UNLIKE A LOCOMOTIVE.

Under the momentum thus gathered
and on track on which there was not
The slightest suspicion of down grade, the
Car ran on for a couple of miles further,
most of the distance at an estimated speed
of sixty miles for an hour or better
A test was also made of load of 175
tons, equal to a train of seven cars, but
the ease of starting and the ready speed
attained showed that load three or four
times as great could have ieen easily
drawn.
Among those who took part in the test
were Vice President John M. Hall,
Director Brooker, General Electric Engi-
neer Heft and others.
AS quick handling of trains will be
essential it was necessary to make special
arrangements for receiving and despatch
ing at the terminals A run around"
switches were devised, so that on arriving
at the terminal the locomotive can be
detached from one end and quickly run
around the train to the other end.

Railroad Trains Make Eighty Miles
An Hour.
ELECTRIC MOTOR THE LOCOMO-
TIVE POWER OF THE FUTURE.
New Trains at a Test Made q Wonderful
Showing-The NY. N. H. and HI. Rail-
road May Adopt the New System.

Boston. June 22-The test of the electric
motor last night on the Nantasket branch
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad has been the talk of engi-
neers and railroad men today. Many do
not hesitate to say that the steam road is
doomed as result of the showing. The
speed attained is reported to have been
eighty miles an hour, and the engine was
not geared up to its limit
The motor started at nine o'clock, and
before running four lengths was going at
the rate of twenty miles per hour. The
troublesome curves in the first few rods
were gone over slowly, but upon reaching
the long tangent, just below Nantasket,
Colonel Heft began to sslet her out. "
There was none of the gradual increase
of speed characteristic Of the steam loco
motive, but with plunge almost as
though hurled from catapult, the car
began to fairly devour space. Faster and
faster it flew, everybody within holding
onto the nearest object affording means
of support and conjecturing whether the
car could be stopped before plunging into
the sea at the end Of the route.

The Recent DefaIcatiops

From the Baltimore Sun.
The number OF defaleations In banking
institutions that have occurred, or that
nave been discovered, recently ia different
sections OF the country has once more
directed attention to the apparent lack OF
proper safeguards against such offenses.
IN most of these recent cases the stealing
on the part of the cashier or other too
much trusted official had been going on
for years, and the directors and superior
officers of the institution seem to be as
ignorant OF the game that was being
played under their noses at II they had
been babies, Instead of business men.
II seems clear that there must be some
thing radically defective Ia business
methods under which 1t Is possible to use
the funds of bank year after year with
out detection. There must be some
blundering, some carelessness or some
gross failure Of duty where single bank
officer or two OF three officers combined
can coolly help themselves TO its money
for 80 long a time without discovery. In
most instances OF this character it would
probably be found that it has been the
business practice rather than the busi-
ness theory that has been at faulS. II
everybody had done his full duty, inves-
tigation would generally show that theas
crimes would have been Impossible.

become the real ruler OF bis country,

For unnnmbersd centuries Japan was
