"It Is easy even for a layman to understand." fc writes, "the superiority of electricity as a motive power ln urban and suburban transportation. With a locomotive, trao tlon Is secured from the weight of the driv ing wheels. With the multiple-unit system the weight of every 'car In the train may, iY doslred, be put upon the drivers. In service with frequent stops, speed la se cured by a high rate of acceleration, anil a rapid acceleration requires power and weight. In New Tork's new subway a train of eight cars will carry motors which may, at any desired moment, exert a traotlve force equal to that of a half dosen large steam locomotives. ''Of great promise Is the motor which uses an - alternating current without aub-sta tlon transformera If It proves entirely successful,. It will Introduce a large eco nomy in all electrical railway operation. The application of electrical railway de vices to all sorts of industrialism .tffords materiul for a book all by Itself ranging, as It dots, from the great electrical loco motive and the huge overhead crane to the broiling of a beefeteak or curling of my lady'a huir by means of the magic current. I iv ulniost every workshop electrical tools may fce found. In ihea and In compressed air appliances, niay be found the greatest advance in snop-mechanlcs during the de cade. There is a new automatic or me chanical telegraph sender, transmitting tiicuages forty timee as fast ss a human operator. In lact. it Is well known that eelence and Invention have, during the last ten years, made telegraphy so eay and rhesn. that. If we had In this country a government or poHtal telegraph Instead of eml-puMic companies, short letters could be sent by wire almoat as oheuply aa by post. I'nlexa I read Incorrectly the signs of the times, poKlal telegraphy Is Imminent In America; it Is demanded by progress, and progress csuiiot be denied. The autumatlo telephone Is coming rapidly Into use, and promises to carry the convenience of tele phonic communication to hundreds of thou sands who cannot now afford it: The rural telephone Is growing at an amazing rate, too, and already score of thousands of American farmers have the 'phone In their houses." An Eleetrle Coin Oooter. Almoat every one. from the millionaires down, has felt the necessity of msklng money quickly and easily, the counting of It being a matter of secondary Importance. However, the coin of the realm was pro duced, whether In the form of bright cop per pennies or tl.000 gold certificates, It would seem like throwing the gauntlet down to fate to object to counting them. Tet there are times and conditions when men long for s mschlne capable of counting their money for them. Hence, the electrlo motor coin counting and wrapping machine. The object of such a device Is obviously to facilitate the rapid and accurate count ing and bundling of coins of all descrip tions, from pennies to doMars, since tere are msny lines of business which necessi tate th employment of many clerks ahnse sole duty heretofore has been the perform ance of this, laborious task. The machine counts and wraps coins at the rste of seven coins every second, or 420 ' coins every minute, and does this continu ously as long ss the motor runs and coins are fed Into the hopper. The colna are wrapped compactly at the rate of from eight to twelve bundles a minute, accord. Inn to the else of the coins. Since an expert Is only enabled to count and wrsp fifty coins a minute manually It will be seen that the mschlne will do at least as much work ss eight men. . It Is true that each machine requires an opera tor, whore work ronelsta cf a mere cursory examination of the ruins to see that there sre no plugged pieces. Iron washers and lead slugs mixed with good money. The ' speed of the machine Is limited only by the ability of the nperstor to detect the spurious coins. When the machine Is In operation the rnlns are laid upon a table to faoUltat examination, when they sre dropped Into a hopper, wnence they slide through a conduit down Into the active mechanism, where they are pushed Into a row. When the last coin has been forced Into Its plaoa by a reciprocating push bar the oolns are automatically transferred from a buncher to the wrapper while a new row is being brought Into position. As the coins reach the wrspper a roll of paper Is fed by three driving rolls placed around the. bundle of coin. By a rolling motion the paper Is wrapped around the coins twloe, when It la cut off by a V shaped knife. The next and finishing pro-' ceas Is turning In the projecting edges of the wrapper, which . Is done by means of crimpers, drawing the edges ln opposite directions, snd finally turning out a smoothly rolled package held firmly In plaoe without the use of pasta Etetrte Traetlom 1st Siberia. . To electrify Siberia In the practical man ner that electric traction means Is a project of one of Russia's noblemen, Count A. V. Lublensky, whlcb he deems not only de sirable, but necessary. He argues that tie transportation of passengers and goods on the