STOCKHOLM, June IA silent
railway motor car without engine vi.
brations has been achieved, and
during it's recent trial run over the
Swedish State Railways from Malmoe
to Stockholm the passengers heard
no other noise than that Of the wheels
clicking against the rail joints. 1t
is the design Of a Swedish engineer,
Magnus Tacklind of Stockholm, but
has been manufactured in Germany.
Except for certain motor parts 1t
will later be built in Sweden.
The absence of the noise and Tibra-
ton is due to the fact that the motor
is not placed on the same frame as the
passenger car itself. but is entirely
isolated from it, being slung under
meath. The power is transferred to
the driving axle from the motor
through five different sets Of gears,
which are kept going all the time to
make the driving smoother. The
speed attained reached over so miles
an hour. while the consumption OF
fuel, a. mixture Of benzine and ben.
zol, averaged about eight miles to the
gallon, or about twice that of an ordl-
nary taxicab. Its seating capacity
Is 60 persons, but a trailer with the

NEW TYPE MEGAPH0NE
SPREADS SOUND BETTER
University of Illinois Professor
Invention Radically Different
in Construction.
snecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
URBANA, ILL.,, June ia new
megaphone which distributes sound
over a greater area has just been de-
veloped by Prof F. r. Watson of the
University Of Illinois, authority on
acoustics. Already cheer leaders at
the Universities Of Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota have adopt
ed the new instrument and indica-
tions are that it's use soon will be-
come widespread.
The megaphone is constructed of
tin; it is only a foot and half in
length and, strangest of all, has only
a narrow rectangular opening. 1t is
almost fiat in appearance and is used
in a horizontal position, with the rec
tangular opening in a vertical plane.
Construction of the megaphone is
based on the sound fraction theory
that sound passing through a narrow
aperture spreads out. The ordinary
megaphone differs from Prof. Wat
sons in that sound passing through
it tends to travel only along the axes
Of the megaphone and not sideways.
1t permits only those in front of the
announcer to hear.
Sounds issued through the narrow
opening Of the new megaphone
spread out in a wide area. The com.
monty used megaphone can be used
only to direct sound audibly along
one plane.
