Abstract
THE daily Press, or rather a section of it, has been greatly excited during the past week by the exhibition of a model railway, the invention of M. Emile Bachelet, in which a metal carriage is levitated in the air above the rails in a model railway, and then flung forward with very great speed through a series of solenoids. The reporters for the daily Press have discovered new and tremendous possibilities in a scientific principle entirely new to them, but which has been perfectly well known to every electrician and physicist for the last twenty-five years.
