1t is all matter Of plus and mi
nus says DIR. Albertson. IF you
have a number of magnets attached
to your car under the rail, adhering
with force equal to eleven tons to
your car. you leave one ton of pressure
remaining. This pressure is distrib

and the power required to slide them
along the rail will be very small.
have great hopes for the future Of
the electro magnetic railway. 1t Will
be better than any present system, in
that it can generate five times the
speed, even to 800 miles an hour.
"Thele will be one sixth of the
expense in iron structure and running
power, because the rails can be made
much lighter. and the horse power of
the engine reduced from three thous-
and To ten; there will be no noise
or vibration, for the train will not

be only ten houls away; and rail
road building will be less expensive
because the structure upon which the
trains viii run can be elevated and
supported by single iron pillar. rem

Magnets Remain Cool.
Travelling at such a high rate Of
speed, metal upon metal, it would
se1m that the magnets, like the jour
nails in the bearings of the present car
wheels, would heat up to such an
extent as to burn out. In order to
settle this question the inventor made
several experiments but with one re-
sult-the magnets remained COOL This
is readily explained The axles of the
ordinary train revolye continually
upon the same bearing, but the Nag-
mates are continually passing along
cool rail Heat and cold inter-
change quickly and all the heat gen.
Grated by the magnets, if any, was
quickly absorbed by the cold of the
rail And then there was another sur
prise. It was found that less elec-
tricity was necessary to keep the mag
mates charged after the train was in
motion. Magnets have never been
used to slide in this way before,
