Mr.. Peary gives himself five years to

A NOVEL MOUNTAIN RAILWAY

A mountain railway constructed on a novel

feature Of the new system is That the force
Of traction is directed vertically upwards,
being Is,lgod from . balloon. The latter has
a diameter II GER, and a lifting power of
10,560!E. The balloon, car. net, ropes, ETC.,
weigh 4,620ib. and an allowance of 3. 3OOlb.,
is made for passengers and aprOnnuts, leav-
ing a margin of 2,640lb. A single rail is
used for The sole purpose Of directing the
course Of the train and keeping he balloon
with tia load captive. II this end the lail is
made T-sI,aped, aud the CIR runs on it, grip.
ping il from the aidet aud from below Tho
rail is anchored to the ground at distances Of
about 15ft Jr descending the n.ountain the
Propelling force is gravity, and tha balloon
acts as a check &c plaveut accelerated mo,
tion. A ballast Of water. r,ken in at the
top Of tho mountain provides tho additional
downward fo~ce required. The truck car

truck and rerrptacc together weigh about
600Ib., and wien there is no wind the recep-
tacle carries about I. 1Q0lb. of water making
q total Weigh of J ,7G0lb. When it is windy
the strain between he balloon and the truck
is reduced by letting the water ou5 Of the re.
