The Railway for the ascent of We
suvius is now finished. It is 900 me-
tiers in length, and will enable tour
lists to ascend by it to the edge of the
crater. The line has been constructed
with great care upon a solid pavement,
and it is believed to be perfectly Sc
cure from all incursions Of lava. The
mode Of traction, says the Engineer,
is by two steel ropes put in movement
by a steam engine at the foot of the
cone. The wheels Of the carriages
are so made as to be free from any
danger Of leaving the rails, besides
which each carriage is furnished with
an exceedingly powerful automatic
brake, which, should the rope by any
chance break, will stop the train al
most instantaneously. One Of the
chief difficulties of the undertaking
was the water supply, but that has
been obviated by the formation of two
very large reservoirs, one at the sta
ton, the other near the observatory.
