A Fast-Flylng Train.

A Washington man has invented a
fast-hying train and track, both of
unique construction, which the New
York Herald describes. The track, it
says, is only twenty-four inches wide
between the rails. The new road will
require rail having the ordinary
width across the top, but it will be
nine and one;half inches deep or high.
They are laid two feet apart and tied,
or bolted together by heavy steel
braces. and it is expected that the I'M
usual depth OF the rail will give a
solidity in construction never before
attained. Ga the outside of each m ain
rail. and six inches from it, rise heavy
uprights, two feet in height, sup
porting on their upper ends angle
iron girders, forming a flat, contin-
uousi auxiliary railing. upon which
cush on any topping tendency of the
cars. Motive power for the road is to
be electricity. The cars and train OF
the inventors creation are unique, like
his roadway. The body of each car is
to be nearly cylindrical, having only
the fatteled area made by the floor.
The inside height, or head room, will
be about nine feet, in place of the usual
twelve feet, thus reducing to the
lowest limits the resistance Of air pres
sure against the outer surface. The
the wider gauge roads. The forward
ends of the car will b. approximately
cone shaped, giving to the train the
appearance of series of huge naval
torpedos coupled in row. The sharp
nose of the forward car is provided
with curved offsets or pilot boxes, from
which the coming engineer will ner-
vously scan the dizzy, whirling scenery
ahead.
The meat of the invention is to be
found in the trucks. Wheels five feet
high, carrying on each axle a specially
designed 100 horse power electric mo-
tor, are considered the proper thing to
develop the fast gait. The wheels are
SO high that they pass up through the
floor over foot, and the seats are ar
ranged inside the car so as to be local
ed between them. Each double truck
of four wheels carries two motors, thus
providing every car with 400 horse
power.
