TO AVERT ELEVATED ROAD BLOCKS.
A Plan for Raising the Temperature of the
Rail by Electricity.

An interesting scheme for avertng blockadeS on
the elevated roads when the third rail becomes
coated with ice proposed by Elias f. Ries, an
electrical engineer OF this city He has devised a
plan for raising the temperature of the rail by
an electric current
BY connecting the third rails Of both its up and
down tracks intervals of about two thousand
feet he would constitute short sections in each OF
which there would be opportunity for complete
circuit In these he would cause current to flow
that would be entirely independent OF the one used
to propel the The latter has pressure OF
$50 volts What Mr.. Riea wants is one Of twenty
five volts. Moreover the motor driving. cur
rent Is OF the direct type. For the work to be
done an alternating current would be the most
venient- This could readily be obtained from tho
wires which the railroad company employs for
lighting It's power house and sub-stations. This
has pressure Of $50 volts but by of trans
formers the potential could be reduced to any de
sired level. One of these transformers would be
pIaced in such a position to feed each of the
2Oo0-foo sections into which the road would be
divided
Mr. Ries believes that the apparatus and work of
installing 1t would than $4,000

point the ice could be melted off In short time
by a rise of only Al to 10 degrees.
Aside from its serviceability in winter. the in
ventor says that this system would prove useful in
summer, also, when the efficiency of the third rail
as a conductor is impaired by light drizzes
MIR Ries makes use of well established principles
in this scheme. Electric heating is accom-
plished with currents of low voltage and large
