THE SUBMARINE
AND THE WHALE.

AND THE WHALE.
There is fortune in store for the
interviewer who will discover what
whales think of submarines, The
chances are that, if their feelings could
be interpreted, astonishment would be
the most marked emotion, though
whales are so emotionless that it
would be difficult, even then, to analyze
their feelings At least such Is the
idea of certain naval officers an0 sea-
men who steered a submarine unin-
tentionaily through school of whales
or large blackfish during the maneu-
Vers of the battleships in New Eng
land waters this year. According to
an official report made on the subject
by the commanding officers of the
submarine "Stingray" there was no
interference by the whales or black
fish with the boat.
while making a submerged attack
on the battleship fleet at anchor to
the eastward of Block Island" the re-
port states, several splashes about
100 yards distant were seen through
the periscope, The splashes or spouts
resembled the splash of small shell
ana it was thought that the ships were
firing. No sign of actual firing could
be di covered, so the boat was brought
up a few feet for better observation,
and it was found that there were about
a dozen large fish, black in color, on all
sides of the submarine. AS soon as
this was determined, the boat was
again submerged and the attack con.
tinued. After making the attack and
while returning to Great Salt Pond
around the northern emo of Block Is
land, another flock of geysers' was
passed through The fish were small
whales or large blackfish, at least
twenty-five feet long and some larger
ones about thirty-five feet long They
did not interfere in any way with the
submarine"

When a man of the highest stand
ing in electrical matters says the Unit
ed States is ten years behino in fie d
of electrical progress it should be time
for Americans to wake up. Such is
their standing in the matter of the
adoption of the trackless trolley, in
successful operation in Europe for sew
eral years and only now attracting
general attention in America. Eu-
rope has at lee3t twelve or fifteen troll
ley trackless systems, says Thomas
Commerford Martin, the electrical eX
pert, authority for the statement made
above. In his Report of the Commit
tee of Progress" prepared for reading
before the convention of the National
Electrical Light association in Seat
tie, June 1914, this year, Mr. Martin
says
AN entirely new department of bust
ness for central stations is the track.
less trolley, operating on suburban
roads or in rural districts where it is
undesirable or improbable to install
tracks, so that the opportunity ignored
by trolley swstems fall as naturally to
the central stations as does the charg-
which might, of course, do the same
work
"The trackless trolley, with contact
wires overhead, has already been
adopted at numerous places in Europe,
and there are hundreds of communi-
ties in America that could be benefited
by such a service, the central station
at the same time picking up a nice
steady off peak load and having quite
frequently, already in use, the pole
lines to which the circuits can be at
tached or else securing in this new
field an additional use that will war
rant the erection Of such line. The
subject is already receiving very seri-
GUS attention ana many such installa-
tons may be looked for in the near
future"
There is at present only one track
less trolley system in operation in
America. That is in California, near
Los Angeles. 1t has been in successful
use more than a year. Four years ago
the matter was taken up in New Ha-
ven, Conn, and tests were made, but
nothing came of the venture. The sub
ject is receiving constantly growing at.
tention in Europe
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-22

AS far back as 1907 three trackless
trolley routes were operated in Aus
tria, six or seven in Italy and one or
two in Germany, according to the OFF,
cial reports Of the census bureau on
street and electric railways. A year
ago lines were opened in Leeds and
Bradford, Eng and. The description of
the vehicles and method of operation
given in the report mentioned may be
taken as descriptive of all the sys-
TENS:
The vehicles correspond in general
appearance to the single deck motor
omnibus, plus the means OF collecting
current. A double trolley method is
necessary to complete the circuit from
the wire through the motors and back
to the generating plant. On one Of
the lines in Vienna two pairs of cables
are used so that passing cars do not
have to sop and exchange connec-
tons, as on other lines and as was
done by some of the earlier electric
railway trolley systems in the United
States.
THE Austrian vehicles, which, emp
ty, weigh two and a half tons apiece,
each carry twelve passengers seated,
with standing room for twelve more.
The electric motors, each of twenty
horsepower, form the hubs of the rear
wheels, and current is leo to them by
flexible cable attached to pair Of
wheels which run on top of the wire,
a similar pair making the return cir
cult. A weighted pendulum slung from
a frame presses the wheels down upon
the wires.
1T is stated that al 1.-The systems ex-
amined operated smoothly. with few

bitches, and that owing to the compar
ative lightness of the vehicles the road
suffers leC5 than in the use of cars
carrying gasoline or other engines
The committee reports itself as much
impressed with the practicability of all
the systems for transportation feeder
purposes in sparsely set ed districts
and as a means of avoiding the heavy
expense required for the installation
Of ordinary street railways"
In addition 1t may be said that the
trackless tro ley system lends itself
very well to the purpose of those who
desire to avoid the laying of tracks in
restricted roads along which regular
means of transportation of pal sengerJ
or freight are needed The wires may
be hidden in trees at the sides of roads.
In some cases the cars have been
equipped with storage batteries so that
the wires may be left if desired and
IAS CalS Ihcu may 10 run independently

visable to hitch them again to the cen.

ton to this form of utilization of the
cars lies in the expense. of the batter.
les, in the opinion of Mr.. Martin, AND
the European ,trackless trolleys have
not been fitted generally with bates;

The flexible cable and the absence of
tracks enable the car to run on any
part of a road. overtske other car
riages or to run anywhere, accommo.
dating itself, therefore, to all sorts OF
traffic. The cost OF running the sys.
tens has been found in Europe to be
very reasonable.
