character possessed by water. 1t is an elastic
fluid encompassing the earth as a vast ocean
with tides and streams. In storm it is lashea-
into high pillows, sometimes sweeping from
the surface of the earth the most substantial
works of man. 1t is the medium through
which train of cars must travel. 1t may. be
necessary to call attention to the fact that at
Inospherio resistance is the same when a disk
or surface is forced through the air at a given
velocity as If that same disk was stationary
and withstood moving air at an equal velocity.
In other words, train moving 60 miles per
hour in perfectly still air has to overcome the
force OF 60-mile gale. Did YOU ever face q 81
mile gale? Did you ever stand on the top Ola
passenger train making mile a minute? Like
q mighty giant the invisible forces Of the air
beat against you, or rather you are thrust
against them. There are no spiteful gusts OF
short duration, but rather a steady, unceasing,
obstructive pressure. What remarkable sight
it would be If the air currents formed by the
moving train could be made visiblei What q
whirling, seething. boiling mass of air is dashed
into fury by the innumerable opposing sur
faces, projections and angles which make up
the modern passenger train! Place such 8
construction under water and propel it at 8
velocity of even 10 miles an hour and observe
the waste of motive power. Yet the pressure
of tbs air at 90 miles an hour is nearly equal to
that of water at 10 miles an hour.
In startling contrast to the blindness dis
played by railroad economists" arc the wisdom
and engineering skill exhibited by the builders
OF steamships. The naval architect has been
studying the lines along the hull of his boat,
seeking to discover how pound of resistance
can he saved by changing its contour the frac-
ton of an inch. Had he followed the policy OF
the railroad engineer he would have con-
afructed a boat with fat, square bows like a
,coy and made frequent lamentations along
the sides, ending with. . square stern. Below
The water line he would have thrown out all
Dossfble Instructions and then called On build
ers OF marine engines to produce powerful
znctfsia machines to reach speed of IS knots

harrison may seem grotesque, but is is not IN

WILLIAM WINTER.

which he read at the dedication of the
actors monument to Edgar Allan Poe
some years since OF that strange, sad
soul he says:
He was the voice of beauty and of woe,
Passion and mystery and the dread unknown;
Pure as the mountains of perpetual snow,
Cold as the icy winds that round them moan,
Dark as the caves wherein earth's thunders
groan,
Wild as the tempests of the upper sky,
Sweet as the faint, faroff celestial tone
OF angel whispers, huttering from on high, -
And tender as loves tear when youth and
beauty die.
His music dies not-nor can ever die
Blown around the world by every wandering
wind;
The comet, lessening in the midnight sky,
Still leaves its trail of glory far behind.
Death cannot Quench the luster of tho mind.
Nor hush the seEaph songs that Beauty sings.
Still in the poets soul must nature find
Her voice for every secret that she brings
To all that dwell beneath the hrooding of her
wings.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, 1.-the
banker poet, is about three years the
elder of William Winter and is q native
Of Connecticut, having been born. at
Hartford in 1888. He also has contrib
uted to The Tribune and has established
ing metricaI tributes read at public
meetings in honor OF the distinguished
dead.
During the civil strife he was war
correspondent, but late in the sixties en-
tered on a financial career, and, save fo1
one unfortunate affair for which he was
not directly responsible, has achieved
success as broker and banker. However.
the "breadwinning business" has not
dimmed or interfered with his artistic
sympathies or poetical zeal, and he is
still one of what might be called the
troubadours of the lend of the age"
Yet it is poem that he wrote more
than 30 years ago that I admire more
than all the excellent productions of his
mellow prime. 1t was printed by Har.
per's Magazine. and is entitled THE
Old Love and the New" Here are /;
few of the stanzas: --
Once more on the fallow hillside, of old, I liz
at rest
For an hour while the sunshine trcmble:
through the walnut tree to the west
Shakes on the rocks and fragrant ferns, and
the berry bushes around,
And watch, as of old, the cattle Craze in The
lower pasture ground o.
Here It was thai loved hcr as only a stripping
can,
Who dotes on girl that others knew no mate
for the future r-a!l.
It was well perhaps tat ~ las; nay eide ane
honor oUtgre1 her art
That there came an hour when froin broker
chains fed, with n broken hca"t.
Rock and forest and meadow, land cape per
feet and true!
Oh, if ourselves were tender and al tliciiar%c
full as you.
I should not now be dre2 nii:: t ss.- i yea:

Nor bidding Old love lsoodl;y foreygr and ie'

Of the % or more windows Is recessed IN the side
Of the car from two to three inches. Many cars
have their sides Ornamented with panels, the
holdings on which project fully three-quarters
of an inch. Designers of yachts discarded the
panel system below water line many years ago.
Critically observe the conduct of passenger
train from the time it pulls out Of station I'M
til 1t attains a maximum speed. The engineer
receives the signal to go ahead. He opens the
throttle The locomotive has brief struggle
In overcoming the trains inertia. With barely
another effort the speed is increased to 10
miles an hour. At this point the engineer may
pull the throttle back notch, but it is easy
work up to 20 miles an hour. Then it Is that
some powerful retarding influence begins to be
felt. What Is it? Assuming that the run is be-
ing made on a straight and level track, there
are but three forms of resistance worthy Of
consideration-wheel. axle and atmospheric
friction.
There is nothing to prove that the friction Of
either wheel or axle increases with speed. But
at 20 miles an hour something is drawing on
the capacity of the locomotive. At 30 miles
this something" becomes more marked, at
20 miles the stoker is a busy man, and at 60
miles an hour the ponderous locomotive has
exhausted every pound of its power in over
coming the resistance of this mysterious 'tsome-
thing" A hurricane is seemingly sweeping
past the train, Juggling with giants strength
against every projecting surface. The train is
held as in a wise. The slightest additional In
crease in speed is made at the cost of prodigious
ing with the square of the velocity. This is the
solution Of the problem.
The changes in construction suggested
by Mr.. Adams, while radical, involve no
revolution in existing methods. He
claims that modern passenger cars can
be remodeled so as to avoid atmospheric
resistance at comparatively small Elk
pense. He proposes to construct the
locomotive with wedge shaped front,
designed to cleave the atmosphere. All
square fronts are Systematically avoided.
The rear end of the tenderis constructed
with a platform and in every way con-
forms to the contour of the cars which
make up the train.
The tender is connected with the first
car by vestibule which extends entirely
around the space between them, and
which when thrown into position so con-
meets the two that the lines are unbroken
from the roof to false bottom which
clears the rails by a few inches. This
false bottom extends beneath the car its
entire length and is supported from the
