The unwearied electrician comes 10 the 'front.'
with the latest scheme Of rapid transit for mails
and express matter. He proposes to send such
articles at the rate Of 10 miles q minute by means
OF hight elevated structure, on which small cars,
pointed at both ends. run upon two tracks, with
motive power furnished by third rail placed over
The top OF the cars pulley connecting this track
with the cara When the cars In which the mails
al express packages are placed approach their
destination the electric current il cut on. and the
speed OF the train decreases until spring brakes
are brought into action by series OF trip levers.
When perishable goods ana the hurrying mails
can b hurried their destination &C the rate
OF 800 miles an hour, many problems which now
vex the commercial aud business world viii be
solved The invention assumes, however, that
transit through the upper air Is TO DO confronted
with no greater difficulties than those which op-
posed that method OF travel before recent ex.
periences established that all parts OF the United
States have become the sport or the festive
blizzard. Aeous rrigns, and the new railroad viii
