more. The success of such plans will
depend wholly on their financial backing.
The possibility of such speeds wasamp'y
proved by the celebrated Berlin-Zossen
experiments and as soon as such a rail
road will pay we shall doubtless have it.
That we shall be able to ride at this
speed very soon is the opinion of an ed
itorial writer in The Electrical Review
(New York, August 25) who notes that
the attention of railway men has been
temporarily distracted Irom the h igh
speed road by construction of electric
terminal facilities in large cities.
He writes:
"It has been shown pretty conclusively
that there is now no physical reason
why such speeds may not be attained
and held, so that the problem has resolved
itself into one of securing sufficient safety
