THE COMING MOTOR.
Gas Cheaper Than Electricity as a
Means of PrOpelling Street Cars.

WASHINGTON, April 1S-The coming
motor for the propulsion of street cars will
be gas, according to the report of United
States onsul-general Mason at Frankfort,
Germany. He shows that while the Ger
mans have not built nearly as much street
railway and cable and trolley road we
have they have investigated the subject of
an ideal motive power with their usual
thoroughness, and as the result of eX-
haustive experiments have determined that
the gas motor is the cheapest and best of
all means Of power propulsion. The trend
of the best expert opinion is in that direc-
ton. and this has come at a period when
electricity seemed to be the point of re-
placing and superceding all other forms
of motive power The report tells of the
great expense of the cable in construction,
the noise and danger of the trolley and of
the high operating cost and unreliability of
the underground electric system. and then
coming back to the gas motor. it describes
experiments that have been made with it
in Europe. Practical trials have been made
at Neufchate Switzerland, and Dresden,
and the results in both cases, while per-
haps not wholly conclusive, have been so
favorable as to be worthy of examination
The Neufchatel cars cost So $50 each, pass
One-hundred-foot currents run backward OF
forward, ana with ~ morse power traverse
any part OF the line, which is forty feet
higher at the midway point than at the
ends. at a speed of eleven miles an hour
Gas compressed to six atmOSDhereS is fur
nished by the city gas company at $109 per
1000 feet, and IL is found that under such
conditions the cost of gas for the round
trio-sx and a half mies--is 1913 cents, or
about l cent per passenger for n filled car
(twenty pasSengers) or half q cent for the
single run. This brings the net operating
expenses per passenger so far below the
cost of electricity. horse power, steam or
compressed air that although the expert
ment is still new, the problem is thought to
be solved in favor of gas for all similar
roads. Touching the cost of construction
the cOnsul-general quotes results at Dres-
den of experiments with electrical and gas
motors and horse cars as follows: For a
fVe-mile double track road. twenty cars,

\ bimetallic convention has recent
ly been in session in Berlin, and some
of the advocates OF international agree
ment hoped that something definite
would result. \ convention has Just
closed in London where the subject of
bimetallism was discussed. Both of
these conventions declare that inter-
national agreement on the subject of
money is i1npracticable. Herr Ludwig
of Berlin. who is considered eminent
authority on such subjects. says OF the
German himetallic convention that
after the twenty-cne days OF earnest
discussion no. only has no tangible re-
suit been arrived at, but that the meet
ings Of the commission have furnished
overwhelming proof that in the future
no conference whether national or in
ternatlonal will arrive at Il different
result
According to Herr Bamberger an
understanding upon bimetallism seems
to him impossible either between the
different states of Europe. including
England, or without England. He
saws that the difference of interest in
the different countries precludes any
satisfactory agreement.