Transalberlan railway, apart from the trafflo due to the war, has so developed that It will now be necessary to Increase the number of trains. Owing to several circumstances, particularly the lightness of ' the rails and the Insufficiency of water, the existing trains are said to have reached their practical limit of speed, snd though the water difficulty might be met by canal isation or other means, the relaying of the track would entail an enormous ex penditure of money and time. The count holds that the most rational and econom ical way of meeting the rave Is by the Introduction of electric trection on some parts of the line at least, making use of the present track, whose, many sharp1 curves and heavy gradients would not; limit the speed of a multiple unit electric: train to the ssme extent as In the case; cf a train drawn by a steam locomotive.. It Is planned to make use of Ihe rivers and! waterfalls along the course of the line for the supply of electric energy, which would, be generated at power stations from 1M to 200 kilometers apart, and distributed In both directions to transformer substations at a pressure of 100,000 volts. Another am bitious electrical scheme la In behalf of the Caucasian railway on the grounds that electrlo traction la particularly adapted to a mountainous country and In the abun dance of power Is to hand In the water falls of the Caucasus, whose rivers and mountain torrents along the railway dis trict, supplying up to eighty cubic meters of water per second, are an Ideal source of, power, A committee has been appointed! by the St. Petersburg Electro Technical association to make an exhaustive Investi gation of thla scheme. Iaveatloa Annihilates Space. Stephen Dudley Field, apeaklng of his new Invention, the "amplifier," designed to facilitate telegraphy, declares that by it the speed of ocean cabling may be dou bled and Its radius of action made un limited, and that wireless telegraphy may be at once brought to commercial practica bility. "I can hardly prophesy that my ampli fier will revolutionize electrical message transmission," he continued, "but it cer tainly will bring all present known methods to the limit of perfection, and, of course, to greater usefulness. Fur iiuuance, it will make It almost as easy to send a messugo from London to Shanghai, more than 10,0u0 miles, as to send it from Stock bridge to Great Harrington, less than ten mile. Great Inconvenience la now experienced In cabling from the outside causes, which affect the electrical current. The amplifier records variations In current only, nnd with It the cable may be used even If the electrlcul strength should vary from Its unit to Its hundredth part. ."The amplifier, lth its system of wire colls and magnets, trussed on spun glass threads one-thousandth uf an inch In size,' works the nie with one hundred-thousandth of an ampere us with a oue-lhoua-sndth-asnpere current. I lutre nt. by means of I lie ampllAf r, niesxage tn rough a reyiatanco coil ku strong u tu take two seconds la transmit lbs MU at the rate of thirty-two words a minute. The Atlantic cable resistance causes but a sec ond and a half or three-quarters' intermis sion, and the highest speed It has is from sixteen to seventeen words a minute. There the amplifier will save time, which, of course, means money. I have Invented the way to cheapen all electrical message tolls, but the cheapening does not He with me, however. "The amplifier prsetlcally annihilates terrestrial space. It does this by Joining together any aystem of telegraphy or cabling so that a continuous message may be sent completely sround ths earth with out repeutlng or Interruption. This Is possible even though wireless systems and land lines and ocean cables be all Joined together. With a bit of perfeoting I don't doubt I could combine It to Include telephone systems as well. "I believe it to be perfectly possible that by the use of an Improved amplifier one would be able to talk over the tele phone around the world. All this would necessitate the use of an amplifier at every station which murks the present limit of telegraphing or telephoning, by whatever way. without repeating. "When the current gets so weak from long travel that one could not reud the telegraphic clicks by sound or heur a hu man voice, the amplifier will pick out the variations ln tone and automatically re transmit them through new battery powers with renewed vigor without human aid. If it be poHSlble to send photographs by telegraphy from Philadelphia to New York the amplifier will permit It from New York around the world. The same with seeing by telephone. If that Is ever pos sible for a short distance the amplifier will make It perfect throughout the earth. The amplifier Is simply a mechanlcul uilerorcnpe. It reads and records all vari ation in Intensity, and, though the cur rant be so attenuated that we ran discover the xlgnals 'to other way, the amplifier will use Its thouxand tlrru-s power and record It. Hy means of it I can receive cable or wircle's mrmagra on paper tar.
