FOREIGNERS RECEIVE THE BENE-
FITS OF OUR EXPERIENCE.
BerIin's Proposed Underground Road
Suspension Trolley Mt Deutz-A
Berlin Street SprinISIer-StoraSc
Battery System Now in, Use in
Paris.

The fares on all the foreign trolley
roads are much cheaper than in any
of the cities here. In Halle, for in
stance, the passenger pays the equiva-
lent OF two and a half cents for four
rides. This is but fraction over a
half cent for each fare. Yet the troll
ley roads all pay handsome profits. OF
course labor is much cheaper there
than here, but the difference does not
compensate for the greatly reduced
rate as compared with the average
rates charged in this country.
In Budapest a trolley road has been
in operation some time with an under
ground contact. 1t is more costly than
the ovehead system, but has been sue
cessfuI since the first-so successful
that in many of the other large cities
on the continent projects are now un-
der way for building similar roads.
Berlin expects to have two complete
underground trolley roads in the near
future. which will be a huge improve
ment over the Budapest system. If
the Berlin engineers solve this problem

built at Leichterfeld, just outside of
Berlin, and today the German capital
has a number of trolley roads.
The trolley roads in this country
cover about $4,000 miles of ground, and
nearly $4,000 cars are in use. In all
of Germany there are but go miles of
trolley roads and about 500 cars in use.
In the other continental countries the
proportion is about the same. But
there are so many projects now under
way, particularly in Germany, that
the number of miles operated by the
trolley and the number of cars will be
more than quadrupled within two
years.
At present the overhead system, the
same as used in all the cities of this
country, has been adopted on the other
slightly wires and the surface roads
completely that the inventors are work
ing for. The inhabitants of all the
continental cities pride themselves up
on the architectural beauty and attrac-
tivenesS of their respective towns, and
this love of the beautiful has largely
restricted the use of the trolley. In
the cities of this country the people are
inclined to give up valuable franchises
and handsome streets for the sake of

A merchant prince named LANCER has
recently become the financial hacker of
Siemens, the builder of the first Ger
man trolley road, for the construction
of a road in Berlin which will be
unique affair. 1t is of the elevated
kind, but the cars hang down from
the tracks. The running gear is on the
roof of the car and the trolley wire
comes in immediate contact with it.
A test road has been built in the vast
court of the military casino at Dentz,
and it has been operated successfully.
The track Is supported at regular in
tervals by two iron uprights. connect
ed at the top by a cross bar, the cars
going between the uprights.
In Paris particular attention is paid
to a development of the storage bat
terry system, and two lines are in sue
cessful operation. Heretofore this sys-
tenn has proven very costly because of
the great weight Of the battery and
the impossibility of constructing a car
which would stand the strain for any
length of time.

the inventors there have freely taken
advantage of all the changes and i'm
provements made here. In very few
of the European cities was the troll
ley introduced until after Ut had been
made a safe venture by the work Of
capitalists of this country, and in con-
sequence the foreign towns have had
all the benefit without the cost of ex-
perinental expense.
In Germany the first trolley road was
built fourteen years ago, but was a
very crude affair. and the people of
Berlin did not regard it with much
favor The inventor, Werner Won Sic
mems, has been working constantly at
the problem of trolley construction
. since then, and has made some import

Old TunneIIing System


OF course the great obstacle in an I'M
dertaking Of this ki::I is the vast
amount of tunnelling which must be
done. In New York it has been figured
that the work will cost about 81, 600, 900
a mile for the I.:cavating alone In
Berlin, an engineer named Mackensen,
who is also the Royal railroad direc-
tor of Germany, has devised a system
by which, it is claimed, the necessary
tunnelling can be done at such a low
figure that the total cost per mile of
constructing the underground road will
be but $4,000
A Suspension Trolley.
Only rough details OF this system
have as yet reached the public. The
principal feature of it is an iron tube
1012 feet high and 8 feet wide and 2
feet in depth. 1t is claimed that with
the aid of machinery these tubes can
be pushed into place, the eXcaNatng
going on at the same time. 1t is like
wise claimed that they can be made
high and wide enough to permit of the
passage of the regulation steam loco
motive and passenger cars.
While the trolley roads of Europe are
away behind those of the United States
in the matter of quantity, they are far
superior in the matter of quality and
show a wide diversity of mechanical
design and construction.
