such that when it is multiplied by the num-
Der of tons saved the product would coun-
teract the greater first cost of electric equip
ment
A first class steam locomotive costs about
100000, a first class electric locomotive
about S130,000 (Parenthetically It may be
noted here that the cost of locomotive
999, the finest OF its day, was s13,O00.)
The only railroad operating by electric
ity for long distances is the Chicago Mil
waukee and St Paul. 1t has stretch OF
440 miles east OF Avery Idaho and another
OF 209 miles between Othello, Wash, and
Seattle. Very low cost is made possible
by cheap water power and by regenerative
braking-that is, the locomotive, by fric-
tion while sliding down the mountains,
generates electricity which is put back into
the trolley and delivered to other locomo-
tives climbing the mountains. about 20 per
cent. Of the current used being "regener-
ated' in this way.
Crude as were the first steam trains that
startled our forefathers 100 years ago, 1t
is interesting to note. while talking of
speed, that high rate of progress was
attained quite early. The first railroad

twelve miles an hour and when thirty
miles an hour was suggested 1t was said
that such fearful velocity would with
out doubt have the most disastrous effects
upon the circulation OF the blood and vital
organs"
But in the '40s British express made
eighty miles an hour. In 1912, on the
Great Western, there was a run between
London and Slough of eighteen miles in
fifteen minutes, and In 1S4S run between
london and Didcot, flfty-three miles, in
forty-seven minutes. That was the period
of the battle of the gauges" when the
advocates OF the broad and Of the narrow
gauges were trying to down each other.
In the '90s the achievement of the EN-
pire State Express caused the British peo-
pie to demand that their roads give an
account Of themselves. The result was a
British train, out to do or die, with the bit
in its teeth, averaging 63.3 miles an hour.
including stops, from London to Aberdeen.
This took the record from the Empire State
Express, but the New York Central came
back on September IL, 1895, with a racing
train which slogged the 438 miles between
New York and Buffalo in hours and 81
minutes. This was at the rate Of 64.22
miles an hour including stops and once
more America was ahead
Engine 900 waa designed by the late
The New York herald., 1921-08-07

The Teutonic and Majestic. commissioned
in 1890, were faster by fraction OF knot.
In 1894 along came the Lucania, % knot
boat bridging New York and Queenstown
in days hours 23 minutes. Then, in
1900, arose the Hamburg American Line,
with the speediest thing afioat, the Deutsch-
land, startling the marine world by pass
ing from New York to Plymouth in days
hours 3S minutes, an average Of 23.51
knots. Thus the gauntlet was thrown be-
fore the North German Lloyd, which re
torted by launching the Kaiser Wilhelm ii.
in 1903 and the Kronprinzessin Cecilie in
1907. These marked the last Of the rela-
lively small high speed steamships. The
Kaiser Wilhelm III. made a record from
Plymouth to New York of days hours 16
minutes. an average of 235S knots.
"The next advance" said Mr.. Gibbs, was

Atlantic, and her knot speed is also the
highest. On a run in January, 1911, she
made 676 knots in a day, an hourly aver
age of 27.04.
The average man." said w. F. Gibbs,
chief of construction of the international
Mercantile Marine, to the writer, does not
appreciate what a task it is to increase
ocean speed by a single knot"
Progress has indeed been slow. The
speed precocity OF the steam locomotive on
land was not duplicated In the case of the
steamship. Going back to 1910, we find the
Britannia crossing from Liverpool to Bos-
ton in IA days, at an average speed OF Sh
knots. Eighteen years later the Great
Eastern, between Liverpool and New York,
averaged 14.6 knots.
But the Great Eastern was ship ahead

So much for the railroads. How about
steamships? Are they moving any faster
than formerly? Warships are, for speed
is half their battle, and they need not
count the cost; but not merchantmen. The
Cunarder Mauretania crossed the Atlantic,
from Daunt's Rock. off Queenstown, to the
Ambrose Channel Lightship, between Sep
tember IL and Is, 1910, in 4 days. 10 hours
and Al minutes. She has never done as
well since, and no other ship has done as
well. The feat OF the Mauretania, nearly
eleven years ago, is the record for the

of her time" remarked Mr.. Gibbs. Not
until 1900 was she surpassed in size, and
she had many features which have been
repeated in modern liners"
Another fast ship, the Scotia, came from
Liverpool to New York in 1866 in days
hours and As minutes. Fourteen years
later, in 1881, the City of Rome set new
IL knot average for the passage from Liver
pool to New York. The ambition of de-
signers then was to build steamship
capable Of sustained speed at 20 knots.
The first to make over 20 knots on trans
atlantic trip was the City Of Paris. In
1889 this first twin screw Atlantic liner,
forerunner of the express steamships as we
know them now, crossed in 5 days IA hours
and "a minutes. Her average was 2O7
knots. 1t had taken forty-nine years to
pull up from a speed of sk to 20 knots.

Real Cause of Sweltering Days Even Is Meas
ured Inaccurately by Weather Sharps

NAV still be a high percentage of humidity,
close to 100 per cent Under such circum-
stances there would be no relief, unless the
temperature fell faster than the evaporation
takes place: which is generally the case
after a thunderstorm and after sunset.
AT night the atmosphere naturally con-
tracts through radiation Of heat and II the
amount of moisture remains equally as
high as during the day local thunderstorms
occur.
The air is generally dryest about noon
and most moist about midnight. though the
amount OF vapor present is the same.
Humanity suffers more from moist heat
than from dry heat; the reason being that
when the atmosphere Is moist bodily per-
spiration is not readily evaporated and one
feels sticky and very uncomfortable, " not
considerably enervated. but when the tenn
perature is high and the atmosphere dry one
Immediately feels relief from cooling by
evaporation.
During periods OF high humidity the
atmosphere becomes a storehouse for cleo
trlcty. At such times our bodily supply
leaves us with the loss of that power we
soon become weakened and exhausted. With
the return of a dry atmosphere our bodies
become more endurable
The present method OF measuring humid
ity is very crude and not at all satisfactory,
and its utility has been question for many
years. It is not accurate for many reasons
and should not be so considered
The practice is TO fasten two thermometers
upon two vertical strips Of metal situated
