"W. Board For To-day Patents Ap
plied For During the Year of
1800 Increaso Over 1808.
A most Interesting and important
railway experiment Is now being con
duced by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company with a passenger
train of peculiar construction, design
ed by Frederick U. Adams, formerly
of Chicago, but now of New York.
The train is variously designated as
the "wind-splitter," tho "cigar-shaped
train," and other terms descriptive of
Its design. Mr. Adams Is at a loss
for an appropriate name, and describes
his invention as a railway train cal
culated to offer the least possible re
sistance to the atmosphere. He has
constructed a train with the idea of
treating the air as if it were a iluld
with the same qualities of pressure and
resistance as water, and argues that
If high speeds are to be obtained with
economy as much attention should be
paid to the lines of passenger coaches
as to those of a steamship or yacht.
Under the Adams plan of construc
tion there is a continuity of lines from
the engine cab to the rear car. All
possible obstructions are avoided. The
spaces between the cars are closed by
flexible connections, which, while per
mitting the flexure of the train on
curves and rough tracks, yet present
no opening for air. All air for venti
lation is admitted from the front end
of the tender, below the smoke from
the locomotive and above tho dust
from the trucks. It passes through
durts along the car roofs and is dis
trlbuted in the train, escaping through
registers in the floor. An ordinary
locomotive is use.
Six old passenger cars have been re
modelled on these plans, and a series
of tests Is now being made. It is
hoped that a means will be found to
secure higher speeds with economy and
to provide some means of ventilation
other than that of opening car win
dows. The field Is a new one and im
portant results are expected. Tho
tests thus far show a decided economy
In power and an increased speed rang
ing from seven to twelve miles an
hour. Mr. Adams is confident that a
careful study of the .construction and
pf the air currents will lead to far bet
ter results.
With light engines the six cars have
een hauled at exceedingly high
speeds. The best runs thus far have
been eighteen miles in sixteen min
utes, ten miles in eight minutes, 4.6
iplles In three minutes and eighteen
second?, and, two miles In seventy-ono
jecorvJa. Hallway officials are intent
i watching these tests. Prominent
NfW York and Baltimore capitalists
Aro Interested in Mr. Adams' Inven
tions a,nd his train will have a thor
ough trial on various roads in tho
summer.
D. L. W. Fast Train to Chicago.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad has now, through an
arrangement with the Wabash rail
road, the running of a train between
Chicago and New York, In twenty-five
hours.
The. Lackawanna and Wabash are
Known ag differential lines. They got
th privilege several years ago of mak
ing lower rates than the standard
lines on condition that they should
stop paying commissions on passenger
traffic and should not run any through
trains between New York and Chi
cago in less than twenty-elght hours.

During the year 1S93 21,080 patents
were applied for. compared with 20.0S0
In 1S9S and 18,347 In 1SS7. Of these,
7,430 were awarded after examlnatlpn
by tho patent ofllee, the correspond

says the Electrician. Thus, while the
number of applications Increased by
only 3.7 per cent., the number of suc-

per cent. During the year 5,171 patents
have expired or become void and the
total number of patents In force Is
22,198, The increasa In the number of
patents awarded is chiefly marked In
the case of electrical apparatus and
machinery. Two hundred and slxty

