Nero and his fiddle were no more
deadly than the saxophone and its
companions, according to Sir Henry

Luxury and vulgar pleasure seeking.

M0NO.RAlL SYSTEM
 FOR PARIS SUBURB
Will Run From Capital to St.
 Denis, Three Miles Away

Paris. Mar. 17. P--An elevated mono-rail flying coach line is 10 be built as an experiment from the north edge of Paris to the neighbor- ing town of St. Denis. about three miles away.
 Francis Laur. engineer who de signed the line, has obtained con- cesSion from the authorities after ] years Of administrative ups and downs. further complicated by the war and the coGntry's impoverish- . lncnt
 A steel rail supported by pillars every thousand feet will carry a l0n- passenger coach suspended OH two wheels. somewhat like the mono-rail system between Fiber told and Rarmen, in Germany, but further developed. An electrically operated airpIane propeller will supply power.
 A speed of l1o miles an hour is possible on the line, says Laur, but the commercial speed of the test line is set at a mile a minute Speed, lightness and economy are claimed as the three points of su- periority over tn. German system. The French line. it Is asserted. have d carriage that will weigh only 11o pounds per passenger. while the German coach weighs SSp pounds for each pasScnoer. The speed will bc two or there times as great and the cost far less. The French flying coach line, it is cal culated will cost only s6S,0u0 q mile. about tenth the cost of sub way lines.
 Plans have bocn approved ny government engineers, and work is rNps cted 10 start in q few months. seven other lines arc planned.
