We often see heralded. in the papers.

discovered some new application Of lie
mechanic powers, producing These won.
derfu results. A Locomotive is a tna.
chine which is itself moved by a steam
engine. The expansive power OF steam
in the piston originates the motion, which
is communicated by rod TO wheel. the
revolutions and tacfion OF. which impart
adhesion and velocity TO the whole con.
lrivance. 1t is self evidepf, therefore, that
with expansive power Sufficient in piston.
of propor.ionate dimensions. almost any
speed may be acquired by an increased
diameter o. tie a6heei. A larger or smaller
piston contains more or less Of The power
Of steam: and the rapidity of The stroke
imparts the like velocity to the wheel. A
wheel, therefore, Of ten fee, diameter, with
the same number of revolutions per min
ute, must pass over double the space that
one Of FIVE feet would perform.
The John G. Calhoun, ON the South
Caroloa Road, with wheels Of Eve and
half feel diameter, has or a trial "Trip run
