MIRACLE OF SCIENCE.

(Continued from Page 6), -.

This is the train which Mr. Bechelet has designed for the carrying of mails, Alongside is a beautiful model of the type of car which he har designed for passenger traffic. This car, unlike the other, will not be driven by solenoids or pulling magnets, it will be actuated by a propeller and a motor, as in the case of an seroplane. The principle of forcing the car upwards from the crack by magne tic coils is the same in this case.

The little car was raised yesterday Abore the track by this unseen power and though the car itself was quite small and light it was impossible for one to force it down on the track even by using all the power of both arma.

Fifteen yards away a small magnetic coil stands on a pedestal wired to the accumulator Frenchman with rough grey hair, a Hare, says M. Bachelet, an alert mystic's eyes, and an American accent,

Three hundred miles an hour is the speed at which the inventor says he can send his air trains hurtling through space, but a prominent railway manager to whom the invention was demonstrated yesterday said the trains could be driven at 600 miles an hour provided electric power was strong enough.
