City: TO USE ELECTRICITY. 6uspension Railroad Being Con- structed in Germany. Jonsul Writes That He Understands It Is the First Railroad of Kind Ever Used for Carrying of Passengers. At Barmes, Germany, an electric suspension railway is being construct- ed. When completed it will consist of a double-railed line eight miles long with 18 stations. It is being con- structed according to a single over- head railway system of the Langen patent. In a report to the state de- partment on this subject Consul Bouchsein says: “This is, I under- stand, the first suspension railway for the conveyance of passengers that has been built. The road commences at Barmen-Rittershausen and follows the River Kupper through the thickly populated cities of Barmen and Elber feld. “Beyond Elberfeld the line extends toward the west as far'as Vohwinkel, leaving the river at Sonnborn and run- ning over the public highway to Voh- winkel. The marginal gradient is 4.5 per cent. All gradients and curves are yo ‘arranged as to avoid a decrease of speed in the main lines. framework over the river is supported by buttress piers of ironwork inclined toward each other; but in the publie highways the structure is supported by vertical iron columns which re- quire no more space than lantern posts. “The cars are suspended on two ro- tary bogies, 26 feet in length. Each truck, or bogie, has two axles, be- tween which an electromoter of 36 horse-power at 500 volts is arranged. The frame surrounds the rail carrier in such a manner that the wheels can- not slip off in case a fitting breaks or there is some other mishap. The cur- rent is,fed by a contact shoe from @ rail. “The speed will be regulated in the same manner as in electric street cars. The traveling speed is supposed to be 25 miles per hour. It takes only from ten to fifteen seconds to start; so that, in spite of the 18 stations of the road, an average speed of 18% miles per hour will be maintained. Each car holds 50 passengers and is divided into first and second-class and smok- ing compartments. “The number of cars in the makeup of a train is not limited, but at first each train will consist of one or two ears only, although the station plat- forms are so arranged thet a four-car train can receive and unload pessen- gers. The speed of the trains is not dependent on the number of cars, as each car has its own motor.” A PROMISING OUTLOOK. £ig Business Certain for the Tehaun. tepee Railroad Now Under Con- straction in Mexico, Work is now going on in the re vonstruction of the Tehuantepec rail- road across the narrowest part of Mexico and gives assurance that the road will be as solid and of as per- manent a character as the Vera Cruz railroad, As the Tehuantepec road will have a maximum grade of half per cent. compensated, it will be in a position to handle any traffic that can be secured on very economical terms. At present the Panama rail- road handles 300,000 tons of freight’ per annum, 60 per cent. of which ig destined for or arises at ports nortk of Panama. The bulk of this uat- urally belongs to Tehuantepec. In ad- dition, however, the road will capture a large volume of the traflic at pres- ent carried by railroads to the Pa- cific coast from the Mississippi valley and it is confidently anticipated that this railroad will be doing as large a trade as the Panama within five years from its opening, The distance from Coatzacoaleos to San Francisco via Salina Cruz is 100 miles less than the distance from New Orleans to San Francisco via the Southern Pacific, and the distance across the gulf from New Orleans to Coatzacoalcos.is only 800 miles, and within a very few years there will be daily service boats be- tween the two ports. AGED LOVERS WED. They Renew Youthful Vows After 5 Separation of Over Half a Century. A wedding of romantic interest oc- eurred at Rushville, Ind., the othe: evening in which the happy couple, now well along in years, were sweet- hearts 55 years ago in Rush county. The groom, William D. Westerfield, a wealthy farmer of Manila, Rush county, is 74 years of age and the bride, Mrs. Helen J. Conway, of New York city, who came to. Rushville to wed the lover of her girlhood days, ~ 72, but a well-preserved and good- looking woman. The ceremony was performed by Justice Poe. William D. Westerfield and Helen Thomas were schoolmates in Walker township 65 years ago. Their childish acquaintance ripened into love and they grew to be sweethearts as the years advanced. In the spring of 1848 they expected to marry, but un- foreseen circumstances crossed their path of happiness and caused them to drift apart. Afterward both were married. Mrs. Conway’s husband died two years ago and Mr, Westerfield’s wife passed away one year ago. ato PATENT T Good Mass our bent THE PATENT cna Subscriptions to The Patent Record 43.00 per: The iron | THe STRAIGHT “AWAY.

Even: if itdia fo more than to compel its devotees to spend a certain portion of their time:in the open air, much! would be achieved; but the opportu- ; nity thus afforded of filling the Jungs with fresh air, and thus oxygenating the blodd, is in a large number of cases, rendered valueless by the per- nicious habit of bending forward over the handle bars. But this is not the only evil. It issafe to say that not one bicycle rider in six has the saddle properly adjusted to physical needs. In the tirst place, a great many riders ride with the saddle post too high, yet nothing is more simple than to get the correct height of the saddle. When seated on the saddle, with one pedal down to its lowest point, the hollow of the foot should rest easily on the pedal—this is absolutely cor- rect. Then again, the saddle ahould be sufficiently forward so as to bring the Tider immediately over his work; thus he gets the best effects with the least expenditure of force, the saddle is too far back an undue amount of exettion is imposed upon the legs, and it necessitates leaning forward, cramping the lungs, and consequently accel¢ ing the heart’s yn.
