GERMAN STATE RAILWAYS.
Electric Versus Steam Locomotion-
New Schemes Suggested.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe
The schemes which have been suggested
for the introduction of electric traction on
certain main lines of railway In Germany
do not in any way deter the state railway
authorities from endeavoring to obtain I'M
proved results from the use of express
steam locomotives. In particular the pro-
posed high-speed electric railways-as, for
instance, that contemplated between Ber-
lin and Hamburg-do not appear to make
any progress, as, apart from the enormous
expenditure which would have to be In
Cured In the construction and equipment
of the line. the Prussian railway minister
Is impressed by the technical difficulties
which would have to be overcome In order
to bring the scheme to successful issue
The official idea seems to be, says The
Engineer, that considerable obstacles would
have to be surmounted In avoiding points
and level crossings as far as possible, and
In obtaining curves OF wide radius, to-
gether with the question of sidings and the
securing of the working conductor from the
contingency of accidents. An entirely new
electric railway in competition with the
existing steam line would not receive the
sanction of the government, while the con-
version of the latter line to electric traction
would not be undertaken by the promoters
without state guarantee AS there Is
little likelihood, judging from the present
attitude Of the railway minister of a SUBJ
sidy being granted. the position is prac-
tieally deadlock in regard to the Berlin
Hamburg project. In the meantime ar
rangements are being made for a resump-
ton of the experiments with express steam
locomotives.
The trials which took place last year
were carried out both on the section be-
tween Berlin and Hanover and on the short
military railway between Marienfeld and
Zossen, In the vicinity of Berlin. On the
latter line, which had been specially re-
constructed for experimental work both In
respect Of electric and steam locomotives.
II was possible to attain speeds ranging
up to a maximum or eighty-four miles an
hour with steam locomotives hauling
train composed of three coaches. In the
case of the Beriin-Hanover trials high
speeds were also achieved. and as result
of the whole Of the tests 1t Is now officially
concluded that on those particular sections

OF line where the permanent way Is of the
heavy class the existing steam locomotive
may be permitted to travel at the rate OF
seventy-four miles an hour. This velocity

tests. the limit of economic working at

feet has already been given to these con-
clusions by the issue of new regulations
for the German main and secondary rail-
ways. Thus the permissive speed on main
lines has been increased to sixty-two miles
an hour. and to seventy-four miles an hour
in special cases where heavy rails are used
and the track In general Is suitable for the
purpose, while the rate has been advanced
to twenty-five miles an hour on the Sec
ondary railways. The determination of the
German state railway authorities to effect
improvements In the railway service Is not
only Illustrated by the higher speeds which
are being brought into permissive use, but
also by the extension of the length of the

The American landscape, even in the
older parts of the country, Is generally I'M

owners of big estates rarely appreciate the
scale on which the landscape architecture
should be laid out, and the patience which
is necessary to obtain a complete and con-
siImmate effect. They want ready-inaue

Stammering.

Among the minor arts of great impor-

embarrassment.
In many cases the self-cure of stammer-

ferer when a boy at a day school. He set
himself to invent the cure. 1t was abso-

achieved In silence. to start the sentence.
Since then he has never stammered-aioud.

Greek Rules of Construction.
the Architectural Record.


In constructing their stone edifices tho
Greeks. who were reasoners and logicians.
followed certain rules, and adopted, for
each edifice, certain fixed proportion.
What does this mean? 1t means that the
proportions of the different parts of the
edifice are simple proportions. which can
be reduced to a common measure. Take as
an example the temple of Paestum. with
which we are now dealing. The moduie
Is the mean radius of the column. This
module measures three feet. The column
Is ten times the module. say thirty feet.
The distance between the axes of the col
umns is I'VE times the module. say fifteen
feet. The total height of the entablature
is also fifteen feet. the width of the abacus
is three modules. equal to nine feet. II Is
thus seen that all these numbers are mui-
tiple, of three. which is the moduie. In this
manner the proportions OF the different
members of an edihce have a constant re-
lation to each other.
1t goes without saying that the module
varies for each edifice: there Is no single
and absolute rule. For instance. In the
Dorfc order the length of the column varies
from ten to twelve modules: In the Ionic
order from sixteen to twenty-one. The en-
tablature of the Doric order measures five
modules. and that OF the Ionic only four.

Lunar Rainbow Seen in Georgia.

A curious and unusual phenomenon. IN
the form of a rainbow for which the moon
instead of the sun furnished the light, was
observed here on the night of June ID.
A heavy ralnstorm, accompanied oy con-
siderable thunder. occurred just before
moonrise. AS the clouds retired to the west
the luminary rose and the bow was hrst
observed only the extremities for about 20
degrees being visible. the moon at that time
being concealed behind small cloud. For
about twenty minutes the bow increased In
brightness and at the end of that time
could be clearly traced throughout its en-
tire length. AT each end the red and blue
colors could be plainly distinguished. but
the remainder of the arc showed only as
light streak across the clouds.
The conditions for the phenomenon were
almost ideal. the moon being but few
days past full, the cloud screen occupying
the proper position. and, as it occurred just
at moonrise, the bow was seen well up In
the heavens. After the clouds had almost
entirely melted away. leaving only slight
haze through which the stars shone. por-
tfons of the bow could still be clearly dis
cerned.
