tests on the New York Central show
with tremendous force the growing
Importance, in fact, the predominant
ing influence of electricity upon our
commercial and business life.
some time ago two mogul en-
glhes were attached to the front of
l"eh year freight train and a
, speed of five miles an hour develoD-
ed. On the tail end of the train was
attached an electric motor, one in
general use by the road in that sec
tion of the system which has been
reduced to electrical operation. At
given signal the trailing electric en-
gine was started in the opposite di-
rection. Its pulling power was so
great that within 100 feet it stop
ped the train and started up grade
in the opposite direction against the
steam of both engines. In other
words, its power was twice as great
as the two engines, and sufficient to
pull the entire train, including the
opposing motive power, with appar-
ent ease.

Mr. Edison was asked If he was
working personally on the theory,
and he only replied that he had retir-

vention and was devoting his re-
search to scientific investigation. He
practically admitted. however, that
this was has favorite hobby. and that
his happiest moment would be the
realization of its practical possibility,
whether it was the product of his
mind or some other inventor.
Next in Importance to the world at
large he regarded the artificial manu-
facture of black diamonds as a tre-
menuous achievement
"A black diamond today costs more

that through some artificial means
a black diamond could be produced
