MILLIONS IN SIGHT FOR CHANGE Details Trojert of Great Import- icr-Fail Motor TralaePros ress la Other - Depart saeats of the Seleace. There U something doing don eaat which motive. It la announced with great posi tlvenen by the New York Tribune that William C. Whitney and bis associates haTe obtained control of the- Stanley Elec tric ManufacturiDg company at Plttsfleld, Mail., for the purpose ot building up a mammoth electrical plant, with the co operation of Oanx Co. of Switzerland, and converting steam railroads tn thia country Into , electrical roads. The financial de tails of the plan, says the Tribune, have ot been disclosed, but a representative of the syndicate said they had been ar ranged and that Mr. Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, Thomas Dolan. William U Elkns and P. A. B. Wldener, who compose the syndi cate, were looking ahead to the work ef converting steam ralroads Into electrical railroads when they made the deal for the control of the plant at Plttsfleld and for an enormous extension ot its facilities. The syndicate does not expect that the displacement of steam by electricity on the railroads of America Is to be begun Im mediately or that It will affect many ot the railroads for some years to come. For the Immediate future the Increased plant at Plttsfleld Is to supply the demands of the street railways in New York, Phila delphia, northern New Jersey and in Con necticut for electrical supplies. These de mands have been increasing tremendously In recent years, while horse car and cable lines have been transformed Into electrical lines. It was said recently that the com panies controlling the lines had been fur nishing about 37 per cent of the bualness of the electrical companies in thla country. A Large Vndertaklng. The conversion of steam roads Into elec trical roads is expected to begin first along the Atlsnttc seaboard, particularly where the railway lines enter the big cities. The Pennsylvania railroad will have to haul trains by electricity through the tunnels that are to be constructed under the North river and under Manhattan laland and the East river. The New York Central Is ex pected to employ electrical locomotives for Its traffic in the Park avenue tunnel before long. Wherever there is a congestion of traffto on the steam roads in the east, it is believed, there will be a displacement of the puffing locomotive by the smokeless electrical engines. Having made a begin ning, the railways of the east are expected to extend the use of electricity along their lines, driving the steam locomotives to the railroads of the west, where they can be used until they are worn out. Mr. Whitney and his associates have not tieea making their plans in the dark. They have been in communication with railway managers and have learned that railways In the east are about ready to spend $25,000,000 for the displacement of steam by electricity That enormous sum would not be expended by the railroad companies unless there was reason to believe that the Investment would pay. The syndicate and the railway man agers have been Informed by their engineers that the superiority of electrical engines over steam locomotives has been proved. and that Oans ft Co. can furnish an eiec trlcal equipment that makes a aavlng ot 15 per eent In the operating expeasea ot si railroad. The electrical work of Oam ft Co. at Budapest, Hungary, are the. largest in all Europe. Engineers employed there have brought to perfection the science of apply lag electricity to motors. They constructed In Budapeat the first successful underground trolley lines. Their ideas have been adopted In the construction of electrlo roads alt over the world. The patents of Gans ft Co. for electrical motors cover many de Vices. The concern has been engaged In recent years In the work of converting steam railways in Europe Into electrical reads. Its most Important demonstration to the minds of some railway men was made on the Valtelllna line, alxty miles In length, running past Lake Como In Italy, This line was converted. Into an electrical road by Oam ft Co. eighteen montba ago. The operation of the railway for eighteen months Is aald by engineers to have proved that the electrical equipment saves IS per ceat of the operating expenses. Telepha Message Writer. A patent Just Issued to Peder Oluf Peder en of Copenhagen covers a method of using the lelegraphone In auch a way as to record a number of messsges on a single steel atrip and to reproduce each message with out interference from the others. With thla Improvement the size of the drum or the length of the wire or ribbon ussd snd as often as desired without the record deteriorating. In thla apparatus a steel wire, or a steel band, Is moved by any suitable means with considerable velocity between the poles ot a small electro-magnet. On speaking into telephone transmitter Joined on the cir cuit, the undulatory currents set up In the transmitter react upon the electro-magnet and cause a continuous variation In the direction and In the degree of magnetism at the poles of the electro-magnet. These variations are permanently recorded on the steel wire as It rushes by. and when the message is complete the steel wire retains a definite record of what has taken place in the shape of a continu ous series of transverse magnitlied lines varying throughout in their polarity and In their strength. On connecting a telephone receiver to the electro-magnet, and again starting the wire on Its course, says the Telegraph Age, this magnetized wire gen erates electric currents In the colls of the superimposed magnet as It passes between its poles, and these electric currents, which are the exact counterpart of those gen erated by the original voice, cause the tel ephone to repeat what was said In an al most absolutely perfect manner. Aerial Telegraph Receiver. Widespread Interest has been arousedi says the Scientific American, by the ex periments which have been carried on by Prof. Fessenden with a new form of aerial telegraphic receiver, which Is claimed to give promise of considerably greater ra pidity than the coherer with which the pub lic is generally familiar. The experiments have been carried out under the auspices of the weather bureau and have extended over a period of