Mile-a-Minute Electric Trains Practical Working. London, Aug. 27.--Oue of the most important substitutions of electric for steam traction has been carried out in Italy by thé Mediterranean Rail way company upon a system lines starting from Milan. The main branch from Milan to Gallarate, twen- ty-five miles, and thence start three separate branches which supply the Lago Magiore region, with lengths sixteen, nineteen and twenty miles. The main line passes through a densd- ly: populated region and the traffic is constant throughout the vear, while the three branches supply 'the touriat traffic, which considerable in the summer and autumn. In order to meet the competition of thé local tramway lines the company was obliged to change its system. Since the new svs tem was inaugurated last October, the traflic has increased fifty per The energy is supplied hy a hydraulic and steam plant. The hy draulic plant under construction. A fall of twenty-five feet obtained by a canal, which delivered 140 cubic vards per second, representing !1,000 horse power. The main turbines gene- rate 1,200 horse power; and "the dv- namos 742 kilowatts. The steam plant will be used hs a reserve when the hv- draulie station is finished; it has three engines of 1,400 horse pov which drive triphase alternators. The latter give 13,000 volts at twenty-five re- versals. I'rom the station the current is transmitted at 'high tension, and these supply .thé five sub-statiops for the road, where the current trans- formed to 420 volts direct current, and fed into the third rail. The roll ing stock consists of twenty motor and twenty trailers, of fifty-five fcet dength. The motor tars hold enty-five passengers, and the trailers ninety; the former: have four Thom- son-Houston- motors per car, which take current from the side rail by four <liding contacts.

BORN ABOARD RD FAST. TRAIN. Ushered Into World Under Uaus- ual Circumstances. New York Press. Odd incidents occur in the life of a Pullman conductor which educate him to be an all round handy man. On the Erie near Buffalo, Conductor F. 8. Mosher was informed that a wo- man in one of his cars was ill and needed a doctor. As a search through the entire train failed to discover either physician or surgeon, the con- ductor felt it. his duty to ofier his The woman was on the way 10 Chjcago to see a dying sister, and expected to be joined in Buffalo by her husband. When Mosher went to her berth he made a highly interest- ing find--a babe, a tiny girl. Mother and 'daughter seemed to be doing nicely. Faithful to- firét principles , as a railroad man, he looked at i watch, counted the rail joints and! es- timated that the speed of the train was sixty miles an hour. "Don't worry," he said to the mother. #1 have two of these at my own home and know something about handling 'em. Let me have her. She needs some clothes." - After giving the bake a warm bath in 1 thi lavatory he looked through thé lingn closet = for something soft to wrap her in, - but everything there was starched. Eight or thn commercial travelers were in the car. "Here, boys," he calledout. "we've got the Erie's baby to feed and clothe ®* and name. Open your s and shell out the softest gar- ments you've got." In an instant the entire car was a bustle with interest in Miss Mahoney. One drummer had a fine silk handkerchief, another a camel's hair muffler, another a suit of flaccid merino underwear, while the rest had cambric nightshirts that had been laundered until they were as flocculent. as fleece. These articles were eagerly contributed. The nightshirts were torn into strips a foot wide and tenderly the little form was enveloped. A petticoat was made of the underwear, a dress of the mufiler and a shirt waist of the hand- Kerchief. Thus clothed and in a real Iv jovial frame of mind Miss Mahoney was delivered over to her mother. The next duty was bestowing a name suited to' the occasion. and Dr.' Golfather Mosher proved equal to the emergency. The mother's name was Nora, the grandmother's Camelia, the car in which the child was born the Cisco, the town through, which the train passed at the birth Judson, and the family name Mahoney. So the voung lady was named Nora Camellia Cisco Judson Mahoney, and that name she hears to-day. At Buffalo a handsome voung man entered the forward Pullman and as kod the conductor if he had among his passe ngers a woman of the name of Mahoney. "Two of 'em." replied Mosher; * 'they' re in the rear car, : the Cisco." "Two ?' said the, stranger, "I'm looking for only one, my wife, Mrs. Charles Mahoney." "Well. I've two of 'em back there and both of 'em are yours, Sn---------- A Man With A Mission. New York Press. It is not given to all men to irate a successful movement.
