CHAPTER II.
THE 312'515 30060.
Paul Harley stepped into his car
in Chancery Lane. "Drive in the di-
rection ef Hyde Park Corner," he di-
rected the chauffeur. "Go along the
Strand."
Glancing neither right nor left, he
entered the car, and presently they
were proceeding slowly. with the
stream of traffic in the Strand, "Pull
up at the Savoy," he said suddenly
through the tube.
The car slowed down in that little
bay which contains the entrance to
:the hotel, and Harley stared fixedly
out of the rear window, observing the
occupants of all other care and cabs
which were following, For three
minutes or more le remained there
watching. "Go on," he dir cted.
Again they proceeded westward
and, halfway along Piccadilly, "Stop
at the Ritz," came the order.
The car pulled up before the colon.-
ade and Earley, stepping out, dis-
missed the men and entered the hotel,
walked through to the side entrance,
and directed a porter to get him a
taxicab. In. this he proceeded to the
house of Sir Charles Abingdon.
"Mr. Paul Harley?" said the butler,
tentatively.
"Yes, I am lea."
"Sir Charles is expecting you, sir.
He apologises for not being in to re-
ceive you, but he will only be absent
a few minutes."
"Sir Charles has been called out?"
inquired Harley as he handed his hat
and coat to the man.

New Styles in
Locomotives
Tn 1d3 Dr. Rudolf Diesel published
his classic "Theory and Construction
of -a Rational Heat Motor," in which
he described en entirely new typo of
prinro''mover. Air' was to' be' com-
pressed in a cylinder tinder a pressure
of four hundred to Seven hundred
pounds to the square inch and "'there
by heated to incandescence. Oil in-
jected into this highly heated 'com-
pressed air was to be ignited "epon
taneously and the resultant expansion
was to give a poWer impulse to 'a pis-
ton. It took four years of experiment-
ing and 4107,000 in money to reduce
this simple principle to commercial'
practice and to, give the, world the
most efficient engine ever invented.
Originally ' built. ' as a' , 'stationary
motor, the Diesel demonstrated its-,
ability to compete ' with the highly
economical marine .engine as early as , •
1912, el which year the first motor `
ship was launched. More than halt

Lion will be Diesel driven. Fired by
these victories' on landand sea, it Was
inevitable that the disciples of Diesel
should boldly attack the difficult prob-
lem of hauling trains .111 accordance
with his principle. Here Is an engine
at least three times as efficient as the
steam locomotive in converting heat
into mechanical energy. No time Is.
lost in raising steam. Long runs can
be made without stopping for fuel or
Water. .leo ashes need be removed, no
fireboxes and boilers cleaned. The
cost of maintaining a locomotive is
reduced one-half., Such striking ad-
vantages more than outweigh a high-
er initial cost and a greater: weight.
No wonder, then, that about sixty
Diesel locomotives- and railroad cars
are now in use and under construc-
tion in different parts of the world.
Mulch research must still be con-
ducted before the Diesel locomotive
is sta'ndardizetl. There is no unani-
mity' of opinion on the" method of
transmitting power to the a°:cle. In
Europe the tendency is, all toward
change -speed gearing, so that the
Diesel locomotive beeonreo a glorified ,
automobile. In the+United States the
engine drives a generator which sup-
plies electric energy to axle -motors.
Whichever typo persists, the Diesel
locomotive promises to be a boon to
expendtrelyoperated branch lines and
poen' roads. .Indeed, it may evert stave
off the day of trunk-Iino electrifica-
tion.
Yat it world be a mistake tp con-
clude that the plcturesgne- steam lo-
comotive is doomed to join the clipper
ship. Highly standardized as it is,.
the railroad steam engine' has not
been the subject of research as inten-
sive as that, for example, which has
given us 1110 modern electric lamp or
the telephone. The locomotive of to-
day is still a crude machine, its pos..
sibilitioi by no means developed.
Ljungetvom and Zoolly, two brilliant
i3uvopeat' engineers, have convincing
ly demonstrated .what can be accom-
plished by research. They have cast

which intoxicated^drivers are con+
