Wiring Passengers on Moving Trains
Boston Herald. 80


You have probably seen IN the
newspapers from time to time some
rather vague illusions to new tele-
graphing scheme which is to enable
PERSONS who are stationary to com
municate with friends who are tray
cling on railway trains while they
are in motion. I had been regarding
! this scheme as rather ephemeral, and
even visionary until yesterday, when
an acquaintance of mine to whom it
was mentioned, broke out most en-
Enthusiastically concerning it, and he
finally induced me to go up town to
where the concern is in active opera
ton. The company which is under
taking to introduce this flying teIe-
gram has q numbsr of lines laid
down to illustra te the workings of
the machine, and nearly every day
some railroad magnate Or other per-
sonage OF influence in the community
is shown the result of these expert
ments.
The scheme is worked simply
enough. A wire is laid down along
the ground between the tracks on
which the cars run, and underneath
the floor of each vehicle, is a coil of
wire, which takes up the sound as it
comes along the ground. The coil
does not touch the other wire at all.
but picks up the sound through the
air, no matter at what speed the train
may be going. The value of the
scheme, according to the promoters,
| lies partly in the accommodation it
would be to railway passengers. and
partly in the chance it would give the
people iii control of railroads to avoid
accident. For instance, let us say a
railroad train runs off the track. In
an instant 8 message can be sent in
each direction the full length of the
road, conveying the Information and
preventing other trains from follow
ing on. Beyond -thls, it is claimed
that cables may be laid as far as 400
miles out to sea, and that any vessel
over them and supplied with this
machinery can communicate with
the shore To successfully accom-
plish this four or Eve cables would be
laid, seperate from each other at a
considerable distance ard duly locat-
ed in this chart. This would not only
give an opportunity to accurately
foretell the arrival of steamers. but
would enable passengers to communi-
cate with their friends on shore on
any important matter. The scheme
is In the hands of some heavy CAPT
taIists, and will undoubtedly be in
operation before long on each one of
the big railways running out OF New
York.
The same people have struck an
other novel idea, though whether it
will ever be of great material value
is still an unanswered question. By
it's use, if you sit in Boston and write
your name with a pen attached to
one end OF the wire, the other end of
which is in Worcester, your sigma
ture will be exactly reproduced at
which ever point may be desired.
There is no immediate means of de-
termining the utility of the invention.
which is yet entirely crude, but it is
proposed to give the use of it, for the
time being to some magician who
may mystify his auditor by the de-
vice.

 In South Carolina, for instance, the property owned by negroes is esti- mated as worth ten million dollars
 In Georgia negroes pay taxes on an assessment Of more than eight mii- lion dollars, and other states shos equally remarkable statistics. The figures gwen, however, Indicate that the improvement is iu the condition of the individual negroes rather than in the majority Of the eolored people.
