The fact that the new Liberty Motor

WORK OUT HARRlMAN'S IDEA
Electrically Operated Railroad Has
Been Running Successfully for
Some Months.

Several months ago the st. Paul rail
road opened a section of electrically
equipped line on the Montana noun
tain divide. 1t was one of the most
heavily graded sections of the entire
transcOntinental system. A great wa
ter power had been harneSsed, CON
verified into hydro-electricity and was
utilized by specially constructedaelec-
trio locomotives.
Some of the results of this expert
ment are now being studied by trans
pOrtatiOn and engineering experts,
after a sufficient observation to make
definite conclusions safe. 1t is found
that the wear of both wheels and rails
is much reduced because in going
down grade the motors are turned into
generators, and, acting as brakes, hold
back the speed of the train, and store
up in electrical power the energy of
gravitation that pulls the train down
hill.
The experience is fast convincing
railroad men that in time and prob
ably not so very long a time, electric
ity will succeed steam as railroad
power wherever sufficient water power
is available. Edward II. Hartman
lsed to say that practically everything
west of the Missouri would before
many decades be operated by electric
ity The st. Paul has provided the
practical demonstration of what Har-
riman's splendid vision saw ahead, and
what Hartman would doubtless have
| accomplished if he had lived.
East, West and South, there is wa
ter power everywhere going to waste.
We think of the middle West as least
endowed in this regard, yet the big
gest power development in the world
aside from Niagara is in the mid
Vests very heart-the Keokuk project
on the Mississippi. There is no limit
that can yet be conceived, to the use
of hydro-electricity.

SPRAY PAINT ON STEEL CARS
Hose Does the Work Quickly, and the
Results Are All That Could
Be Desired.

If Kipling had only waited long
enough before saying it, our picture
might have given him his idea about
painting with comets tail for brush
and the sky for a canvas. However
the painters shown in the accompany
ing illustration are not artists and their
canvas is not the sky but two brand
new steel boX-cars which have just
emerged from the shop.
This is the fastest and most econom-
ical method of painting yet devised.
The paint is first vaporized and then
forced through the hose and sprayed ON
the cars by compressed air.
While the photographer was adjust
ing his camera for snapshot the ends
of both these cars were painted, which
gives an idea of how rapidly the work
is accomplished.-Popular Science

1t was but folded envelope of note

proved to be a sheet of paper contain

Running Trains Through Foo.

The safety movement requires con-
slant vigilance if it is to produce the
best results. Relaxation of effort to
secure careful operation leads to the
recurrence of accidents. A report of
the interstate commerce commission
deals with the accident on the New
York Central lines at Cleveland on
March 20 last, in which "a persons
were killed and AZ were injured. The
commission finds that the engineer,
running in foggy weather, passed sig
nails which he either could not see or
failed to heed. Attention is directed
by the commission to the fact that the
same engineer had been guilty Of sim
liar Offenses on other occasions. The
testimony showed that all three of the
fast trains involved in the wreck were
making up time in the night. Employ
ees asserted that foggy weather was
not usually deterrent to the speed of
trains.
The facts brought out by the inter-
state commerce commission in cOnnec-
ton with this wreck indicate the need
Of continued watchfulness and consci-
entious care on the part of railroad
officials to guard against the reckless
operation of trains.--Chicago News.

American Enoines for Russia.

That the Russians have made extern
sive plans for establishing easily-ad-
Unstable rail communication between
various divisions of their fighting
armies and between the armies and the
supply bases, Is shown by the fact that
the Russian government has ordered
$50 liquid-fuel locomotives of a special
type from a Philadelphia locomotive
works. These tractors weigh 7b tons
each and run on tracks approximately
291a inches wide. These narrow-gauge
tracks can be moved about easily. Ac-
cOrding to Russian officials the engines
may be used in the trenches as well as
at the rear. Each has pulling ca
pacity Of from twenty-five to fifty tons,
depending on the condition of the
track.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
