Trains by TeIphcrnyp

Tclphcrage Is the name given In London
TO system of automatically transporting
goods by the agency of electricity as the
motive power, which system was the invcn-
tion Of the late Professor Fleming Jenliin
Dying In June last, however, the Professor
did not live to see his ingenious ideas car
ricd out on practical scale. But II has
been done since by Professor Perry, and a
line successfully opened and operated by
electricity A special train conveyed large
number of persons from Victoria Station TO
Glyndc. The line is double one, nearly a
mile in length, and is composed of two sets
OF steel rods, three-quarters of an inch In
diameter, supported on wooden posts of r.
shape, and about eighteen feet high. The
wires are supported one on either end of the
cross-piccc Of the 7, which is eight feet
long. The carriers or skips, as they are
technically termed, are iron trough-shapcd
buckets, each holding about two hundred
weight, and suspended from the line by a
light iron frame, at the upper end of which
is pair of grOoved wheels running on the
line of rods. A train is made up of ten of
these sips, which are in electrical connec-
ton with each other, and with an electrical
motor, which is placed in the middle of the
train, having five skips in front of and five
behind it, At point about midway of the
length of the line is the cngine-house in
which is u steam engine which drives the
dynamos. From these latter the current Is
led TO The line, and thus to the electrical
motor which moves the train. -[Pttsburg

siroyed to amount to the enormous aggrc.

This wlping out as It were, this utter cx-

enormous values Is attendant with very diff
fcreut effects from those that result from
what are known rs commercial losses. A
commercial loss to the owner, the manu-
iacturcr or the producer resulting from n
decline in prices OF manufactures or pro-
ducts Of the soil Is the guin of the consumer,
and Is mere transfer Of values from one
class Of the community to another But
property consumed 10y fire, like cargo
