleep
when the vessel struok. Seafaring men
believe the Drummond Castle, while
under full speed, struck the ledge,
ripped open the compartments aad the
greater part of the ship's bottom, slid
across the ledge and went down in the
deep water on the outside. It is tli ought
that important witnesses in tho trial of
Dr. Jameson and other citizens and
mining men of Transvaal with their
families were on the vessel.
