Easy to Lay Tracks.
According to an interview printed
In the Newark newspapers, the linking
OF the, new "mono-rail' line with the
McAdoo tunnel is a possibility. Bion
Il. Burrows says that 1t would be
matter OF the greatest ease to run the
trains from the 'mono-rail" road right
into and through the McAdoo tunnel
without interfering with the operation
OF trains over the two rail line. All
that would be necessary would be the
laying of single rail between the two
rails. and the installation of the neces.
sary overhead rails to preserve the
equilibrium of the "mono-rail" trains
If this is done it is asserted, pas

New York.--A young mechanical en-
gineer, for a little more than three
years, has been mystifying and anus
ing persons living near his fathers
home at Windsor Hill, Just outside of
baltimore, by his experiments with a
single rail railroad that he has con
structed
Recently all the newspapers in the
city contained the authoritative an
nouncement that John H. Starin. who
has made millions in transportation
enterprises; Charles Stewart Smith
and Woodbury. Langdon, all members
of the Rapid Transit commission, were
to back company which will build
this young engineers single rail rail
road from Jersey City to Newark.
Formal announcement of the incor-
poration of the new "mono-road" com.
pany is expected soon to be made in
Trenton, and this, it is announced is
to be followed In the next four or five
weeks by the announcement of a deal
by which the new company has ac-
quired franchise and terminal sites
in the two cities-rights presumably
owned by some existing company. In
side of year, II is promised, mono.
rail trains will be Swimming across
the marshes from Jersey City to New

modern rapid transit:

as Starin, Langdon and Smith that it

feature of the invention Of the young
Baltimore man, and marks It's gfeatoat

one OF the claims made for the
Tunis "monorail" is that trains run
ming on 1t will be practically noiseless,
one reason given for this is that the
guide wheels on top, which run in the
overhead rails, are of cast iron, oak
and leather and are SO constructed as
TO make but little noise. They also
have ball.bearings and this makes ire
speed possible. The guide
wheels are only eight inches in
diameter and less than two inches
thick. Another feature of the car
which contributes to its noiselessness
is the use of the direct current motor.
Engineer Tunis claims that the only
proper system of railroad construc-
ton is the single track, because the
double tracks are in opposition to the
laws of gravity. and make necessary
tremeudously'heavy cars.
In his cars, Tunis explains, the bot
tom will be but 20 inches above the
rail. and thus the center of gravity
will be very low The cars will have
IN almost perfect equilibrium, even

Cars Will Be Light.
Then, the cars are to be extremely
light as compared with modern rail.
road cars-another element contrihut.
ing to high speed They will not weigh
over seven tons.
Right here, in the two points inst
referred to, is the great advantage
claimed by the hackers of Engineer
Iunis's system. Mr.. Burrows in de.
| scribing its advantages said that en-.
gineers had long recognized the fact
that the great sprawling cars of the
present. with their immense weight
are theoretically wrong.
These big heavy cars are in effect
houses set upon wheels" he said.
lhese wheels are placed four feet
elsht and one-half inches apart with
the center OF gravity between them.
Inc hrst and greatest essential to the
whole system is that the cars must he
heaVy In order to remain on tbe
tracks. Here, then, is the whole kew

zeal ability to discover that a one.raiI
track is greatly superior to a two.rail

Economy in Operation.
stu another claim for the mono-raIl
trains is that they can be operated
very much cheaper because of the
economy in power it is possible IN
realize According to railroad men
from 10 to 80 per cent of the power
used to operate trains is lost in the
sidewise, swinging motion of cars
The Tunis mono-rail trains. II is de.
clared, have straight ahead motion
without any side-swing.
Nothing which ever moved nm
wheels can equal the speed claimed
Tor the Tunis "mono-rail" trains. One
hundred miles an hour is an easy mat
'er and the cars can be pushed To t5o |
miles without any difficulty. And
while the cars are going at this speed
II is claimed that the motion is SO
gentle that passengers are barely |
