B s | suburban roads, where the traffic { coal. belief that all railroads will be eventually operated electrically. On many short heavy and the trains are run at frequent inter- vals, conditions exist which foreshadow the future practice in economical electric railroading. Among the advantages which electricity offers over steam for the rail- road work of the future, Mr. Wetzler points out that instead of hundreds of loco- motives burning coal in hundreds of in- dividual furnaces, working their steam in hundreds of cylinders—for the most part using the steam under the most uneco- nomical conditions, and then exhausting it into free air—the electric system in- volves the placing of power stations at in- tervals, say fifty miles, equipped with the most modern triple and quadruple expan- sion condensing engines, and utilizing to the fullest extent the heat contained in the Another feature of economy pe- culiar to electric power distribution, which is directly applicable to railroad work, is that the central electric-power station can be built of considerably smaller capacity than the aggregate maximum capacity of the locomotives on the road. Thus, if a di- sion of a double-track railroad, 100 miles in length, had, say, forty trains running at the same time, each averaging 500 horse- ower, there would be a total of 20,000 orse-power required in the steam equip- ment of the locomotives. 1f the road were equipped electrically, Mr. Wetzler shows, it would need a maximum capacity of not more than 15,000 horse-power, or 25 per cent less than the total power of steam lo- comotives as now made. The matter of sfeed will offer no difficulty. With the electric locomotive, even of the next few years, people will be able to travel quite as fast as they care to, and with cars pro- pelled, heated and lighted by electricity, and the absence of dust, smoke and cin- ders, a trip on the 100 miles an bour ex- press, which may be looked for in the early part of the twentieth century, should be an ideal method of traveling. A NEw. Porxt 1IN ELECTRO-PHYSIOLOGY; An issue of great importance has recently been raised by a correspondent in the columns of a leading electrical journal. Oneof the laborers in a mine was killed by an electric shock received while bandling an electric mining machine, notwithstanding the fact that the electro- motive force on the circuit did not exceed 280 volts. The young man was strong and well built, and a post-mortem examination by physicians showed that the brain and heart, and indeed the whole body was sound, and there were no marks to indicate the cause of death. Richard Lamb states that too much publicity cannot be given to the fact that even 110volts will kill, if poisoned herself. Dr. J. J. Clarke was sum- moned and found that Mrs. Mamie Tormey had accidentally imbibed some iodine instead of glycerine, which she had proposed to take. he young lady, who had been suffering with an affliction of the eyes, causing her to mis- take the bottles, was at once treated and yes- terday was pronounced out of danger. —e.————— BIOYOLE-ELECTRIC RAILWAY. A Novelty in the Way of Rapid Transit for Baltimore. The building of a bicycle-electric railway in the suburbs of Baltimore was announced yesterday as the latest of the many novel- ties which this city has introduced in the history of rapid-transit facilities, says the Baltimore Sun. It issaid that the new line tobe built hereis the first of itskina thatwill be put in practical operation for business purposes, although the efficiency of the bicycle electric system has been tested on a road at Bellport, Long Island. The line will extend from a. place on the Windsor Mil! road, near the western city limits, along the cliffs a%joiuiu§ the old millrace through Wetheredville to Powhatan, in Baltimore County. One of the objects of the promoters of the project is to proyide rapid transit facil- ities to and from Windsor Hills, a sub- urban tract of ground containing 160 acres, which has just been purchased by a syndicate of Brooklyn capital- ists. The tract extends along Gwynn's falls, adjoining Walbrook. Avenues have been 1aid out through the 'groperty, and grading is now in progress. The land owned by tie syndicate is high and roll- ing, andis better adapted for improvement in villa sites than in the usual city squares and blocks of houses. The new style of railway is said to be particularly suited to this kind of countrlyA The Boynton electric_railroad system, which is to be constructed, is a combination of the bicycle and the trolley road, with some modifications. The system can be em- bodied in several forms of construction, but its general principle is a long narrow, high car, with wheels beneath arranged on a single rail, like the wheelsof a bicycle, and a strong grooved beam overhead ar- ranged like a trolley wire. The overhead beam is used as a guide. The cars are designed to be 40 feet long, 414 feet wide and 14 feet high, divided into two stories, although a one-story car may be used. The; are sup- ported on the single rail by gravity, the guiding beam agbove being used to prevent them from falling to either side, in case they are more heavily weighted on one side than on the other. At curves this guiding beam is moved to- ward the inner side of the curve, so that hlih speed can be maintained. s tge cars are held above and below by the beam and therail, it issaid to be impos- sible for them to *“‘jump” the track unless the structure is broken. It is claimed thata speed of 90 or 100 miles an hour can be at- tained on an elevated road constructed on this plan.

