main lines of railway in Germany do not in any way deter the State Railway authorities from endeavourin- to obtain improved results from the use of express steam locomotives. In particular the proposed high-speed electric railways as, for instance, that contemplated between Berlin and Damburg-do not appear to make any progress, su, apart from the enormous expendkure which would have to be incurred in the construction and equipment of the line, the Prussian Railway Minister is im presied by the technical difficulties which would have to be overcame in order to bring the scheme to a successful issue. The official idea seems to be, says the "Engideer," that considerable obstacles would have to be surmounted in avoiding points and level arnings as far as possible and in obtaining curver of a wide. radius, together with the question of sidings and the securing of the working conductor from the contingency of accidents. An entirely new electric railway in competition with the existing steam line would not receive the sanction of the Government, while the conversion of the latter line to electric traction would not be undertaken by
