In the Field of Electricity
Eleiclty Rall.
OWHKRE 1 electricity maing
Nl greater progress as a motive
I power than on the railroad
I mnvar.lm at New York CltV.
Preliminary to the Installation
of electric power In its tunnels
connecting New Jersey, Manhattan and
Long Island, the Pennsylvania railroad
company 1 conducting extensive experi
ments with eleclrlo and steam locomotives
In the vicinity of Frankllnvllle, N. J. The
best makes of both engines have been put
through the paces' on a long stretch of
track. On ona run with limited power the
tlectrto engine reached a apeed of eighty
billes an hour. The tests cover th effect
of high speed on th road, th fore of
the engine stroke and the possibility of
lectrlo current disenthraling the steel rail.
Results have rtot been announced.
The New York Central Is spending 865..
0OO.0UO on Its new terminal system In New
Tork. Part of this 1 alreudy being oper
ated by electricity. When th work 1
conr.pleted all train will b hauled by
electrlo power as far out a Croton thirty
five miles on the main line, and to North
White Plains, twenty-nine miles, on th
Itarlem division.
In thl service th railroad now ha
thlrty-flv loo-ton electrlo tocomHtives.
which are handling th through express
train to and from Yonker. where steam
locomotive atop, at speed varying from
forty to eighty mile an hour. Th com
pany Is getting 100 steel motor cars, each
eating sixty passengers,' to handle It
suburban travel.
Th New York. New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, which use the' Grand Cen
tral station, 1 nearly ready to operate
It Una by electrlo power out to Stam
ford, Conn., thirty-three miles. It la get
ting for thl service thirty seventy-two-ton
electrlo locomotive.
Plans have been prepared by the Erie
railroad for electrlo equipping about
Co mils of It line running out from
Hoboken. It 1 estimated that thl will
cost tl&,O00.0G0. Th company 1 now
quipping It line out to Greenwood Lake,
N. J., thlrty-flv miles, and also a thirty
four mil section In New York, between
Rochester and Avon.
.Th West Shore Is electrifying It line
between Uttca and Syracuse. N. Y., forty
four mile. The Southern Pacific baa ap
propriated $1,20,000 to convert from ateam
to eleclrlo operation twenty mile of sub
urban line out of Ban Francisco.
With th elevation of the track of th
Philadelphia and Reading railway shortly
to be undertaken In Philadelphia It la fully
believed that the company will Install an
electrlo system to operate all It suburban
line. At Washington there is now strong
pressure to compel the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to put in an
leotrlo system at the new Union Terminal.
Hotel lleate Br Csirreat.
The Eagle hotel, of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
is th first hotel In this country to be
heated by electricity. The first installation
was on October 17, 1907. when twenty-seven
room were equipped with luminous electrlo
radiators. Th other room In the hotel,
Including th office, parlor, cafe, and
barber shop, will be electrically heated with
the same type of radiator as soon as pos
sible. The electrlo heat will be controlled
from the office as well a th room and
It 1 predicted, after a careful teat, that
th new source of heat will mean a con
siderable saving to th proprietor. With
lectrlo heat only those rooms occupied
need be heated, and the warmth from the
luminous radiator Instantaneous. When
a guest want accommodations th clerk
assign htm a room and while he 1 wait
ing for th elevator, a turn of th switch
atarta the radiator and the room is soon
warmed. This economy of heat I the great
est feature of the electrlo Installation. The
principal advantage of electrlo heat will
be In th fall and spring, or on cold, damp
day during the summer. It will not be
necessary to keep a steam beating plant
running and guests can keep their room
at any desired temperature.

' Privy Councillor Wlttfeld. expert of the
Prussian Rallwry ministry, who recently
took a commission of expert to th United
States for the purpose of studying elect r leal
transportation problems, said In an inter
view, today;
"America's progress In electrical rapid
transit sine my previous visit there Is
astonishing amaxlng. Not only have the
roada for municipal rapid transit been
greatly Increased, developed and perfected,
but electricity Is applied more and mora
to standard gauge roads. It Interested ma
especially to see that the practical Ameri
cans are now using almost exclusively the
single phase alternating current. The con
tinuous current roads which predominated
on my previous visit are now droppplng
further and further Into the background.
"The American road are built excellently.
It I astonishing to see with whst simple
means the Americans get splendid results,
even where money Is lacking. We were
astonished at the gigantic development of
electrical roads In Indiana and th thinly
ettled states. Ilk Oregon."
Ilerr Wlttfeld further remarked thst the
visit of the German experts will have prac
tical 'results. Their observations In the
United States will be utilised In electrlfy
lngjhe Berlin and suburban roada. Work
on th plan for these Improvements baa
already begun, but will require several
years to finish.