In the advance volumes of the official records of the Union and Confederate navies is found a letter received in 1861 by Captain G. V. Fox, then the Assistant Sec- retary of the Navy, from Midshipman Al- fred T. Maban, now a captain and the commander of the Chicago. Midshipman Mahan was then in service on the United States steamship James Adger. The fol- lowing is the letter as published in the Army ana Navy Journal: U. 8. 5. JAMES ADGER, Sept. 9, 1861. 1 hope gou will overlook what may ap- pear like youthful Fresumplion in addressing you on the subject wish to. The ravages of the Ph’ale Sumter have reached a pitch that, if long continued, will cast an undeserved stigma upon the navy. Her speed, on the cruising ground she has chosen, will always enable her to obtain the twenty- four hours’ shelter granted by neutral powers, and thus & chance of escape by night, which can only be prevented by surrounding her with a chain of vessels more numerous than our small navy and extended blockaded coast can at present allow us to devote to this object. Can she not be decoyed under fire, or even boarded? A steamer cannot do this, for the smallness of the steam mercantile marine would of itself render her liable to suspicion. I have thought that & sailing vessel, as one of the lately conmfiscated rebel vessels, might be equipped with a heavy pivot gun and a light house built over it, ‘such as are often seen in merchant ships, and which would not excite suspicion. Broadside guns requiring poris would be incompatible with the end in view. Man the ship with 100 men, more if necessary. ‘Will there not be a probability of the steamer approaching confidently, if toleeward, within a distance to render boarding practicable; if to windward, so as possibly to be disabled or sunk with your heavy gun? Elaboration of detail would be misplaced here, and I shall not attempt it. Iam aware that the disadvantages a sailing vessel labors under are great, and my idea may appear rash, or even hairbrained. But suppose it fail, what is1ost? A useless ship, & midshipman and 100 men. If it should succeed, apart from the im- portance of the capture, look atthe prestige such an affair would give the service. Finally if this is so fortunate as to meet your approval and that of the honorable Secretary, and you should not wish to risk a better man, I beg to offer myself to lead the enterprise. Iam, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant. ALFRED T. MAHAN, Midshipman, U. 8. N. Captain G. V. Fox. Assistant Secretary of ti Navy, Washington, D. C. Captain Mahan had a copy of the letter shown to him, and he was asked what had induced him to write it, says the New York Sun. “Oh, that is all nonsense,” he replied. It was simply a boy’s freak. The James Adger was the first ship I was ever on and I was naturally enthusiastic. I had just turned 20 at that time, and like all boys was foolish, The truth of the matteris I had forgot all about writing such a letter until a few days ago, when a friend showed me a copy of it. don’t even remember if a.%o't,an answer to it, but I don’t believe I id. he e .. Army Promotions in Future. Promotions will be unusually rapid in the United States army during the next five years, owing to the number of retire- ments on account of age. Between the present month and April, 1900, no less than 130 officers will be retired, including two major-generals, seven brigadier-generals, forty-four colonels, seventeen lieutenant- colonels, twenty-five majors and thirty- four captains.

The fact that 110 volts does notparalyze the nerves, and that therefore, the contact can almostinvariably be withdrawn at once, is the reason why there are so few records of death, if any, by that voltage. With 280 volts in contact with ableeaing sore upon the hand, a erson would be killed almost instantly. lood is a good counductor of electricity, and the current would be transmitted at once to the heart. CurriNGg AxD SINGEING Har By Erec- TrIcITY.—The latest novelty in the bar- ber’s-shop is the “singe-cutting comb.” This apparatus, which cuts the hair and singes it at the same time, consists of a comb over the teeth of which is stretched a platinum wire, which is raised to a white heat by the passage ofa current. The supply of current is regulated by a push- button at one end of the comb. As the | button is pressed the comb is passed through the hair, which is instantly severed, the cut ends being sealed by the heat. It is well known that singeing the bair isextensively practiced on the strensth of the plea that the hair tube is filled with an oily substance on which the life, beauty and vigor of the hair depend. When cut with shears this oil is supposed to esca] until nature again closes the capillary tube. Itis claimed that the cauterizing of the bair on contact with the hot wire closes the ends and also reduces the liability to catch cold in the head after the hairis cut. There is no possibility of either a shock or a hurn being communicated to the scalp. Mrs. Johg W. Mackay arrived in New York City from London last Saturday.
