When the underlying lifting or leyitatins
magnets are excited they raise the carrier
bodily into the air a quarter Of an inch,
and It floats there without contact below
except where the electric brushes are forced
downward against the live rails
In the model working section. the car or
carrier weighs forty pounhs-this repre-
sents the weight of a car and its load IN
this case. The car body. for the simple
p purpose OF demonstration, is Of iron, ard
weighs thirty-two pounds, and underneath
Is the levitating platform or foundation OF
aluminium which is only fourth al heavy.
Remembering the experiments TO which we
have referred, the purpose Of the aluminium
platform should be plain; the eddy or Fou-
caut currents can not pass through THIS
non-magnetic metal, and. therefore, raise
the platform with its burden of magnetic
metal Now, when the vehicle has thus
been poised in the ARA lift OF a quarter
of an inch being Just as effective as rise
Of hundred feet for the purpose OF get
ting rid OF the FRACTIONAL resistance Of heavy
track contact. then the car is free TO be
driven or impelled forward most effectively
BY the expenditure OF any fixed amount OF
energy.
There are several ways by which the car
could be moved onward, but Mr.. Bachelet
prefers 10 do this by employing magnet
ism. We shall therefore understand why he
makes his car body Of iron or steel-metals
which we know are attracted by his ex-
cited coils
Just once so often along the line Mr..
Bachelet places what are termed solenoids
These are really merely another form OF
electro -magnets-being, in fact. magnets
without cores, and the would-be cores are
the masses Of iron or steel in the cars
which the solenoids attract toward them
When these solenoids are excited by an
electric current of the proper kind they
generate a magnetic field. and this field.
because there is no intervening or blanket
ing screen of aluminium or any other anti
magnetic metal, can exert its full strength
upon the iron or steel body Of the car and
draw It forward at great speed through
the air The solenoids could not do this
IL the car rested with it's full weight upon
the underlying live rails. Again, the So
lenolds must be operative only so long az

FORMER PRESIDENT OF ARKAN-
sAs MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
AT THE MAJESTIC.
Says State Should Treat Inebriates
Like Minnesota--Loss Of Mental
Powers Comes From stimuants.

DR.. r. c. Dorr, former president of
the Arkansas Medical association,
who is making a short stay at the
Majestic hotel, holds to the belief
that inebriates should be protected by
the law in Arks,lsas as they are in
Minnesota, where it is a criminal Of
Tense to give drunkard intoxicating
liquor, punishable by IMPRISONMENT.
Or. Dorr tried several years ago to
have the legislature OF Arkansas pass
a bill to this effect. but ii was de-
feated. He believes that from a
medical standpoint an inebriate is
Incapable of taking care of himself
and should be under the charge Of
an institution which can subject him
to treatment In Minnesota. an in
ebriate is placed in sanitorium,
where he is kept until he is brought
to state OF good health. After this
he is paroled on good behavior, but
if he falls agan, his term OF impfis.
ment is doubled. This is found to
have beneficial effect upon young
drunkards who dread the less of their
liberty as well as the stigma of sen
tence as an inebriate.
"It Is generally known" said Dr.
Dorr, that much of the Incompetence
existing Is due to the use OF drugs
or Intoxicating drinks or two diseases
which have given to offspring de-
generate body or mind II these drugs
and these diseases could be destroyed
-and they will be in some years-the
incompetency of people win be great

BOSTON PARTY OF
PLAYERS HERE
RED SOCKS OF THE AMERICAN
LEAGUE ON THE SCENE TO
BEGIN SPRING TRAINING.
Tim Murnane, Dean of the Baseball
Scribes, the Same Happy Optimist
on Weather Conditions.

i the The smiles and the optimism OF
genial Tim Murnane, the dean of
baseball scribes, who arrived yester-
day with the Boston baseball party,
does not court the Weather Man into
cloudless skies and clean diamond
within a very few days. there is no
hope for the situation.
Yesterday morning the remainder
of the Jake Stahl party arrived at the
Eastman hotel, and regardless of the
gloom which hung n heavy pail over
the colony of impatient ball players
at that hostelry, the situation grew
hopeful.
And just to prove That Hot Springs
is going to be encouraged in turning
out some of the brand of weather sub
iect to the approval of anxious major
leaguers, the Boston bunch donned
their uniforms in the afternoon and
tossed ball all over the Eastman
lawn, much to the edification of the
crowd that gathered on the balcony.
"The weather has been bad every
where, smiled Tim Murnane. Down
in Augusta the fields have been wet,
and everywhere in the south, the field
of the spring training, it has been
the same. SO the teams will all nave
an even break until the good weather
comes, and then they will work the
harder to get in training.
That is the way this optimist looks
at the situation, and certainly that is
hopeful
The Boston Americans trained here
two years ago. and had very good
weather throughout their stay The
next year they selected California,
and out there encountered very bad
weather, and it just happened that
March of last year, when they were
away, was as ideal a meath as eve;

fondest dreams.