Streaa-th f Ether Wave.
A correspondent of th electrical world,
Mr. Ernest F. Smith, makes an Interest
ing suggestion a to th possibilities of
wireless telegraphy. He think that if
Herts wave, when generated, should
possess sufficient intensity to be easily
recognizable at a distance slightly exceed
ing 8,000 miles "they would travel further
without trouble and gain, not lose, In
strength beyond that limit. In that case,
he adds, they would probably culminate
in a sort of "splash" directly opposite the
point from which -they started. Here is
offered not only a practical hint concerning
the power requirements of long range
service, but also a starting anomaly. There
Is said to be a chance that higher efficiency
might be realized 10,000 or 12,000 miles from
a sending station than 6,000 miles away I

Development la Telegraphy.
The telewriter Is an electrical Instrument
designed to transmit over a distance repro
ductions of handwriting, drawings, etc. At
the transmitter end a pencil is employed to
write the message on paper fed Into the
Instrument, and the movement made by the
pencil Is transformed Into semi-rotary mo
tions of two shafts. The movements of
these shafts control the current sent to the
line wires, and these currents In their turn
reproduce the seml-ortary motions of two
shafts at the receiver, which motions are
finally transformed Into a production of
th transmitting pencil movement For ex
terior service the Instrument are con
nected to th ordinary telephone line. In
the case of Interior Installation a third line
la employed for operating the pen-lighter
direct, this line being also utilised to op
erate the exchange tndtoator. The system
I stated to be in successful operation for
both Interior and exterior servloe la th
metropolis. No skill In operation is called
tor, and an Instrument of this type ap
pears to offer advantages of some Im
portance In the transmission of written In
structions by telephone.
BILLBOARDS AS NUISANCES
How California Cities Are Moving? Km

California report an Inspiring advance
In the campaign against offensive posters,
billboards, and advertising hoardings In th
Judicial decision that 'such objects are
nuisances, subject to abatement by the
police authorities under the common law.
It was argued that anything needlessly
offensive to the senses was a nuisance. A
soap factory or a pigsty would not be tol
erated In close proximity to residences, be
cause of the vile odors which would out
rage the sense of smell. A stone crusher
or a boiler factory would be similarly for.
bidden, because of the outrsge upon tho
sense of hearing. But the eyes are as
precious as the nose or ears, and tho sense
of sight, the most useful and valuable of
all the senses, Is as much entitled to the
protection against outrage as any other.
So it was contended, and it was decided by
the judge, that posters or billboards which
grossly offended the eye were for that rea
son nuisances and might be suppressed a
such.
That decision seems to be eminently
logical and reesonable. If upheld and gen
erally acted upon it will certainly prove
effective. Th enforcement of th common
law against public nuisances by th police
Power of a municipality 1 usually a sum
mary proceeding. There art. of course,
other grounds upon which billboards and
hoarding might properly be dealt with.
Som of those object are Inimical to good
morals. Some are obstruction to the high
way. . Some threaten danger from flr.
Som trespass upon light and air. Any of
thes grounds should be sufficient to Insure
the removal of the offending structure.
But much simpler and more speedy Is their
condemnation and demolition on th ground
that they are common nuisance. Th
township of South "New Brunswick, N.
J., which Is a city, has slain th billboard
monster, and their only weapon was th
old-fashioned cyth of taxation. Finding
that the not Inconsiderable beautle of th
countryside were blotted out by flaring
signboards, they have taxed th signs cut
of effctence, and now are enjoying th
charms of nature unalloyed by appeals to
use Somebody's pills or Red Nose rye.

Landlord Insist on Babies.
The sign of the stork will probably be
placed on the new apartment house erected
by Henry Plppa in Allegheny. These apart
ments are now ready to open. The price
will be within the reach of the poorer peo
ple of the city, and one requisite la that all
tenant must have children.
The hard and fast rule that obtains In
some eastern cities has been violated by
Mr. Plppa, who requires that all persons
renting of film must be the parent of at
least one child. But the larger the family
the better. Newly wed. led couples will have
to wait for some time before they will
be enrolled on Mr. Phlppa' rent rull. -Philadelphia
