Proposed Highway for Bicycles.

A perfect highway from New York
to San Francisco, in as near straight
line as it is possible to make it, with a
width of 120 feet, for the use Of AUTO
mobiles and bicycles. as we'll as for ..;e
use of the farmer, is thing that the
Automobile club Of America will try
to bring about. The subject was seri-
ously discussed at a banquet, in honor
OF members of the National Highway
Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria,
in New York, when plans were made
and the route announced. Besides a
direct path from New York to San
Francisco, passing through Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and
Ogden, the club wants highway
along each coast. Congress will be
asked to appropriate one-third of the
expense, and the states, counties,
townships and cities en- route will be
asked to pay the rest; the owners OF
property benefited to donate the right
of-way. The club and highway COM
mission have on their list of mem.

A MILE A MINUTE,
uIgl Speed by . Trolley Car In Phila"
delphia.


| delphia.
| In whatever other respects Phlladel-
ohia may be slow she has a trolley car
which sweeps through the city In the
gray hours of dawn and which, taken
day by day, is swifter than anything
else of it's kind or class in the world,
says the New York Sun. 1t starts from
the heart Of the city just after the
newspapers are out of press and tears
away through the silent streets In a
northerly and westerly direction, up
and down hill and along valleys, with
occasional stops to throw out bundles
until twenty-seven minutes later 1t
rests on tho northern summit of Chest
nut hill, fourteen and quarter
miles away. This is at the average
rate of thirty-five miles an hour, in
Guiding at least one stop every three
fourths of a mile. Sometimes on its
route it has run a mile in minute
and an eighth and it has made the dis
lance in twenty-five minutes, includ-
ing the stops, which is just tho sched-
ule time Of the steam express trains for
practically the same distance between
the same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania rais-
ways do the trains make any stops.
Sometimes, as on market day, there
are Interruptions, when sleepy teams
get on the lines of metals, and occa-
sionally another trolley car gets be-
hind time and doesn't give it the right
of way promptly, but despite the occa-
sional delays, for two yeas, in all
conditions Of weather, facing rain or
snow, with mechanical incidents ad-
verse to its career, it has malo on an
average thirty-five trips out Of thirty
five on time and only once has it bee1
longer than forty-five minutes in COW
ering the distance. On that occasion
the wreck Of a hay wagon was on the
road and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible. From the
fact that this car carries the morning
newspapers for. distribution it might
be thought to be journalistic enter
prise in Philadelphia, but this is not
the case 1t is an experiment by tho
Union Traction company to test the
maintenance Of high speed and the
evenness of schedule time under COZ
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
ing exact factors for all the problems
it is sought to solve. Every trip is OBJ
served by electrical experts, the induc-
ton is estimated, the power measured,
the state of the metal, the thermomet-
rical and barometrlcal conditions noted
as we'll as the humidity and fog at the
different elevations along the line, and
when 1000 trips have been made the
data thus gathered will be considered,
with a view Of formulating result to
be applied in such directions Of econ
omy and accelerated speeds as may be
opened up.
