Paris to MGrseiiles at Rate of
sixty Miles nm Hour

The Paris, Lyons & Medi ,erranean
Railroad company has arranged time
table by which certain trains can run
from Paris to Marselles in eight
hours and to Nice in three hours
more. All that is needed to put this
schedule in force is the sanction of the
minister of public works.
The distance from Paris to Nice u.s.
roughly speaking, GO miles. To do
the journey in Il hours would mean
an average speed Of 60 miles an hour
without making allowance for stops.
On the line from Paris to Orleans 70
miles an hour has already been at
tanned, so that high speed is no new
thing in France.
