Makes a Big Reauotion OF Cost.

The work in Lansing is nearly COM
ploted, and Arnold is sure Of success.
1t is asserted Of the system that it
will reduce the cost of tranSporta-
tion by electricity from 90 to 40 per
cent, and, further, that it entirely
does away with the necessity Of es-
tablishing sub-stations for the trans
formation Of power. The system is OPP
Grated "by means of a high tension
working conductor carrying the cur
rent in n single phase alternating cur
rent motor. by means of which the
car is driven directly by the motor
and not the current" Much of the
energy which Is lost by the stopping
and starting Of cars will be. conserved
in the new system, and this storage
makes it possible to detach the cars
from the main line and run oveI'tracks
not electrically equipped.
