Tluie is no theory about this. IW. j
ry iiiun, woman and child, who i-wr !
r.'de a bicycle knows, in a general way.

with u favoring wind, ll Ik the liunl-
"t kind of work pumiilim uguinsl a
twenty-mile bfei-ze. Only tni' mu.i
ntitnly rider can make headway In i
forty-mile wind. A head-wlud Is worse
lluiii Kiades. and more dreaded tha i
muddy roads. The bicycle rider Will
u!iee Willi me that "atmospheric re
fritilaiif.-t- is the all-prediimlnatlnir fac
tor in the total of bicycle frictions."
The ixpert bicycle rider alloins lilsli
rpeed just in proportion as lie reduce-)
arinocplierlc j-eslslance. He first dls-c-jvered
Hint a greater upeed could be
made by bending- fhe body to mch
u angle us would offer the leant air
pressure. Watch the profesxlonal
rider and you will notice that his
shoulders and body are on u horizontal
jilane. With an erect pusitloii IiIk'i
speed Is an absolute impOKKihility. The
horizontal position so much ridiculed
reduces the air resistance to a mini
mum. The next discovery made by the 1
rycle rider was that he could ride fas
ter If paced. He also found that the
closer he rode to he pacemaker the
easier it was to maintain the speed.
The explanation Is simple. The puce
makers take the brunt of the air re
sistance, and the one beliiK paced rides
In a partial vacuum, where the air re
slstance Is decreased. The only true
test of the enduruiiee of u bicycle rider
Is an iinpaced run for any Riven dis
tance, not in i oiupetition. In u race
no rider caivs tn lake the lead or et
the puce. The loan who sets Ihe pai-'
has to meet the nubiokeii impact or
the air.
Hicycle speeds have been Increased
Just in proportion as the paccmakiiiK
I'li.-Illiies have len improve... The

vacuum can be provided, smile rider

In Ihe last fi w years everyone
Willi the single e.Vccplioli of the pas
senger ear builder has d:scivred that
tie- atmosphere has wonderful Miial
ilies of force and nl resistance. A hur
ricane with a. wind Velocity of cl(?lily
miles an hour will level half the houses
in a town and blow a passenger train
from a Hack. This, however, has t-u
siKiiilicance In a car builder, wlm yet
vainly iin.-iuiu.-s that a Incomotive can
haul a passenger train eighty miles un
liour without encountering much at
mospheric resistance. A wind storm
will tear the solid masoniy from the
Kails bridge. A mouth later an in
ventor, wlm has designed u new and
powerful loi oinoiive, wonders why he
cannot haul a few passenger cars :it
the rale of Urn miles an hour. The
fact Ibat a Ilia-mile gale will hurl a
man into Ihe air like a chip entirely
escapt s his al lelit ion.
A iiieleur Wiindcrini: IhrnHMh apae

