RAILROAD NOTES,

Road Inspection Vice President
Mellen and His Official DutIes-The
Consolidated and the New England.
President CLARK and Vice President Hall
of the Consolidated road went over the
Shore Line division yes erday in President
Clark's private car on tour of inspection
of the eastern division of the road and
other railroad business.
President CLARK of the Consolidated road
yesterday under date of October IA, has
issued orders to take effect to day, stating
that @. 8. Mellen, second vice president,
with Office at New Haven, in addition to
the duties assigned him by general order
of June 20, 1898, will have the direct man
agement of the eompany's lines west of
New London, known as the New Haven
system. The general order referred to ap-
pointed Mr.. Nellen to the position of gen.
eral traffic manager of the entire road.
The additional duties assigned him are the
same as performed by ex-Vioe President
Tuttle, as general manager.
The Consolidated road officials, as stated
yesterday, take no stock in the reported
boom for the New England road, and
think there will be no extension built, as
Is talked OF. They doubt very much also
whether President Mcleod will be able to
raise the funds needed for the big job and
say tho proposed extension will cost a
heap more money than President McLsod
estimates.
A dispatch says: Ex-senator Thomas O.
Plat, who is one of the directors of the
New England, and who attended the meet
ing in Boston, eaid this morning: 'sIt is
true that We have not yet made any con-
tract with the Manhattan Railway COM
pany for the transfer of passengers, but
the matter Is In the hands OF Mr.. Mcleod
and is the subject of future negotiations.
I cannot say exactly where the terminal in
New York will be, but 1t will be located
above the Harlem and near the elevated
railway terminus"
It is generally believed that as soon as
the extension of New England ia under
way there will be no difficulty in bringing
the Manhattan company into the deal, so
far as securing transfer facilities is con-
oerned. The New England directors have
signed the contracts with Ryan & McDon-
aid of Baltimore. These contracts call for
the completion of the new road from
Brewster's to Leggett's Point in one year.

VALUABLE APPARATUS.

Yale Medical schools Latest Pur-
chase - Professor Graham Lusk
Brings an Interesting Machine for
Physiological ExPeriments-Inven
ed by Professor Volt OF Germany-Is
the Only One In This Country-OnIy
Dozen Others In the World.
Professor Graham Lusk, professor of
physiology In the Yale medical school,
spent the past summer vacation abroad in
search of q number Of new instruments for
the Yale medical school. Among other
valuable piecea of apparatus that Professor
Lusk brought with him is amachins called
1.-THE Smaller Respiration Apparatus.
This La one of the latest and most famous
inventions of Professor Volt of Germany,
who Is perhaps the best known man in this
branch of science In the world. The ma
chine referred to is the fret of Its kind
ever brought to this country, and the
thirteenth that has ever been constructed.
1t is delicate and interesting piece of
mechanism and is used to determine the
decomposition of the body by measuring
the amount of oxygen absorbed by the
body and the amount of oarbonic acid and
water given off.
In this way the decomposition of the
different foods of the body can be deter
mined and valuable and Interesting results
| thereby obtained. These experiments al
Yale will be carried on by placing animals,
that have been fed upon some particular
kind of food, in glass cases and keeping
| them there for twenty four hours and
measuring the cir as 1t is admitted to the
| cage, and as it escapes after having beer
| used by the animal. In cases of consump
ton this machine is of great value, as II
determines the foods that are most healthy
and least liable to seriously ipjure such
cases.
The machine which the Yale medica
l school possesses is pronounced by 1T
maker, Professor Volt, the best he has eve
produced. Russia and other foreign coun
tries have the machines, but this is tn
first one that has ever been brought to tn
United States. 1t cost 5000, aud Ia conse
