MONDAY INE 10, 1850 LESS THAN A NILE A MINUTE. The Wonderful Railway For tho Transportetion of Mail FROM BOSTON TO NEW YORK. A Pockage of Letters Can Be Sent the Entire Distance in Two Honrs—What the Struce ture Looks Like. Another Electric Wonder. The present generation hasscen so many wonderful inventions of scienco and so many remarkable appliances to meoet the various needs of human life that the faculty of wonder has almost lost its use. Nowadays we are surprised at nothing. What would have been a matter of the wildest romance to our fathers is accepted by us not only as plausible® and passable, but as a direct suggestion for immediate carrying out. It was not 8o long ago that the creatura of a novelist’s vivid imagination—the submarine propeller in Jules Verne's “T'wenty Thousand Leagues Under tho Sea”—was as much like a contrivance of fairyland as is Aladdin’s lamp, says he Boston Herald. To-day it is a real- ized conception. It was only a few years ago that our grandfathers spurned with derision the idea of being drawn along upon smooth rails at a high rate of speed by the then recently invented crude steam engine. Similurly incred- ulous ancestors had the pleasure of laughing at the idea of there being any possibility of catching, much less em- rloylng for practical purposes, the ightning of their thunder-storms. ‘Within the last fifty years, however, such marvelous advancements have been made in all appliances that we have ceased to be astonished at any- thing newly proposed, however improb- :‘ble it may seem upon its first presenta- on. NOTHING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. It is only the discovery of new ways of accomplishing which hinder us. There was a meeting yesterday aftor- noon in the historic chamber of the Old South church, and the relics of bygone people and age, at which was presented a scheme almost as startling in its novelty, and almost equally simple . whenexplained,as that of the telephone. A large number of business men and scientists, who had come together to in- vestigate the new scheme, were gath- ered about 1n curious inspection of a singular-looking structure which was stretched along the length of the old hall. . This structure had the appear- ance of a miniature single-track ele- vated railway of a new design. It was, in fact, a working model of the newly- mvented port-electric system of rapid transportation, the inventor of which, Mr. John T. Williams, was present to explain the system. After his explana- tion the only real wonder which re- mained to his hearers, as is almost al- ways the case, was that so simple a thing should never have been thought of before. Indeed, as Prof. Dolbeare, who also gave the benefit of his expert electrical knowledge to the explanation of the new system, rcmnrke!ll, it has been thought of before by Dr. Page, of Salem, who was one of the most noted electricians of his time, some fifty years ago, but his pub- lished crude suggestion has never been adopted nor developed by elec- trical experimentors since Mr. Will- iams conceived the present system. We are familiar with many schemes for rapid transit and transportation. The developed railroad and the elevated road are but the beginnings in one branch of improvement. Cable roads dnd the electric street raillway form an- Other branch IN THE MATTER OF RAPID TRANSIT; for swift transportation we have the gfldad dovelopment of the capabilities f compressed air in preumatic tubes. European countries have gone ahead of us in this matter. The splendidly working public systems of pneumatic elivery tubes in Parisand Berlin, for nstance, are a model for the world. Letters, cards and small parcels can be gent from one part of these cities jto an- other with almost the same rapidity that a telegram is sent with us. Fur- ther than this, development of any reat importance has not been made. he world has been looking for some $ime, however, for a solution of this rapid transportation problem in the ap- pliance of electricity. Its application %0 street railroads in the matter of rapid transit for short distances is as ot far from fully developed. Indeed, t has not yot passed the experimental stato to become a fixed practical possi- bility. Even when applied to the al- rendy convenient system of elevated roads, which is a probable outcome of the near future, the problem will only huve been partially solved. In the matter of transportation there has been no proposition advanced for the employ- ment of eclectricity until this present system, which Mr. Williams brings for- ward, was designed, and yet everyonc has folt sure that electricity was surel: the power of the future for'this branc of public traffic, For the explanation of Mr, Williams’ system, in conjunction with what the inventor himself said yesterday after- noon, as well as Mr, T. W. Bicknell and Prof. Dolbeare, it will be well to quote a part of an article in the last number of the Electrical World of New York describing fully the workings of the port-electric system: *“The princi- ple of this SYSTEM 18 A SIMPLE ONE, and consists of the well known sucking action that a helix or coil exerts on a rod of iron when placed near its center, Thus, if a bar of iron or steel be placed with ore end near tho center of the he- lix, on passing a current through the latter the bar will be drawn in and maintained in a central position as long as the current continues, If now the current be brokenjthe bar will again be free to move, and if we imagine a second helix placed in & position simi- 1ar to that which 1t first occupied with relation to the bar, then on the pass- ago of the current through this second coil the bar will be deawn toward that ono and out of the first; with a number of lielixes arranged side by side, and with an arrangement for making and breaking the current at the proper tune, it is evident that a bar of iron ©ould be moved continuously in any di- rection.” Such, in fact, is the system of Mr. Williams which he has carried into practice in a thoroughly able manner. pe The car in which packages are to be earried rests uf)un & simple rail, and is flldod by small upper wieels, which an upper single track. The differ- ent helices, as will be readily under- d. are contained in a serics of box- ke hollow frames placed at intervals along the track, through the continu- ous live of which the car passes. The car is constructed of light steel, which is magoetized. It thus becomes in its relation to the different helices the same as the bar of steel or iron used in experiments with cofls. The manuer in which the car is propelled will now » readily understood. Assuming the front of the car to be the S pole, like that of the simple bar of steel or iron, as it is drawn into the center of the helix it repels the S pole or a pivoted magnet in the upper part of each