LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM
The Nerves OF the Ensinesr VIII FIX
the Boundary Line-ohaA.
Ows Ahead.

An, old locomotive engineer, in reply
to the statement that $50 miles an hour
was one of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build The
engines for 150-mile gait, but they
cant build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific, and anything over
50 miles an hour is pace which jars
every nerve in the body. The average
locomotive man 10 apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even 65 miles an hour. After such all
ordeal he is completely unhinged, jump
ing when he hears unexpected noises,
like hysterical woman. BY those who
have passed through this experience
it is believed that the strain comes
mainly through, the sight, The engi-
peer has to look straight ahead, but at
the same time, as it has been expressed,
she sees things whizzing past on both
sides out Of the tail of his eye, and it is
as if something had hold of the optic
nerve and was pulling it out like q
rubber band" Shadows are the terror
of the locomotive engineer. A bird may
fit across the headlight and throw a
shadow down the track as big as box
car. OF course, it is gone in an instant
but in just that heartbeat the nerves
of the engineer have been given shock
that they may not recover from in a
week. The new electric headlights are
said to be the worst kind of spook FRO
ducers. They cast such sharp shadows
that bug moving over the glass will
give the engineer the impression of a
COW lying just in front of the pilot. AT
very high speeds such an experience
conjures up visions of sudden death and
gives a sledge-hammer blow to every
nerve center in the body of the engineer.
Old engineers say that the speed of
10C miles an hour is beyond the sus-
tanned endurance Of the man at the
lever, and with speed of $50 miles
the human machine would 60. mad in
