Since then engineers lave been wondering 'whether a colossal blun- ':der was not made in building our. railways on the comparatively slow and expensive two -lige system which we have in use to -days Brennan, who was born 100, years ago at Castlebar, Ireland, was a watchmaker who had an uncanny flair for mechanical inventions.

To get at the explanation he bought all kinds of tops, made new kinds, an experimented with them for years, It teas by weans .01 these ,ex- periments that he obtained the •master -idea of. -a?mono'=tail,' Here was a new and much cheaper kind fbf train, which could be run at a speed of 100 miles per hour and more op a single rail, and' -`with' greater safety than an•�rdinary ex - '..press train on a double track. Round the,;$end Using the principal of the gyro- scope, Brennan made an engine :and carriages, which would remain `perfectly steady on a single line of track, even when they were at a standstill. They were able to run on the roughest of permanent waya and negotiate the most acute bends without slackening speed. It was a revoluionary scheme by am standards, . At that time the cost of building an ordinary railroad in England' was about £30,000 a"mile,' The cost of the new mono -rail ,was es- timated to be only £1,000 a mile. Moreover, the single rail could be laid down very quickly. The sleepers ,,were only three. feet six inches long and they were placed on the ground about .two feet apart, with cut 'and ballast, Brennan's mono -rail created a sensation. The Gocepn10ent promptly made :a grant to the M- a- a Bull -sized . experimental line at GiGillingham.:t\ car forty feet long was made, .'the single ,series of - wheels being placed down its ten-- tre line.

The experts made some vague pronouncements to the effect that the advanages gained by running on a single rail do not outweigh the increased weight acrd post, and the necessity for the .91tintenanoe of an extra pieceofmachinery" If the experts„ had forseen the huge' cost of 'inaintainhl'g the pres. . ent two -rail -system; and the fact that the speeds on it would remelt;- piadticallyn tlhe saltie , fi$r tltes nexti forty ,years, Brennan's system might have been adopted=•+ltin1SenufKl• sally, ,to civilisat4on!s, great adyj1 rage. • The amohnts of Saving, overt ;5,,. z11 , years,, of steel wood (for sleepers), maintenance and running costs, fs beyond the "imagtpation, i ` ""tt' Louis Brennan died in 1931, after' he had: Spent the last years.of hihf r +, i',tl' 1 1 life - (ironically enough) advising the Governinent on the engineeirsisrli•,a•rpr aspect of aircraft and matinitioits. : Want`High' Groceries • An interesting feature in con- W • s, sumer preferences has come to e.90 light in recent weeks.
