THE SUCTION OF TRAINS.
uu@oIvcl Problems in Traction That Have to Do with 3IcIera
 EaiIrcpGiGG.

"Thf theory that a moving train car ries along an envelope of air is very interesting" said an engineer reports the New Orleans Tim Democrat ''a il q I believe there is 3 good deal Of truth in it. l first had my attention attract ed 10 the subject by curious incident that happened several years ago at a crossing near Birmingham. Ala.. where trains pass twice day a speed of about 40 miles an hour. The tracks are seven feet apart, and there would seem to be ample room to stand between them in perfect safety. One afternoon a small fox terrier dog belonging to 9 section boss was asleep in the middle space and woke up just as the trains closed in from each side. There was a barrel on the ground near by, and the dog in his fright jumped on top of it.. That possibly brought him into one of he rushing envelopes Of air; a any rate, he was whirled off his feet and thrown clear to the roof of the opposite car. where he was subsequently, found jammed against a ventilator chimney with no injury except q broken leg. How in the world he ever made such q journey and escaped alive is a mystery, unless his fall was deadened by a cush- ion of air.
 "Apropos of atmospheric pressure, it is a Wel,-knowp fact that there is vortex space or zone of suction direct ly behind any rapidly train, and it's presence accounts for a gro~ teSqEe happening that took place some time ago on the Southern Pacific. ho Ta1;
 was going through western Arizona al a clipping gait a passenger who was on the verge of the jimiams rushed out to the rear platform, climbed on the rail and jumped off. He was wearing a very long linen duster and muscular tour 1st who happened to be on the platform a the time grabbed it by the tai.s as 1t sailed by and yelled for help. When some of the others ran to his assistance they found the lunatic stretched straight out in the air behind the plat form. bowling like Con.anche. but safely anchored by his duster. which had turned inside out and caught him at the shoulders. The muscular gen tIeman was hanging on for dea, life. but had il not been for the fact that the wou!G-be suicide was virtually sus- tained and carried along by the suction of the vortex space something would certainly have given way. They reeled the man in and he promised to be good.
 We have very little exact knowledge at present of the atmospheric condi- tIons that surround moving train. 4 fuller knowledge of them may lead to the solution of some bafIling problems in traction"

He understood little Of the at torney's profound interrogat ories, and gave his answers in confused and stamIhering way calculated to ruffle the sweetest temper.
