ResumoTHE following account of the electric railway of Breuilen-Auge is taken from an article by M. Gaston Tissandier in our contemporary, La Nature. The subject of electric railways, which has recently claimed public attention; and the recent construction on a commercial scale of a practical electric railway in the department of Calvados in France derives additional interest from the fact that the motive power is, in this instance, furnished by electric accumulators. We propose to give a general description of the railway, but will first briefly state the object for which the line has been constructed.
