THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY Another Aggressive Move en the Domain of the Bteam Locomotive, IN SIGHT MILLIONS FOR CHANGE Detalls of & Project of Great Import- nee—Fast Motor Traine—Prog ress in Other Depart- ments of the Sclence. There Is something doing down east which * threatens the supremacy of the steam loco- motive. It is announced with great posi- tiveness by the New York Tribune that Willlam C. Whitney and his associates have obtained control of the Stanley Ele trie Manufacturing company at Pittsfleld, Mass.,, for the pyrpoge of bullding up & mammoth electrical plant, with the co- eperation of Ganz & Co. of Switzerland, and converting steam rallroads in this country into electrical roads. The financial de- talls of the plan, says the Tribune, have not been disclosed, but a representative of the syndicate sald they had been ar- ranged and that Mr. Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, Thomas Dolan, Willlam L. Elkns and P. A. B. Widener, who compose the syndi- |eate, were looking ahead to the work ef converting steam ralroads into electrical rallroads when they made the deal for the control of the plant at Pittsfield and for an enormous extension of ite factlities. The syndicate does mot expect that the displacement of steam by electricity on the raliroads of America 18 to be begun im- medlately or that it will affect many of the railroads for some years to come. For the immedlate future the increased plant at Plttefleld 18 to supply the demands of the streot raflways in New York, Phila- !@elphla, northern New Jersey and In Con- necticut for electrical supplies. These de- .mands have been increasing tremendously in recent years, while horse car and cable Jines have been transformed into electrical Jines. It was sald recently that the com- panies controlling the lines had been fur- nishing about 37 per cent of the business of the electrical companies in this country. A Large Undertaking. The conversion of steam roads into elec- trical roads Is expected to begin first along the Atlantic seaboard, particularly where the rallway lines enter the big cities. The Pennsylvania rallroad will have to haul trains by electricity through the tunnels that are to be constructed under the North river and under Manhattan island and the East river. The New York Central Is ex- pected to employ electrical locomotives for its trafic in the Park avenue tunnel before fong. Wherever there is a congestion of traffic on the steam roads in the east, It is belleved, there will be a displacement of the pufing locomotive by the smokeless electrical engines. Having made a begin- ning, the rallways of the east are expected to extend the use of electricity along thelr lines, driving the steam locomotives to the rallroads of the west, where they can be used until they are worn out. Mr. Whitney and his associates have not ‘been making their plans in the dark. They have been in communication with rallway managers and have learned that rallways in the east are about ready to spend $25,000,000 for the displacement of steam by electricity. That enormous sum would not be expended by the railroad companies unless there was reason to believe that the investment would pay. The syndicate and the rallway man- agers have been informed by their engineers that the superiority of electrical engines over steam locomotives has been proved, and that Ganz & Co. can furnish an elécy trical equipment that makes a saving of 15 per_cent in the operating expegses ot & railfoad. The electrical works of Ganz & Co. at Budapest, Hungary, are the largest in all Burope. Engineers employed there have brought to perfection the sclence of apply- fng electricity to motors. They constructed in Budapest the first successful underground trolley lines. Their ideas have been opted in the construction of electric roads all over the world. The patents of Ganz & Co. for electrical motors cover many de- vices. The concern has been engaged In recent years in the work of converting steam rallways in Europe Into electrical roads. Its most important demonstration to the minds of some rallway men was made on the Valtellina line, sixty miles in length, running past Lake Como in Italy, This line was converted into an electrical road by Ganz & Co, eighteen months ago, The operation of the rallway for eighteen months is sald by engineers to have proved that the electrical equipment saves 15 per cent of the operating expenses. Telephone Message Writer. A patent just issued to Peder Oluf Peder- wen of Copenhagen covers a method of using the telegraphone in such a way as to record & number of messages on a single steel strip and to reproduce each message with- out interference from the others. With this improvement the size of the drum or the length of the wire or ribbon used therein may be materially I ed, so that » long mpeech or & number of speeches or signals may be stored upon a compara- tively short or small magnetic body. ‘The telegraphone is the invention of a Danish electrical engineer, Valdemar Poul- won, and is, as the name implies, a combi- ] \ Narioua THE WEATHER MAN has not given us as nice ther for wheeling as he should for the month of June. For that reason the factories have given us some spe prices on wheels, which we would be pleased to show you before you buy Some wheels that had been lilng for 310 we are offering this week for §17.00, others in proportion, Now fs the tim buy & Dbievele.” " Punoture-pr EDISON PHONOGRAPH and Victor Disc Machines.

