NEW DIRECT CURRENT
FOR RAILWAY POWER.
Hewitt Says His System Will Drive
Trains Long Distances.

Peter Cooper Hewitt of New York,
grandson of Peter Cooper, inventor of
the electric lamp that bears his name,
| after several years work has invented
vacuum transformer by which Ii is
possible to change an alternating cleo
trical current into n direct current, by
which trains can be operated entirely
by electricity with the power stations
200 miles apart
The inventor says that with this di-
rect current trains can be operated be-
tween New York and Chicago with
only three or four intervening power
stations, while it will be possible to
operate them across the continent.
The invention has been tested by the
Westinghouse company in Pittsburgh,
and these tests, it is said. give every
Indication of accomplishing all that
Mr.. Hewitt expects. He has named
the current the negative reluctance"
With this new current, he says, trains
will be able to make a speed of 100
miles an hour, aud its perfection may
mean the eventual electrification of
every railroad In the United States.
On line from New York to New Or
leans probably not more than half q
dozen power stations would be needed.
while to San Francisco probably not
more than fifteen power plants would
be required.
Mr.. Hewitt said he believed his in
vention would revolutionize railroad

CHAPTER ".

1t was at this critical period oil
my escape which, when detailed to
the public in my lectures through.
out the western States caused un.
usual comments by the press. Some
maintained that 1t would be impos-
sible for a person in my exhausted
condition at that time, consequent
on my long Imprisonment, to pass
through the trying ordeal to which
l was subjected by this home guard
who completed my capture-at the
time | knocked on the bottom OF
that kitchen door, asking for food,
then in the last stage of starvation.
But the comrades of the Grand Army
stood by me, and believed. They
knew that such atrocities as partici-
pated upon me when recaptured
(Which at this late date, to relate
would cause unnecessary contro-
versy and add but a little to the
interest of my story was common
with these men when upon the trail
of an escaped prisoner of war.
wish my readers to understand l do
not charge these prosecutions to the
regular enlisted soldier who did his
fighting at the front, where you
found the man of courage, but to
the home guard-human vampires
dressed in the cloth of the Southern
soldier, to which they were no more
entitled than Old Nick would be to
the sacred robes of Heaven. These
scavengerS for blood, men who were
void of honor when the demon of
their nature was temporarily van
quished and the spirit of goodness
illuminated their soul; men capable
to dark deeds who repelled the least
suspicion of a thought that tended
towards mercy. These were the peo-
pie that trailed and bounded the
prisoner of war that would dare to
break away, and make an effort for
liberty.
1t was these vicious agencies that
deferred many from making an ef-
fort to get away from these pens of
pestilence and vermin, knowing from
others experience, who had tried and
failed, that there was a slight chance
to succeed, but stronger one to lose
ones life. The swamps and the val
leys were often whitened with their
bleaching bones. In all due fairness
to the Southern soldier to maintain
their escape, the men who fought val
iantly at the front, l must draw the
line and separate them from these
merciless whelps that were placed
over prisoners of war, or that hung
upon the outskirts of a prison
ready to hunt them down.
When the Southern Confederacy
called it's roll of men heartless and
and placed them in charge,
they could not have selected more
fiendish set had the gates of He'll
been opened to them, but all this was
by a few-not all.
Six hundred and thirty-five days
in their different prisons gave me a
thorough knowledge of the class that
were upholding their cause.
There were scenes and occurrences
in my prison life that were l to tell
you of ten minutes happenings each
day, in the way l see them, would
discount fiction and qualify you to
Judge as to their character as SOL
diers.
