rllCIl FLIERS OF THE RAIL
Apeotaoaiar Speed Traini Profitable Mainly
as an advertising Medium.
SOME FACTS ABOUT THEIR OPERATION
r
i.l
s
DUtanera Traversed on the Rival
Hoads, the Mechanical Equipment
aad the Speed Bequlred from
Start to Finish.
The Introduction of elghteen-hour trains
between Chicago and New York provokes
discussion of the question, "Do speed trains
ray?" A number of railroad men Inter
viewed by the New York Evening Post give
a negative answer to the question. Till
gist of their argument is that speed trains
are comparable to the "ocean greyhounds'
of the transatlantic lines. The wear anil
tear on euulpment and on roadbeds an 1
nerveu; the coal consumption; the expenses
of extra crews and mlvertlNlng, and of the
maids, valets, stenopr.iphera, manicurists
and other impediments bo far to offset the
extra tare charged and create a deihlt.
Again, the slightest congestion along the
road, causing delay, brlnKS the train lut-;
Into the ultimate terminal and mcessl
tutes a refund of part of the extra fare
charged.
On the other hand, only the passenger
t raffle managers ran tell absolutely, and
they never do, if the great advertising at
tendant on the operation of one of these
spectacular flyers brings compensating,
business to Its general passenger service
or to Its freight service. The fact that
such trains are run at all may supply
the answer.
Conditions of Operation.
There are a great many very interesting
things told by the New York Times about
the running of tho Pennsylvania and New
York Central tilers, the record times they
are making and the conditions under which
they are operated things which have never
been told and which a public greedy to
hear about feats of speed and mechanical
efficiency la anxious to know. And while,
this Is not a race, of course, and neither
railroad would take any chances to get
to any common terminus a little before its
-Ivul. it 1 Interesting to compare the coa
litions under which each train la run.
Between New York and Chicago the
)Vuu) lvanla, baa rather the better of It
in dlstanoe, yet rather the worst of it In
LLa cbaxactar ot lis rout. Oj the Penn
sylvania system the distance Is 906 miles;
by the Central and Luke Shore about 905;
so that the Pennsylvania comes out ahead
in distance by soma sixty miles. But the
grades through the Alleghanies are a se
vere handicap. Also there is at present
twenty minutes to take oft tho eighteen
hours for ferry allowance between New
York and Jersey City. So conditions are
left about equal. If not in favor of the
Central.
The Pennsylvania divides lis run into
six sections, a frsh engine and crew tak
ing Its train through each. Making allow
ance for stops to change engines, the mile
age and actual running time In each sec
tion figure out about like this:

Total "o 1,074 minutes
That implies that the train has to main
tain for rather more than nM miles a
steady speed of about lifty-one miles an
hour. It means more than that, however.
A train, to be of any value at all, must
be on time. In any but the severest storms,
whether It rains and tho rails are slippery.
or the sun shlnej and all is favorable to
speeu conditions, It must turn up on the
minute at its destination.
Now. take the New York Central's run.
The road makes seven sections against the
Pennsylvania's six, changing engines be
tween sections like the other road. The
usual time allowance for a change of en
gines is three minutes not slow work by
any means. These are the only stops.
At Buffalo the route changes from the
New York Central to the Lake Shore tracks.
Altogether on the allied roads mileage and
running time come out something like this;

be carefully chosen. The train cannot be
too heavy, nor must It be too light. On
both the New York Central and the Penn
sylvania the train is of the most expensive,
specially built character.
The Pennsylvania uses six engines of
the Atlantic type, with huge driving and
of tremendous weight. The particular
feature la the construction of these en
gines is their enormous fire area. It
amounts to some 3,5U square fect. Each
engine carries about 22,400 pounds (ten and
ono-fourth tons) of Pittsburg coal, of
which the average consumption Is 22,000
pounds to a run the amount varying ac
cording to the weather and 6,500 gallons
of water. Fully equipped with coal and
water the engine weighs about ISO tons.
The train consists of a combination bag
gage and smoking car, a dining car, a
drawing room and stateroom sleeping car,
and an observation car. Exclusive of the
engine. Its weight is 477,000 pounds, or about
223 tons. In addition to the Pullman car
porters, cooks and waiters It carries a crew
of six men conductor, engineer, fireman,
basrgaije man, brakeman and flagman.
Tho New Y'ork Central's Twentieth Cen
tury Unified is hauled as far as Buffalo
by an Atlantic type of locomotive. Then
the special Lake 6hore make of engine,
the Prairie type, with eighty-inch driving
wheels, a heating surface of 3,362 square
feet, and a lurge coal and water capacity
takes up the duty. .
The Central's Atlantic typo of locomo
tive carries ten tons of coal, 6,(hf) gallons
of water, and weighs fully, equipped. 115
tons, or 2;i0,iK) pounds, which is rather less
than the Pennsylvania's type. On the
other hand, the train Itself la heavier. As
at present planned it will comprise a com
bination smoking and baggage car, a din
ing car, three sleepers and an observa
tion car. The total weight of this train Is
350 tons, which, while It seems heavy, Is
not to be compared with the weight of
most express trains, as, for Instance, the
Adirondack Express C50 tons of dead
weight. The Empire State Express weighs,
exclusive of the engine, only 242 tons.
Morklnar Bird In t'linreh.
A mocking bird flew Into a church in
Hagerstown, Md . on a recent Sunday
during services. It lit on the edge of the
Bible from which the preacher was reading.
He gently waved It off, and it flew down
to the edge of the pulpit and came back
and stood on the text. The reverend gen
tleman read, though, and the bird flew to
the top of the organ and sat awhile, and
then came back and perched right over tho
preacher until he was through his sermon.
It seenifd very attentive. When the organ
opened It Mew to that and enjoyed tho
music, and finally, after a comprehensive
flight over the congrcRutlon, turned to the
chandelier. There It was when the congre
gation went out. New Y'ork Tribune.

