A BaTiTlMoke telegram mys:—"On a two-mile circular truck the start'ing speed of two miles a minute was recently maintained for about ten miles by a three-ton motor of the Electric Automatic Transit Company of Baltimore. This speed equals three miles per minute on a straight track. David G. Weems, tho inventor, conducted tho experiments. The company wiU build at once a five-mile circular frack on Long Island, to demonstrate the practicability of the electric passenger system, and also the automatic system which was tried recently, and which is intended only fur light express packages, mails and newspapers. Edison was present, and pronounced it the greatest conception since tho telegraph. The road will be fenced in with barbed wire, to keep of} the cattle, and, being insulated, the wires will be used for telephoning and signaling along the line.