call llnaliliosphcif. So ureal is the
friction thai llm lie lor instantly
mines lo a white heul, and fuses n a
thin sn ip of gluss cast Into a blast fur
nace. And yet some ullei;td experts
declare that atmospheric resistance is
so small a factor that it may be Ig
nored. UKSIST.V.WK KSTIMATI-;..
The modern passenger Haiti Is, of
all things animate anil inanimate, int.
lira I or aril'icial, the one exceptli M
l hut attempts, w hile defying a slmpl
and self-evident law of nature, tn at
tain a high velocity. The nimlerti lo
comotive ii ii it passenger ttuiu Is a sue
cesisoii of air-reslstliiK planes, seeem
ingiy elected with Ihe one olijept of
leiiirding- speed and nullifying the
power exerted In the cylinders. Not
until the existing construction of pps-.-.-iiii.-r
trains is changed will high
speeds be possible or any sped econom
ical. Al fifty miles an hour not less
than Si) per cent, of the power of tha
locomotive Is exhausted in overcoming
the atmospheric resistance due to tne
speed of the train.
According to Smcamri. the most con
servative authority on (he subVet,
"wind resistance equals the square of
the velocity of miles per hour divided
by .un." Thus, at ten miles
per hour the pressure in pounds
per square foot Is one half a
pound; at twenty miles It Is two
pounds; at forty miles It Is eight
pounds; at sixty miles It Is eighteen
pounds; at eighty miles it Is thirty
two pounds, and at 100 miles it Is fifty
pounds a square foot. That is why
trains do not go 1W1 miles an hour, and
11 is the only reason why.
Suppose Snieaton Is wrong and that
the resistance Is only half as much
as he says, the fact will yet remain
that atmospheric resistance is tht one
nnd the only factor which prevents
high speeds. It will he admitted that
the pressure Increases with speed; the
faster a Irain goes the greater Is the
air resistance and that finally a limit
is reached In Its speed. Kxamlne all
your other train frictions. Not one of
them Increases with the speed. On the
contrary, there Is the highest author
ity for the statement that they de
crease. Now It would naturally be supposed
In view of the fact that only one fric
tion Increases with speed, and the fur
ther fact that speed Is a desirable
thing in a railroad train, that some at
tention would be paid to this factor
and an attempt, made to lessen the
amount of atmospheric resistance, Hut
nothing has been done. A powerful
tugboat hitched to a string of flat
headed mud ceows stands as much
show of attaining a marine time ivv
nnl us does a loeomolive which at
tempts to haul a modern passeiig-r
train '.it a high rate of speed.
rri!Tin:it KinrniNM.
.Make a single computation. Smealoii
says that at sixty miles an hour tie'
air resistance is eighteen pounds to
the square ot. Kceeul tests show it
to be more than this, but lor sake of
argument cull il eighteen pounds !
Ihe square font. No one cull contend
it is less thun that. A locomotive of
fers Ihu square fi I of resisting sur -face.
The llrst car opposes I::ii sqi.a.

lOrie railroad estimates till-1 all car?

As a mutter of fact, each of Ihe ears
has a direct from resistance- and an
equal back resistance which woiiid
amount lo "IVA square lei t more, b.tt
we will not count ibis. We have c.T!
square feet which we" are attcnipiiiig
to fore through the air at the rate .f

build thereon a billboard I wenty-fum-feet

What Is more, you caiinol haul elglir

The air wll tint permit It.
Multiply :::! by Is and yon have ihe
aliniispherle rici-laiii e, which Is n.i v

engine has a traction power of from
l.'.iii'ii to ll.li'Hi pounds. The train has
wheel m,d axle frictions exceeding
iMitj pounds. These latter fi let mns arj
constant, and before sixty miles un
hour Is reached the caducity of the lo
comotive is exhunsteJ. As u matter
of fuel, it is exhausted, long before
this. Taktt a time table anil look at -
the speed of the alleged fust trullis Of