The Railroads And The People
A
SERIES of timely articles on the pending railroad problem, written by Edward
Rosewater, editor of The Bee, embodying the facta gathered and conclusions
reached in a third of a century's study of the question is now running in The Sun
day Bee. The topics treated are:
1. Railroad as Public Highways
2. Overcapitalization and Stock Watering;
3. Credit Mobiller Construction
4. Consolidation and Poctlng
5. Rebate and Discriminations
6. Railroad Domination, State and National
7. Railroad Legislation, State and National
8. Railroad Supervision or Government Ow nershlp
These articles are written in popular form to be readily understood by the or
dinary reader. They give a general survey of the railroad situation from the
standpoint of the people, pointing out abuses and suggesting rational remedies.
Every one who wants to be thoroughly informed on this uppermost of current
issues should read eath tine of thrse articles.
Last of Series in The Sunday Bee.
feted through the combined courtesy of an
experienced ship surgeon and a head
stewardess who has served one steamship
company for ten years.
Said the ship surgeon: "The average
American woman either allows herself to
run clown physically and nervously until
her physician orders her to sea us a last
report, or she wears herself out setting her
house to rights and preparing for the trip.
"In either case she Is In line condition for
an attack of seasickness. Add to this a
prevailing notion that the ocean traveler
should take strong purgatives Just before
sailing, and you have your digestive appa
ratus In Just the right condition to invite
mal de mer.
"If your physician recognizes that your
liver Is not acting properly, take it In hand
at least a month before you sail. Clear out
the system thoroughly, and then tone It up
before the sailing date; and above all things
do not starve yourself either Just before
sailing or on the boat. If there is nausea,
the experience will be less trying if the
stomach has something to throw off than
If there Is only violent retching with no re
sults. People have been known to dlo of
heart failure under these conditions.
"A woman who Is looking for rest should
never take an express steamer or one of
the fast liners. The throbbing ot the pow
erful enginio sometimes gets on the perves
and prevents the very rest which the pa
tient needs. On tho slow-going steamers
this throbbing Is not noticed and there Is
less probability of seasickness, because the
slow boats carry freight In such quantities
that they are weighted down and do not
roll and toss like the fast stz-amers, where
all space is sacrificed to engines and little
or no cargo is curried.
"The mostdesirnble staterooms are a mid
ship, and the experienced traveler always
selects an outside room, near the center of
the boat. The traveler who selects a state
room forward or near the bow will feel the
plunge and the rise and fall of the boat.
She who taVs a room aft or In the stern
will notice the throbbing of the engines.
"In many of the new passenger boats It
Is possible to secure, at a reasonable figure,
a small stateroom with a single berth,
whidi Is preferable to a larger stateroom
shared with another traveler."
Here are some hints from the stewardess:
"Take as little baggage as possible. A
smart traveling suit to wear when you
board anJ leave tho boat, s shirt waist suit
of cloth, with a storm coat or golf cupe for
wear on the deck, and one good dinner
dress if you Intend to array yourself in
honor of the captain on the night of his
dinner, la quite sufflclent In the way ot
gowns.
"It U from lack of little things that the
Inexperienced traveler suffers. 6Le should
have plenty of nightdresses, flannel if she
Is going on the northern route, linen or cot
ton for the southern route, with a lounging
robe of dark color which can be slipped on
enslly for the trips to the bath room. Incl
entally the baths suppll-d at sea are drawn
directly from the ocean and no woman
fthould remain In the water more than a
minute or so.
"Have plenty of veils, Sea nlr takes the
life out of veiling and vnlls are absolutely
essential to the traveler's comfort.
"If you do not carry the regulation pil
lows for your deck chair, have at least a
long narrow pillow, air cushion preferred,
which you can tuck under the small of your
bark. Murk your rug and steamer chair
with a white strip marked with your name
In lndellhlo ink.
"Experienced travelers are always recog
nized by ocean liner crews through their
simple, elegant dressing. They wear gowns
of subdued coloring, and for dinner these
are relieved by the sheerest of linen or col
lars and cuffs of real lace.
"Supply yourself well with notions, dress
shields, hairpins, safety pins, needles, all
threads, etc. These things cannot be bought
on the boat, and they are also high-priced
as rule on the continent.
"Take plenty of handkerchiefs and quan
tities of fresh linen for tho throat, such ns
collurs. Mocks, etc. In no way Is a trav
