WHAT cARELEssNEss COSTS.
Running an Elevator Back After Pass
ing a Floor Means Half a Cent

Even the elevator passengers and the
operator can throw away money for
the owner of a building. Not counting
the wear and tear on the machinery.
cables and other equipment, the expense
Of running a car back to floor which
it has passed few inches has a notice
able effect on the monthly cost sheet.
When an electric elevator starts up or
down, empty or loaded, the first four
seconds after throwing the lever cost as
much money as traversing three floors
after full speed is attained. Reducing
this to figures for large size passenger
elevator it is safe to say that it costs
half a cent to start it.
Take a twelve story building with five
elevators. Assume that in each trip,
both up and down, two errors We're
made, partly owing to the passengers
and partly to the operator. Thus for
every round trip of each elevator there
will be four errors made in bringing the
car to the proper level Assuming these
to cost half a cent each there will be
a loss of 10 cents in the time required
for all the elevators to make one round
trip. In an office building with five ele-
vatOrs running continuously for eight
hours al twenty round trips an hour or
100 round trips day each, the added
expense would be $16 a day.
Thus in Il building where traffic is
heavy all day, as in those Of the hnan-
cial district, where messengers are con
tinually going in and out of the build
ings and the cars are large, it can be
seen that this item is to be seriously con
sidered. With 300 working days a year
this loss, counting wear and tear, could
easily amount to $1,000 if electricity were
paid for at 10 cents a kilowatt hour The
more rapid depreciation Of the controller.

power transmission, such as the steel
worm and the bronze gear wheel, are ali
items which it would be difficult to meas
ure accurately.

rhe Truth About the silencer.

Inventor Hiram Percy Maxim, the pro-
ducer of the marvellous gun silenceF, has
rushed into print" with reinsurance
for those who imagine that his contri-
vance may enable would-be assassins to
use ordinary weapons with the secrecy
Of air-gun shooting; and in trying TO
quiet the fear that has been engenderd
by reports as 90 the efficiency of the
silencer, Mr.. Maxim corrects the im-
preston that guns or rifles which are
equipped with il are absolutely nOiseless,
as has been enormously reported. He
declares that he has found a way to 81
lcnco from % to 30 per cent of the noise
of Il rife or a gun, but there is lot
Of very curious noise left'-noise that
cannot be described with words, but
which he attempts to describe by say
ing that it is an ''all peryading reVer-
beratory sort of noise, coming from
nowhere in particular"
The last clause of this description re
lates to the chief aim Of the new appli-
ance as part of the soldiers accoutre-
ment, Silence on the part of guns is
valuable only because il would enable an
attacking party to deliver blows without
revealing the direction from which they
come. Inventor Maxim tried 10 stifle the
gun for this reason, and he has succeed
cd in achieving the ultimate aim without
establishing absolute noiselcsSHCss.
The silenccr causes sound whose lOca-
ton cannot be distinguished. because it
seems like a crash of echoes from all
directions. A rifle fred into the air
makes less noise than a boys air rifle.
The same gun fired across Il field in
which there are trees and bushes, accord
ing to Mr.. Maxim makes a loud, curious
reyerberation which can be heard long
distance" Fired into the woods, the
rifle makes noise like that which comes
after n flash of lightning, and just before
the arrival OF the thunder clap--suggcst-
ing a tearing or ripping.
This explanation by Mr.. Maxim makes
the silenccr less a marvel than il has
been described 10y others, bat leaves it
quite as valuable for military operations
AS it could possibly be were it's silcncng
effects thorough and absolute. And il
carries Cmfort to those who have been
rac<ed with fear, because it shows that
the silenCer is like the air-gun only when
il is fred in the air; that it makes noise
enough when it Is utilized on the level
to reveal an assassin who uses il at
close range.

TWELVE MILE TUNNEL.

Gently been approved by the Italian gov
eminent. The line lies through the
Llgurian Alps, and, though other routes
were considered, the gradients and
alignment 0btainable were sufficiently
important in the opinions of the gov
eminent engineers to justify the long
tunnel on the line adopted. The plans
Tor construction contemplate the use of
five shafts between the portals, thus di-
viding the tunnel into six sections and
allowing the work to be prosecuted from
twelve headings.
The geological surveys indicate. accord

per cent. of the tunnel viii be driven
through calcareous schists and mari. II
per cent. through calcareous and serpen-
Tine conglomerateS and 1G per cent.
through argillaceous schistS. The tun-
mel is TO be lined with brick except where
heavy pressures are encountered, the
lining there being stone.
In the worst conditions likely to occur
the double track section will not be used,
but two parallel single track tubes,
driven until better material Is peue-
trated. Instead Of using heavy tenn
porary timbering in driving through soft
material, ii is proposed to drive a cir
cular heading and line it as fast ms ex-
cavated with reinforced concrete rings.

rings are to be made in six segments

with the pressure, being made narrower
as the pressure increases. This lining will
