SEE END OF BIG TERMINALS
Away With Present Costly
'- Buildings.

II has been predicted that the two
great railway passenger terminals in
New York city will be the last of their
kind to be built in the United States
and 1t is entirely possible that this is
true
The plan Of gathering large num-
bers of people from many points and
delivering them In a confused mass
all together at point varying from a
quarter of a mile to FIVE miles from
places where they desire to be is
crude survival from the time when
cities were smaller and travellers
much fewer in number.
In the modern city the railways
bringing passengers from all parts OF
the country will necessarily be operat-
ed as portions of the local transport
systems. SO that the entire city will
form the terminal and the train. pass
ing around the underground railway
will permit individuals to descend at
stations reasonably near to their per-
sonal destinations
Such service will so far outweigh
any idea of the desire for imposing
architectural terminal structures that
1t is already evident that the railway
first providing such distribution of its
passengers will materially outdistance
its rivals.
Already in New York the co-opera-
ton of the Hudson tunnel system with
the railroad is making the new ter
minal station obsolete, and is showing
the way to provide for the real con.
venience of the travelling public What
the result would be if the entire sub
way system of the city formed the
true terminal of all railways per.
mitted to enter may we'll be consid
cred before any more great stations
are built.-Cassier's Magazine.

New Block SiunaI Idea,

Many of the suburban railway COM
panies are installing a system of
block signaling which makes use Of
electric lights exclusively and dis
penses entirely with the semaphore,
The system is economical and very eff
fective by day or night. Metallic fila
ment lamps are used, placed behind
large red and green lenses, and the
entire outfit is mounted in q sunbon-
net-shaped hood to enable the lights
to be seen by day. With only the
light indications, no motor driven
mechanism is required. Experiments
on the arrestiveness CT these signals
show that they can be seen plainly
1900 feet on bright day from a car
moving at about 40 miles per hour 1t

signals given by reflection from the
headlight Of the approaching car.

are about seventy-two feet long and
weigh ninety tons each. Each car is
fitted with four electric motors. two

power in all. Day by day the speed
was increased until the velocity of
1870 miles per hour was reached. 1t
was the opinion of conservative en-
gineers that $50 miles per hour could
be had. Less conservative engineers
placed the limit at 200 miles per hour.

Character of Dickens.

A fine estimate of the character of
literary achievements of Charles Dick
ems is given by Vladimir Nabokoff, a
Russian admirer, in the London Dick
ensian. He notes that beyond his
own work, Dickens took little interest
in general literature. In his lettors
one meets with the same sparkling hu-
NOR, the same joy of living, the same
variety as in his novels, but one al
most never feels that he Is profess
sional literary man. One finds no trace
of criticism. He seems to ignore
everything done in literature outside
and apart from himself He was no
bookish man. Life for him was more
interesting than books. 1t was not
the reading of books that influenced
his work. No artistic theories are to
be gained from a study of Dickens.
He had no fixed literary dogmas. He
established no school. He had no sue
cessors. He was not didactic," says
Nabokoff, "but moral lessons flow
naturally from his writings as they
flow from life itself"
