SUSPENDED ELECTRIC DY
To be Formally Opened by the
Kaiser Shortly.
FROM LONDON TO BRIGHTON.
Berlin, July 8,—Tho Kaiser will
open neat week Uro only suspended
electric railway in the world. It bas
been built between Barmen, Ether -
field and Vohwinkel, (111(1 for part of
she way it rune over the River
Wupper, and for part through those
three busy towns. It does not in-
terfere with the street and road
traffic and it is cheaper thanan
ordinary line, as it can be siting
over rivers and back streets and
the only land require(' 1s that nec-
essary to plant the supports of the
etrueture.
In the wee 01 the. Barmen-Etber-
fleld-Vohwinkel line the conclusion
was arrived at that an overhead
railway over the River \Capper was
the only kind permissible, as tin
underground line would lave been
too costly, and there was abso-
lutely no room for a clurface rail-
way or tramway. The quasllon was
Whether 'the railway should be on
the plan of the Nov York elevated
railway,, with tae necessary gird-
ers placed in tine bed of the river,
or whether the suspeiald plan of
Engineer Langen should be adopted.
The latter won the day.
The promoters of the new system
claim that the srspendcd railway,
In constpiecnce of its high and light
construction, does not deprive the
inhabitants of the horses along
which it runs oh either air, light,
or free outlook.
The Inhabitants, who have shown
1111011 nt•thOtie feeling 111 their archl-
tectnre, do not neem to object to
the carrying of the sutgmmisal line
through their towns. This may be
amounted for by the fact that the
suspended railway is nmch, less 1101sy
them eompethng systems. The col-
lector of the suspeudal railways
emits no noticeable sound, and the
aerial vibration from the whole
structure lire, In amount, some -
between that coming from Bow and
trolley systems. Besides aerial vi-
bration, surface railways also cause
vlbratlone of flinch greater energy
through aha earth, and these, al-
though tl00 aro not everywhere per-
ceived, soon develop, In unfavorably
situated buildings, tremblings of
the walls and floors of more an-
noying character than the aerial
distnrnanee.
In respect to earth trembling,
that caused by the suspended ral-
way, Is very markedly Ices than that
caused from street trnuway'e, whoeo
speed and carrying capacity are
much Iese, while it is insignificant
compared with that emanating from
the ordinary surface heavy rail-
way. Tho vibrations from the eue-
peadcd railway do not reach the
earth remade tions except after
passing through a girder and arch
Natural; thus they are almost wholly
dissipated.
Since experineptal trains have
been running on the new line the
system has been studied by an Eng-
lish company which has protected a
similar line between London and
Brighton, the care to run at a speed
of 100 miles an hour.
Ten miles of rails have been laid
on the Tealekamtug Railway. ,
