One of the wonders of modern engi- neering, the proposed electric railway to the Jungfrau, will be fully described in the June Century by Ernst vOn Hesse Wartegg. At cost of six years of time and of 6,O00,O0 francs, the road has been pushed to Eismeer, half way up. When completed an electric lift, constructed through 23O feet of gneiss rock, will carry travellers to the very top of the Jungfrau summit-and this will be only one of many remarka- ble features of this marvellous Alpine railway. The Jungfrau Railroad, it is propheSied, will revolutiOnize the whole climbing sport.
