 The new railroad holds the record in Europe for steepness. The swift up- ward shoot of the elevators in one of the tall office buildings in New York or Chicago may convey something Of the sensation which is felt as the car on this new railroad climbs up, up, up, over 4,OO0 feet above sea level, only that the elevator is incased in steel shaft and the feeling that it may at any moment leap off into space, such as is experienced on this new Tyrolese line, is lost. The slope of the steepest portion of this line is 2,350 feet long and in its circling of the mountain 1t rises about 900 feet, the gradient being generally at the astonishing rate of about GA feet in every 100- One of our illustrations shows 8 portion of the road over which the road was built which has rise of 55 degrees, but the picture does not begin to convey the impression of steepness which rushes over one as his car reaches the bottom of the rise and the cable begins to pull you up toward the dizzy height.
 The extraordinary climb of nearly half a mile is done by means of five curves of 1900 feet emi-diameter, the utmost the irregular face of the noun tain would allow, The road over this steepest section is a marrow gauge of three feet. The cars will accommodate 52 persons comfortably. The line is 8

From Bozen via Kaitern the railroad has been continued at the normal width to St Anton by an electrically driven cable. From the latter place the rails are narrowed as already stated, and thence the train mounts up very steeply in westerly direction till the top is reached M Emile Strub, 8 native of Clarens, has constructed this remarkable railroad, and the boldness of conception of the project and the energy and daring displayed in car rytng it to complstionwoubd have done credit to the most contemplating of American engineers.
