Telephony seems to be superseding
telegraphy for train -dispatching. In
1898 the telephone took the place of the
telegraph on 2,35! miles of railroad.
The New York Automobile Trade AS
sociatiOn recently conducted a one-gal-
lon test; that is, as to the distance that
all the different makes of machines
would run on one gallon Of gasoline
The results were quite surprising. as
the heaviest car on the list was first in
its class and third in the entire list.
The winner was an 1S-horsepower. four
cylinder . Franklin. Weighing 1000
pounds with five passengers. 1t carried
these 35.8 miles on a gallon of gasoline.
and made record of 51.55 ton miles.
This was an astonishing exhibition Of
the possibilities of cheap transportation.
since the figures meant that a ton was
carried 51T miles for a gallon OF gaso-
line, costing 16 cents.

an alloy of iron and thorium which is
