THE 1oo-MILE AN HOUR TRAIN.
Test to Be Made on PrussIan State
 Railways.

Special Cable Despatch to the New York
 Sun.
 London.-The Prussian State railways between Hamburg. Hanover and Berlin will shortly conduct an interesting com- petition between steam and electrically hauled trains. The leading locomotive builders and electrical firms of Germany have been invited by the state to submit designs and specifications for steam or electric locomotives or motor cars capa- ble of making 100 miles an hour with light load, and 90 miles an hour on ordi- nary traffic.
 The tests will be a continuation of the trials of high speed electric trains on tho Prussian standard guage military between Berlin and Zossen, which hf
 been arranged on account of the
 cision to increase the speed of trains tween Hamburg, Hanover and Berlin.
 Elaborate reports have Just been pt lished of the Berlin to zossen tests.
 must be borne in mind, however. tn this is a line of only fourteen miles, and practically straight, and without al curves of a radius less than 6,560 fe, and no gradients sleeper than one in In the first trials car built al Cologl and electrically equipped by the Siemen Halske Company of Berlin, attained f very brief period speed of 1902 Kill metres, or nearly 100 miles an hour, b. the tests were abandoned owing to tl giving away of the rails. They were tt weak for the car, which weighed ov. 92 tons.
 The second series of tests were of cs designed by Chief Engineer Reiche twenty tons lighter. The reduction weight was obtained by means of abar doning the transformers on the engfn and supplying a line voltage of 10000 volt directly to the motors. This car al not attain a speed of more than sixty five to seventy miles an hour. It is be lieved that when the track and roadbe is strengthened higher rates of speed vii be possible.
 The Times, commenting on this, ex presses the opinion that even then n' particular light will be shed upon tn question of express passenger trainc Bearing in mind the nature of the Berlin Zossen line, the Times goes on to say:
 Engineers are agreed that mean speeos of over sixty to sixty-five miles an noui are practically commercially impossible on the presen two rail tracks. owlne to the existing curves and the mixtureo, o, speeds. a critical stage has been reacneo | in railway locomotion. The hvehest ,a | terest will therefore be taken Tn the working of the monorail system, wnicn l Is to be built between Manchester anu 1 Tdvernool. on which speed or llu mics

 lem of high speed.
