Drs1 REcTons-Ths imporan. problem how
to avoid the annoyance dust in railroad travelling
which Is the most Objectionable feature in this
mode OF conveyance, is apparently solved by the
Reading railroad company
The method adopted is, BY hanging breadth
OF painted can7as. from the base OF eash car, rech
ing to within six inches Of the rail, and extending
along the cnteire train. The spaces between the
cars are covered with m apron, connecting with
the platforms Of each car and covering the bump
cars, which prevents the dust rising between the
cars while the pressuIy Of the atmospheric on
the vacuum created oy the motion Of the cars pre-
vents the dust from being forced out at this
point
The unsiybtly and expensive expcdiept. here
to!ere devised TO effect this object which in eve
ry case has proved failure, have, BY tki. sim
pIo contravance, been entirely suppressed, and
bright visions Of future railroad travelling opened
to our immigration. The invitation is by our
ingenious tovnspan Jas. MilIhollapd Esq, dev
sed by him We understand, over three years
