Prof. Smith is too conservative an
engineer to fix a definite maximum
speed for such an electric road as he
describes. There are no insurmounta-
Die problems in mechanics that would
prevent cars being run at three miles q
minute, but in going much beyond that
speed centrifugal force would have to
be reckoned with, and it is doubtful ii
wheels could be made that would stand
the test.
Such a road will be built, Prof. Smith
thinks, just as soon as capitalists can
be convinced that it is a physical posi-
bility and Is likely to be a financial
success. He has studied the engineer
ing problems involved and believes he
has solved them nearly all, but as he is
neither a protector a promoter of
railway schemes, it remains for the or
ganizer and the capitalist to develop
the plans he has sketched for the bene-
fit of the members Of his profession.
A road such as Prof. Smith describes is
already planned to connect Philadel-
phia with Atlantic City. 1t will run in
an air line from Gloucester City to the

The popular impression of the effect
Of cold on disease germs has been
made the excuse for gross carelessness
about cleanliness in domestic and pub
lie processes and places. A low tenn
perature has been considered a release
from sanitary precautions. With the
error, truth has had an unequal strug-
gle. An account Of experiments with
liquid air ought to open the eyes of
the sanitarily blind. The temperature
of liquid air is over three hundred de-
grees below zero, and the bacillus of
d~iphtheria and the bacillus Of typhoid
fever exposed to such freezing condi-
lions were neither killed nor checked
in growth. The specialist who made
the experiment declares that so far as
our present knowledge permits of it's
application, cold cannot be relied on as
a disinfectant.

The city of New York, now second
only to London in its volume of trade,
had but a slow growth for more than
a century and a half after it was set
tied by the Dutch. President Low Of
Columbia university cites a prediction
uttered more than $50 years ago, and
then regarded as rash, to the effect
that the port at the mouth of the Hud-
son might in time become the COM
mercial rival of Newport, R. l., which
had grown rich by the African slave
trade.

The constituencies land dealer seems
to have turned his attention to Alaska
farming properties. The Juneau Miner
calls attention to the fact that the pa
pers Of the central west are publishing
advertisements Of an Iowa man who
proposes to sell at So per acre "a soil
Of very deep, dark loan, will grow all
kinds of vegetables, grain, hay in album
dance; climate splendid; crop failure
unknown; adapted to the raising Of
cattle, sheep and hogs, dairy and poul-
try industries" This, the Miner says,
is nothing less than a fraud on the
public, and that it is criminal to hold
out inducements to 100 families that
they can find government land in
Alaska upon which there has been no
failure of crops" We hope the un-
wary will take note Of this caution.

A Reputable Engineer Has a Plan for TAX
ing Passengers from New York to
Philadelphia in Thirty Minutes.

New York to Philadelphia by rail in
half an hour! That mean a speed Of
two hundred miles an hour. Can it be
done with the motive power now in
commercial use? An eminent engineer
says it is possible, and will be accom-
plished just as soon as a few mechani-
cal difficulties are overcome. 1t is as
serted that passengers on this ideal
railway of the future will be whisked
from GStham to the Quaker City
quicker than it now takes them to go
ffJm the Battery to Harlem. There
viii be no noise, no smoke, no jolting.

three miles a minute. IT did not say
that rubber tired locomotives could be
to travel two or three times fast
er han their present speed. My ref
erence was to rubber tires on electric
cars. Electricity will undoubtedly be
the motive power used ON the railroad
Of the future"
Professor Smith thinks the first rail-
way on which electricity will take the
place of steam will be built between
New York and Philadelphia, because of
the comparatively short distance, the
great travel between the two cities and

Consular reports tell us that there is
an opportunity for American windmill
makers to ecu a market for their
product in Greece. According to these
reports the islands and mainland of
Greece possess innumerable small
farms, laid out in vineyards, vegetable
gardens and orange and lemon groves.
The soil is rich, but the important
question is that Of water, which, when
found, is near the surface and supplied
to the land by means of wells worked
by machinery with mule or horse-
power. Many of the land proprietors
nre well-to-do and could afford wind
mills. Greece is SO cut up by the sea
that there is hardly a day in the wear
without a breeze. A mill SO constructaS

vices other than the mere drawing Of

you figure it out. This is necessary to
keep the train from jumping the track.
But the feature of the electric road
that will obviate this is a track which
will make derailment impossible. With
such a track the highest attainable
speed will be devoid of danger. The
cars should be tapering at the ends to
minimize the resistance, and the
wheels might have rubber tires to
minimize noise and jar"

will be about one-half the distance be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
Single cars are to be run by electricity
at a speed of more than one hundred
miles an hour. The company has been
organized with &c. 900, 900 capital, and
some of the right of way has been Sc
cured. Passengers will be whisked
down to the seashore in one-half the
time it takes steam locomotives to ira
verse the distance.

