SHORTENING JOURNEY FROM NEW YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO.
WILL CUT TRIP DOWN TO TWO DAYS. (United Frese Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received May 17, 9.40 a.m.f NEW YORK, May 36. A national transportation system oi combining aeroplanes and the fastest of trains, is being inaugurated to cut the time from New York to San Francisco to exactly two days. There will be v parallel rail and air services in order to avoid tiring passengers unduly by prolonged air flights. The tourist could start early in the morning from New York and fly all day to Chicago, and there take the night train, so as to get a comfortable sleep. At Omaha he would catch the aeroplane again next morning, and finally arrive at San Francisco aboard the train, fifty hours after leaving his home. Pennsylvania Railways and the National Air Transport Company, 1 together with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railways in the west are handling the scheme.—United Service.
