Wasted Energy.

did you ever reflect" said the scientific
nuisance to victim sitting beside him as
they rode down town on the Third Avenue
Il" road, ION the immense amount of en-
ergy which is wasted annually by New
Workers IN going up and down the steps Of
these elevated stations?"
No" said the victim YEARLY, for he was
anxious to finish the stock report he was
reading. Il never did"

Il estimate that half million tickets are
sold daily, which means that these steps
are assembled and descended / 1000, 900 times

''Oh, yes. Oh, yes" answered the other,
not paying the slightest attention.
"Now, if we put the average height of
thesn stations at thirty feet and the weight
of the average passenger, counting in wom-

"Oh, have no objections" said the
other man. getting red in the face. Not
the slightest
And if we should add to this the num-
Der of foot pounds of energy which would
be obtained if all the noise produced by
these elevated trains were converted into
useful force instead of being wasted''-
Yes" interrupted the victim, and if
we should add TO that all the foot pounds
of energy which are wasted by good, long
suffering passengers who are fools enough
to listen TO such Internal nuisances as you
are instead of kicking you down these
steps you are talking about so much
But the scientific gentleman had started
