experiments with the new material
were made by the Berlin City Street
Railway, over which 340 trains pass

pany's most sanguine expectation. Not
only was the noise brought down to a
minimum, but the wear and tear was
materially diminished. It is to be
tried on the new roads in Leipsic. Old
buildings, and particularly buildings
of stone and iron, suffer most from
the shocks and noise of passing trains.

began to be made. The guns became
lighter in construction, and the sold-
