They were walking about the Grand
Court Of Honor at the Worlds Fair,
gazing at the colossal female figure of
the Genius Of the Republic, when the

The speed of the electric locomotive
is said to be 100 miles per hour. The
storage locomotive, equal in power
and speed to the trolley engine, has
likewise been perfected, but it's cost S
SO much greater than that of even the
trolley locomotive that it's use at pres

experiments, however, point to da y
when economical improvements in the
electric locomotive will enable it to
supplant the steam railroad engine.