GAVE ART GALLERY
TO CITY OF BUFFALO
PUBLIC SPIRIT OF MR. AL
BRIGHT AGAIN DISPLAYED.
Description of tho Beautiful Build
ing tho City by tho Lake Will
Possess Because of His Generosity
and Interest in Her Development,
Will Bo One of tho Most Sightly
Structures of tho Kind in America
and Will Bo Strictly Fireproof and
of Fine Material.
A Buffalo exchange prlnt3 the fol
lowing with lcferenco to the art gal
lery which John J. Alb'ight, former
ly of this city, but now of Buffalo,
N. Y., has given to that city:
Today the general puhllc will be, for the first
time, enabled to form a visual idea of the beau
tiful marble Palace of Art which John J, Al
bright will present to the people of Buffalo,
through looking at pictures of the structure made
from the perfected plans.
Much has bem expected of this building, but
it is rale to say that the reality will even ex
ceed expectation. Green k Wick, the architects
to whom Mr. Albright entrusted the important
work of the building, hate given a great deal
of time and labor to the task and brought to
bear all the best resources of their art. Tha
result will be a building which will form on of
the most beautiful ornaments of Buffalo during
the years to come.
The architects, in maklntr, the plans for tha
Albright Gallery hare gone to that purest foun
tain of architectural art the architecture of clas
sic Greect for tha source of their Inspiration.
Perfected centuries before the Christian era, the
archltecturs of Hellas has never been improvd
upon. No othir style of architecture could so
well hate been selected for a building designed
to become ie homo of art. No other style of
architecture is so pure that its beauty will never
rale by constant seeing, but, instead, will con
stantly grow on those who beheld it.
Perhaps it will be possible, by verbal descrip
tion, to give tome Idea of what the Albright
library will look like when built, As the vlii
tor approaches from any direction, the knoll
which rises above North bay, in tho southwest
corner of Delaware rark, he will see, shimmering
through the green foliage of the treee, the gleam
ing sides of a beautiful Greek temple, built of
pure white marble. Standing thirty feet above
tho lake, with absolutely nothing to detract from
it, and with the green of grass and forest as a
setting, the gallery will stand out as a conspicu
ous object.
SIZE OF BUILDING.
The building will face east and west, and its
longer lines will, therefore, run north and south.
The gallery will measure SSO feet north and south
and IK) feet east and west. The building will
be a one story structure in the Ionic atjle of
Greek architecture less severe than the Doric,
leu ornste than the Corinthian. Its highest
point, the peak of the roof of the main part,
will be forty-five feet from the ground. Its I en
eral plan will be that of a main central par,
narrower parts at the north and aouth conne't
ing the projecting end wings with the main por
tion oi the building.
Aa one atands on the terraro below, at the
lake approach, Ma attention will first "at on
the Imposing portico of the main building, the
roof of which will be aupported by eix milestie
Ionic columns twenty-seven feet high. Back ,t
these are two other and almilar columns. The
main building ia one hundred feet deep and ssv-enty-one
feet wide, Next the observer will see
graceful eolonadej running to the no."h and
south. The north porch, in accordance with the
expressed desire of Mr, Albright, will renmble
as to style and detail the Caryatid porch fiom
the famous Erectheum at Athens. The south
porch will be similar In general lines to Ihe
north wing, but will be a reproduction rf rome
famous ancient monument in order la lead an
archaeological interest to the structure,
The Elmwood avenue aide of 'he bulldinjr, or
ita western face, will akow the jame roof ol the
main building, but Instead of the squire pcrh
of the main part will be seen a semi-circular
row of columns the exterior of the Uemlevcle.
As on the eastern facade, there will be rowj cf
columns connecting with the wings.
As the visitor passes through the main ap
proach he will enter tho atatuary court, uhleh
will be 60x71 feet in site, with two additional
rooms at the north and aouth aides, respectively,
20x27 feet. Here will be the main Interior archi
tectural effort one of columns and pe.-jp:ctlvj.
On each eide of the main court will be eight
columns, with two more columns behind at the
entrance to the smaller rooms. This coi;rt will
be purely for statuary,
T1IK 1IEMICYCI.E.
raising straight through the stt'iary couit,
the visitor will reich the Hemic) cte, the a-jtiarcd
aide of which rests on the end ( the statuary
court, with the bow out toward Elmwood ave
nue. This room wilt be 43x33 feet In site and
will be used for lectures on art.
The wings and connecting portions will be
devoted to galleries three galleries In each wing
and one in each of the connecting parts. The
two largest galleries will be 3553 feet and the
smallest 31x43. After the Pan- merlcin cxpoil
Hon the north galleries will be dlviJoi up Inlo
studios for painting and sculpture.
Under the building will be a hlgi, light base
ment which will be used for heating an I elcctlli1
lighting apparatus, cloak and blcjclj rooms, lata
torles, Janitors' quarters, packing and storage
ronm, etc.
The building will be strlc.ly fireproof. The
only materials used In constructs i will be white
marble, steel beams, brick, cement and stone.
In order to secure absolute beauty and har
mony the terrace on uhleh the building will
stand will be squared to a level plateau. The
terrace, 200x300 feet, on which the gallery will
stand, will be paved with marble. The grounds
will be embellished with statuary and fountains.
Three flights of steps will lead up from tin Jake
approach to the gallery.
It Is intended to begin the construct!'!.! of the
building as soon as possible and the irrhito"S
are now getting estimates on marble The .m
mene amount of 25,000 cubic feet of rairblo will
be required, and it may be dlfflcuH to get it.
One thing, the architects say, Is certains Tli-at
while fery effort will be made to have the pal
ltry completed In time for the Tan-American ex
position, no inferior quality of stone will be
cepted becau"c it can be got more quickly or
more easily. Everything mut be of the ber.
It Is stated that the cc-t of the building will
be $350,000, "or as nesr that sum as practicable."
One thing Is sure the building will not be per
mitted to sutler because of any arbitrary limita
tion ot funds.
Mr. Albright Is the public-spirited
man who caused our beautiful public
library building to be erected on Wash
ington avenue as a memorial to hla
deceased parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
J. Albright.

WORK ON THE NEW SYSTEM.
Lackawanna Telephone Company
Beginning Construction.
Active work on the Installation of
the Lackawanna Telephone company's
new plant was begun yesterday morn
ing by D. M. ltosser, of Kingston,
who has secured the contract for plac
ing the conduits in tho central city.
Work was commenced on Ureck court
In the rear of the Republican building,
In which structure the exchange Is to
be located. About twenty-llvo men
were put at work excavating a ditch
som five feet deep and this number
will ba later Increased.
Contractor Itosser states that ho ex
pects to have all tha conduits laid by
Aug. 16. Engineer A. B. Dunning, who
Is supervising the work, shares this
belief. The conduits, according to tha
provisions of the ordinance, are to bo
placed in the territory bounded by
Railroad alley, Franklin avenue, Vino
street and Washington avenue. In all
other parts of the city poles will bo
erected.
The contract for tha furnishing of
the poles has already been let and
they are expected to arrive here in
the course of a week or two. Tho
work of erecting them and stringing
the wires will be commenced as soon
iii they reach the city and will be
carried on simultaneously with tho
laying of tho conduits. This part ot
the work will be in chargo of John F.
Taubold, who comes hero from St.
Louts.
T:ie work of placing tho conduits
will be done under tho direction of
George Baker, of New York, while P.
J. O'lloyle, ex-street commissioner,
will act as Inspector. Tho conduits or
ducts nre to bo laid on and covered
by three Inches of concrete. Kach
conduit will carry a cable, and somo
seventy-two of these are to leave the
exchange, forty-four running south
and twenty-eight north. Each cable
contains a large number of separate
wires, somo of them as many as 240.
It is believed that by the timo the
conduits have all been laid that tho
greater part of the wires will have
been strung and that by Sept. 1, the
system will be In fairly complete
working order.
