A society of mechanical engineers representing the principal European machine shops, has recently been organized abroad for the purpose of developing railroad engines of phenomenal speed. The accompanying illustration shows a railroad electric motor lately built by Siemans and Halske, in connection with the organization, which, by order of Emperor William, was tested preliminarily a short time on the military railroad at Ber-

lin-Zossen, when, according to reports, it gave an exhibition that promised remarkable results.
