IT GOES LIKE THE WIND.
WEEMS' ElEcTRo-AUTOMATic TRAN.
SIT RAILROAD Is A SUCCESS.

Its Trains Have Attained lsO Miles AN
Hour with the Greatest Ease. and Three
Miles n Minute or More Is Confidently
Expected.
The electro-automatic transit railroad is
success
The experiments lately conducted by David
G. Weems, the inventor, at Laurel, Md,
demonstrates that speed of 100 miles per
hour can easily be secured, and with improve
ments suggested it is expected to bring this
up to three miles a minute. Three facts
comprise the general philosophy and utility
of the thing: The motive power is electricity,
generated at stations designed to be 100 miles
or SO apart the cars run on a truck, which
may be either surface or elevated, according
20 convenience, and the design is to carry
letters, papers and small packages at great
speed.
As an illustration of the novel uses of this
system it is claimed that it will enable an in
stitution like the American Press Association
to supply news to papers in the interior in
stereotype plates more quickly and thor
oughly than the same papers could receive
the matter by telegraph and set it in type,
and at an enormous saving to publishers.
The motor car is IS feet long and 21d feet
square at each end. 1t is pointed in front,
the wedge or point being below the longitu-
dinal center, adjusting it to the air pressure,
thus keeping the car down to the track. To
reduce atmospheric friction to minimum all
wheels and electrical appliances are placed
within the walls of the cars. The road is to
be built on the surface of the ground, with
track of twenty-four inch gauge, and will
cost about 5000 per mile. In thickly settled
districts the road can be elevated, the varied
length of the uprights being a cheap mode of
covering irregularities in the surface of the

car, thus preventing any suction as the train
rushes ON its way. The motor may pull one
car or train of cars.
All trains will be controlled from a gen.
Grating station, where will be placed an cleo
trical generating plant. Electrical brakes are
to be used, and trains are started, stopped,
speed lessened and backed at will from the
station. Special appliances will inform the
operator in charge of the generating station
Of the exact location of the train from the
time it leaves or passes any given point until
it reaches its destination.
As a matter Of economy the electrical
force may be generated by any local water
power, if it be cheaper than steam, and by
the nature Of the force and method of gener-
ating it many trains may be dispatched in
rapid succession without extra expense The
company has secured 143 patents in the
United States and the principal countries of
the world, covering the vital details of this
novel system.
Many of the gentlemen connected with it
first had their interest aroused because they
were engaged in shipping information in
more complete form than by telegraph and
wanted it done much more quickly than by
ordinary railroads The vice president is
president of the American Press association,
to which the rapid transit of stereotype
plates has become Of the utmost Importance.
The officers of the company, which has its
headquarters at Baltimore, are DR.. Julian j.
Chisolm, president; o. j. Smith, of New
York, vice president; Alexander Brown,
treasurer; William NJ. Pegram, secretary;
David G. Weems, general manager.
The experimental line at Laurel, Nd, is a
circuit of exactly two miles. Over this route
there are twenty-nine changes of grade, some
of them very heavy even to the extent of 10S
feet to the mile. The generating plant there
contains all the electrical appliances necessary
to the attainment Of high speed by railroad
train. There is also special machinery for
experimentation, and the perfecting of all
mechanical and electrical inventions tending
to advance and improve the system. All
tests of speed have been made upon heavy
grades and curves combined, too great ever
to be required in the construction of a com
mercial line, therefore the experiments de-
monstrate the high rate of speed which will be
obtained upon lines built for business pur-
poses. At this experiment station two miles
per minute are made around heavy curve,
or the equivalent Of $50 miles an hour, or
three miles a minute, on a level track. Prior
to the Inauguration Of this system twenty
miles per hour was the fastest time ever made
by any kind of electrical railroad travel.
When the first experiments were made the
question of danger was an important one.
A pointed car going two or three miles a
minute along an electrical line would be
highly liable to hurt whomsoever it hit No,
not exactly hurt him-just annihilate him,
that's all. And if it should jump the track
on curve, it would go through an ordinary
house like hot bullet through an eggshell.
1t is now claimed that every objection of
this sort has been completely obviated, and

Professional Detectives.

Detectives are oftener over than un- derrated. The detective business is like any other calling, It requires applica- tion and constant push and energy It Is not so much keenness as bull dog te- nacity that goes far toward making the successful detective. The day has long since passed when detective is regarded as sort of supernatural being, with an all-seeing eye, from whom it is impossi- ble for the culprit to escape. The fact of the matter is, that the commission of crime, nowadays, rarely goes unpun lshed owing in great measure to the system employed in tracing criminals and the joint action of the authorities all over the country, or, one might say, the world. Crime generally leaves its stain somewhere, and give any faithful officer clew and he will, in the majority of cases, get his man. Where there is nothing to start on it is different. But the chief requisite is industry and untir- ing effort to succeed. Genius can be utilized, but hard work accomplishes most.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

We Are the Saints.

Among q multitude of sage utterances of the Bible, this one deserves constant attention: 'I say to every man that is among you, not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think" 1t is wonderful what a mighty agent self is, estimated by it's own standard. It is the hero of every exploit, the center of every event, the oracle of all opinions. It in- terprets tho purpose of the universe. We are reminded of the two resolutions the settlers in New England are said to solved, first, that God gave tho earth to tho saints. Resolved, secondly, that we are the saints;' and they kicked out the Indians.
 The chances are as hundred to one that you are not half as great nor nearly as important as you think you are. Then reduce yourself to your proper dimensions. Don't leave that for others to do.-Clergyman in St. Louis Republic.