helix, forcing it upward and bringing the end pole down in such a way as to make the cir- cuit. The closing of the_circuit through the hel'x tends to draw the car in with a sucking action. The contact of the end pole of the magnet with the closed circuit is maintained up o the time that the center of the carriage ar- rives at a short distance from the center of the quet, when the influence of the ¢ s on the magnet becomes noutr 1and tho contact is broken. This making and breaking of the cir- cuit is thus repeated as the car enters und passes through each succeeding coil. Itis cvident that if the uit is still maintained after the carriage had passed the center of the helix, the ac- tion would be to retard the motion of the carviage and, indoed, to stop 1t ea- tirely for, as is well known, the suction power of ‘the coil is equally strongat cither entrane In connection with this the Dlectric World coutinues to say: ““Tho object of breaking the con- tact a short distance before the center of the carringe reaches the center of the helix 1s to avoid the retarding ef- fect of the carriage which wouid be ex- perienced on account of the ¢ rent of breaking in the coil. Thi current, being in the same diroc the main current, would tend to dr the carringe forward as long? behind the center of the heli will bo readily seen that it the carriage had passed the center tho cxtra cur- rent would tend to retard it in the samo way that the main current would. ““It will thus bo noted that each helix comes 1nto action successively. and only one is in action at any one time, so that the current is utilized to the best ad- vantage. It will readily be understood that when once the carriage isin mo- tion and its inertia has been overcome comparatively little force will be nec- essary to maintain it at speed, and this is shown to be the case in the preseat system. As a consequence the strength of the coils may be considerably dimin- ished after ashort distance from the terminal station, as the power required is diminished accordingly when the carriage has arrived at the proper speed. Another interesting fact in connection with the system which we have Lad occasion to observe, and it must necessarily follow from its con- struction, is that the currcnt in the helices 1s considerably cut down by the counter electro-magnotic fluid gener- ated by the passage of the carviage through ‘them, so that, in a certain sense, the system is self-regulating to maintain the carriage atv its proper speed. A system of this kind must necessarily be provided with means for stopping the car gradually and without jar at a terminal ion, and this has beon worked out ingeniously by Mr.. Williams. The brak con- sists of a helix sumil to those shown, which is provided with a contact that, unlike the others remains closed after the carriage has passed the center of the helix. The effect of this is that the car is retarted or pulled back, and it is astomshing to witness how rapidly a brake of this kind brings the car to a standstill.” The structure on exhibition at the Old_South was built at a considerable grade. The distance from the starting point is necessarily short, limited by the length of the hall, and the power employed in propelling the carriage is of a minor quantity. Therefore, the ultimate powers of the system could be only approximately illustrated, but its PRACTICABILITY WAS THOROUGHLY PROVEN. In regard to1ts application Mr. "Nil- liams, in his remarks,cited the instance of its use in the postal service of the United States. One of the great dis- advantages of the mail service at pres- ent is the delay in waiting for mails to close. A business man in Boston who writes a letter to New York will often have to wait six hours for the closing of the mails. Similar delays of greater or less extent are met with in every postoffice in the country. With a sys- tem such as he proposes carriages could be sent over the track from the Boston office every five minutes through- out the day, each ecarrying its quota of letters put into the postoffice but afew moments before. The journey from Boston to New York, Mr. Wiiliams stated approximately, would take some two hours. It might be more or even less. In this regard he made a curious statement. Even a small shuttle-like carringe on oxhibition, weighing only filty-six and a half pounds, and somo four feet long, could carry 1,000 letters. With 1,000 letters dispatched every five minutes the present daily work of the Boston postoffice between Boston and New York could be accomplished. But in the construction of these cars there is a perfect practicability in their being twice or three times the length of the model, with accompauying added capa- bilities of transportation. Mr. Williams, in confining his illustrations of the uses of this system to the postal service, is altogether modest. 1T 18 RATHER A REVOLUTION in the whole idea of rapid transporta- tion, confined mnot alone to the field of letters and smull parcels, but embrac- ing an eminently possible future con- struction of a system large enough for carriages of a dimension capable of transporting passengers as well, al- though this requires something of a Night of imagination. As to power, that of the proposed sys- tem is an Edison incandescent circuit of 110 volts. The resistance of the first coil amounts to twenty-five ohms. There is a forty-sevenths horse power propelling the carringe at the start. The coils in the model are placed two feet upart. This nearness of coils may be nocoseary at the start and upon any upgrades which might occur in along distunce system, but on any main line it would be perfectly practicable for them to be eight, ten, or even twenty feet apart. In such a distance as that from Boston to New York sufficient power could be furnished by five or six statious placed at equal intermediate distances. The cost of coustructing such a system is confined relatively to the cost of the plant, for the cost of maintaining the power is slight. The structure itself, simple as it is in its de- sign, would also nced no extended out- lay of capital. Tho cars and the helices form the remaining details of expenses in the first plant. The speed attainable by a car in this system is almost incal- culable. As is well known in mechanics a constant propelling force is productive of almost inflnite velocity, obstructed only by the resistance of friction, In this system the only friction comes from the air and the contact of the car with the ra which is slight. Fow inveutions which have been brought to the notice of the public within recent yoars have 8o revolution- ary a chavacter as this present system of Mr, Williams. And, what is more, it carries with it the evidence of itsown feasibility, and acquaintance with it alone is suflicieut guarantee of its es- tablishment, Advice to Mothers.
