Engineer Mills on Railroads.

Mr.. Robert Mills, the accomplished
engineer and architect, has published an
outline of his views on railroads, and
their improvement for safe travel.
MIR. Mills suggests that before our rail
road companies enter upon any new
works, they should institute an inquiry
whether there is any improved plan Of
railroads, which combines safety of travel
with economy Of construction-any plan
which would secure and insure the wheels
from running off the rail under any de-
gree of velocity given the train-any plan
which would be free from the common
accidents, including collisions, which now
occur on railroads-that will do away
with the necessity Of road guards, signals,
switches, and such like attendance-and
last, though not least, plan which will
not cost even moiety of the sum now
paid per mile on the present plan of rail-
roads.
If such a plan as is here suggested can
be faithfully carried out, the man who
established it will be one of the greatest
public benefactors this world ever knew
By all means let us have it.

Railroad Safe Guards.

An intelligent correspondent, who has
travelled through England and Scotland,
informs us that he found there, attached
to certain Station Houses, an Insurance
Office, where travellers paid small amount
when purchasing their tickets, in proper
ton to the distance they had to go. 1t
was at the option Of the public whether
to pay or not. The company paid an in
surance proportional to the damage sus-
tanned. By this arrangement, it was found
that accidents ceasednearly altogether: and
for this reason, at the end of every six
months, the money so collected was given
as a present to the Engineer or Engineers
on the road, after deducting the small
amount for the expense of this Office. In
some roads it was divided between the
Engineers and Conductors, which in
creased their united efforts for the greater
security Of the passengers. When an &C.
cldent occurred, the company paid the
the insurance. Of course the Engineers
and Conductors lost their bonus No in
stance was known where the directors had
to take one dollar from the funds of the road
to meetany demand for damages. The pub
lie objected to this arrangement, at first, as
they considered it an addition to the fare:
but the company compromised the matter
by small reduction of the rate of fare,
and the consequence was that the travel
for the next six months was double what
it had been before. &'
Could not this plan be tried in our
country! Railroad travelling is greater
here than among any other people. It is
constantly increasing throughout the
States. The saving of one life would
surely be worth giving the plan fair
trial.

Pleasan1Anticipations.

Mr.. Porter cofludes one of his pam
phlets on aerial navigation with the fol-

cit may be aticipated that within
few months the aerial machines, may
be seen soaring various directions, and
at different elevtions, some apparently
among or above the clouds, and others,
like swallows, siding leisurely just above
the surface of tie ca, tn. The sides of
the most lofty al rugged mountains and
the fertile valley will be alike reconnoi-
tered. Let our gentle readers imagine
themselves to E visiting the pleasant
and excellent library establishment on
the summit of NInnt Holyoke on sunny
morning in theDalmy month of June,
and gently descending thence towards
the verdant plans which border the
meandering Connecticut, and then, at an
elevation of only eight or ten feet from
the ground, sailing moderately over the
rich fields of brom and grain, and over
the flower spangfd fields Of grass waving
to the western breze, and conversing by
the way with themerry farmers, as they
follow their recretiye avocation of hay

cruising alorg by the steep and rugged
sides of theSocky Mountains, and laugh

harmless grizzly bear, or at the agility OF
the frightened antelope: and then de-
scending to the extensive prairies to
watch the prancing of the wild horses, or
the ftrpus rushing Of hordes of buffa-
loes. These things are indeed but fancies
