SAVINGS by Bio Corporations.


There has been some little agita-
ton lately about the possible saving
in the various branches of railroading
Doubtless in such a gigantic system of
railroads economy could be brought
into play in various branches, with a
resultant saving Of respectable for
tunes, but the public is little aware
of the pains which great corporations
go to effect a saving in details of their
work A company capitalized in the
millions is looked upon as such a
huge institution that one cannot con-
ceive of it's managers attempting to
save a few cents on minor processes,
and yet a recent report of the Chicago
Railways company gives striking evil
dence to the contrary, and proves the
necessity of such saving In the biggest
corporations.
By some experimenting this COM
pany ascertained that by installing
tantalum lamps in its cars it could
save five cents a day for each car in
service A thousand cars already
have been equipped with the new
lighting system, and this means saw
ing of $4,000 a year; while if every
car in the service were thus equipped
the company would gain $4,000 a
year. AS one may we'll see, these mi
nor economics cannot be ignored.

IN PLACE OF TOWPATH MULE
Giant Locomotives to Haul Ocean
Steamers Through Waters of
Panama Canal

Instead of the familiar old towpath
mule, giant electric locomotives will
move the shipping through the Pan
anna canal locks. The ordinary loco
motive would spin it's wheels fnef-
fectively upon the usual form of steel
rail when its drawbar felt the weight
of 20,000-ton warship, but the big
electric locomotives will be geared
to the tracks by a middle rail cut
into the form of a rack, giving enor-
nous traction power
Millions Of pounds of steel will be
required for the construction of these
tracks at the lock sidings, and within
the next week or two the canal COM
mission will start the work by adver-
Using for 5000 tons of track mate
rial Some of the larger items are
3,212,544 pounds of steel cross-ties,
1884, 240 pounds Of rolled steel con-
ductor slot covers, 1854 900 pounds Of
carbon steel rack castings and I,273,-
900 pounds of steel channels. About
1000 tons of 90-pound steel rails for
towing systems will also be wanted
The commission will install this
rack railroad itself, allowing two
years for the work, so as to keep pace
with the lock construction.

DOES AWAY WITH ALL DELAY
Order-Exchanslna Device for Rail-.
roads Seems to Reach the Limit
Of Ingenuity.

A new and improved tablet-exchang-
ing device, operating in very much the
same manner as the mail exchange
devices, has been adopted by the gov
eminent railroads of New South
Wales.
To digress from the subject of the
new device for moment, the system
Of train operation known as the tablet
method, used on British railroads, is
one by which the engineer receives an
order, called tablet" at every sta
ton. Several types of devices to en-
able the engine crew to pick up the
orders while train is running at full
speed have been in use, but this new
tablet exchanger is claimed to be a
great Improvement.
The principal feature of the device
is the helical or corkscrew arm on the
engine for picking up the tablet AS
the engine passes the ground ex-
changer, the point of the arm enters
the bail of the tablet and pulls the lat
ter out of the holder. The bail then
swings around the corkscrew arm and
is gradually braked or stopped by the
resistance Of the atmosphere and
comes to a rest on the arm without

The Villain Still Pursued Her.

Claiming Pollock cites certain
melodrama, produced a few years
ago on Fourteenth street, as contain
ing the busiest and most inconsistent
villain ever created.
In the first act, he tied the beautiful
heroine to railroad track just as the
limited was due. In the second, he
lured her in to an old house, locked
her in an upper room and set the place
on fire. In the third, he strapped her
under a buzz saw and set the ma
chinery in motion. In the fourth, he
tore the planking out of the Brooklyn
bridge, so that her automobile plunged
through to the raging flood below.
In the fifth act he started to make
love to her. She shrank from him.

dTOO DoldnO, VINO nold the same ONCE
In Chile, met at the international
boundary and declared the line com
plete and the railway systems of the
two republics welded together. But
a Trans-Andean railroad can hardly
be expected to do much business in
the bitter winter months of June, July
and August.
In fact the very day after the in
auguration of transcontinental traffic
the first snowfall of the season took
place, bringing the service to a tenn
porary standstill Only those who
have seen winter SHOWS in high noun
tain regions can have any conception
of the obstacles that the months in
tervening since then must have
thrown in the way of the manage
ment. The extent to which the prob
lem of winter operation was recog-
nized from the outset, however, is in
Dictated by clause in the contract
between the concessionaries and the
Chilean and Argentine governments.
1t provides that no penalty shall be
collectible for an interruption of serv-
ice during the winter months unless
it shall exceed 40 days-this despite
the precautions which have been tax
en- in the construction of the road to
protect it from avalanches, landslides
or other special mishaps.
So nobody pretends to base on the
experience Of the last months any
judgment as to whether the road will
justify its existence or not All those
interested in the question will watch
the results of the half year just be-
gun. Before the SHOWS of 1911 begin
to fall fair guess ought to be pos
sible, they think, as to whether the
road will be a success or failure.
There are many who think that it
starts out badly handicapped in at
least two particulars. The journey
from coast to coast, they say, is sub
ject to vexatious delay-that is the
first drawback; and, secondly, the
fares charged are unreasonably high,
practically prohfbftfve.
The great advantage of the road
to Chile Is, of course, that it opens a
way to the Atlantic, to eastern North
America and Europe, which eliminates
the perilous navigation of the Strait
Of Magellan and saves from ten to
twelve days in the transit from ocean
to ocean. The gain of Argentina is
that it acquires prospectfvely the con-
troll Of traffic from or to the north and
east having the Pacific littoral for
it's destination or point Of departure
reorganization Of trans-pacific trade
and travel. The new route cuts off
1000 miles and nine days from the
journey from western Europe to Aus
tralia or New Zealand and effects a
proportionate reduction in other lines
of traffic.
In certain sense the road is rival
to the Panama canal. At least it is
a precaution against some possible
consequences of the opening of that
route ChfIe's fear has been that the
canal will benefit the Pacific ports of
South America to the northward of
her at her expense and to her detri-
ment Callao is, roughly, 1000 miles
nearer to Panama than Valparaiso is
But by the combination of the railroad
with the steamship lines having their
terminal in Buenos Aires, the capital
of Chile, the railroad system of Chile
all Chile, are placed for at least half
the year in as close relations with the
markets of Europe and the eastern
United States as any section of the
south Pacific coast.
