Bachelet switched on the current, and the car, chair, and boy rose from the coils and remained supported in tho air in a Mahomet cofflnliko effect. The little pasßonger jumped when he was suddenly jerked upward, but quickly broke into smiles, and obviously enjoyed his experience as the first passenger on a flying train. The model car weighs 181b, so that the total weight lifted was 601b.
