DIVERSE TRACTION SYSTEMS.

The dissimilarity between the methods adopted
by the New-Ycrk Central and the New-Haven
roads for the operation Of trains when cleo
rtcity displaces steam next year Is discussed
in eThe Street Railway Journal by a well
known electrical engineer and inventor, Frank
J. Sprague. The writer is a member of the
commission which has acted in an advisory ca
pacity to the Central but he is careful to dis
claim speaking either for his associates or for
the railroad company. Convinced, however, that
the contemplated diversity of system is unfort-
innate, he INDUCES in an elaborate protest
against It
At the terminal station in 42d-st there will be
a separation of local and express trains Tracks
for the former viii be arranged at a lower
level than those for the latter Besides, in
order to facilitate the quick dispatch Of sub
urban trains they viii be brought in on and
sent out from a loop. 1t is the purpose of the
Central TO operate these In the same manner as
elevated railway and subway trains. The mo-
tive machinery wiz be placed under the cars
The New-E9aven road seems TO have abandoned
all intention OF doing the same thing evidently
meaning 10 RELY on electric locomotives for its
local as well as its express service Now, Mr.
Sprague declares that the sharpness OF the
curve ON the loop will make it lmpracticable to
handle a train Of twelve or fourteen cars eff
fectiyely there with locomotive. Another Of
bis criticisms relates to the mode of picking up
the current. The Central will supply this by
means Of the third rail- but on the tracks OF the
New-Haren read between WoOdlawn and STAN
ford the sole reliance win be an overhead wire.
For The Eew-Haven trains, therefore, two sets
Of current collectors must be provided. Mr..
Sprague has doubts whether at switches and in
storage yards it VIII be easy to shift from one
method Of taking current TO the other quickly
enough 10 insure efficiency. Again, the roof Of
the tunnel is only fifteen feet above the rails,
and the 'fb0ws' which on the New-Haven loco
motives viii perform the Office OF poles and
grooyed wheels are to be adapted to making d
contact with wire seven feet higher. From
Mr. sprag CUES allusion TO the difference but not
from any definite statement, 1t is TO be in

ACCESSIBLE POETS.

The speed Of the ocean steamship having been
doubled in the last fifty years. the time required
for transatlantic voyage has been reduced one
half. The full benefit OF the gain cannot be
realized, however, unless the facilities for en-
tering and leaving harbor are adequate. In
the columns Of Engineering" Mr. Brysson
Cunningham shows how far these are, at the
majority Of American and European ports from
meeting modern requirements. The depth Of
water at the shallowest point in the channel is
Of course, the most important element in the
situation; and in few localities has the progress
Of improvement kept pace with the need for
better accommodations.
At least twenty-five or thirty steamships are
already in service which would draw 80 feet
or more if fully loaded. Were the Baltic to
take as large cargo she is able to stow in her
capacious hold she would have draught Of 3715
feet. Now depth Of 80 feet at low water may
be taken as provisional standard whereby to
Judge the virtues of d harbor; and 1t is aston
ishing to observe how small Is the number Of
ports which to-day afford even that depth On
the bar In the Mersey there are only q feet Of
water at the lowest stage Of a spring tide.
Hence about twice a month there must be a
delay of about an hour in getting access to
Liverpool by heavy ocean liner. In the lower
part Of New-York Bay there is depth Of nearly
or quite 81 feet at mean low water. The trifing
nominal superiority thus exhibited is much more
than offset by the difference in the range of the
tide at the two ports. At Liverpool under ex-
IRENE circumstances this amounts to 30 feet,
whereas it rarely exceeds feet here. Even at
high water, therefore, it would be hard for the
Baltic to get into New-York Harbor If she car
ried such q load as she was designed for. Under
the most favorable conditions there would be 81
feet Of water at the shalowest point on the
Mersey. It has been obvious for years, there
fore, that If New-York is to realize her CONNER
ciaI possibilities the work of deepening the Am
brose Channel to 40 feet should be carried to
completion soon.
In the mean time some solace may be found Ill
considering how much worse Off some other
ports are at the present time Hamburg, for
instance, rarely has more than q feet of water,
and the biggest vessels which are bound thither
are obliged to leave some Of their freight at the
mouth Of the Elbe. Bremen is equally unfOrt-
innate. Havre, even at high tide, has only 30
feet of water; and unless steamers which draw
% or % feet arrive there at just the right hour
they must send their passengers ashore on a
tender In the Mediterranean it is possible to
find two ports, Marseilles and Genoa, which are
accessible at all hours Of the day; but their ex-
tstence serves to emphasize the rule to which
they are notable exceptions. Radical changes
must be made IN many of the leading harbors
of the world before the departure and unloading
of large steamships can be as prompt as they
should be-

