STEAM AND ELECTRIC LINES
Cost Of the Two Systems Of Railway
Found About Equal According
to German Engineer.

Herr Reichel. q German engineer, has
Just completed an extensive series OF ex-
periments touching on the cost of steam
and electric traction on railways. The
experiments were made on the line be-
tween Marienfelde and Zossen, and the
result is that the cost of working the
two forces has been almoSt equal.
There is difference OF one-half cent
for each 100 kilometers in favor OF
electricity.
The calculations have been made
with a train Of five carriages, with
seating accommodations for 1853 passen-
gers. drawn by a steam locomotive OF
400 horsepower The electric train
consisted of four carriages, with the ac-
commodation of $50 passengers, drawn
by an electric motor OF 1000 horse
power
After series OF careful calculations
Herr Reichel has found that-fT costs 13
cents to carry passenger 100 kilo-
meters by steam and IL cents for the
same distance by electricity. tits stated
that this result has caused much sur
prise to German engineers, who have
hitherto held the opinion that electric
ity was by far the cheapest motive pow
or for railway PASSENGER traffic.

Oldest in the world, having been

Empress Eudoxia. She built near by

she might watch him at a distance.

WAR RAGING FOR 100 YEARS
Dutch Seem Bent on the Extermina-

Regard as Barbarians.

With slight intervals for refresh
ment and rest the war Of the Dutch
against the Achinese has been going
ON for more than a century, and,
though the once powerful kingdom of
Achin is now confined to the north
west corner of Sumatra, the natives
are still unsubdued Each expedition
sent against the Achinese, though
temporarily successful, has been fol-
lowed by little lasting benefit except
that attrition has gradually worn
away the ancient kingdom. This long
war, always conducted with great
ferocity on both sides, now seems to
have degenerated into struggle of ex-
termination, in which women and
children share the fate of their sons
and fathers. The Dutch regard the
Achinese as barbarians, but little can
be said for the civilization typified by
the Dutch commander who calmly an
nounces as detail of his victory the
slaughter of 281 women and S8 chill
dren. Strangely enough, this an
nouncement, instead OF being sup
pressed by the government of the
Netherlands, is sent broadcast over the
world, accompanied by no adverse
comments or hint of official action
against the commanding general of
the expedition. And the Dutch capt.
