Frash Claims of a Revolntion
in Railway Travel.
A Tih-Hwm Instinct of an Hundred-
Howrfowtf Engine—A Wonder
by Meant of Magnetism—lnterna
tional Patent* Already Secured.
Three hundred mllek an hour!
» A trato wUlhw» wheels!
Such la the attractive claim made
for aa Invention of Hr. Albert C. At
bertaon. a distinguished electrical en
gineer ol the Itoyai I'ntVeralty of Hen
mark. At present Mr. Albertson Is
a oitlxen of the I'm ted States. It 's
purposed to accomplish this wonder
by means of magnetism. Alreiuly lie
lias perfeded hi* system and obtained
International patents.
Dr. Aiburtson's Invention alms sim
ply to overcome the weight of the
present railway train by moans of
powerful magnets. These are attach
ed to the bottom of the cars In such a
way aa to lift the wheels and render
a one thousand pound car as light us
one pound. The attraction of gravity
being thus overcome, the heaviest
train becomes aa light as air and can
be rushed along the tracks with only
atmospheric resistance to contend with
The magnets clamp the rail above and
below, co that It la Impossible-for the
train to leavo'the track.
At present sixty miles an hour—a
in tin a minute—la practically tlio
maximum speed, and to accomplish
this the weight and drawing power of
the locomotive hate been increased
until a three thousand horse power
engine must be attached to tlio front
of a flyer. As the weight of the en
gine Increases the weight of the
rails carrying the ongine increases,
as does the general wear and tear on
the road bed. The limit of weight,
power and hi wed has been reached,
and the railroads acknowledge then
selves unable to do much better. Two
things defeated the attainment of
greater speed—the dead weight of
train and aerlnl resistance.
Now comes the announcement that
tborc bus been dlficoccred a method
of abolishing the dead weight of the
train, leaving only aerial resistance to
be contended with. If this can be
done, as Mr. Albertson asserts, half of
: th«.J:nttle Is won: «f»0 the world may
yet l*> able to travel on the earth's
surface with the much droamed of
speed of hundreds of miles an hour.
For many years the great principle of
magnetism lias been known to eloo. rl
clans and used In practical work by
laymen. Stoel companies have found
the magnet useful in - lifting huge
metal girders. At one end of their
lifting apparatuses they have place! a
magnet, which when charged grips the
steel burs and lilts thein, no wat:«r
how groat their weight. It has been
noticed that a magnet would move >.o
come In contact with (he steel bar as
soon as It arrived within the drawing
radius, carrying any amount of weight
with it which happened to be attachod
at the time.
It is this principle which I>r. Albert
son sought to make use of —the lifting
power of a magnet when attached to
the hot torn of the car so that they
came under the rail and about an Inch
below it. Then he turned on enough
electricity to make the magnets active.
They rose upward toward the rail, l
Ing the car bodily in the air. The
weight of the train was thus simply
overcome!
Tlio Inventor next loaded he.»vy
metal into his miniature car until it
weighed several tons. The maunets
damped tightly against the rail and
refused to rllde easily. Hut as he
loaded on the weights he found that
the car moved easier the more weight
he applied up to tho point where a
balance was determined between the
weight above and tho attractive force
04 the magnets balow. The entire
weight of the car and its load was
held up by magnetic force. Practical
ly the attraction of gravitation was
abolished. The car no longer weighed
anything- Instead of bearing heavily
down upon the track it pulled up
ward; and to make It run easily all
one had to do was to add more weight
—more load—in the car, completely
reversing tho existing order of things
where It is a case of the greater the
load the heavier the train and the
slowor.
The invention Is simple. The train
readily slides upon Its magnets, the
under aide of the track being kept
well oiled. The wheels are left above
the magnets, running on the top of
the rail, without carrying aay weight,
but simply left there to act as a guide
for the train and to prevent it from
leaving the track. High speed is
therefore perfectly safe.
"It is all a matter of plus and min
us," say a I>r. Albertson. "If you have
a number of magnets attached to your
car under tho rail, adhering with a
force equal to eleven tuns and you
add a weight of ten tons to your car
you leave one ton of pressure remain
ing. This pressure is distributed
through a number of magnets, aa! thd
power required to elide them along
the rail will be very small. I have
great hopes for the future of the elec
tro magnetic railway. It will be bet
ter than any present system, in that
It can generate Ave times the speed,
oven to three hundred miles an hour.
There will be one-six I h of tbe ex
pense In Iron atructure and running
power because the ralla can be made
lighter and tbe horse power of the
engine reduced from three thousand
to tea; there will be no noise or vibra
tion. for the train will not roil, bat

DREBBMAKERS' LOSSES.:
Evan With Large Profits They are
Not So Well Off.
Among the heaviest losers on bad
debts In Now York are the tirstclaas
dressmakers. This does not apply to
tho dressmaking departments of the
largo shops, which do not deliver
goods to customers not well known
to them and tiToiKirty accredited un
less they.are paid for In advance or
on delivery.
It is the smaller dressmaking es
tablishments which ioee. They are
com|>elled to be more accommodat
ing and would soon lose business If
they made any such conditions aa the
they made any such conditions as the
dress makers allow for a profit wl.icb
ktites them some margin tor such
losses. The fashionable, well-estab
llshed dressmakcf expects to earn *
flfty per cent, clear wn every order.
Ho she can occasionally alTord to have
a few unprofitable customers.
Through waiting for tbe money due
them the dressmakers also lose. And
it Is well known that their wealthiest
clients are soiutlines t lie slowest to
pay.
"I have to send you a bill prompt
ly," a dressmaker explained to one
of her customers the other day, "be
cause I cannot get the money out of
my customers. You buy one dress
every season and can afford to pay
me for II promptly. One woman owes
me Iftl.tHltl and has done so for two
years. I have sent her bills and
mentioned the mutter to her once or
twice, hut without making any great
er Impression than to lead lior to of
fer ulways the samp remark:
" 'Why, haven't 1 sent you that yotl
1 must attend to It right away.'

"Wo r have to get tho monoy

the money would pay their bills
promptly. It would he just as easy
for them, but it is impossible to make
them do it.-New York Hun.
Yankee Inventions in Syria.
For the llrst time the ancJent and
most primitive methods of labor In
tho Holy Ijind have been disturbed by
the Introduction of Western Inven
tions. The natives of Syria have
been Jolted out of the rut of ages by
the boom of the threshing machine
and the musical whir of the reaping
machine!
Last summer an enterprising Amer
ican Imported the flret reaper and set
it to cutting the grain lu the Syrian
fields, lie had it sent all the w:iy
from Chicago. Then a little later a
steam thresher, the product of an :n

Syria. It created great excitement
among the native farmers. They

People who Eat Clay.
Chinese, Siamese, Venezuelan In

the haMt Is regarded as bad. and a
sign of languor or depraved taete.
According to M. Hokmeyer, chief
pharmacien in tho I>utch Kast Indies,
the Javanese and Sumatrans first pre
pare the clay by making a paste of it
with Water, and removing the stones
and grit. The paste is then baked on
a griddle over a charcoal lire, and be
comes a sort of biscuit. M. Ueiberg.
in a accent memoir shows that both
the yellow and gray earths eaten in

that it Is not for their nutritive
qualities that such matters are eaten.
