years Of this time have been expended
in endeavoring to get official recog-
milton. He has at last secured body of
engineering experts which has said that
the scheme proposed is feasible and
safe. On this recommendation the
local authorities have sanctioned the
roads construction up the mountain.
Bad Reichenhall is summer place,
visited each season by thousands of per-
sons, not only natives, but travellers
from other countries, who have been
drawn there to take the waters. The
top of the Hochstauffen mountain Of
fers a most lovely view, but the climb
TO the summit is tedious and uninvit-
ing one. It's well-trodden paths offer
none of the charms and excitements of
mountain climbing, because the noun
tain is SO undiversifed. It's sides pre-
sent steep slope, varied but little, and
this makes the walk unattractiye until
the top is reached. Here the most en-
trancing view presents itself, and is one
which no sojourner in the neighbor-
hood permits himself to miss.
The power by which visitors are to
climb this mountain is furnished by
captive balloon. This runs along a
track built at the side of the roadbed.
A trailer. furnished with many wheels,
clasps this wooden rail, and to this
trailer the passenger car is fastened.
The operator has seat in the car,
and cord swings between his place
md the balloon, by which the gas sup
ply is regulated. He has also several
brakes and safety devices at hand in
case Of accident.
At the foot of this unique railroad is
a gas tank and generator. Gas is made
here to illuminate the town, and also
for the purpose of filing the balloon.
A charge sufficient to carry the car to
the top of the mountain is given it at the
start, and when the grade has been
mounted and all is ready for the return
/ down the mountain, small quantity Of
gas is released and the car starts down.
its rapid descent being checked by the
, gas that has been allowed to remain in
the balloon.
Permission to construct the aero
static railroad was granted only after
the most searching investigation had
been made of the plans. There are
j many novel safety devices to prevent
any serious accidents.

Automobiles Are RECOGNIZED.

By decision of the project of the
Seine horseless carriages have just been
admitted to all the rights and privileges
for public service in the ordinary facre.
The step is a wise one, and it will be in
teresting to watch the progress of the
competition. If some such bylaw were
made in a few large towns in England
the industry might soon become great
one, but all the while it is confined to
the Crystal palace exhibitions it is not

One of the latest has resulted in secur
Ing photograph without the aid of
camera.
These photographs are produced by
I'm electric discharge from an inductive
coil. The object is placed on the sensi-
tive plate and contact is made by con-
hecting the apparatus with a battery.
Photographs of coins and other metallic
substances have been made in this way.
The coin is placed upon sensitive plate,
the plate resting on sheet of metal
connected with one terminal of the coil,
with the other terminal connected with
the coin. A discharge of one or two
seconds has been found sufficient to
produce an image of the coin. A halo
produced by the radial discharge iva-
"iably surrounds the image on the coin.
