Easy TO Lay Tracks.
According to an interview printed
in the Newark newspapers, the linking
OF the new 'mono-rair line with the
McAdoo tunnel is possibility. Bion

matter Of the greatest ease to run the
trains from the "monorail" 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, 1t is asserted, pas

Much Interest Aroused.
How active interest in "mono-rall"
railroads is, is shown by the fact that
following the announcement OF the
plans to build the New Jersey line,
the promoters of the company have
been besieged with inquiries from per-
sons who want to introduce the sys-
TEN in other places. One Inquirer
was a capitalist who holds the con
cession for a 400-mile railroad In
South America, much of the route of
which runs through inaccessible coun-
try. The Tunis "mono-rail" Is es.
pecially adapted for use In a rough
country because OF the fact that the
lightness of the cars makes it possible
to operate the trains up almost any
reasonable grade.
To all these inquirers the promo
ters say they have replied that they
are not IN the field for The exploita-
ton of the new system, or even for
money making. Mr. Starln. the leader
in the enterprise, has announced that
his object is not to make money SO
much as to put into practical use an
invention which he believes TO be the
coming railroad system Of the future.

Right here, in the two points just
referred to, Is the great advantage
claimed by the hackers of Engineer
Tunis'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.
These wheels are placed four feet
eight and one-half inches apart, with
the center of gravity between them.
The first and greatest essential to the
whole system is that the cars must be
heavy In order to remain on the
tracks. Here, then, Is the whole key

the ability to make speed the prin-
cipal requisite should be great weight.

Economy In Operation.
stnl another claim for the mono-rail
trains is that they can be operated
very much cheaper because of the
economy in power 1t is possible TO
realize. According to railroad men,
from 10 to 80 per cent OF the power
used to operate trains Is lost In the
sidewlse, swinging motion OF cars
The Tunis monorail trains, IL Is de-
clared, have a straight ahead motion,
without any side-swing
Nothing which ever moved on
wheels can equal the speed claimed
for the Tunis "monorail' trains. One
hundred miles an hour Is an easy mat
ter, and the cars can be pushed to 150
miles without any difficulty. And,
while the cars are going at this speed.
1t is claimed that the motion is so
gentle that passengers are barely
aware of the fact that they are NOV
ing. The ierky swinging motion of
wo-rail trains is declared TO be en-
drely absent.

vantage is claimed, and this is the
most important Of all-the matter OF
cost.

Means Immense Saving.
According to the estimates made
for the New York hackers of the
project, a four-track, elevated line,
such as II is proposed to build be-
tween Jersey City and Newark can
be constructed for $4,000 per mile.
To build four-track elevated road,
similar to the present elevated system
in this city, would cost 100000 per
mile. This does not include the cost
OF power or equipment-oniy the
structure and tracks.
The projectors of the new enter
prise figure upon building the eight
miles of elevated track between Jer-
sey City and Newark for $4,000 900.
To build the ordinary type of elevated
road, with four tracks, would cost be.
tween S7OOO,OOO and sS,OOO,OOO 1t
is this cheapness of cost which in
spires the hackers of the enterprise
to hope that they win reap tremen-
dous profits, and that the success OF
this initial road between the two Jer-
sey cities will be followed quickly by