about two years. Some of the results achieved have been made pub lto by the bureau and they are considered to foreshsdow a great Improvement in the speed of aerial telegraphy. The work has been carried on between Hatteras Inlet and Roanoke island, over a distance of fifty miles, and messsges have been sent and received without the use of the coherer, the place of which Is taken by the new re celver, which Prof. Fessenden calls a wave- detector. He claims that he has workefl it experimentally at speeds which would be equal to over 600 words a minute, and this with only about 25 per cent Increase of energy per signal over that which Is used with the ordinary apparatus. We un derstand that the wave-detector consists of a wire whose conductivity is automat lcally Increased and diminished through a range which can be determined by the ad Justment ot the apparatus, and that the making and breaking of the circuit is so delicately adjusted that the higher speeds are easily realized. Barbed Wire Telephones. They are inaugurating a telephone ex change in Fort Benton, Mont., that will put the embryo telephoue companies entirely in the shade. Fort Benton's latest effort is a barbed wire telephone communication. Being by instinct and association cow people, they resented the genesis ot the barbed wire, and when It was discovered that It was one of tho evils that came with tho rail road and threw the cowpuncher, tho bull train and the river steamer out ot the game, they decided to take a material view of the situation, and the result Is that they are preparing to have a telephone exchange which will take in evory ranch from the Missouri river north to '.he Canadian line and south to the Highwood mountains. Among the duties of the operator at the toll station, which will be situated at Ben ton, will be calling the ranchers on tho various creek in the morning, notifying them when the-trains are twelve -or four teen hours late, and giving the sheepmen the latest report of the weather bureau, so that they may be ready during lambing time for the storms which are so destruc tive In that section. Ranches are strung all along the line from Benton up Shonkln creek to the moun tains, and with a short addition to the fences which run continuously, the line will be carried across the Highwood moun tains near old Jack Connolly's ranch at Eagle's Head to the thickly populated High wood district and to tne Judith Basin. When the line Is finished the ranchmen of northern Montana will .only have to sten to the 'phone to be in connection with every city in tho state. On emer gency cases he can call a physician, or a minister, as the case requires. The latter is of particular Importance In the Bear Paw and Little Rocky region, as some men down there have still the old-time habit of dying In their boots, and even telephone connection with a sky-pilot is a desirable modern convenience. When a bunch ot beet steers stampedes and goes through the barbed wire, central will know that the line la in need ot repair and that the beet steers of the Square outfit axe losing flesh by the pound. Fast Motor Trains. Swifter than the fastest locomotives, elec trlo cars will begin next month to speea between Chicago and Elgtn, Batavla and has available In Its vsrlous plants In that Ity not less than 40,000 horse-power. The new Commonwealth plant when completed 111 have a capacity of 100,000 horse power. Some Idea of Its magnitude Is con veyed by the ststement thst It will cover fourteen acres, that It will cost $6,000,000 nd that It will require five or six years to build It. The Installation of such a mammoth plant anticipates not only rapidly Increas ing demands for electric light, but great nd inevitable transformation In the atreet railway traction systems ot the city. To be prepared to supply every form of electrical energy, for lighting, for railway operation nd for all kinds of manufacturing Indus try indicates a purpose to centralize in one great plant the most modern devices that Inventive genius and engineering experi ence have supplied for Instituting needed economies In the work of producing electric power. tharatii mav tut mat flallv iMBl.n. ar that a long speech or a number of speeches or Aurora, reports the Chicago Inter Ocean signals , may be stared upon a compare lively short or small magnetic body.

They will run so fast that riding in them will be like facing a hurricane and the breesea which will sweep through their open windows forbode disaster for curls, frlszcs or any small articles that are not held tightly by their owners. It Is a ques tion whether a passenger with his face un protected will be able to sit at an open win dow of one of these cars at in the ordinary electrlo car. On the trains the newsboys, along with their line of fruit and antiquated literature will carry a stock of facs masks and their. first trip through the train will be to urge the women paaaengers to "rent a face mask and save your hair from being blown down. Like giant racing automobiles the trains will speed across the country, their occu pants peering through goggled face pro teeters and sheltering their heads beneath hoods and Tells. The speed which will be made by the elec trie trains Is not, so the officials ef ths com pany say, a wild ante-operation boast, Their stipulation with one of ths two larg t electrlo supply houses In the world Is that no car wllfbe accepted whose motors will not make at least seventy miles an bour over any part ot the road. The elec trlcal company was amsaed at the demand but now It confidently asserts that not car will leave Its shops that cannot make ninety miles an hour, and that by changing the gearing several of the trains will be able to make considerably over one hundred miles an hour, The trains will contain from two to six cars. The cars will be sixty feet long and seat that number ot passengers. The motors on each end of the cars will be 600 horse-power In strength and weigh sixteen tons each. The heavy motors will be wlthl eighteen Inches of the ground and bring the center of gravity so near the rails that there will be no danger of the cars Jumping the tracks en account of the rapid rate at which thsy run. Chicago's Big Plant. The projected slx-mllllon-dollar electrlo power plant of the