By the use of this device a telephone or telegraph conversation can be recorded on a steel wire or tape and reproduced at any time and as often as desired without the record deteriorating. In this apparatus a steel wire, or a steel band, is moved by any suitable means with considerable velocity between the poles of a small electro-magnet. On speaking into a telephone transmitter joined on the cir- cult, the undulatory currents set up in the transmitter react upon the electro-magnet and cause a continuous variation in the direction and in the degree of magnetism at the poles of the electro-magnet. These varfations are permanently recorded on the steel wire as it rushes by, and when the message fis complete the steel wire retains a definite record of what has taken place in the shape of a continu- ous series of transverse magnitized lines varying throughout in their polarity and in thelr strength. On connecting a telephone recelver to the electro-magnet, and again starting the wire on its course, says the Telegraph Age, this magnetized wire gen- erates electric currents in the cofls of the superimposed magnet as it passes between its poles, and these electric currents, which are the exact counterpart of those gen- erated by the original voice, cause the tel- ephone to repeat what was said in an al- most absolutely perfect manner. Aerial Telegraph Recelver. Widespread interest has been aroused; says the Sclentific American, by the ex- periments which have been carried on by Prof. Fessenden with a new form of aerial telegraphic receiver, which s claimed to give promise of considerably greater ra- pidity than the coherer with which the pub- lic 18 generally familiar. The experiments have been carried out under the auspices of the weather bureau and have extended over a period of about two years. Some of the results achleved have been made pub- 1o by the bureau and they are considered to foreshadow a great improvement in the speed of aerial telegraphy. The work has been carried on between Hatteras inlet and Roanoke island, over a distance of fifty miles, and messages have been sent and recelved without the use of the coherer, the place of which is taken by the new re- celver, which Prof. Fessenden calls a wave- detector. He claims that he has worked it experimentally at speeds which would be equal to over 500 words a minute, and this with only about 25 per cent increase of energy per signal over that which s used with the ordinary apparatus. We un- derstand that the wave-detector consists of a wire whose conductivity Is automat- tcally increased and diminished through a range which can be determined by the ad- justment of the apparatus, and that the making and breaking of the circuit 1s so delicately adjusted that the higher speeds are easily realized. Barbed Wire Telephones, They ars inaugurating & telephone ex- change In Fort Benton, Mcnt., that will put the embryo telephone companies entirely in the shade. Fort Benton's latest effort is a barbed- wire telephone communication. Being by instinct and assoclation cow people, they resented the genesis of the barbed wire, and when it was discovered that it was one of the evils that came with the rail- road and threw the cowpuncher, the bull- traln and the river steamer out of tho game, they decided to take a material view of the situation, and the result is that they are preparing to have a telephone exchange which will take In evory ranch from ths Missouri river north to “ha Canadian line and south to the Highwood mountains. Among the dutles of the operator at the toll station, which will be situated at Ben- ton, will be calling the ranchers on the various creeks In the morning, notifying them when the trains are twelve or four- teen hours late, and giving the sheepmen the latest report of the weather bureau, 8o that they may be ready during lamblng time for the storms which are so destruc- tive In that section. Ranches are strung all along the line from Benton up Shonkin creek to the moun- tains, and with a short addition to the fences which run continuously, the line will be carried across the Highwood moun- tains near old Jack Connolly's ranch at Eagle's Head to the thickly populated High- wood district and to tne Judith Basin. When the line s finished the ranchmen of northern Montana will only have to step to the ’phone to be in connection with every city in the state. On emer- gency cases he can call a physiclan, or a minister, as the case requires. The latter is of particular importance in the Bear Paw and Little Rocky region, as some men down there have still the old-time habit of dylng in their boots, and even telephone connection with a sky-pliot is & desirable modern convenience. When & bunch of beef steers stampedes and goes through the barbed wire, central will know that the line is in need of repair and that the beef séeers of the Square outfit are losing flesh by the pound. Fast Motor Traluns, Swifter