The pilot OF the locomotive is out
Of joint, if we may refer to that por-
ton Of the iron horse as its nose.
\ new rival is in the field, and it be-
gins to look dangerous. Five years
ago a commission Of expert railway
men and electrical engineers carefully
considered the question Of using
electrical power on railways, and it
was generally agrf ed that for the
time being no such change could be
made. Since then there have been
new inventions and discoveries and
new engineering processes. and the
engineering processes, and the appll-
cation of electricity to a limited eN-
tent on the present steam roads IS
practically an accomplished fact. The
entire Long Island railway is to adopt
electric power. and the New York
Central will use this motive force for
30 miles north of its New York ter
minals. The Pennsylvania will in
stall it exclusively on its new tunnel
lines in New York.
1t may we'll be considered that this
is only beginning. All the efforts
BY physicists the world over to secure
a higher potential from coal. or, in
other words, to conserve more Of the
So or 90 per cent. OF heat that is now
wasted, have had in view stationary
engines 1t has seemed impossible
10 make any saving on locomotive.
When the latent heat OF coal can be
used to better advantage it will make
electricity a much cheaper force than
now. and in the end steam will be
reiegatcd 20 such roads as cannot Sc
cure cheap electrical power.

Biggest Trout Of the Season.

AS far as is known, the laurels for
capturing the largest trout this sea-
son will be handed to a Philadel-
phian, Milton Apple. The catch
was made on the last day of the trout
season, and the fish is one OF the fin
est ever seen in Stroudsburg or East
Stroudsburg. Mr.'Apple was fishing
in the creek at Henryville, in front
OF the residence Of E. R. Henry. He
had been having fair luck, and then
he had rise" He expected to land
a fair size fish, and was totally un-
prepared for the surprise he expert
enced when he landed the monster
he had on the end Of the line. The
fact that the trout was we'll hooked
and that the fisherman kept his head
prevented any accident 1t took about
an hour before the trout was finally
safe on land. The fish measured
25 I-2 inches and weighed E II
pounds. Mr. Apple also caught a
trout measuring e inches. He was
offered $40 for the largest, but said
he had never sold trout, md never
would.
