The novel feature of the invention consists
of single rail, like long ribbon. extend

the rail, while the other two rest on the
ground The cars are furnished with two
wheels, placed underneath in their long

their weight. while two other wheels. dos-
tined to preserve their equilibrium, are
placed on the outside. The experiment

as it showed beyond doubt tho possibility
of overcoming the difficulties inherent to the
ascent OF very steep grades a portion OF
the road presented series OF very short
curves, of a radius of only sixty.fvo feet;
these the train followed with marvellous
smootbness and regularity. On the return

the system seems to be well adapted. The
locomotive used on the occasion weighed
only three tons. The cost OF such a iue in
France is estimated at atout $3.50 per