About seventy-five thousand children are IN
able to get seats in the public schools Oh New
York for a full days instruction. Ii we were
to adopt the language used two years ago Dy
Mr. Mcclellan about children similarly stu
ated, we should say these boys and girls were
denied the inherent right OF an elementary
education" but it is not SO bad as that we
wish to be perfectly fair to the Mayor even Il
he was not fair, and we take pains to note that
these children do get part of a days schooling.
Nevertheless. the Mayor, If he is honest with
himself and the public, as he contemplates the
failure of the city administration to provide
seat for a full day for every child, Will say;
''No excuse, no splitting of hairs, no apologles
from Mr. Mcclellan or his city superintendent
"of schools will or be accepted by the
people"
That is lust what the Mayor said of his prede-
cessor two years ago. Change the single word
Mcclellan to Low and we have the exact quota
ton Yet at that time A1r. Mcclellan must
have known that Mr.. Lows administration had
done all that was physically possible for the
schools. Mayor Van Wyck, for the iniquities of
whose administration Mr.. Mcclellan, while
STOPPING for favorS from Croker, Ostentatously
announced that he had no apologies to oner,
neglected the schools for four years and left
them almost hopeessly behind the demands Of
the population Mayor Low went to work vlgor-
ously, appropriat1ng large sums and pushing
construction as rapidly as possible 1t was i'm
possible to do six years work in two, however,
and at the end of his term he had not caught up
with the requirements Of the children, chiefly
because many of his schoolhouses could only be
completed in the next term. Yet Mr.. Mcclellan,
appealing to ignorance with tricks which would
have befitted demagogue, shouted: mo ex-
'cuse; no splitting of hairs; no apologies from
''Mr. Low or his city superintendent Of schools
will or can be accepted by the people"
Mayor Mcclellan, after reaping the benefit Of
all that Mayor Low did IN starting school
houses completed since his retirement, still has
failed to keep his distinct promise to give every
child a seat for full day in school. For time
he tried to fool the people by an effort to have
part time called full time but finding that he
could not thus gain credit for keeping his prom
Use in letter while breaking it in spirit he has
begun to make excuse. But no excuse from him
can be accepted. He set up his own standard
and must be judged by it. He made rash
promises to gain votes. He should be held to
answer for his failure mo excuse; no splitting
OF hairs; no apologiesr'

In favor of the tube as against the subway
The public, for instance, is uniformly treated

peremptOry manner, such as New-YOrkers are
accustomed to when they are so fortunate as TO

Nominally our own transit companies are ami
mated by a similar spirit to judge by the printed

do not seem to have yet ascertained the way to
make it generally observed by their employees.
That the public, on its part is also often I'M
mindful to show to car conductors the politeness
which It demands as right of them is unfort-
unately true. There is no way, however, Of
enforcing conventional politeness upon the gen

The Central. II will be remembered, means to

was snnounced few weeks ego that the New

from This city. Hence the locomotives which

with either kind of current. Whlch or the Two 10
The better suited to traction work is question on
which engineers have differed radically IL Is
claimed that the drawbacks to the alternating
current have now been overcome. How sue
cessful are the recent improvements in the ap-
plication of 1t impartial judges still find It hard
to saw Hence Mr.. Sprague does not discuss
that point. He makes 1t clear, though, that he
regards the particular type of locomotive which
the New<Hayen company has ordered as an 'ex-
pertinent" The uncertainty which, in his cpln-
ion. exists as to its performance Is mentioned
as a uossible hindrance to the beginning OF the
Centrars electric service next August; for, as
he truthfully observes, 1t would be undesirable
to begin this before the New-Haven company Is
ready 10 abandon the use of steam engines alto
gether.
The high professional standing Of Mr.. Sprague
and the temperate tone of his article viii doubt
less secure for him a careful hearing; but Of
the force Of his complaints the officials Of the
Central must be the best judges. II they are
convinced that the policy recently adopted by
the New-Haven company is likely to interfere
with the operation Of their own trains, no doubt
thev will authorize a remonstrance. Until they
do the public will wisely refrain from taking
