aver-age speeds the trains of that country are wonderfully fast. Mr.Rous-Martin says: All over Germany and Belgium, and, Ibelieve, also in Holland and Austria-Hungary, the maximumspeed is rigorously limited to about 56 miles per hour. I under-stand that a similar restriction exists on the East Railway ofFrance and it also does—or did until very recently—on theFrench Western line. For a long time the Chemin de Fer duNord stood alone in France in being permitted to run at 74.5miles an hour, but this is now sanctioned also on the Orleans,Est and Midi lines. The Orleans Railway was limited to 70 milesan hour, up to a little more than a year ago, and the Paris-Lyons Mediteranee 62.1 miles an hour. I believe that on thelatter railway this limit has lately been extended, and on theNord line a speed of 77.6 miles may be run on special occa-sions by direct permission.
