FIRST RED BANANAS IN YEARS.
Eagerly Bid In BY Dealers at About
10 Cents Apiece.
New York Tribune.)


Importers of foreign fruit and fruit
dealers were interested yesterday in the
arrival of a small consignment of red
bananas The consignment was linn
tied to a few punches, but it has been
such long time since local fruit deal
ers have seen any of this fruit that
many Of them went down to the
steamer and We'd with one another to
get a bunch or two. It was first re-
ported that the red bananas came from
Cuba, as it was supposed that they
could only be grown there, but it was
afterward learned that they were
part of the first cargo of fruit shipped
from the new plantations in San Do
mingo. This fact was of additional in
terest, because it was said to be proof
that new and productive fruit district
had been opened, and that its influence
on the banana market would be mark
ed in the near future Much had been
said about this new banana country,
but comparatively little was known of
its resources.
1t was not until General WeTler is
sued his edict against the shipment of
bananas from Cuba that the planters
of that island began to look about them
for a new place in. which to cultivate
fruit. One of the planters who SUI
fered loss by the revolution and the
war in Cuba. was II. Dumois of Al South
street, this city. About two years ago
Mr.. Dumois decided that San Domingo
would be a good place for him, so he

to be remarkably successful. 1t crosses

enters and leaves its deoots by means
of what are probably the most curious
switch arrangements in the world, ana
Il gives its passengers new Sensa-
tion-a sensation of q speed Of pro-
pulsion hitherto unattained in any con-
trivance invented by man for the
transportation of passengers. Indeed,
it is said that the curious lengthWise
arrangements of the seats within the
cars are TO prevent the full effect OF
the appearance of swiftness on the
passengers. Mr.. Behr says that Il man
who sits and looks straight out of a
car window. instead of looking ahead
as he would if he sat with one Shout
der to the window, as in American
cars, does not get such an alarming
impression of terrific speed.
MIR. Behr has been quietly operating
the trains on this new line in Belgium
for some time past, and he has put 1t
TO the severest and most eXactinS
tests. such as operating the trains un-
der a speed of $50 miles an hour around
sharp curves, and of dropping them
down steep grades without any diminu-
lion of velocity. The Tervuerne road Is
three miles long, built in the shape of
two straight sides Joined by curved
ends, the curves having radius of 1900
feet. The track proper is a stout trestle
laid upon ground sleepers. Upon top
the trestle there is the bearing
rail, and at either side of it, lower
down, j guide rail-

That is not so very wonderful. but
you cannot say so much. of the car
itself. 1t is a sort of double-decker.
about sixty feet long, and dual length
wise as we'll as vertically, throughout
its lower half. This double lower por-
ton houses the main wheels, the guide
wheels and the electric motors, which
receive their power from Il conductor
laid along the track. There are four
of these motors, weighing three tons
each. They are attached to four of the
eight carriage wheels. With 600 revo-
buttons per minute. each motor develops
150 horse power. That gives a speed of
100 miles an hour, which can easily be
doubled.
Beside the eight carriage wheels there
are thirty-two guioe wheels, which run
upon the guide rails and preserve the
equilibrium. Thus, even at three miles
a minute there is no possibility of de-
railment.
The upper half. the car proper, seats
100 passengers, and has beside COM
partments for the electrician and con-
ductcr In the electricians cabin there
are two air brakes, one for Stacking
speed. the other for actually stopping
the train.
Electricity comes from . power house
in the Tervueren park, which has a
capacity of about goo horse power The
dynamos have a working strength of
$50 volts. Electricity is fed 10 the line

for a Sundays outing, leaving Satur-
day night and coming back on Monday
morning, and, according to MIR. Behr,
this could be accomplished with even
greater safety than that attained in
the swift-running double-track trains
of today.
COST OF SINGLE-RAIL LINES.
The question of cost, of outlay and
possible returns, is, of course, crucial.
Mr.. Behr is franlness itself there. He
sets down, categorically, estimates OF
fit cost at from $4,000 to 100000 the
mile, but asserts that the operating eX-
penses are so moderate that the single
rail lines can carry passengers at a less
rate than is now charged upon fast
trains and still pay dividends upon
their capital He says, too, that he sees
no likelihood of interfering with freight
traffic. nor even of monopolizing the
passenger business. What he advises
is the construction of single-rail sys-
TENS along some of the great trunk
lines, possibly in connection with them,
so that impatient travellers, or timld
ones. or those under stress of business,
may be whisked away as if by magic,
leaving the Pullmans and vestibule
trains to those who have luck and leis-
ure-
The genesis of this Ternisee line is
most interesting. 1t is as much an eVo-
luton as il may work a revolution.
Various and sundry other .single-rail
lines have existed in various and sun
dry parts of the world. Some ran by
mule power. some by steam power. The
TerVueren line is, however, the first to
run by harnessed lightning. Its imme-
date prototype is the single-rall trestle
line running from ListoWel to Bally-
brennan, in Ireland, which is in itself
somewhat notable. It's length is nine
miles and a half, it has run for eleven
years-odd, without having car wheel
once leave the track or q passenger or
employee make d claim against it for
damages. This. though it is operated
by steam and runs twenty miles an
hour-not an astounding rate of speed,
but a very efficient one, under the cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Behr built it, as later he built the
Belgian experimental line. The Listo
wei model was a line put up by
French engineer out in Algeria. At
first he built a double-track line out on
the ground, but the sandstorms cover
ed up his tracks faster than he could
uncover them. so he had recourse to
trestle construction, along which cars
were drawn by mules after the manner
Of boats on a canal. Happening to see
it. Mr.. Behr decided that it was a good
scheme, and proceeded to initiate it up
on the Irish coast. From steam and
twenty miles an hour, the transition
has been more natural than rapid. He
has gone slowly and surely to the end,
that later he might be as sure of help
ing the world TO so very fast

several through the park at Tervueren.
In order TO maintain such a speed, 1t
would be fatal to have to slow down
for q crossing. Accordingly, Mr.. Behr
has rugged up q marvellous drawbridge
for roads. This drawbridge is worked
automatically, so that when the train
approaches the two sections of the
bridge, parting in the middle, fly up,
allowing the train to pass at full speed.
Mr.. Behr expects in the future to use
his new invention not only for short
distances between densely populated
cities, but for long distances through
the country where the passenger traf-
fic is large. If his line now projected
from Liverpool to Manchester is en-
tirely satisfactory, think of the posi-
bilities for still longer ones! For in

bought a tract of land near Sousa. The
sprouts that he planted tlourished, and
the consignment that reached this port
yesterday was the first shipment from
his new plantation. The bananas were
brought by the steamer Premier of the
American Fruit company, and she I'M
loaded at pier No. 8, East river.
In the cargo We're five punches of red
bananas They were auctioned off at
the unusual price of 81 and IS a bunch.
This was about 10 cents apiece.
The rest of the cargo of the Premier
consisted of yellow bananas. They were
shorter than the common bananas, but
broader in proportion. The fruit is
highly thought of by those experts who
have examined it.
The officers of the Premier declare
that the new banana district is teeming
with fruit, but that there are no ia
cilities for getting it to the coast. The
cargo of the Premier was carried on
the heads of the natives down the
mountain sides for miles. OF course
this is expensive and the American
planters. including Mr.. Dumois, are
thinking of building a railroad from
the plantations to the coast.
