The current issue of the English Elec-

G. E., M. Inst. E. E. Mr.. Essen works
out an estimate of the cost of the alum

of 1900 kilowatts available at the johann

he reckons at about 100000, while the
cost of the upper plant itself he sets at
G465,OO0. IF the capacity of the under

to $4,000 horsepower which is about the
capacity of the steam installation sug-
gested by Mr.. Hammond, it looks as If
the cost would come out lower than in any
steam installation that could be put down.
The figures assumed in this article are, of
course, incomplete, and subject to modf-
cation, as accuracy could only be arrived
al after large amount of preliminary
work had been done. But they clearly
show that there is nothing in the proposals

wholesale condemnation of the scheme

twenty miles an hour. When George
Stephenson first began to talk about invent

or iron track the people looked upon him
as a dreamer, a visionary who might not
be quite right in his head"
But this George Stephenson of Wylam,
near Newcastle. England. was not TO be
put down by sneers nor jeers, and he had
the audacity to declare that he could in
vent an engine that would run at the ter
rife rate OF twenty-five miles an hour.

Total Eclipse of the Moon This Week

- LONG time ago there lived in
/ "A / China two distinguished astrono-
n mers, Hi and Ho, whose official
IheRTSI business it was to warn the ma
S$S43 ton in time against eclipses and
other celestial performances. Now it hap
pened one time, as the ancient chronicles
report that Hi and Ho had been wanting
in their Office. They had turned their con-
duct upside down, sunk in wine and neg
lecting their duties. They had begun to go
astray in their celestial calculations and to
put their office far away. At the dark of
the moon the heavenly bodies were not In
accord in Fang 0he head of the Scorpion).
The blind musician presented the drum, the
higher officers came in haste, the lower
officers ran. Hi and Ho were corpses in
their offices, not knowing nor hearing, and
so they have incurred the penalty of the
ancient kings. The book of punshments
says: who comes before the time shall
die no pardon; who falls behind the time
shall die, no pardon"
The emperor sent his officer to cut of the
heads of the delinquent astronomers, but
they wouldn't let him. He then ordered
the marquis of Yin to take command Of
six legions and proceed against them. And
the result was actually war.
To prevent the possibility of similar ca
lamities occurring in our own midst let US
hasten to warn or at least to inform all
our readers that there will be an eclipse
of the moon on the night between Febru-
airy and 9-that is, on the night follow
ing Thursday. This exactitude of express
sion may be necessary, at least 1t Is pru-
dent to use it. The eclipse will be a total
one-that is, the moon will remain COM
pletely immersed in the earth's shadow for
an hour and thirty-eight minutes. The
time Of the eclipse is rather inconvenient
for most OF us, but If the reader has never
seen the moon totally eclipsed 1t will re-
pay him to observe 1t this time.
The accompanying diagram will enable
the reader to follow the eclipse intelli-
gently. The largest circle is the earth's
penumbra and the smaller one its umbra
or shadow at the place where the moon
will cross them If there were a screen
Of some kind hung up in the sky we would
see these circles as they are on the d!a-
gram. But, as this is not the case we
can only see parts of these circles,
rather only of the shadow, the moon
runs across them.

Electricity in q Railroad Tunnel.
The Sarnia tunnel of the st. Clair Tunnel
company passes under the st. Clair river
and connects the divisions OF the Grand
Trunk railway system which terminate at
Port Huron. Mich, and Sarnia, Ontario.
The tunnel proper is 6,0S2 feet long, and
from terminal to terminal a distance OF
IS, 34S feet, will be electrically equipped.
At the present time, reports the Railway
and Engineering Record, passenger and
freight trains arriving from either drec-
ton are hauled through the tunnel by steam
locomotives. Almost all of the freight trains
must be divided on arrival, they are
too heavy tor a single locomotive to handle
on the grade at the tunnel approaches. The
result has been that traffic is congested
at the terminals and the entire service of
the system impaired. 1t is expected that
the electric locomotives will greatly relieve
this congestion, as their greater capacity
and fiexibilty will eliminate or largely re-
duce the necessity of dividing trains.
The equipment includes a complete power
station, feeder and distributing system,
bonding, light and power distributing sys-

Electric Aerial Railway.

There is apparently no more attractive
field for engineering than the mountains Of
Switzerland. and the greatest skill and In
geruity have been exercised in the various
railways designed to carry tourists to the
submits. Recently, says Harpers Weekly,
there has been an entirely new departure
from existing practice in a plan proposed
for ascending the northwestern side of the
Wetterhorn, which rises preclpitously to
an altitude of 1900 feet above the sea level
Tho new scheme consists of a combination
of the fundamental principles of the ordi-
nary aerial galloway. now so much used in
constructive engineering for the transport
of materials, and of the elevated mono-
railway best exampled in the line between
Barmen and Elberfeld in Germany. In the
latter a car is suspended from a single rail
supported by n system Of Orders, while in
the new Swiss railway. instead of rail,
a stout steel cable will be stretched from
station to station, and from this will be
suspended by its running gear car or cage
for the passengers. Each car will contain
ten passengers, and be of the lightest pos
sible construction.
The line will run from the Grindlewald
VI per glacier, at about 1900 feet altitude
up to the Enge station in one lift, a dis
taEce OF l,5UO rect. This station is OF mas
sive masonry, and affords an anchorage
for the cable. The gradient OF the cable
for this part of the line is about so per
cent. This station affords access to a series
of fine views, and there is a path along the
Enge to the departure station OF the second
section OF the line. which extends to a point
at an altitude of 1871 feet, or lift of 2,SOC
feet, The motive power is to be electricity
at high tension, and part OF the installation
Is already completed. The summit of the
Wetterhorn is 1850 feet above sea level
and from the present studies there is ap-
parently no reason why access to 1t should
not be gained by a series of such railways