than the fastest locomotives, elec~ tric cars will begin next month to speed between Chicago and Elgin, Batavia and Aurora, reports the Chicago Inter Ocean. Few trains have ever been run at the speed which, it is claimed, these electric cars will make. They will run so fast that riding in them will be like facing & hurricane and the breezes which will sweep through their open windows forbode disaster for curls, frizzes or any small articles that are not held tightly by their owne It is a ques- tion whether a passenger with his face un- protected will be able to sit at an open win- dow of one of these cars as in the ordinary electric car. On the traine the mewsboys, along with their line of fruit and antiquated literature, will carry a stock of face masks and their, first trip through the train will be to urge the women passengers to “rent a face mask and eave your hair from being blown down Like glant racing automobiles the trains will speed across the country, their occu- pants peering through goggled face pro- tectars and sheitering their heads beneath hoods and tric trains is not, so the officials of the com- pany say, a wild ante-operation boast. Their stipulation with one of the two larg- est electrio supply houses In the world is that no cars will'be accepted whose motors will not make at least seventy miles an hour over any part of the road. The elec- trical company was amazed at the demand, but now it confidently asserts that not a car will leave its shops that cannot make ninety miles an hour, and that by changing the gearing several of the trains will be able to make considerably over one hundred miles an hour, The trains will contain from two to six cars. The cars will be sixty feet long and seat that pumber of passengers. The motors on each end of the cars will be 500 horse-power In strength and welgh sixteen tons each. The heavy motors will be within eighteen inches of the ground and bring the center of gravity so near the rails that there will be no danger of the cars jumping the tracks on account of the rapld rate at which they run. Chicago's Big Plant. The projected six-million-doilar electric power plant of the Commonwealth com- pany of Chicago emphasizes the rapid cendency of electrie power for the opera- tion of a wide range of mechanical indus- try and calls attention to the fact that icago is fast becoming oue of the great- est centers of elestric power development 1 the world. The Edison company slready SUNDAY, JUNE B9, 1902. has avaflable in its varlous plants in that city not less tham 40,000 horse-power. The new Commonwealth plant when completed will have a capacity of 100,000 horse- power. Some idea of its magnitude is con- veyed by the statement that it will cover fourteen acres, that it will cost $6,000,000 and that it will require five or six years to build ft. The installation of such & mammoth plant anticipates not only rapidly increas- ing demands for electric light, but great and inevitable transformation in the street rallway traction systems of the city. To be prepared to supply every form of electrical energy, for lighting, for railway operation and for all kinds of manufacturing indus- try Indicates a purpose to centralize in one great plant the most modern devices that inventive genlus and engineering experi- ence have supplied for instituting needed economies in the work of producing electric power, Current Notew. Mexico is taking readily to modern elec- trical appliances. Already there are over fifty miles of electric street raliways in operation in the city conquered by Cortez and fifty miles more will be completed in another yenr. An electric flytrap should prove useful as the season advances. One has been pat- ented recently and s ocarposed principally of a screen of positive and negative wires and is bated with sugar. The flies alight on the wires and the result to them is same as that to a man sitting in the elec- tric chair. It Is expected that before long the New York fire department will give a practical test to electric motor fire apparatus. The first test, it is understood, will be applied to a hose cart and possibly also to a hook and ladder truck. If it is found to work satisfactorily upon these lighter vehicles the same power will be tried on the en- gines, which weigh in the neighborhood ot ,000 or 8,000 pounds. Burns from Roentgen rays, now recog- nized as a real effect, have some curious features. Dr. E. A. Codman, citing nearly 200 cases, notes that the burns resemble Sunburn, but they may extend much deeper, the body being transparent to these rays. The burns do not usually appear im- mediately, most often developing in about ten days, though sometimes del. months. Some persons are very others are not affected in any way. Portable electric lamps are being intro- duced Into the German army and mounted patrols will be supplied with them, accord- ing to the United Service Gazette, The