BEHIND WOODEN WALLS.
TBy M. QUAIL


1t has been said a thousand times
over that but for the American civil
war there would have been no iron
clad men of-war. It was the building
of the Monitor and the plating of the
Merrimac that gave the world it's idea
TO work on. The wooden walls have
gone forever, but when one remem-
Derg how quickly the japanese feet

mas been secured to any naval power
by the change.
In other words. while the modern
tronclad is a greater fighting machine
and capable of greater destruction, 1t
IS at the same time vulnerable to at
tack and destruction itself AS
america was first to grasp the iron
clad toea, so also was she the last 10
let go of the wooden walls. The last
battle fought at sea between two yes

EIectricitx instead OF stean1.

Another English railway has changed
its motive power. 1t was formerly op-
Grated by steam. Now it is run by cleo
tricity The line stretches northward
from Liverpool to Southport. a distance
of something like eighteen or twenty
miles. Active steps for equipping it
with the third rail system began almost
exactly a year ago, and the conversion
was virtually completed before the
close of 1903. Service was not initiated,
however, until a few days ago. Trains
are made up like those of the Manhat-
tan elevated road, partly OF motor cars
and partly of trailerS, though only two
of each kind are required at present.
When a train reaches either end of
the line no switching is necessary to
bring the engine to the head. 1t is only
necessary for the mOtorman to walk to
the other end, move two or three cleo
trio switches, and everything is ready
for a return trip.
Two marked improvements have re-
suited from the change. The same
thing was noticed in New York when
electricity replaced steam on the ele-
waited roads, but not to the same extent.
Formerly there were SeVenty-four trains
a day each way on the division reach
ing to Halls road, which is only seven
and one-quarter miles from Liverpool,
and thirty-siX went on to Southport
The number does not look large, but it
taxed the facilities of the company to
was made. Now 119 trains run to Halls
road. and sixty-five of them continue to
Southport. In other words, the ca
pacity of the line has been multiplied
about 20 per cent. The other gain is in
speed. Trains that stopped at all sta
lions formerly needed hfty-fOur min
utes to make the run from end to end
Now they do it in thirty-seven minutes.
With a solitary exception. the expresses
took thirty minutes, and now they do 1t
in seventeen Formerly there were only
two or three expresses each way daily,
and now they run hourly.
The first English company operating
a steam road outside of London to
make even a. limitedaNse of electricity
was the Northeastern The old motive
power is stiH retained for most of the
system, but large suburban service
in the vicinity of Newcastle-o n-Tyne Is
now conducted by electricity over a
section of track laid years ago. The
Liverpool and Southport is really
local line, and hence the conversion is
complete instead of partial. In some
ways. however. the action of the North
eastern company is the more significant
Pioneer enterprises demand greater sa-
gacity and courage than limitations
