Was Willing.

“Several years ago I was traveling from St. Moritz to London," said a Chicago man. “I had an hour’s wait in Paris at the Gare du Nord, so I got out of the train for a-little exercise. Like our own railroad stations, this one was full of hustle and bustle. After a few moments of wandering about I heard above all other noises a man shouting frantically: ‘ls there anyone in this place who can speak English?’ “No one else evidently could, so I walked over to where he was despairingly waving* his arms (not all ‘men from home’ are a la William Hodge), and I said: ‘I speak English.’ “‘Saved.’ he yelled. ‘I must get to Boulogne tonight! Ask one of these chattering Frenchmen where I can get the train for Boulognte!’ “‘I would,’ I answered, repressing a terrible desire to laugh, ‘if I could only speak French.’ ” —Puck.

MOST REMARKABLE RAILROAD IN CHILE

Fifty miles inland from Valparaiso is the city of Santiago, the capitalof Chile and the fourth South American, city in population. From its broad central avenue, the Alameda, lined with statues and four rows of trees, one can look upon mountains crowned with perpetual snow. From here the transcontinental tourist departs for the ride over the Trans-Andean railroad, the first rail line to conquer the tremendous Andean barrier, and probably the most wonderful feat of railroad engineering in the world. The passenger making this trip will have an experience never to be forgotten. To quote a writer: “If any other trunk line of railroad traverses a region so extraordinary, it has not yet been described.”

ELECTRICITY IN USE

Heavily Laden Freight Trains Are Handled With Ease. LOCOMOTIVES DO WORK WELL Tractors Draw Their Loads up Steep Mountain Slopes at Speed of 15 Mlles an Hour—Does the Work of Four Engines. Probably nothing proves more convincingly the success of electrification In the case of a certain Western railroad than the ease with which heavily laden freight trains are handled on the steep mountain grades. Every 24 hours five of these trains, consisting of something like sixty cars each, are moved each way across the mountains, and so well dotheblg electric locomptives do their work that there is an average saving of four hours for each train on each 100 miles of the run. This can be understood when it is realized that the electric tractors draw their trains up the steep mountain slopes at a speed of 15 miles an hour, and even better, where formerly three or four steam locomotives panted and wracked themselves in a violent effort to attain half that speed with much smaller trains.

All this is amazing when it is recalled that only a little more than 90 years ago George Stephenson’s first steam locomotive made its maiden trip nrv a rail line between Stockton and Darlington, England. The train was composed of 34 vehicles, representing a gross load of about ninety tons, and the rate of travel ranged between five and ten miles on hour. A warning signalmanrode ahead on horseback. New Type of Locomotive. Last year a, new type of locomotive made its maiden trip on the Rocky mountain division of the road, running westward from Harlowtown, Mont., over the Continental divide. How radically different it was from the British pioneer! It weighed' 284 tons, three times as much as Stephenson’s whole train, and its titanic hauling power was such that it could draw a load equivalent to 35 of Stephenson’s trains up a grade of 52.8 feet in a mile at a speed of 10 miles an hour. This capacity is typical of all of the electric tractors now used on the mountain section of the line. Superficially, they quite’ fail to give that hint of power which is characteristic of their big steam rivals. Within the rarlike body of each are eight massive 430-horse power motors, geared to a like number of driving axles, which produce a motive force of 3,440 horse power. Outwardly these locomotives appear to be two, because they are divided in the center; this is done in order to insure greater flexibility in handling and when rounding stiff curves. „ Because these tractors can be. controlled with equal ease from either end, like a trolley car, no turntable Is required at division points. From end to end the huge engines have a length of 112 feet. Gain Made in Speed. The electric. locomotive does the work of four ordinary steam engines, and is capable of handling its full tonnage on a heavy grade at from fifteen to sixteen miles an hour, as Agahmt the eight to ten miles an hourpossible with four of its steam rivals. On a 1 per cent grade, or a rise of 52.8 feet in a mile, the electric engine fs able to haul a passenger train of 800 tons at a rate of 25 miles an hour, while on level stretches it can do a mile a minute. This is a very considerable gain over the speeds obtain-