The admission fees to a recent prize
fight in New York exceeded $S5, 900, the
largest amount ever received for any
single performance. This has been cited
as a startling commentary upon the
times. Bloody noses and cracked
crowns, however, are not the delight
of the vast majority of our people, O
are bounce and buster yet widely &C
cepted as the principal virtues of the
world.

the large profits to be derived from
such a road.
"Of course the road would have to be
elevated" he said, Ito do away with
grade crossings, and it would be an air
line, for curves would not permit OF
the high rate Of speed desired. 1t
would be a double or triple track road,
controlled by an automatic electric
block system. Electric power would be
transmitted through the rails, and

transmitting stations could be located
at intervals of twenty or thi ty miles.
Ihere would be no trains, but each car
would have its own motor and would be
run singly."
The cars would be two or three
times the length of the ordinary rail-
road passenger car, and would be built
OF steel upon the principle recognized
in bicycle construction-that of attain
ing lightness with strength. The
weight of passenger trains in proper
ton to the number of passengers car

FROM the Detroit Free Press
One soldier boy, whose reputation for
veracity has never been questioned tells
the following story of a hospital expert
ence during his stay in Cuba:
You see he said. 81 was lying on a
cot, with the chills running up and down
my back so fast you couldn't count them.
Well. l was begging to bet with myself
that I could have more chills in two sec
onds than any other man in the institu-
ton, when some fellows walked in and
stood next to my cot. / was feeling pretty
tough but turned over to hear what they
said.
What are you going to do?' asked an
officer in a gruff voice, as three men
walked past, with stretcher containing
dead bodies
g Going to bury these poor fellows on
the HILL answered one of the trio.
How many have you there? asked
the the officer.
1.-TWO answered the private.
What! What time is ito cried the

vate

A SUGGESTIVE AFFAIR.
Reflection of a Southern Newspaper on
Recent Lynching at Galena, Kan.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
A dispatch from Galena, Kan, re-
ports that mob shot Charles Williams
to death in the city Jail on Wednesday
for killing Laura Canatan two days be-
fore.
death are not reported, but it appears
to have been simply a case of homicide,
and the dispatch adds but few particu-
lars of the lynching of her slayer. The
mob was composed of about % masked
men," who went to the jail in daytime
and broke the door in. The first man
had an axe the second a rope, and the
third carried pistol. Williams was
locked in his cell, but the lock was
quickly broken and he was ordered to
come out" This he very naturally re-
fused to do. THE man who carried the
revolver then began shooting through
the bars. Four shots took effect, kill
ing Williams instantly" The mob then
dispersed quietly, and a "coroners jury
found that Williams came to his death
from the effects of pistol shots from
unknown persons" No arrests have
been made"
The proceedings, as will be noted
were all perfectly regular in character,
and there was only one feature of the
incident, indeed, to entitle it to special
considera ton. All the persons concern
ed in it-Williams, his victim, and the
mob-were negroes.
In view of this fact, the affair, OF
course, will not receive the kind and
and degree of attention which would
have been given to it if Williams or his
victim. or both, had been of the white
race; but it still suggests some inter
esting questions. One is: Would the
coroner's jury and the community have
dismissed the matter SO lightly if Will
liams had been a white man? mo ar

1t seems to us that these acs peril
nent questions ana Of general interest.
Negroes" as is very frequently ana
truly said of them. ARE very Initiative
in their disposition. They follow the
example of their white naehbors in
many things. Are they to be allowed
to follow the example of many of their
white neighbors. in the respect of
lynching men-of their own race, at
least-who have committed. or are
charged with committing. serious crime
or who are obnoxious to them for any
cause?
The conduct of the % men at Galenl,
and of others of their race at othr:
places. shows that some of them ale
disposed to adopt this view rs to
their privileges. What view are we to
take?
Are we to assume and insist that the
right of lynching, administering the
extreme penalty of lawless law, per-
tains to the superior and more civilized
race, only? That what is murder
when committed by a black ''mob' or
by party of black men is not muir
der, and not crime in any degree, but
a dispensaton of justice when CC:n-
mitted by a white mob" or a mere
handful of white men? That we eX-
pect more of self control-more If le-
spect for life and the forms Of istN-
more of the spirit of civiliza tonic be
exhibited by negroes than by their
white eXemplars? 1t is the simple
statement of a fact to say that white
men in the South have been for years,
and are still. setting the negroes among
us almost daily examples of lynching
for every degree Of offense, or for none.
and of every degree of cruelty. Are we
to permit our apt pupils to apply the
thousand Lessons we have taught them;
and if so. what is the end to be-for
them and US? The Kansas lynching
appears to raise the question fairly.
How is it to be answered?
