Electricity is conquering the world with greater rapidity than did Its mighty predecessor in mechanical achievement—steam. The gradual opening of the Trans-Siberian Railroad has led io the Introduction of electric light and electric machinery Into the towns of Siberia. Recently the municipality of Vladivostok decided that electric trolleys were Indispensable to the comfort and convenience of the inhabitants of that remote city, and It was resolved to build at once about twenty mlee of electric tramways and to light the town with electricity, besides introducing other modeni conveniences. Most of the machinery will be of American manufacture.
