The Speed of a Train.

The Kansas City Times says: There
is not one person in 100 of the millions
who travel on railroads in the course of
year who has any idea of the speed of
train. A large per cent of even the
regular train men of the country cannot
tell with any degree of accuracy how
fast train is running. Frequently en-
gineers are dispatched on trip over a
line of railroad with instructions to run
at speed of certain number of miles
an hour. The engineers do not carry a
speed indicaror, but have learned by va
rious methods to gauge their engines so
as to make only the slightest variations
from their orders. The majority of en-
gineers use their driving wheel as
gauge. They know its circumference.
and by counting its revolutions within a
certain time they can tell very accu-
rately the speed at which they are run
ming. Another method is to time
the run between mile posts, and
still another is to make cal
culations from the number of telegraph
poles passed in a certain time. These
poles. in level country and where four
or five wires are used, are spaced so that
there are thirty to the mile. If only
single wire is used they are spaced from
twenty-five to twenty-eight to the mile.
IHo HOSG accurate netnOQ, ana the one
most in use by experienced railroad
men, is to count the number of rail
joints the train passes over in twenty
seconds. The rails, in nearly all cases.
are thirty feet in length and the number
passed over in twenty seconds is the
speed per hour the train is running.
For instance, if a passenger sitting in
a sleeper can count thirty clicks of the
wheels on rail joint in twenty seconds.
the train is running at the speed of
thirty miles an hour.