ad- vantages of such a lamp will be very pro- nounced for field duty and especlally dur- ing inclement weather. The medical corps will also find the lamps of great value both in searching the field for wounded and when operations have to be performed in the hospital tent. Madison, Wis., 1s a university town and like most university towns it has a campus upon which grow huge trees. In thése trees squirrels have made their habitation, to the great delight of the students and 'towns- eople. For a long time the telephone serv- ce of the town has been bad. No one knew why. Finally a_curious official discovered that the squirrels had nibbled off the Insu- lation of the telephone cables, cut into wires and wroneht havoe in many other ways. Rather than exterminate the squir- rels the telephone company determined to keep a force of linemen busy repairing the ravages. But the squirrels have eaten away the {nsulation faster than the linemen could supply it. TEXAS DROUGHT IS BROKEN Heavy Rains Fall from Dallas South to Gulf and in Other Parts of State. DALLAS, Tex., June 28.—The long drought prevalling in Texas was quite generally re- lieved today. Heavy rains are reported from Dallas south to the gulf and many sections north, east and west have recelved por- tlons of the downpour. The corn crop is sald to be beyond redemption, but cotton will be saved. There wi considerable alarm for the safety of Galveston through- out the day, as a severe gale was reported raging there early this morning and tele- graphic communication was entirely inter- rupted during the day. It was later learned, however, that no damage had been sus- tained and. that the water was but slightly above normal. At Houston a high wind prevailed and a heavy rain fell throughout the day. Trees were uprooted and car traffic was suspended in a portion of the city, but no serious damage was done. At Grand Saline the gale was very strong and the water broke over the river banks. No great damage is reported there. GALVESTON, Tex., June 28.—The wind and rain storm which struck Galveston last night with intensity lasted till late this afternoon. The wind held steady from the southeast and reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour during one and two- minute gusts during the early portion of this morning. The tide was not dangerously high, being but two feet above normal, but the storm, which originated In the west gulf and passed inland with its center 150 miles west of Galveston, made itself felt on the city. Tonight the wind is blowing thirty miles an hour, but the Weather bureau states that it will veer to the west by morning and produce clear weather for Saturday. The only damage reported in Galveston was the burning out of fifteen motor cars by the water getting into the electric machinery. HOUSTON, Tex., June 28.—It is sald here tonight that & wind of tornado proportions developed near Rosenbery today and blew a Southern Pacific freight train from the track, wrecking it and injuring three or four men. The wires are down and there ls no way of getting detalls, ANOTHER STEEL COMPANY Rumor to Effect that New Pennsyl- vania Ooncern Will Rival Great Combine. PHILADELPHIA, June 28.—The North American tomorrow will y: Another great steel company has been formed to compete with the United States Steel cor- poration. Several of the highest salaried steel experts of the Pencoyd works, part of the American Bridge company, have left that concern and caet their lot with the capitalist who is behind the new company. This man, one of those concerned declares, is Percival Roberts, jr., formerly president of the American Bridge company, and for- merly a member of the board of directors and the executlve committee of the combine. The old plant of the Pottsville (Pa.) Iron and Steel works has been purchased and will be remodeled. The new concern, the Schuylkill Valley Iron and Steel works, will have one of the finest and largest establish- ments in the country. The North American al priots a briet interview with Mr. Roberts, whio denles the truth of the publication. CONSIDER OIL FOR Missiusl, Use Beaumont Ol om Thelr Packets. FUEL May ST. LOUIS, June 28.—Rivermen are con- s'dering the use of oll for fuel on the pack- ets running out of St. Louls and exprees the bellef if the movement, which has been inaugurated to bring Beaumont oll bhere from Port Arthur by water, proves suc- cessful every vessel plying western waters will be equipped with oll burners. The arrival of the towboat McRougal from New Orleans today demonstrates the prac- ticabllity of the use of oil. McDougal was equipped with the burners at New Orleans. It departed with a tow of three barges and arrived in St. douls without stopping for fuel. Although a small boat, it did not burn half its supply of oll and the owners expect it to make the return trip without using the balance of its supply. It is sald the saving iu fuel alone was 40 per cent.

