of Curious Readers.
MORE ABOUT THE CURVE PROBLEM.
A Protest Against the Alleged Inattention
of the Police.
NECESSITY FOR A NEW GRETNA GREEN
The Curve Problem Again.


10 the Editor of The Dispatch:
That the curve problem is a theme highly
interesting to engineers and mechanics is
verv true. We cannot see, however, that
Locomotive Engineer has thrown any
light on the subject. We are more in har-
mony with your Saturdays correspondent
A curve, we presume, to be q portion of a
circle, as commonly understood in railroad
lore And this must be the definition as
understood bv Locomotive Engineer. !"
Hence he uses the term, rounding a curve" !"
Now then, if the outer circle of a curve is
no longer than the inner circle OF the same
curve, then the same length OF rails will en-
circle the outer curve that Will be sufficient
for the inner curve. Suppose we test this
on a small scale. Take, for instance, a
wagon wheel, whose felloes are inches
deep and the wheel feet in diameter, and
we wish to encircle both the outer and inner
dimensions with an iron band. We discover
the luuer diameter is only ieet 6 inches
because of tie inches deducted for
the depth of the felIoes 1t seems
pretty clear to us. that if the same length of
rails will enciTcle the outside curve of a rail-
road that will be sufficient for the inside curve,
that the same length OF iron DanQ tnat VIII
suffice for a feet inches diameter will be
equally sufficient for the outer or 6 feet diam
eter And vet we find that figures do not bear
this out, inasmuch as the circumference of a
diameter of feet is Is feet los inches, while
the circumference of 4 diameter of feet
inches is only l. feet 3ss inches, ana we can see
no way by which We Can encircle distance of
Is feet lO16 inches by q band that will only be
sufficient to reach distance of IL feet lO8
inches.
Locomotive Engineer" may ask us how we
account for the fact that both wheels having
been securely keyed" on the same axle, the
outer wheel keeps pace with the inner wheel,
when we have tried to show that the outer
wheel travels the greater distance. Note that
we do not say faster. We can see but one solu-
fiOn of the problem. In rounding curve the
hange of the inner wheel presses securely to
the inner side of the inner rail, and drags or
causes the face of the outer wheel to Slip or
slide on the face of the outer rail. We suggest
this idea as a reasonable one, but we do not
offer II a mathematical demonstration. If.
however, Il is not true, we would be pleased to
learn the truth. BEN Galley.

Still Another EXPLANATION.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
None of your correspondents have yet pre-
cisely described that curve problem" but
while not a railroader, think 1 can. There
are more lineal feet in the outside than in the
inside rail, and as each wheel on one side of a
train is made last to an ankle which turns with
wheel on the opposite side. it is impossible for
the outside wheel to describe a greater number
of revolutions than the inside wheel; yet in
rounding curve, the former must travel a
greater distance than the latter. This is ac-
compiished by constructing the rim of each
wheels IN such manner that the inside OF the
rim is of a greater circumference than the out
side; and as the wheels have considerable
play between the rails on entering a curve
they slide sideways toward the outside rail.
Thus the outer wheel Is running on its inner
and larger edge and the inner wheel on its
outer or smaller edge. Thus the one wheel is
enabled to travel greater distance than the
other and without describing greater number
Of revolutions. S

They Must Stop When Ordered or Pay the
Consequences.
The police department has inaugurated
warfare against drivers of vehicles who dis
regard the orders of officers stationed at
street crossings to prevent pedestrians from
being run down. The officers have been
given orders to arrest all drivers who persist
in driving through crowds of people at the
different crossings.
The first arrest under the new rule was
made yesterday when Officer Young took
into custody Bernard Digelman, driver of a
Southside butcher wagon, at the corner Of
Fifth avenue and Smitbfield street. When
the officer ordered the man to stop, the latter
refused to do so and drove through the
crowd. 1t will cost him something this
morning for his carlessness.
