Ipud of Train Is Afl'ectcd by the Bow.-
Intlon of the Enrtlm
It is as for from llufl‘nloto New York as
it is from New York to Buffalo, yet, if we
are to believe the reasoning of Mr. Alex-
ander Ilcgg, a correspondent of The Rail.
way Gazette, the railway run can be made
more easily in the formcrdlrection because
the speed of the (astwnrd moving train
being added to that of the rotating earth
the reduction of weight due to centrifugal
force is grcntrr. We quote such portions
of Mr. Houg's letter as do not involve
dlfllcult mathematics:
“f'hl will the New York Central and
End filliverrallroad ran a train 486%
miles in 425 minutes and «if! seconds, or
an average of fill; miles per hour. The
weight of the train was «50,000 pounds.
The same company on Sept. if, 1595,
made the mmarkahlq run of the same 436%
miles in 407% minutes.
average of fluid miles per hour.
“The New York Central, in starting
both tunes from New York city, unneces-
sarilyreturded its own speed. From Al-
bany'tu Buffalo, duo west, the train en
countered not only the prevailing west
wind, but the force‘of the earth's revolu-
tion eastward. V
“Owing to the diurnal rotation of the
earth, bodies at the equator press toward
the earth with two hundred and eighty-
clght-two hundred and clghty-nlnths of
thoprossuro they would were the earth
deprived of its rotation. If, thereforo, the
rotation of tho earth could. be accelerated
until it took only one-seventeenth of the
present shlcrcal day to make a complete
turn or revolution, the centrifugal tend-
ency would be increased (17) twofold-
that is, it would be 2389 times as great as
new, and bodies at thoequator would have
no pressure downward, or, as we say,
would wuigh nothing. This rate of revo-
lution would not be sufficient to deprive
bodies anywhere else of their entire weight.
“Now let us apply this to railroad
trains. A train running east, at the equa-
tor, would be lightened as compared with
the weight on a still earth. If running due
wost,.tho result would be less. And the
difference of weight between the same
train, running east and west with the
same velocity, would be a certain frac-
tion of its total absolute pressure. Exam-
ple—Taking a train running, say 70 feet
per second, or nearly 48 miles per hour,
this fraction would not be far from one
one thousand six hundredth part; in run-
ning 60 miles per hour it would be one
one thousand two hundred and elghtleth
part, and if running 100 miles per hour, or
N7 feet per second, it would be the one
seven hundred and slxty-flfth part, nearly,
and it would be greater and greater as the
speed is increased, and still greater-as both
speed and weight of the train arc in-
creased. Tho train of the New York Cen-
tral was 837 feet long and weighed 565,000
pounds. -
“This calculation, it will be observed,
as said, will be true for the equator. The
New York Central train ran from Albany
to Huflalo upon about the forty-second
parallel of latitude and " ‘ ‘ therefore
this calculation should be corrected for
this latitude and would be about seven-
tenths as great. ”I
Other correspondents agreed with Mr.
Hogg in principle, though not accepting
all his mathematics. One of them ends his
letter with the following rather jocose sug-
gostion:
“It is well known that when the moon
is above us it draws movable objects away
from the earth and when it is .on the up-
poslto side of the earth it draws the earth
away from movable objects here, thereby
causing the tides. It might be well to sug-
gest to the New York Central officers that,
as the tides travel from east to west, they
may perhaps offset the disadvantages un-
der Mr. Hogg’s theory by starting when
the position of the moon is propitious and,
as they would ‘keep in the tide' while go-
ing west, they still may be able to make
fast time going west, even if the engineers,
or, indeed, the engines themselves, learn
of disadvantages of centrifugal force when
thnv are trying to make Bnflslo."
“You are well fitted for the position,
but I should prefer a married man."
"Perhaps we can arrange that. I see
you have true daughters.”
There comes a time in every man's
life when he is never well, and a little
later a time when he becomes used to it
and doesn't mention it.
