public land than one year ago. The
large amount cancelled however is
the result of a large acreage of desert
land being filed upon for speculative
purposes and then afterward relln-

COMPRESSED AIR
A Novelty In Transportation Which
May Work Wonders.
The introduction of compressed air
as the motive power on certain of the
cross-town lines in New York which
occurred less than a month ago has
done much to increase the Interest in
this class of motor. As the compres-
sed air motors have been looked upon
as somewhat visionary in their nature
by the general public the announce-
ment that they were to be used in the
New York streets came in the nature
of a surprise.
To those who have kept in touch
with this line of thought however
there was nothing astonishing in the
announcement for during the past two
years the compressed air motors have
been improved to such a degree that
in point of economy & laast they corn-
Dare favorably with the other and bet-
ter known motors.
The history of the development of
tha motive powers from the day of the
first steam locomotive up to the present
time when the compressed air motor
may be said to have been proved a suc-
cess is an interesting subject of study.
More than fifty years ago Brunei the
great inventor conceived the idea of
making use of compressed air and he
was so confident that he was on the
track of the greatest discovery of the
age that he built a railway in England
several miles in length and equipped it
for compressed air with power stations
and conduits between the rails. His
system was to have the compressed air
forced into the conduits into which a
piston attached to the car by means of
a plow wa placed. It was intended
that this should slide along and furnish
the motive power; but the whole
scheme was a failure.
During the next half century repeat-
ed efforts were made to solve the com-
pressed air problem but none succeed-
ed as there was always a serious loss
of power due to the fact that a large
portion of the energy expended in
compressing the air was transformed
Into heat which subsequently was lost
by radiation. Another trouble that
could not be overcome - was that when
the compressed air was utilized in
motors its expansion was aocompanied
by a reduction of temperature which
produced accumulations of ice sufficient
to ohoke the exhaust.
The repeated failures along this line
have tended to discourage those whose
interest in this phase of invention was
not of the most vital character and the
progress that has been made has there-
fore been almost unnoticed. The ex-
periments that have been made during
the past few years however have un-
questionably solved the problem for
now compressed air motors of single as
well as of compound expansion have
been mad- that are almottt perfect in
their construction and toe recent or-
ganization of the International Air
Power company with its capital of
millions of dollars will do much to
remedy the slight defects that now re-
main in the invention.
The difficulties that caused the fail-
ure of all previous inventions have
been overcome in the new motors by
the discovery of better methods of
compression. Now the work is done in
ucoessive stages with intermediate
cooling as well as by reheating the
air just prior to the time when it is
introduced into the cylinders of the
motor. The reheating is done by pass-
ing the compressed air through a tank
of hot water before placing it in the
cylinders.
The single and compound expansion
motors are very Bimilar in their con-
struction. In both systems the air is
carried in storage flasks but in the
single expansion motors the cylinders
are in direot connection with the axles
while the compound expansion motors
are connected to a countershaft whose
pinions engage a gear wheel on the
axle.
The success of both motors however
has been sufficient to warrant their use
on street cars and it will probably not
be long before companies In other cities
will take advantage of the new inven-
tion. In New York it is said to be the
intention of the Metropolitan Company
to place Its entire plant under some
such system of operation in which
case the -compound expansion motors
would be used on the trunk lines run
ning north and south and the single
expansion motors on the cross-town
and shorter lines.
The following description will give
an idea of the construction and opera-
tion of the motor: The air is inclosed
in steel flasks at a pressure of 2-00
pounds to the square Inoh From these
flasks it flows in pipes around tne neat
er to a reducing valve where its pres-
sure is reduced and Its flow equalized.
The air then passes through a hot coil
to high and low pressure motors in
which it drives the piston rods connect
ed with the gear attached to the car.
From the motor the air is anowea to
escape into the atmosphere. James
