ELECTRICITY:-At a recent meeting of the British Institution of Elecrical Engineers the question of applying electricity to main line railways as a substitute for scam was the sub ject of discussion. It seems from what was said that the problem of operating trains/'on large rail- ways by electricity is far from being solved. It differs materially in every respect from the problems met in ordinary trolley road practice, both in the matter of cost and manipulation, and the engineers are convinced that the age of steam in railroading is far from coming to an end.
