ENT STEAM RAILWAYS

1t does away entirely with locomotives
heavy motor ears. electric engines and ali
other similar heavy and expensive ma
chimes
A speed OF so to 200 miles an hour can
be regularly reached aud maintained for
any distance.
Runs winter and summer alike. Not
anected by Ice, snow. grease. dirt. sleet
rain or any other weather condition.
Less than one-quarter OF the fuel is needed
Trains be started and stopped
quicker than BY suy other system and with
out discomfort to passengers.
Power houses can be placed 200 miles,
apart.
No brakes are required The stopping IS
done by reversing the current.
There is no hattening OF the wheels and
consequent jogging Of the cars. Wheels
do not grind on the rails to start trains
hence no holes or depressions are made.
II Is easier on the roadbed and cars and
practically no repairs will be needed.

to the Baptist Church, Rev. H. w.
Mel pastor, and there were the guests
of the church at a supper. After sup
per there was a brief service of song
and addresses. Rev. William Thomas,
pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Oak
land, gave a stirring address on Train
