all ready to yield electric power. In
that the future seems to be and the
successors of Marc Seguin have been
working at it-with promising re-
suits SO far.
Short electric railway lines have
long been running, like that from
Paris to Versailles. Now, since the
war, the long through lines are be-
ginning to "electrify" their traffic.
The falling water is called white
coal. and it is steadily taking the
place of black coal. Great American
companies like the General Electric,
the Western Electric and the West
inghouse and others are going into
partnership with the French COM
panies which have the state charters
and privileges. And so inventors
are trying all sorts of electric auto
mobiles, even motor trucks.
Marc Seguin brought up the speed
of railway trains from five miles to
twenty-five miles an hour. Those Of
US who live to his age may see as
many surprises as he did on land, not
to speak of the air, In which he did
not live to see travel and traffic.
A German of science has just been
trying to frighten Frenchmen with
his new invention which. he says,
can wipe out London and Paris in no
time. Perhaps he will be persuaded
to chain his explosiveness to some
kind of locomotion that will take us
around the world in forty minutes.
