ELECTRIC MOTORS UNDER GROUND
European Cities VIII Construct Tun-
neIs for Their Trolley Reads.

Pittsburg Dispatch: When electric IN
foreground railroads were first proposed in
Europe, great prejudice was created
against them by the emphasis laid by
their opponents on the danger and incon-
venience of carrying crowds of people
down elevators into the bowels of the
earth, and the risks of being caught in an
accident in a tunnel fifty feet below the
surface of the ground. In this country
this hole in the ground failacy is still
in use as war cry. but in Europe it has
received its quietus from the indisputable
success OF the system of the underground
e.ectr-c traction.
When the facts and figures of this sys-.
tenn are impartially considered it is hard
TO escape from the conviction that il is
the most sensible and effective solution of
the question of rapid transit for large
cities now in existence. II is said, in fact,
that nearly all the large capitals in
Europe have now in contemplation rail-
roads of tbs DESCRIPTION.
The new line at Buda-Pesth has just
been opened. The cost CT the double
track road was S656,G00 per mile Tit
average speed maintaised, including stop
pages, is nizmiies an hour. The station
platforms are from ten to IS feet wide.
The station walls are covered with white
glazed tiles. All the iron parts through
out the tunnel are painted silver color,
which reflects the light and makes the
tunnel as light as day. In the hottest
weather the cars are delightfully."- cool
One of the most suggestive features of the
road is that in the morning and evening
nearly every passenger IS reading his
daily paper, which he does with al the
comfort and ease of daylight conditions.
Brussels IS about to lay down a system
of Greathead tunnels. The line will run
80 feet below the surface, and will be
operated by electricity The line is to
cost less than si.00o.O00 per mile. 1t will
have an automatic block system, which
will make collisions impossible
In London there are no fewer than six
electric underground roads now au-
thorized. Two of these are at present
being actively pushed forward. The work
is regularly progressing, unhindered by
any springs that may be encountered, as
the shield used in driving the tunnels
is watertignt and alright. There are no
signs of the excavation visible to street
passengers, excepting only at the sites OF
proposed stations. The minimum depth
of the tunnels VIII be so feet and the
maximum depth leo feet. Access from
above 10 the platforms will be had by
monster elevators. each with a CARRYING
capacity of $50 persons. The cost of con-
struction and equipment is S25C0.0 Geo. The
trains w II be running next summer. Thsy
will be dispatched at two and one-ha.f
minute intervals
1t will serve to give some idea of the
magnitude of these combined railway en-
terprises when 1t is considered that the
number of new stations they will in
volve VIII reach total OF IS.

spirits cannot now be bought in smaller
quantities that 80 liters, which practi-
callv means the nonsale of spirits in
such towns. But in some towns privi-
leges are still held by fCivate indi-
viduals. This is the case in Skien, where
the spirit traffic fourishes undiminished
to the great chagrin of those whose zeal
has secured the abolition of the samlag.
But no sooner are the samlags abolished
which IS generally effected by agitation,
and gives rise to considerable i'll feeling.
sources of income have thus been lost
to the communities. The profits from
the samlagS were always utilized for the
support of charitable institutions and
objects of general local interest, which
must now be maintained by taxing the
ratepayers or else be totally abandoned.
The new Norwegian liquor law may
have its advantages, but when il con-
tains clauses prohibiting the sale, even
IN the best hotels. of any kind of spirits
from Saturday midday to Monday morn
ing the law becomes inexpedient and
onerous- This is proved by the fact that
the Gnristiania police authorities have
FOUND 1t wise TO make representations TO
the government to obtain the relaxation
of the above-named clause. The liquor
question IN Norway seems to be under
going a crisis OF alteration. Willing as
the NorWegianS seem to be to reduce the
sale OF spirits 10 minimum, they are
scarcely likely to allow of such far-reach-
ing encroachmentS on the personal liber-
ties of free citizens of a free country
The prohibitions already existing in some
districts against the sale of spirits have
already led TO evil results in the shape
of the excessive use Of naphtha by the
lower classes, and in the introduction of
a class of liquor called laddevin.' which
on analysis quite lately has been found
to contain highly injurious ingredients,
and the sale of which is now strictly for
hidden" The British consular agent at
Tonsberg also mentions in his report that
the samlag in that town was abolished
by public vote, so that for five years
brandy cannot be obtained in the town.

proper is simplicity itself. The logs.
usually of spruce or ar. are cut into
suitable lengths, from foot and a
half to four feet long, and these are
then ready for the grinders" These
pieces have been carefully freed from
knots and denuded of bark, and care
is taken that they shall be free from
any defects or rot. The grinders are
heavy machines, usually driven direct
1y by a waterwheei and very much
resemble a, wheat-grinding burr very

They consist of large rotary grind
stones of special strength, and of

FAILURE OF GoTaENBURG SYSTEM
Attempt to Make the snIe of Liquor
in Norway n Monopoly Futile.

in Norway Monopoly Futile.
London Times: The British vice consul
at Skiensilord. in his latest report states
that during the past year the time ex-
pired for which two of the towns in his
district-Sk;en and Brevig-had the right
of having the Gothenburg system of
bolags. or samlags. for the sale of spirits
as q monopoly. According to the new
liquor law. the inhabitants of towns
have the right of vetoing the further ex-
istence of any bolag in iseir town. Both
Skien and Brevig voted by large ma
jorities against it. so that they have no
longer those bolags. which We're so
warmly advocated by the Norwegian
press when the question OF the Gcthen-
burg system was fully ventilated short
time ago. The fact of the boiags having
been voted down in several other towns
in Norway besides Skien and Brevig
shows that they are not so popular as
might be supposed. But it should be
stated that it is mainly owing to the
persevering agitation of the teetotal ele-
ment. aided by the women's votes. that
these samlags are being ousted. In
towns where these institutions are thus
abolished. and where no privileges for
the sale of spirits are still held by pri-
yate individuals from former days.