HE WILL SHOW WHAT AMERICA IS DOING AND WHAT IT CAN DO— LIVE LETTERS OF HUMAN INTER~ EST ABOUT ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, RUSSIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES OF CONTINENTAL EUROPE. o — . Beginning in June The Bee will publish & remarime r ; ble series of {llustrated letters from Frank G. Care wnosp!c]’us penter on what the Yankees are doing in Europe and on the changes which are going onin that cone tinent. The old Burope is fast passing away and & new country and people are taking its place. Trade conditions are rapidly changing. The people are shaking off their Rip Van Wine Kkie sleep of ages, and beginning to realise that the American Giant of the West has girded his loins and is ready to fight with them for all that is worth having of this world and this world's goods. The fight indeed has aiready begun, and even at its starting it is in the favor of the West. The greatest countries of Burope are attempting to combat it. Their parilaments already refer to it as “The American Invasion,” the Emperor of Germany has called it the "Great American Peril,” and the Boards of Trade and Manufacturers of England stand aghast at the prospect. In Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Holland and: Belglum as well as in the other countries of Continental Europe, thig increase of American ocoms merce is steadily golng on. The Yankee Exporter has put on the Seven DLeagué Boots of the Twentleth Century, and he is going forth like an electrical dynamo in breeches. He ia just now at the beginning of hia journey and those wha know him best are sure he will not stop until he has distanced all others on the great race track of the world. To describe the new conditions and the thou- sand and one changes caused by it Mr. Carpenter has planned an extensive tour of the United Kingdom and the Continent. He is now in England snd later on will visit Russia, Germany, France and other countries in the interest of our readers. TP, In England for instance, he will tell how Uncle Sam has-to r spoon-feed John Bull to keep him allve, how he sleeps him ENGL‘ n between cotton sheets at night and how by means of his new electrical machinery he is preparing to carry him ta o wj work on our modern street cars. He will show how Bog- land's coal bids falr to give out and how we eventually must keep our Britlsh cousins warm. The New London, the gigantio metro- polis of the world as a trade oyster for the American to open will be plctured and a comparison of ‘the big trusts of the “Tight Little Island” and those of our country be made. In German Mr. Carpenter will investigate the condition of En"‘"v ; the American Hog and show how not the farmers, but the will describe how Germany is trying to capture the Ocean rich land holders are fighting against its importation. He by bullding the best and fastest ships now afloat, and will make one letter on Kaiser Wilhelm as the Great Interna- tional Drummer who s pushing Germany's trade and business in every way. He will picture Berlin as it {s in this year 1903, and traveling over eastern and western Germany will compare their laborers with our workmen and describe the wonderful technical schools which the Emperor has instituted 10 aid him in making the commercial conquest of the world. Mr. Carpenter's letters from Russia cannot but be Z interest. The Russians next to the Americans are the nussl‘ people of the world of the future. Mr. capital, St. Petersburg and give letters about the young Csar sArannsined his government.
