One member OF the Pennsylvania

Cars will dart to and from the big

Jeet It Is simply another stride HUI
man ingenuity is about TO take in util-
hing electricity, the most potent and
wonderful force that has yet been SUBJ
Jected to mans will. At the recent
convention of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, held at Cape May, the
largest and most important gathering
IN the history of the society, Professor
Oberlin Smith, OF Bridgeton, N. j., in
carefully prepared paper dealing
with the recent Improvements in
transportation, said the time was close
At hand when the journey from New
York to Philadelphia could be made in
one-fourth of the schedule time of the
fastest express train. This was not a
mere flight of the imagination, for he
proceeded to convince his audience,
men of the highest engineering skill
and attainments, that his statements
was easily within the bounds of posi-.
bility
Professor Smith has the reputation
IN the engineering profession of being
modest, conservative man, of sound
Judgment, and an authority on me-
chanics. He Is president of the Fer
racut Machine company, at Bridgeton.
N. j. Professor Smith has.given much
attention to the problems which re-
strict the speed of railway trains, and
has come to the conclusion that the
limit CT speed by the use of steam has
been almost reached.
Electricity however, presents force
which is restricted only by the ability
OF the engineer to utilize it. Thus,
quicker travel is problem which the
machinist and civil engineer rather
than the scientist must solve.
Il would like to clear up misappre-
tension that seems to exist in regard
to what l said of rapid transit at the
Cape May convention" said Professor
Smith, Wien asked to tell how space
could be annihilated at the rate Of
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1899-08-24

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-
bic problems in mechanics that would
prevent cars being run at three miles a
minute, but in going much beyond that
speed centrifugal force would have to
be reckoned with, and it is doubtful If
wheels could be made that would stand
the test.
Such 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 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 nor promoter OF
railway schemes, it remains for the or
ganizer and the capitalist to develop
the plans he has sketched for the beDe-
fit of the members of his protest. On.
A road such as Prof. Smith describes is
already planned to connect Philadel-
phia with Atlantic City. 1t will run in

keep the train from jumping the track.
But the feature OF the electric road
that will obviate tbs is a track which
will make deraiimeit impossible. With
such a track the highest attainable

cars should be tapring at the ends to

There would be no trains, but each car
would have its own motor and would be

The cars would be two or three
times the length Of the ordinary rail-

of steel upon the principle recognized
