MULTlPLE-UNlT TRAINS.

AS logical consequence OF the electric
locomotive we now have the multiple
unit trains for suburban service-trains
that virtually duplicate those OF our sub
way. These are somewhat more flexible
than the employment OF electric locomo-
lives. because every alternate car has It's
own motor even though all OF them are
controlled from the leading position at
the head of the front car. These trains
are better suited for making frequent
balts and because OF the distribution Of
their motive power they easily acquire
beadwav and attain full speed again
after each stop.

WORK OF THE HARBOR SQUAD

One OF the bravest feats by the haroor
police in recent years was the rescue OF
party wrecked on Hogs Back. in Little
Hell Gate A member of the squad, In
tempestuous storm. had 10 go overheard
with line and swim TO the disabled
craft before rescue could be effected.
The Board OF Aldermen increased the
work OF the squad in recent years by
placing a ban on unnecessary harbor
noises and the mufflng OF motorboat ex-
hausts. Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice and her anti
noise society had for a long time fought
the narbOr nuisanCes. Some or her
friends counted TWO thousand "toots"
from tugboats in the Hudson River while
spending the evening in her residence on
Riverside Drive, which she later forsook.
other persons joined in the war on the
ut-put-put' Of the motorboats
In one case brought to the attention OF
the police a tugboat captain was accused
OF opening up the siren of his boat every
night at u O'Clock TO let MS crew know II
was time TO return 20 the craft. They. II
developed, were in the habit OF playing
pnochle in saloon two blocks from the
waterfront and drinking quantities of
beer AS. the latter was more TO their
liking than work. often the whistle blew
for fifteen minutes, waking the whole
neighborhood.
These nuisances have not all been
abated by any means. but they have been
decreased by the vigilance OF the water
cops" The residents Of the Jamaica
Bay section were just as loud In their
denunciations OF the motor boats which
were used by fishing excursionists who
left their moorings before daylight and
walked every one UP.
Another phase OF the work OF the harbor
squadron is the protection of households,
IN increasing number OF which are con-
stantly being launched. They must be
maintained in a sanitary way. and specific
laws have been passed for their regula-
ton and point Of mooring

THE STORAGE BATTERIES.

These same storage batteries have still
another helpful duty to perform. The

heavy trains by electric traction cause
sudden and violent variations In the drain
upon the source OF power. Ordinarily
these stresses are nurtful tn the electric
Installations In the case OF the New
York Central the batteries are called into
service automatically and by their re-
serve energy they neutraize these varia-
tions and reduce wear and tear, which
might otherwise occasion big eXpendi-
lures for repairs. This. In part, probably
explains why this particular road has
suffered so few Interruptions OF service
within its electrified zone, and II also
shows how thoroughly the experts worked
out the whole system at the very start.
There is one feature of the New York
Central electrified zone which is vitality
important 10 the efficient management Of
this system. We must use this road as
an example because OF its pioneer I'm
portance Because Of the complex nature
of the equipment, 1t was early realized
that each division OF the organization
should be within easy reach. II was
deemed necessary that there should he
no dependence upon uncertain interme-
date facilities. Therefore. "A complete
independent telephone system was in
stalled. and In this way every section OF
the electric zone Is in intimate touch with
its associate division. and uninterrupted
vocal communication can thus be main
tanned between section heads and the re-
sponsible operators. The guiding brains
are thus brought to focus. and de-
gree of cooperative efficiency Is obtained
