An underground trolley system, the
invention OF Malone Wheles OF Tennes.
see, is being tested on o ree-quarter
mile section In Washington. Briefly
described. the road is Laid with 40.
pound T rails, yoles of $50 pounds
each and 40-pound slot rails. The con.
duit. midway between the rails, is II
inches deep by II inches wide, and in.
side is a loose wire on insulated brack
cts. This wire is cut in 300 feet lens.hs
and carries current only when the ear
is moving over one particular section
The copper feeding cable is laid parable
to the trolley wire. Without going into
details, the car is fitted with two ort;ira
ry 20-horsepower motors, and y pair oi
trolley wheels passing through the slot
connects the motors with the trolley
cable.
In each a0O-foot section is an iror
switch box containing an electro mag
net, and as the cars enter o section {
storage battery of several cells on th'
car vitalizes the magnet and lifts an iros
armature and connects the trolley ant
the feed cables, and thus supplies powel
to the motors. while the main line cur
rent cuts out the local battery. On
reaching the next section the current i
again automatically switched on and i
also cut off from the rear section. Whel
the car stops, the current Is instantly re
leased from the trolley wire, and t,
same is the case when going down hill
The car can travel in either direction b.
turning o reversing switch. The cos
for single track Is said to be 30.000pc

Judge Shea recently told Boston
newspaper man whole lot Of interest
ing things about great people, and
among them narrated some recollections
nf Edgar Allan Poe, who was q friend Of
the judges father, John Augustus Shea,
himself q poet and literary lAan of no
mean caliber. The elder Shea was a
commissary clerk at West Point when
Poe was a cadet there, and the intimacy
then begun by the two poets continued
till Shea's death in 1S45. Judge Shea
considers it possible that association
with his father may have stimulated
Poe's poetic genius somewhat, as it was
while he was at West Point that the lat
ter began writing verses.
The judge hss in his possession a letter
to his father from Poe which is valu-
able literary treasure. 1t relates TO some
alterations In his famous poem, The
Raven" which had not then been pub
lished, but which Judge Shea says was
first printed in the February number OF
The American Review In 1916, under
the nom de plume Of Quarlee. The elder
Shea secured it's publication and was for
some sims supposed TO be It's author.
The letter IL written ON glazed paper
the penmanship Is clear and lsgible, and
the ink Is still unfadsd. Here it Is
Poe's punctuation and capitalization be

gates would be a blank page. A5 pro-
moters of profanity they have few equals
and no superlors.
The reason is easily made apparent
when it is stated that they are all draw
bridges of Various styles. and that after
the manner of their kind they are gen.
orally open when man comes along in
u hurry and wants TO cross the river.
The only occasion on which they are
certain to be closed and passable is when
the wayfarer has plenty of time to spare,
or when he has an irkso1ne engagement
to keep which an'open bridge would give
him an excuse for breaking. Then he
will be able TO walk across Just AS if
there were no draw. But if he wants to
get over the river to cash q check at the
bank>or money order at the postofflce
just before closing hour, or to catch a
train, or to meet his best girl in time for
the theater. why. that bridge viii hold
him up just as effectively as lone high
wayman does a western railroad train.
And such holdups are not provocative of
mild verbiage.
ChicagoaEs rather like it, if thSAxne VS.
papers are to be credited, though there
is strong suspicion In st. Louis and
New York that they only pretend To like
it for Worlds fair purposes. At any
rate, they make little splurge whenever
new bridge Is opened or a new kind Of
d bridge projected and point with
pride" To TWO or three unique affairs that
We're invented for their especial benefit,
One of them ia the ''jackknife" bridge, SO
called because the draw shuts up some
thing like pocketknife. Then there is
the rolling bridge, which forms when
closed three hinged srch, and each half
of which on opening rolls back ON a cir
cular segment and forms All impossible
barrier across the roadway. Most Of
the bridges. however, are of the old mid
stream pivotal swinging type. The
largest bridge in tho cisy is that at Jack
son street, which is 230 feet long.
The new "ift bridge" at South Hal
stead street il a novel application of the
elevator idea. The general plan OF rails
ing tits the same as that of an ordinary
elevator. At each end of the span, on
either side of the river, is high steel
tower. at the top of which are the pull.
leys over which the hosting cables pass
These towers are high enough to permit
the bridge to be raised 14O feet. AS the
bridge when closed is 15 feet above the
waters surface, this gives total clear
ance Of 155 feet, quite Sufficient to cleai
the taIlest masts. The structure is cal
culated to resist the pressure Of wind
blowing 100 miles an hour and is thu!
reckoned to be entirely safe, unless al
Chicago begins talking at once. Tn.
roadway will accommodate four lines o.
teams and has two sidewalks about Z,
feet wide. The bridge can be raised tt
its fun height in so seconds, but the onl,
people who know how long it takes Il
get it down again are those who want +.
cross it in a hurry.
Chicago bridges are necessary nui
sances perhaps, but something ought t,
be done to make the city somewhat les
dependent on them. The three tunnel
under the river suggest way of doin,
this. There ought to be more Of them.

Worlds fair visitors had many oppor-
tunities to learn something new about
bridges in Chicago. Those who had
scientific interest in bridges could
study them to their hearts content in
the very interesting and exhaustive dis
play in the civil engineering department
OF the Liberal Arts building. Those of
them who had no other interest in
bridges than knowing when they were
safe to cross were yet compelled to learn
considerable about them from the nu-
merous and varied examples with which
Chicago has so literally spanned the
muddy waters of her sluggish river.
Whether or not in erecting these
bridges Chicago had an eye single to the
convenience of her citizens the vera
cious chronicler is unable to state. But
il she had supplementary idea of en-
riching the already copious vocabulary
of international expletives common can
dor compels the admission that she has
been erninently successful. There are
53 bridges situated at the more impor-
tant street crossings, and it is safe to
wager that each and every one of them
