The progress so far made in the substitution of mechani-cal for animal traction in Paris has been confined to experi-mental lines operating with accumulators, one with surfacecontacts and several using gas, air and steam motors. Thelatest is a rapid charging accumulator line described by in La Nature. It was installed by the TramwayCompany of Paris and the Department of the Seine, andextends from the Madeleine to the sulnirbs of Courbevoie,. CAR AT CHARGING STATION. Courbevoie-Ncuilly and Levallois, the lengths of the severalsections of the lines being respectively , , and The generating station is equipped with three water tubeboilers furnishing steam at 220 lbs. pressure to three tripleexpansion Willans engines, each of which is connected to ai2o-k. w. 4-polc Brown dynamo. The speed is 460 r. p. engines may be operated either condensing or non-condensing. Current is distributed through six mains, one each for thefour charging stations and two for the electric pumps andlights at the power station. The conductors to the charging
