NEW TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
ing With What Is Known as the
"Turbine-EIectric."

The North British railway officials
gre predicting great things for new
trpe of locomotive, known rs the
turbine electric" which 1t has been
testing. The tests have proved salts
factory as far as they have prog
ressed. The locomotive is self
obtained, steanl~electric generating
affair Steam is generated in boiler
Of the ordinary locomotive type, fitted
with q superheater The steam is
then led to turbine of the impulse
running type, making 1900 revolu-
tlons minute. To this is directly
connected a continuous current, varia-
Bile voltage dynamo The dynamo
supplies current and pressure varying
from 200 to 600 volts to four series
wound traction motors, the armatures
of which are built on the four main
driving axles of the locomotive.
The exhaust steam from the tur-
bine passes into an ejector conden-
ser, and is eventually delivered to the
hot well. AS the steam turbine re-
quires no internal fabrication, the
condensed hot water Is free from oil
and is returned direct from the hot
we'll to the boiler by a feed pump
Thus the water evaporated by the
boiler is returned to it again and
again. A forced draft is provided by
means of small turbine driving fan
The controlling instruments are all
on the drivers platform and within
easy reach. The switchboard is
small, and the operation of the loco
motive is simple. It's inventors pre-
dict that it will make a great saving
in railroad transportation and opera
tion cost, and make electrification
fact of the near future without the
necessity of costly wiring.

Dropping Coaches on the Run.

The ingenious means by which one
of the great railroad systems of Eng
land drops passenger coaches off at
intermediate stations without slowing
UP the locomotive, even for fraction
of q second, in its speed of so or more
miles an hour is called the Slip
coach" system, and is described in
Popular Mechanics.
1t is a system never tried in Amer
lea, and consists in dropping, or slip
ping one or more of the rear coaches
just before the station is reached. I'm
doubtedly many American tourists
travelling in England, after alighting
at their destination, have been amazed
to discover that the coach which they
occupied was still beside them, while
the locomotive and the remainder of
the train were nowhere to be seen.

USE WOMEN AS INSPECTORS
IN certain Lines Railroads Find Th1t
They Do Better Work Than
Men.

every railroad that makes a spe-
cialty of fine trains and caters to
wealthy patronage must take great
care that high standard of service
Dc maintained. The best of every
! tnlng In parlor and dining car must
De provided for class of travellers
VINO nave the money to pay for lux
urles' In order to do this a close
| supervision Is required, and the of
ncials OF such road have learned that
women make the very best inspectors
1or this class Of work.
The type of woman that makes the
greatest success is the one who Is
used to good things herself, and so
|, can ORDER the most expensive meal
ana know If 1t is served correctly. But
these women are hard to find Once
louno' they have the "softest" job go
ing Three times day they are re-
CURED to enter the dining car and
order repast that will tax the wait
ers ability to serve correctly and the
pantry to supply.
All through the dinner the fnspec-
tor notes the tablecloth, whether it be
white or soiled. She makes a note of
the fact If the waiter is impudent or
surly, taking his number. If the food
ls insufficient or poorly served on
nlcked dishes her feminine mind
makes mental notation of it. If the
silver is not clean, the carpet dusty,
the water warm, or a hundred other
Things, she is supposed to corral them
al In her memory until she embod-
les them in a written report. The
same rigid inspection of the parlor
car is another of her duties, and in
c1dentally while doing both she must
look out for grating on the part of
the employees, walters in particular
The woman who does this kind of
work may be either young or old, but
she must be refined and have the ap-
pearance of being an old traveller. A
woman who is travelling for pleasure
Is usually the pose adopted On each
trip she makes an inspection of as
many tables and as many walters as
she can without arousing suspicion

Poor Mans Investment.

According to the Electric Railway
Journal, one of the best investments
which 1t is possible for man to make
is when he spends 5 cents for a street
car ride of ordinary length, say, three
miles or so. The man who earns as
little as Is cents an hour for his labor
would, in walking to his work, con
sumo at least 10 cents worth of time,
instead of the cents spent on the
street car. In addition to this, the
nickel surrendered to the street car
company is an assurance to him
against accident, while if he rides in
an automobile, or even if he walks
to his work, he would be obliged to
pay all damages in case of accident.
Furthermore, the time spent on the
street car can be spent in reading.

Tunnel Docs Away With Ferries.

The two-track tunnel of the Michi-
gan Central railroad, which for sew
eral years has been under construc-
tion beneath the Detroit river. be-
tween Detroit and Windsor, Ont. has
been opened for service. It was con-
sidered desirab BILE to familiarize the
operating staff of the railroad with
conditions before passenger service
was inaugurated and therefore the
first trains run through were freight
trains. This tunnel will take the
place of the powerful railroad car fer
ries, which for so many years have
been prominent feature in transpor.

New Crossing Warming Apparatus.

Instruments provided are trolley car
bell and two electric lights
About fifteen hundred feet from the
highway crossing thus protected, a
number of six-foot sections of contact
rails are holted to the regular tracks.
To these are connected starting relays
in such manner that the tread of the
wheels makes contact as the car
passes over, but there are no moving
parts. The passing of car over the
contact making device simply starts
the mechanism actuating the pendu-
lum and gong, which, being provided
with a timing element, runs a given
length of time before stopping, thus
warning all who approach.

FEDERATION OF LABOR
HOLDS WARM MEETING
Woman's Report Starts. InVesti-
CATION of Alleged Fitzpatrick
Letter.

The controversy over "a letter
alleged to have been written by
President Fitzpatrick of .he Chi
cago Federation of Labor, urging
the defeat of the worknen's
compensation bill before the state
legislature. was revived at yester-
days meeting of the local body by
Miss Anna Willard, a delegate to
the state. convention, a few weeks
ago. An investigation was or
dered.
When the matter was UP before
the state convention at Spring
field, Fitzpatrick sent telegram
that he had not given w. M. Ros-
sell, in whose hands the letter was
said to have been seen, such a pa
per, and his statement, was &C
cepted by the convention. .
Miss Willard, who, was the on
ly delegate who protested when
the state body, indorsed the COM
pensation act, said in her report
yesterday that F. R: Wright,
president of the state federation,
had accused Fitzpatrick of hav-
ing instructed Rossell to lobby
against the act.
Discussion by several. dele
gates made it evident that such
letter had been written, but it was
addressed to John O'Neill, chair
man of the legislative committee
of the Chicago Federation of La
bor,, and,not Rossell, in whose
hands it was seen.
Rossell, at yesterdays meet

ing, said chad been given a let
ter instEucting him to lobby
against the bill, and that it was
signed by Fitzpatrick and adj
dressed to John O'Neill.
President Wright, who was
present yesterday, reiterated that
he, had seen, the letter.
81 repeat the charge said
Wright. Il saw the letter signed
by Fitzpatrick denouncing the
compensation law, and Rossell
showed it to every legislator he
could reach. II do not know to
whom the letter was addressed"
. President Fitzpatrick appoint
ed the committee to investigate
the matter today, and report to
the next meeting.
