was in Mexico, Mo-, recently, en- cute tC

cars of the future would be built of very
light material, possibly aluminium, anC
that they will run in a tramway instead
of upon the ordinary steel rail. There

ent top-heavy coaches, and although {
speed OF from three to five miles a minute
will be possible, the chances of accident
will be lessened fifty per cent.
