NEW STYLE RAILROAD

Monorail locreases Speed and Reduces Cost. _______________ Prof. Williams, Lecturer at Lincoln Chautauqua Will Demonstrate Lat» eat Triumph of Science. > Twenty years from now, passengers on railway trains may be whirled across the country at twice the speed now used. This will be made possible by the adoption of the monorail —one of the wonders of modern Invention — whereby one steel rail is made to suffice for a track instead of two, the rail being overhead and the trains speed along under it, suspended by great pulleys. By means of this new

device, a speed of a hundred miles -an hour, and eyen greater, can be met. This and many other of the latest triumphs of modern invention will be demonstrated by Professor Louis Williams, in the course of his unique entertainments, “The Wonders of Electricity,” which will be presented at the coming Chautauqua. The wireless telegraph, x-ray machine, exploding soap-bubbles’ and scores -of other wonderful triumphs of the* modern mind will be clearly explained with the help of a platform filled with apparatus of all sorts. Professor Williams’ program afternoon and night is one of the most unique ever presented to a Chautauqua audience. There is not a dull moment during the entire program, which furnishes an hour of thrills, surprises and hearty laughs. hr *
