Edison’s Latest Device.

Thomas A. Edison, the olectriciau, claims to have just perfected a new system which he can apply to any street car aud wbieh will revolutionize rupid transit. The priuee of electricians said lie would not explain at present his plans or details, but that lie had just finished the tests; that they were a grand success, and that the North American Company is going to use the system. It is a trolley ■system, only the rails are used and there is no slot. It is not a storage battery system either. .\lr. Edison said that by the time the Broadway Company got through digging and ditching, his system would be in operation in some other city at much less expense, and it will give more satisfactory results. He said, too, that he could {lave the old Broadway line and change a dock each night, and no one would have been the wiser until his system was in complete working order. —[New York Commercial Advertiser.
