10 harness the electricity ON Pixies

cog road-that is the scheme of the
Manitou & Pixies Peak railway.
Inc proposition, according to the gem
erai manager, Mr.. Sells, is feasible. and
affords the only practical means of en-
ptoylng electricity.0n the cog road. The
project involves problems in electricity

VIII arrive within a few days q man of
recognized ability, who is coming to
give the matter his personal investiga-
tion
His visit is the result of a trip which
Mr.. Sells recently took East to discuss
the proposition to electrify the cog
road.
One Obstacle in Way.
The one obstacle in the way Of car
rying out such plan is the static cleo
trlcity with which the air is charged
above the 12,00e-foot point. The fact
mat Pixies peak oVertops all the sur
rounding mountains makes it the nat
ural grounding spot for millions of.
volts OF electricity that would other
wise be dissipated over a large area.
In the ordinary trolley line power
comes along the trolley wire from the
power station, thence into the motors
under the cars and returns to the earth,
completing the circuit
The heaVyEacurrents of the peak COM
ing so quickly and SO violently, would,
aS applieds direct, tear the machines TO
pieces within week after operations
were begun The thing to dc then is
to harness this power and make it use
full. ig-l
They propose, therefore, to make a
complete circuit of trolley wire and n
double circuit which shall contain all
the power needed to operate the cars,
and at the same time keep it from rip
ping up the motors in its desire to get
to earth. sa
This double trolley circuit will be
complete in itself, starting from the
power house. in .Manitou and returning
without going through the earth.
The pole, of the car viii take the
power in the ordinary way and trans
nit it to the motor, but it wiz return
on the other wire to the power house
and not through the earth. thereby pre-
venting the burning out of the mo-
tor. ss
lightning Rod on Pole.
The poles which will carry these
wires will each have at the top light
ming rod designed to attract cleo
tricity which plays around the peak so
hercely. The theory is that the poles
will catch the juice and transmit it
through the rails Of the cog road to- the
power house in Manitou, where it viii
be, transformed and stored for use.
They will take the electricity off the
peak and transmit it to Manitou, where
it can be used for driving trains up and
down.
The cog road management has al.
ready begun upon plans and speeifica-
tons, as the proposition will be unique
for railway of this kind.
