Show Electricity for Amusements. An electric roundabout has been constructed con-structed by a French company and fitted up in a public place of amusement in Nice. Here the electricity which is used for arc and incandescent lighting is also employed in the transmission of force to the roundabout or race course. The ponies are of life size, and each contains a motor, current being supplied by the rails. The weight to be drawn, including includ-ing the rider, is about 500 pounds, and the speed attained is about 600 feet per minute. The track comprises six circular circu-lar and concentric lines, on each of which runs au electric pony. Paris Letter. |
