STEAM AND ELECTRICITY.
Comparison of Their Power in the
Moving of Railway Trains.

George H. Hardy of the engineering
corps of the New York, New Haven 4
Hartford Railroad Company, has re
Gently made the following comparison
between the operation of railways upon
a steam and an electric basis, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. The
Twenty eighth street station of the
United Electric Light and Power Com
pany of New York City takes up about
1000 square feet of ground each unit
of 10000 horsepower, which estimate
includes space occupied by boilers en-
gines and electric apparatus. This
ground area per unit is about the same
as that needed in housing the largest
types of locomotives. In an engine
house recently designed to accommo-
date the ground area per engine was
1850 square feet. In the electric light
station the consumption of fuel when
nearly all the machinery is running to
its utmost capacity is estimated to be
about 200 tons per day, or 1919 tons per
unit. If it is conceded that the econ
Omy of such a station using compound
engines is about twice that Of loco
motive burning and wasting the same
amount of coal, then each unit will
furnish as much power as a locomotive
burning 25 tons day.
Locomotives using three tons would
compare with the station unit as eight
% one, and the capacity of the station
T. ,In
to that Of 12S such locomotives. By
cans of a diagram showing the posi-
ton with respect to time of the 1874
passenger and freight trains on the
schedule of division Of certain rail-
way it was found that in no case were
there more than twenty-five trains on
the road at any ono time. Assuming
that each train requires 440 horse
power, somewhat more than tests show
TO be actually needed, the total will
be II 900 horsepower, about half the
capacity Of the electric station Hence,
it would seem that half the units or
the electric station would furnish SUI
ficient power TO operate such division
of standard steam railroad, leaving a
duplicate set of engines and dynamos
for emergencies. If the eight units
were located one every ten miles they
would provide for u trains daily on a
division of eighty miles long, half the
amount necessary to operate the train
by steam locomotives. This compari-
son is not complete, so far as finan-
cial showing is concerned, since no
account is taken of the great difference
in cost between locomotives and an
electric installation OF equal capacity.

LODGED IN A CEDAR.
Very Sunnge Incident OF a North AT
lantic Hurricane.

he rocks that bound the major part
OF Howard County and that find their
most prominent home in the bosoms of
the high hills that compose the fronts
piece OF Ellicott City hold within their
precincts the most interesting and
thrilling records OF the great storm.
On one Of the most prominent hills
that garrison the city is located a
graveyard, within whose shadows lie
the remains of those who gave the
name 10 the town-the EilicottS. In
its great sweep OF destruction from the
south the storm selected Howard
County in general and Ellicott City in
particular for display OF its power.
In the old Ellicott buryiug ground
for years there has stood a noble cedar
tree. 1t was the sentinel at the grave
OF tn late Nathaniel Ellicott.
AS though it had been an infant pine,
the wind in its fury lifted the big cedar
tree up from its resting place of many
years, and what had been the pride of
the old cemetery in a twinkling be-
came food for the debris pile. But the
mere uprooting of the old cedar tree
was not all that the wind did yester-
day morning. When the sightseers
were making their rounds they dis
covered something attached to the
roots Of the tree that was foreign to
the ordinary growth of the earth. 1t
was q coffin containing a human body
that the roots of the tree held in its
grasp.
\ close investigation revealed the
fact that the coffin which the old tree
roots held in their hands was that of
Nathaniel Ellicott. The roots of the
tree had the coffin just like the hand
of a skeleton would hold an object.
One root or finger had wendell it's way
through the coffin and made an open
ing. Another had slipped around the
coffin, forming perfect wreath around
1t In the uprooting of the cedar the
top of the coffin was broken off and
glance of the interior given. In it
were two rib-bones and one leg-bone
But for the old tombstone that defied
the power of the storm, it would have
been difficult to tell who had been the
occupant of the upturned coffin.
But in letters plain were these
words: "To the memory of Nathaniel
Ellicott, who died January is, 1871, in
the seventy-eighth year of his age. Son
of Andrew and Elizabeth Ellicott."
