GASOLTNE OAR EXPERIMENTS. Erie Tl Unks Now Service Will Ihj Successful. Tho Fobrunry nutnbor of tho Erie's Employees' Monthly Magc'.no says: Tho experiments wlth( gasoline mo tor cars which tho Erio rnllrood has been conducting for mora thnn two years bid. fair to bo successful. The management realized some time ago the need of a frequent and economl; cal passenger service on branch lines whero the traffic was not largo enough to Justify ordinary steam trains, though in volume it required a servlco of less expenslvo chnrncter and entored upon a resenrch which took both time and money, nnd hns In a measure solved tho problem. Tests wero mndo with cars driven by steam, electric and gasoline en gine, but so far the gasoline enr has shown thnt tho best results In eco nomy of operntlon and durability. Although tho question must still be regarded as someivh'at In the ex perimental stage, the experience thus fnr gained Indicates that tho gasoline motor will bo the propelling power for districts whero n frequent rather than a heavy service Is neces sary. Tho Erie has several branch lines nnd divisions where oven ordinnry passenger trains nro unprofltnble, but with n motor, efficient, service can bo given, making the necessary dally trips, thereby giving the public opportunities for journeys anu at a lessened loss to the railroad. Gasoline motors aro In use on the Bradford division between Snlnmnn ca, N. Y., and Bradford, Pa., and be tween Attlcn nnd Avon, N. Y., on tho Rochester division. On tho Brad ford division tho motor car Is a handsome vehicle with baggage and smoking rooms besides a compart ment for ladles. It is equipped with six-cylinder gasoline engine and is making punctual trips. Another on tho Attlcn nnd Avon route is smnll er, having no baggnge compart ment. The Erie, hnvlng a year ago elec trified its Rochester division between Mt. Morris and Rochester, hns innu gurnted tho triple forces of stenm, electricity nnd gasoline for motive power.

Thore are 1S1 doctors' signs in six blocks of Chestnut street. A row of black men washing a row of white marble doorsteps gives a fine effect In chiaroscuro. Thore nre not nearly so many sky scrapers as In Buffalo; except In a few buildings tho elevators run only when you ring for them. The sidewalks are brick as New York's were a hundred years ago Thero are still some Open sewors In the middle of the streets. On wash days they run full und visibly soapy The Schuylkill wator is always muddy. Part of the city now has a filtering system. Tho rest buys spring water. There are almost no larger-beer saloons. There arc no French and Italian restaurants. Thero aro only a fow hotels. Tho many boat-houses In Fair mount Pnrk along tho Schuylkill are built solidly or stone. Most of the dwellings are of red brick and nearly all small. Dr. Weir Mitchell In his new novel calls Philadelphia 'The Red City." A fair house In a fair quarter rents for J25 a month. Negro children attend nil the pub lic schools and the white people scud theirs to prlvato schools when they can ralso tho money.