able under similar conditions with steam traction. It must be remembered that each steam locomotive is a self-contained power plant which may not be operated to the best advantage by the men In charge of it. It takes a long time to start an ordinary locomotive that has been standing in the roundhouse, and this work calls sot the attention of the engineer and fireman from the very beginning of steam raising. More than that, a certain amount of coal is burned in raising the water to the steaming point and then to the desired operating pressure. There is no return upon this outlay. Unprofitable Periods. x . Furthermore, all the time during which the locomotive is waiting in the yard or station and not actually engaged In hauling represents an unprofitable period, and finally there are the halts for fuel and water along the run and the protracted attendance at the end of the journey when the engine Is again returned to a roundhouse. One might cite other conditions, such as leaky valves, changes, of altitude, and- the effects of weather eri route, which have a very decided bearing upon the working and the cost of operating steam locomotives. See, then, how different is the story in the case of the electric tractor. Each of these electric locomotives Is entirely independent of coal pockets along the way, for it needs neither fuel nor water, and therefore does not have to drag along behind it a bulky, burdensome tender. Further, the man at the lever has nothing whatever to do with the generation of energy, and, accordingly, all of these tractors can be operated exactly alike. Needs Little Care. No matter what the grade, the motorman knows that his supply of motive force will remain constant and equal to the tax on it, his locomotive meeting each changing condition easily and without wracking stress. It can run a thousand miles without overhauling, and for that reason can cover several steam railway divisions at one stretch. It has no ashes to dump, no flues to clean, and no boiler to Inspect. It can be started out of its roundhouse at an instant’s notice; it can be housed at the end of its run with only a few minutes’ attention, and for these reasons the cost of supervision and maintenance falls far below that of its steam rival. As one of the experts has said, “Winter, above all. demonstrates the efficiency of the electric locomotive. Its x great driving power gives it a marked advantage over its steam competitor in pushing through heavy snowdrifts. Of even more importance, however, is the .fact that while the steam tractor experiences most trouble in bitter cold weather, through slow fires, loss of heat by radiation, and frozen pipes, the electric locomotive is actually at its best under such conditions. “Not only are electrical conditions favored by the dry. cold air of winter, but since practically the only difficulty with electric motors is their tendency to heat when working at maximum, it follows that the colder the weather the less the coils will heat/’

CONSUMPTION OF COAL

A report Issued by. the~.New ■York Chamber of Commerce ’ shows that the railroads of the ■ country in 1916 consumed an un- ’ precedented total of 200,000,000 ■ tons of coal. In former years, ’ the report says, the amount sei 1 dom ran above 150,000,000 tons. It is estimated that the railroads in 1916 expended $260,000,000 for fuel, allowing nothing for the cost df 'handilng.

CANADA’S INMIGRATION

Increased by About Sixty Per Cent in Past Six Months. That Canada is at war Is now more fully appreciated on this side of the boundary line, now that the United States has stepped alongside Its northern neighbor and linked hands In the great struggle for a., freer democracy throughout the civilized world. As a result of this a greater Interest than ever Is seen in the mutual effort to develop both the United States and Canada. Recently, just before the tline that the United States declared its Intention to enter the contest and contribute of Its resources to the defeat of the autocracy, whose design was to permeate the world, Western Canada made an appeal for farm labor to till the fields and prepare the soil for the crops of grain that were necessary to feed the fighting forces and keep up the requi cements necessary for the Allies. The responses were so great that before half the time limit expired, over six thousand laborers were secured. This was not sufficient, but once the United States was declared to be In a condition of war, and

farm labor required here to meet any exigency as to short rations that might arise, the sister to the.north, withdrew from attempts, which might mean a restriction of the farm labor supply In the United States. But even with this it Is thought Canada will now be fairly well supplied. Apart, however, from the farm labor proposition, It is gratifying fjgom both a United States and Canadian point of view thattheiminigratlon of farmers, to take up homestead lands and to purchase Improved and unimproved land In Canada, has shown such a wonderful Increase In the past three months.' The great struggle for Increasing the food supply has a broader and greater significance than ever. The food must come into existence, whether the rich soils of the United States or those of Canada be the factor. It Is altogether probable that the action of the Canadian Government in taking the duty off wheat going into Canada, thus automatically lifting the duty off that coming Into the United States, may not be responsible for an Increased immigration to Canada. Canada’s reputation for growing larger average yields and a better quality of grain, and on lands, many of which are free, as well as those that range from sls to $35 an acre, is an appeal that Is being responded to by farmers who are now renting high-priced lands, is another reason for expecting an- Increasing number of farmers from the United States. Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of Immigration at Ottawa, Canada, recently gave out figures concerning Immigration from the United States, which shows that the increase in the past three or four months was 60 per cent over the same period last year, and Mr. Scott forecasts that during the calendar year of 1917 there will be over one hundred per cent Increase and be much heavier than for many years that already this spring mote settlers’ effects have entered Canada than crossed during the whole of last year, and the movement has just merely started. The new settlers are coming from numerous states through the ports of Emerson, North Portal and Coutts. as well as from Oregon and Washington, through Kingsgate and Vancouver. There arrived In Saskatchewan during the year ending December 31, 1916. a total of 8,136 persons as compared with 5,812 during the twelve months previous. At the same time nearly twice as many Immigrants passed through the Immigration department

From January Ito March 31, 1917, the number of cars of stock that passed through the Winnipeg yards was 750, as compared with 361 last year. A fair estimate of the value of eaeb car would be about $2,000, which means that the West has secured additional live stock to the value of $150.000 or more, during the first three months of 1917, not taking into account that brought in by Immigrants from the United States.*—Advertisement

A Judge's Humor.

As the result of Judge Landis' peculiar sense of humor many “stories" have gone the rounds. While practicing law he was engaged In a case before Federal Judge Christian Kohlsaat. There were two other federal judges in Chicago. They were Judge James Henley and Judge Petdr Grosscup. Judge Kohlsaat called young Landis to the bench. “Say,” be said to the young attorney in a severe tone. "I understand you have been referring to me as ‘Chris’ Kohlsaat?” Young Landis grinbed and .said: “I’ll bpt I know who told you that. It was either ‘Jim’ Henley or 'Pete' Grosscup.” ~ His sense of humor has never deserted him. —Case and Comment.
