Sprague's electric railway, however,
was about twenty years wide, and ii
was filled with numerous attempts to
help the eager passengers to hurry.
The first cable road was laid in San
Francisco in 1873 by Andrew s. Halli-
die, Henry Root, Asa f. Hoevy and
William Eppelsheimer. The originator
of the idea, however, was f. S. Gar
diner. of Philadelphia, who suggested
the plan some time prior to the actual
building.
The cable served its useful purpose
for eighteen years, when it was electri-
fed by the motor car promoters that

made to operate street cars by various
kinds of magnetic engines. In 1885

years later Prof. Moses Farmer brought

electric street railway system was the

officials soon saw the danger of over

precautions led to the underground sys-

Evolution of
the Street Car

Three hundred years ago an English
coal miner laid some wooden beams in
the muddy road leading from his col
liery, for the wheels of his coal carts
to run on the other day a coal mine
owner from the same country boarded
an electric ear in New York and made
a tour of the subway. The boards in
the muddy road were the ancestors of
that street car. writes b. Il. Wilson.
The little expedient of the English
miner, which made heavy hauling light,
marked the beginning of the "tram-
way" the greatgrandfather of the
railway the thing which made street
ears possible. These wooden beams
served their purpose very well until
they began to wear out. Inventive
genius was equal to the occasion; the
wooden beams were plated with iron.
Thin iron bands were fastened to the
top of the beam to take the wear of the
cart wheels. This was all right as far
as the top was concerned, but the wood
en- beams rotted on the bottom so they
made them out of iron entirely and laid
them on short pieces Of wood which
could be cheaply replaced when they
rotted To keep the wheels of the coal
carts from running off the rails was
the next problem, and they solved 1t
by putting flanges on The outer sides of
the rail. In 1889 William lesson. the
father of the street railway. took the
fanges Off the rails and put them on
the cart wheels and the real evolution

You know? Surprising that obedience
to that heavenly vision that comes at
least once to us all leads into paths
of pain, demands willingness to suffer
and to bear loss, to remain unknown
to endure what many call failure, is
it still worth while?
1t is not an evidence of anything
basely unitarian in the character of
this age that you hear so often the
test question, What's the use?" ap-
piled to proposed courses of action or
duty. Ultimately all things must come
to this proof of their right to be, that
they have use, value, or they render
service
One is justified in putting the same
test to every demand of religious duty.
1t is certainly a non-religious act to
go on doing things in the church or
in the name of religion without any
thought of their purpose or value; it
may be an irreligious act. Many a
person is stunning his religious devel-
opment by doing acts of religion with
out the religious motive.
If you urge a boy to go to Sunday
school, and he answers: 20, what's de
Of forcing him into involuntary COM
pliance with your sense of religious
duty, to fairly face his question and
discover If there is any value, any use,
any sufficient service in this which
you urge him to do?
We have no moral right to go
through any mechanical round of per-
formances blindly making these mo-
lions, performing these rites, mumbling
these words, simply because our faith
ers in the flesh did these things, or
our fathers in the faith command us
to do them. There is nothing of faith
in unthinking routines, even in the
name of religion.
Certainly here no clear or worthy
answer can come from the test of
commercial standards. We must see
life all the way around before we may
know whether the high path pays. Is
the whole world the richer for the life
that pays the great price for living?
Is the gain to the individual in strength
and beauty of life worth the cost?
Surely we know that all this life of
things depends on the dynamic of the
world Of thought, that only life In
spired by noble ideals can do even the
least piece of work in a worthy man
ner. 1t is the pursuit of some ideal
that gives proficiency in every calling ;
it is the pursuit of the ideal life that
gives power in the art of living.
1t is easy to see how it pays to dig
bitches, or to sell goods. Are we so
blind that we cannot Sec both the joy
and the profit of the life that is lived
for the supreme aims, the life that
gladly loses the shadow for the sub
stance, the things that perish for those
that endure, that piety is not seek
ing out the painful side of life, but it
is living for life itself rather than for
its tools or its meals, that no price
you can pay is too great for the prize
of full living?