Uilrty-fHv miles an hour; the fastest
train from Chicago to Denver thirty
two miles an hour; the fastest train
from Chicago to New York less than
forty miles an hour; the fastest regu
lar train In the world about fifty-two
miles an hour, with but four cars and
especially constructed locomotives of
enormous power. ,
HELD AS IN A VICK.
Critically observe the development of
speed of a passenger train from the
time it pulls out of a stutlou until It
attains its maximum speed. Assume
a straight and level track and u stlil
day. The speed Increases rapidly up
to twenty miles un hour. Then it is
that some mysterious but powerful re
tarding Inrliieiice begins to be fell.
What Is It? There are but four
frictions. Three of llleln - w heel,
axle and the Int-rnal fticiiun of
Ihe Incomotive- do not increase
with spied. Hul bear the InUf Of tile
wind mi this still day! Al thirty mil.'S
ii lias increased, at forty miles the en
gineer "pulls li.-r oui" three or foil"
notches, al lifty miles the sinker Is a
busy man, and unless Ihe trulu is a
slmrt one Ihe limit uf speed is reach d
before a sixty-mile un hour spVeil ui
at mined. A hurricane Is sweeping past
the train and is tugging with a giant's
strength at every projecting surface.
It whistles through the veiililuiing
windows: it roars annum the -wliccM
and brakes, ll is not safe to stand oii
Ihe plail'nriii. The train is held as in
a vice. The limit of speed has been
reached. The atmospheric lesistance
has increased with ihe square of the
velocity and the power of the locomo
tive is exhausted In the combat. The
speed is maintained only ul an enor
mous waste in fuel and power. No
railroad company cuu maintain a pas
senger tiuin service which averages a
speed of forty guiles an hour, to say
m. tiling of sixty.
It should need no extended argu
ment, no niasulng of statistical Inform
al ion lo stamp Ihe mordeii pasaenge,
locomotive and train as a mechanical
monstrosity which should have be-n
discarded years ago. If Ihe pi-eseni
I'onsli'ilctiuii is right, then the line of
the yacht lu fender are wrung, and a
scow could have distanced the Vull.yi ie.
WASTK OP ENKROY.
If my theory Is correct, the rail! nnd
companies of the I'nited Stul are
squandering millions of dollars annual
ly In wasied fuel and powvr. The fuel
bill of Ihe railroads of this country ex
ceeds Jl.i).mHl.isHi a year. This amount
Is subtracted from railroad dividends,
A proper and scientilic train con
struction would reduce this vast
amount by a material percentage. It
is impossible tn say how much until a
practical experiment Is made. Such an
experiment can lie made at an expense
of les than J10.000. J-.argef sums have
been advanced ror scientilic experi
ment of less Interest an importance.
These inventions contemplate no ex
pensive modifications In existing loco
motive und car construction. The loco
motive should have a sheared or point
ed front, so as to cleave the air. From
th front of the locomotive to the end
of ihe rear platform of the last car,
thero should he no break In the con
tinuity of the lines. The tender should
vestibule to the locomotive and to the
front car. The several cars should ba
vestlbuled flush to the outside shell of
the cars, and there should be no open
space between cars where the air now
strikes with speed-destroying force.
The windows should be flush -with the
sides of ihe cars. The sides of the cars
should curve down to the boxes of the
car trucks, bo as to reduce the air re
sistance nf the running gear as much
as possible. The surface of the entire
train, from locomotive front to the
tapered rear of the last car, should b-j
as smooth and unbroken as a yacht or
ocean steamship below the water line.
The air for ventilating purposes should
be admitted at the front of the ten
der and distributed through the train.
The present method of pasesnger train
ventilation Is unworthy of a clvlllzej
people. The engine pours out smoke
and stirs up dust. The car windows
are then opened and this dust ana
smoke and grime cinders is swirled
against the helpless and .wretched pas
sengers. At the front f the train
there Is an unlimited supply of pure
air, and the speed Insures its distribu
tion the entire length of the train.
The mechanical details are simple anil
have been provided.
With such a train present railroni
speeds can be doubled without Increase
In fuel or power, with such a train
present railroad speeds enn be main
tained with an enormous saving in
fuel, power, comfort and safety. Rail
road expenses would be reduced, pat
ronage Increased and greater divi
dends Insured.

Without a thought of death, I strove to

But terror choked my breath. Then, like

Poising itself u moment, tossing high

And when I looked.
The shore, the fields, the plain, were one

Of churning, seething foam chariot and

Gone, and my darling on the wave's white

Tossed high, whirled down,' beaten, and
bruised, and Hung,
Dying upon the marble.
OTHKR NOTABLK PORMS.
Two years after the publication nf
the "Kpic of Hades," Mr. Lewis Morris
published the poem entitled "Owen," a
drama In monologue. The scene of
j this poem Is laid in Wales, and the
I heroine Ik the daughter of a Welsh pur-
son "
I A simple girl, hull' peasant, lithe and t ill.
' With deep blue eyes uinl huir of gold.
! It Is a sweet and pathetic story of u
secret love-match between the heroine
i und the scion of un Hngllsli aristocratic
i house.

This last Volume from the pen of Sir
Lewis Morris wus published only u few

1 Wattii heart of the writer, his hatred
of injustice, nd his ken sympathy
with ' the oppressed, -a Modern
Idyll." strikes a true note, and excejo
In descriptive powers and exquisite
word music. On the whole we do not
think that our author has written any
thing sweeirr iliun Ibis winsome p. win.
If we may take a passage from the
contents to describe its quality, we
may compare it with a "caressing
breeze breathing upon sea and sky, and
wuklng the leep into rippling laughter."
In the "True Storv of Damon and Py
thlus" Sir. Morris returns to his old
love of Oreek legend, and his lines
abound with
The subtle music which attuntes
Thechordsof life to gracious. Harmony.
The tine moral exaltation of this vol
ume also Impresses us most favorably.
