Electric Mountain Railroad.

One of the most interesting achieve
ments in modern engineering is the cleo
trio mountain railway recently opened
to the public at Burgenstoek, near Lu-
oerne. The rails describe one grand
curve formed upon an angle of ll2 de-
grees. and the system is such that the
journey is made as steadily and smoothly
as upon any of the straight furnicular
lines. The Burgenstock is almost per-
pendicular-from the shore of Lake Luz
cerne to the Burgenstock is 1880 feet, and
it is 2SG0 feet above the level of the sea.
The total length of the line is 939
meters, and it commences with gradi-
ent of 80 per cent. which is increased to
As per cent. after the first 400 metres,
this being maintained for the rest of the
Journey. A single pair of rails is used
throughout. and the motive power (elec-
tricitv) Is generated by two dynamos,
each of twenty FIVE horse power, which
are worked by a waterwheel of nomi-
nally I25 horse power erected upon the
river Aar at its mouth at Buochs, three
miles away, the electric current being
conducted by means of insulated copper
wires. The loss in transmission is esti-
mated at % per cent.-[New York Tele-

from the provost marshal Of the military

unknown had called Ell the tailor's and left
money in liquidation of the claim. Nearly
o month afterwsrd he again heard from
the general in command: "Has The over
coat furnished the prisoner Davis been
paid for 7" DIR. Craven's letter oosed
this important correspondence, and leaves
