IMroRrANr RAILWAY INvENTIoN.--
Mr.. Henry NJ. Naglee, young hut in
nenious and accomplished engineer of
Philadelphia, says the Pennsylvania,
has Just invented mode Of constructing
the rails for curves in railroads, which
we think is OF u very important character.
1t uttains the great desideratu'n in civil
engineering Of enabling cars TO tuln up
on the shortest necessary curves without
difficulty or danger-iriction is diminish
ed, aud the ax!es are exempt from inJur,
while the wheels of the car regulate
themselves to the turn, avoiding the dan
ger Of running oft. The invention is
simple and upon the combination OF two
established mechanical principles. The
c committee ofthe Franklin Institute have,
we understand, awarded Mr.. Naglec the
SCOTS Legacy premium for his important,
and useful Improvement.
