eastern papers. In the east, however, elec.
trtclty la regarded rr the power which can
be applied succesofully to the drawtnn of
trstn now handled by Rteam locomotives.
Changes of power now planned Sr. many
and extensive.
The New York Central railroad ! eqiilp-Ing-
Its main line with an electric Rytem
to run trains from the Orand Central Bu
tton In New Tork up Into the Rtate as far
s Albany. At a recent meeting of the
director It wni decided to Issue $150,000 000
additional stock to be used In extending
their lines In New Tork by electric roada.
The Pennsylvania rnllroad has for some
time operated electric train on Its I-ion
Island division and this work la now being;
constantly extended. .The same company
recently made another contract for the
electrical equipment of It line from Phil
adelphia to Atlantic City. These lines, as
Is well known, hare heretofore been oper
ated by some of the finest trains that
ever rsn on thl continent and at a speed
not exceeded anywhere. In the face of
this the company Is now ewrep-ed In the
abandonment of the eteam system and Is
substituting electricity.
The New Tork, New Haven & Hartford
recently contracted for thirty electric loco
motives to be Installed on their line be
tween New Tork and Stamford, Conn.
They have already berutKlo equip some of
their main tracks electrically. The power
hO'iRe, where the electric current Is to be
iranerated. Is well tinder way and before
long electric express trains will run on a
regular dally schedule.
The Erie railroad Is the next road which
will Introduce electricity on part of Its
main line and once the start has been
made the Gould roads will naturally fall
Into line.
The Orand Trunk has recently contracted
for electric power to operate Its lines under
the St. Clair river between Detroit and
Windsor because It had demonstrated to its
own satisfaction that It would be cheaper
than steam.
The Illinois Central In making similar
preparations for the Introduction of elec
tricity; Indeed, there la not a steam rail
road man In the country who would hneva
pooh-poohed the Idea five years ago that
will not tell yon now that the electric rail
way era has dawned and that the electric
locomotive Is the coming propelling agent
for railroad trains.
"Apart from the wonderful effects which
this change will produce upon the future
method ot railroad transportation," com
ments the New Tork Times, "the Immedi
ate results are worthy of consideration.
There are the large amounts of money that
will be spent to effect this change. At a
conservative estimate there are now about
1600,000,000 appropriated by th various rail
road companies throughout this country to
be used In the purchase of electrical ma
chinery. This, of Course, means an activ
ity In the electrical business not equaled
by any period of that Industry and It will
again emphasises a fact which has long
been patent to the men at the head of tho
electrical manufacturing companies, and
. that Is that the electrical Industry of Amer
ica leads the world."
Telephoning Made Easy
The telephone In ordinary use today Is
the same as the telephone of a quarter of
a century ago, at least so far as Its out
ward appearances go and Its result on
short distance transmission. Now a New
Yorker, B. P. Levenburg, has Invented an
Instrument of an entirely new design and
that does away wltn some of the Ineon
venlonees of the present telephone. Th
transmitter and receiver are combined In
a simple Instrument. The receiver Is pro
vided with a horn fixed In the proper po
sition for the ear when the mouth Is near
the transmitter opening. Thus the hands
are left free for taking notes or jotting
down memoranda.
This feature of the Instrument also does
away with the tiresome experience of hold
ing the receiver to the ear while waiting
for the delayed answer to a call, or dur
ing a long conversation.
In this new telephone the act of raising
the horn to a horizontal position connects
the Instrument with the line circuit.
This telephone lays claim also to some
Improvements In transmitting power. To
prevent vibration of any sort from affect
ing the receiver the shell which carries
ythe magnet and diaphragm la Inclosed In
a casting of soft rubber. And also the
horn, owing to Its form, concentrates the
sound wares and forces them In one direc
tion. It Ih not necessary to apply the ear
directly to the receiving horn. In calling
up a number one need merely remain In
the vicinity of the horn and after the con
nection has been made he may carry on
a conversation over the telephone without
holding bis head at any set position and
with his bands perfectly free to handle
papers or take down notes.
Electric High n ridge.
The highest railroad bridge. In the world
will be built across the top of the famous
Royal Gorge, near Canon City, Col. It
will be 2.800 feet above the hanging bridge
of the Denver A Rio Grande railroad, so
high In the air that the roaring In the air
of the Arkansas river below will not be
heard and the powerful stream below will
look like a thread of sliver running be
tween the frowning cliffs.
The structure will be erected In connec
tion with the plans of the citizens of San
Jose, Cal., to establish an Interurban sys
tem of electric railways tn Fremont county,
Canon City to Florence and the top of the
Royal Gorge. Construction will begin March
1 and It Is expected that the line to the top
of the Rbyal Gorge will be In operation
some time this summer. The cost of the
Interurban system wllli be $500,000 and ths
suspension bridge spanning the chasm
$100,000 additional. It Is six miles from
Canon City to the highest point the elec
tric line will reach, but a tortuous road
ten miles In length will be built for the
electric cars. .
