of words had been read off he looked
up cheerfully and repeated the whole OF
the undressing catalogue Of words
without a single fault. Then to show
how carefully his wonderful memory

BRAKES ON AUTOMOBILES.
Safety More Important Than the De-
veIopment of Speed.

IF the manufacturers of automobiles
would devote more attention to the ques-
tion of brakes on their machines and less
to the development of speed, autoing would
be safer" remarked q well-known autoist
of this city to a Star reporter.
"A recent accident to my machine which
might have caused me my life by reason
OF the failure Of the brake to work at
critical moment when che was coming
down a hill in the environs of town has
made the subject of brakes on autos ten
der one with me. A perusal of the press
reports shows that great many of the ac-
cidents to machines. with the consequent
loss of life or the manning of the opera
tors, is due to defective brakes. While
speed Is primary essential to autoing
from the manufacturers standpoint the
question Of personal safety ought to be of
tantamount Importance.
''On some of the electric autos the brake
operates on the motor only, but there
ought to be two and even three brakes
upon these machines. There is only one
safe brake, and that is of the powerful
kind which Is in the form of an iron band,
or drum, which encircles the two rear
wheels at the hub and by leverage pres
sure locks each wheel ae In a vice. II every
auto turned out was required by law to be
fitted with one of these lock-wheel brakes
the number of auto accidents would be
largely decreased, and a feeling of safety
would always be with the autoist which Ia
not now present. These brakes are SO
powerful that forty-horse power touring
car can be stopped at full speed in twice its
own length.
1T don't know that the question of the
application of the proper brakes to autos
will ever be taken up as one for municipal
ordinance consideration, as has been the
question OF speed, but I can see no reason
why 1t should not be; II is a matter of leg
islative enactment as to railroad cars.
Some machines have brake on the trans
mission, one on the engine, one On the
emergency drive and the double-rear wheel
lock brakes 1 have described, making four
separate and distinct methods OF bringing
the car to stop; which may be applied In
while the question of brakes has been left
to the manufacturer since autoing ia still
in its comparative infancy, ultimately this
subject may be regulated by law, and the
quicker the better for the safety of the
public at large and OF the individual opera

Elephantine Electricity,
From the Literary Digest.

from the Literary Digest.
IL Is proposed by an enterprising Anglo
Indian to utilize the labor of elephants in
operating the dynamos of an electric-light-
ing station. He writes to Engineering that
his plan involves working the animals six
hours day for this purpose and he asks
whether any one. can tell him how much
electric energy an average elephant can
produce in this way and the cost of the
necessary machinery. Engineering seems
inclined to treat the proposal with levity.
Says Cosmos (Paris). in a note on the cor
respondence:
Engineering, in It's answer, remarks that
the equivalent of the mechanical power of
the elephant is doubtless known In India,
but that no data on the subject can be
found In European textbooks; perhaps 1t
may be related to that of the horse in the
ratio of their respective weights 1t adds
plants continually turning xwindlass or
treading heavily on moving inclined planes
would be rather a painful spectacle. Out
side of these methods, however, the English
paper does not see how the enterprising
promoters of this plan could make the en-
ergy of the animals available. II can hard
ly be supposed that the elephants could be
trained to project water through their
trunks against the buckets of Pelton
wheel; and, besides, we have no means of
calculating the force of such jet. and
could not conscientiously recommend the
method! At this particular time, when anil
NAL strength is being everywhere replaced
by mechanical motive power, to the great
advantage of our friends, the domestic ami
mails the idea OF hitching elephants TO @
dynamo Is at least queer. Let US hope,
for the sake of these sympathetic pachy-
gineering win ward OFF from them this cruel
burden"
