RAILWAY ELECTRIF|CATION
A. Vast Work Put in Operation by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Company.

Initial tests of the greatest electriti
cation work ever put into operation by
transcontinental railway company
will take place this week, when officers
and directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul Railway, together
with officials of the General Electric
Company will tour completed sections
Of the roads four hundred and forty
mile electrified district which traverses
the Belt Mountains, the Rocky Noun
tains and the Bitter Root Range.
The official test train, which will
consist of three special cars, will start
from Three Forks, Montana, and make
a run over section of the line which
will afford fair criterion of the whole
enterprise in which the 'St, Paul
road has been engaged for three years
and upon which it has spent 500, 900, 900
The Especial will be hauled by one
Of the new 100000 electric locomo-
tives, the largest electrical machines
ever built for traction purposes. The
up to seventy miles an hour, though
sixty miles is about the maximum
will be required of locomotives in haul
ing the all steel passenger trains which
are to make their first mountain trips
under electrical propulsion shortly
after the first of the year.
The electric locomotive which has
supplanted that operated by steam in
mountain work ON the "St. Paul.
makes light of snow trouble that often
stalled it's predecessor, for the reasons
that it is enormously heavier, weight
26O tons, and more powerful, being of
2,4OO horsepower, as we'll as because in
the coldest weather, when steam loco
motives reach the minimum of eff1cien
cy, the electric locomotive on the con-
trary reaches it's maximum of power.
At one stroke the "St. Paul. has done
away with snow trouble and other de-
lays incident to inclement weather as
we'll as practically doubling the, load
that can be hauled.
Following are some of the most strik
ing advantages Of the electric locomo
tives:
Operates with the highest efficiency
in the coldest weather.
Requires inspection only once in
every 1000 miles of travel.
Carries no tender and has no boiler,
uses no coal, requires no water.
The locomotives are l12 feet long,
weigh 284 tons and have eight drive
wheels.
They are the first electric locomotives
with direct current motors, designed to
use as high potential as 5000 volts.
The passenger locomotives are geared
to haul 800 tons at 60 miles an hour;
freight locomotives will haul $500 tons
trailing on a 1 per cent grade at speed
of Is miles per hour.

Psychology Of Practice.


The question of short versus long
periods of practice In training the hui.
man muscles for any particular kind
Of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by Dr.. X. 8. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton Of skill in archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third. forty shots. The re.
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved In accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency Of
short periods Of practice continuing
for many days Is In accordance with
the results Of the study Of animals
and of speech habits In man. and In
dicates that In training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man, the
length Of practice periods required 10
usually too great for maximum eff
fciency." scientific American.
