TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SJR,—Feeling assured that it is a leading of of your
Journal to encourage in every possible way the spread of
science and general knowledge, I hope you will be able to
hod room therein for the insertion of a public challenge,
which I have recently issued to the scientific world, and
in the result of which the public are most de,:ply inte-
rested. My motive for adopting this course is fully stated
in the Mechanic's Magazine of the Bth inst., and arises
from a difference of opinion, which exists as to the com-
parative eligibility of an undulating or horizontal rail-
way—it being my decided opinion, that by the adoption of
the undulating principle, one•third, at least, of the entire
expense of making the railway from London to Liverpool
(exclusive of the cost of land) may be saved, and the rail-
way completed in one-third less time than it would other-
wise be. I am, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
RICHARD BADNALL.