Commonwealth com pany of Chicago emphasizes the rapid as cendency of electric power for the opera tlon of a wide range of mechanical Indus try and calls attention to the fact that Chicago Is fast becoming one of the great est centers of eleetrte power development U the world. The Edison company already fnrrent Xotes. Mexico Is taking readily to modern elec trical appliances. Already there are over nrty miles or elpc.trlc street railways in operation in the city conquered by Cortes and fifty miles more will be completed in another year. An electric flytrap should prove useful ss he season advances. One has been pat- nted recently and la o 'noeed principally of a screen of positive and negative wires and Is bated with sugar. The flies alight on tne wires and the result to them Is the a me as that to a man sitting in the elec trlo chair. It Is expected thst before Ions' the New York fire department will give a practical test to electrlo motor fire apparatus. The first test, it Is understood, will be applied to a hose cart and possibly also to a hook and ladder truck. If It la found to work atlsfactortly upon these lighter vehicles the same power will be tried on the en gines, which weigh in the neighborhood of Burns from Roentgen ravs. now recog nized as a real effect, have some curious features. Dr E. A. Cortman. rltina- npnrlv 2m cases, notes that the burns resemble sunburn, but they may extend much deeper, the body being transparent to these rays ths burns no not usually appear Im mediately, most often developing In about ten days, though sometimes delayed for months. Some persons are very susceptible, others are not affected in any way. Portable electric lamps are twin- Intro duced Into the German army and mounted patrols will be supplied with them, accord ing to the United Service Gazette. The ad vantages of such a lamp will be very pro nounced for field duty and especially dur ing inclement weatner. The medical corns will also find the lamps of great value both In searching the field for wounded and when operations have to be performed In inn nonpuai ienu Madison. Wis.. Is a university town and like most university towns It has a. campus upon wnirn grow nuge trees, in tnese trees squirrels have made their habitation, to the great aengnt or tne students ana towns people. For a long time the telephone serv ice of the town has been bad. No one knew why. Finally a curious official discovered tnat the squirrels hart nibbled oft the lnsu lation of the telephone cables, cut Into wires and wrought havoc In many other ways. Rather than exterminate the soulr- rels the telephone company determined to keep a force of linemen busy repairing the ravages. But the squirrels have eaten away the insulation faster than the linemen could supply it. TEXAS DROUGHT IS BROKEN Heavy Rains Fall from Dallas South to Gnlf and In Other Favrts of State. DALLAS, Tex., June 28. The long drought prevailing in Texas was quite generally re lleved today. Heavy rains are reported from Dallas south to the gulf and many sections north, east and west have received por tions of the downpour. The corn crop is said to be beyond redemption, but cotton 111 be saved. There was considerable alarm for the safety of Galveston through out the day, as a severe gale was reported raging there early this morning and tele graphic communication was entirely inter rupted during the day. It was later learned, however, that no damage had been sus tained and that the water waa but slightly above normal. At Houston a high wind prevailed and a heavy rain fell throughout the day. Trees were uprooted and car traffic was suspended In a portion of the city, but no serious damage was done. At Grand Saline the gale was very strong and the water broke over the river banks. No great damage is reported there. GALVESTON, Tex., June 28. The wind and rain storm which struck Galveston last night with Intensity lasted till late this afternoon. The wind held steady from the southeast and reached a velocity ot sixty miles an hour during one and two minute gusts during the early portion ot this morning. The tide was not dangerously high, being but two feet above normal, but the storm, which originated In the west gulf and passed inland with Its center 150 miles west of Galveston, made itself felt on the city. Tonight the wind Is blowing thirty miles an hour, but the Weather bureau states that It will veer to the weat by morning and produce clear weather for Saturday. The only damage reported in Galveston was the burning out of fifteen motor cars by the water getting Into the electrlo machinery. HOUSTON, Tex., June 28. It la said here tonight that a wind of tornado proportions developed near Rosenbery -today and blew a Southern Pacific freight train from the track, wrecking It and Injuring three or four men. The wires are down and there la no way of getting details. ANOTHER STEEL COMPANY Ramor to ESeet that Hew Pennsyl vania Concern Will Rival Great Combine. PHILADELPHIA. June 18. The North American tomorrow will say: Another great steel company has been formed to compete with the United States Steel cor poration. Several ot the highest salaried ateel experts ot the Pencoyd works, part of ths American Bridge company, have left that concern and cast their lot with the capitalist who is behind the new company, This man. one of those concerned declares, Is Perclval Roberts, Jr., formerly president of the American Bridge company, and for merly a member ot the board of directors and the executive committee ot the steel combine. The old plant of the Pottsville (Pa.) Iron and Steel works has been purchased and will be remodeled. The new concern, the Schuylkill Valley Iron and Steel works, will have one of the finest and largest establish menta in the country. The North American also prints a brlst Interview with Mr. Roberts, who denies the truth ot the publication. CONSIDER OIL FOR FUEL Rtvermen en Uwtr Mississippi May Use Beanmont Oil en ' Their Packets. ST. LOUIS, June 28. Rtvermen are eon- s'dertng the use ot oil tor fuel on the pack ets running out of St. Louis and express the belief it the movement, which baa been Inaugurated to bring Beaumont oil here from Port Arthur by water, proves sue eessful every vessel plying westsrn waters will be equipped with oil burner.
