HEN George Stephenson started the first locomotive at Darlington the problem of stopping {t and ite imaginary train did not eppear important. But as the railway develeped into » grand, masterful utility, daily transporting hundreds of thousands of passengers and travelling at higher speed than originally deemed possible, necessity for placing control of the train entirely in the hands of ite engineer became imperative, The British method, maintained until recently, waa to attach a “brake " to the rear of each train, in which @ porter, seated upon @ pi that Gave to him overlook of the cars and track, applied a windlass on signal by whietle or at-aign of danger. In Amorica a brakeman stood upon the plat- form detween two cars and, when the locomotive whistle signalled to him, @renked a chain to stop the train. It was a slow process and his post was ene of danger. The looomotive driver of to-day alte in his cab, absolute mester of the Mfeleden train behind him. A hand rests upon the lever that shuts off the eteam, but within closer reach 1s @ small knob, one atroke upon which will eppiy the Westinghouse automatic air brake—stopping a train, running at everage speed, in its own length! fs the miracle wrought by George Westinghouse! has been “inventing” since boyhood. Like Edison, Westinghouse has fgvetes many branches of mechanics and aclence; the triad forces with which | @enjures are steamy electricity and air. But his supreme claim ae an ter must rest upon the automatic alr brake, Eftee most great inventions, its simplicity is amazing. An air-compresser, dy ateam from the locomotive's boiler, is connected by pipes with and piston under each car. A pipe, reaghing to the end of the is constantly filled with alr under high pressure, which can be instantly focally applied. The air Orake was first tried in 189, but the rear cars of long trains were checked as promptly as the forward ones. And several accidents, described « ing.” occurred. The rear cara climbed upon the front ones. Twenty- @Be yeare of tirclers experimentation and an expenditure of many thousani Gare successfully remedied this serious defect. Since 1887 every car on @ train ef fifty cars becomes a separate unit the instant brakes are applied by the | Meeomotive driver. Recent tests on a fifty-car train showed an “interference” \ Gf love than two seconds between the first and the last car—an interval of " tdme too brief to cause disaster, ‘When the automatio brake was adopted brakemen opposed it. “Braking” ‘wae Delieved by them to be a fine art. Mechanism, responding instantly, aid thelr work more effectively, In 1895 Congress passed a law requiring all @reight and passenger cars in the United States to be equipped with air brakes ‘vefore Jan. 1, 1 ‘That law was enforced. The great works at Wilmerding, ! fourteen miles east of Pittsburgh, and many other shops in Burope and Can- are the outgrowth of Westinghouse success, . Many thousard words would be required to deal with this American, who firet #aw the lght amid the hills of Schoharle County, New York, in 1846. Very memorable was his contract for lighting the Columbian World's Fair at Chicago, 1893, when Westinghouse underbld all competitors by $1,000,000 for the la electric lighting contract ever signed up to that time, It in- Gluded twelve 1,000 horee-power generators, then a stupendous proposition, Coprrigtt. GEORGE But at Niagara to-day are giant turbines directly connected with eight gen- erators, each of 5,000 horse-power and weighing 170,000 pounds! All are tho’ output of the Westinghouse works. Under the patronage and encouragement of this man, Nikola Tesla’s poly- ghase system of electrical transmission of power has been worked out to- gether with the Tesla principle of the rotary magnetic fleld, ‘The Westinghouse shops are sprouting-beds of genius!

These are sald to remove all shock, and to admit the use of solld rubber instead of pneumatic tires! The brass tubes @re filled with off and @, and an automatic pump maintains the alr pressure within them. It ts the original alr brake idea! ‘Therefore, we end where we began, with the one of initiative.

And, wisely, I envied him, and listened p: tently while he knooked Velasques and Tintoretto. Once he told me that he liked a story of mine that he had come across in an anthology.
