Electric Suspension Railroad.

Among the technical novelties intro
duced In Germany, the new electric
suspension railroad between Leipsic
and Halle deserves mention. The sys-
tenn is a recent invention OF Eugene
Langen of Cologne, and it's distinctive
feature Is the suspension Of the cars.
The only place where the new system
has so far been tested for a short time
is on the special line between Cologne
and DeutZ, n suburb, but there it has
been found eminently successful. By
the new system the running time be-
tween LeipSic and Halle, twenty-five
miles, is to be reduced from %thirty-fiye
minutes, as at present. 70 fifteen or
twenty minutes. The Berlin munich
pal authorities are very anxious to see
this new line in operation, as in the
event Of all the promises made being
carried out, 1t is the intention to build
several electric suspension raads for
.a%t.a.acrai traffic At Rarlin.
