We are indebted to London Engineering for the follow-ing illustrations and description of the very ingenious mono-rail system for light railways, designed by Mr. Cailletet, aFrench engineer. It is not adapted for mechanical traction, and consequently will not prove a dangerous rival to otherlight railways, which are most economical when so operated.. The low cost and wide adaptability, however, make it emin-ently suited for agricultural districts where the roads areoften so bad as to be impassable for loaded wagons, and ithas found an extensive and useful application in France andthe French colonies; also in Egypt it has received the strongendorsement of the British Engineer ofHcers. The track may be either permanent or portable, but thelatter type has been more extensively used. The rails are oflight section, the weight used depending on the nature ofthe service; up to the present they have weighed 3, 4.7, 6.4 and S pounds per foot. For the portable lines the per-manent way is usually laid in sections 16.4 feet long, the sec-tion of this length together with six bedplates and fishplates. ^ - -*? ^^ ^jBpp^BJ t^ KIC. 3 CAILLETET IASSKNGEK CAK. weighing 61, 89, 94, ^3> 37 ° ^5 pounds, according tothe trattic for which the line will be used.
