Total OF four months increase last year $50 $40
The Harlem Company ran two express trains to
Albany, also two express trains from Albany, du-
ring the above period last year, which they have
omitted this year, thereby saving on running
expenses about SIS 900 a month, and notwith.
standing their leaving off these express trains,
the company show the above favorable in
crease in their receipts. Many persons are under
an erroneous impression that the cars of the
Harlem Railroad Company and the Fourth avenue
city line are separate and independent companies,
doubtless arising from the fact that the large pas
senger cars are drawn by locomotive power, and
the short line, or Fourth avenue city cars, are
used only for the city business. They both, how
ever, belong to and are owned by the New York
and Harlem Railroad Company, which company is
about extending its Fourth avenue city track up
Madison avenue to the Central Park at Seventy
ninth street, under the recent act Of the Legsla-
ture, and expect to be enabled to run their city
cars to the Central Park during this summer or
early fall 1t is not only great public necessity,
but is of great pecuniary importance to the New
York and Harlem Railroad Company and will be
completed as expeditiously as possible. The
route is up Fourth avenue to Forty-second street.
along Forty-second street to Madison avenue
and up Madison avenue to the Central Park and
Seventy street.
From the recent trials made by the Admiralty
of Great Britain on q section Of the Warrior and
Monitor by the Armstrong smooth-bore gun, at
two hundred yards, il would appear that the boiler
plate which has been used in these vessels is not
ball or bomb proof. From mean of twelve trials
of the best English boiler plate iron from different
makers in Staffordshre, Derbyshire and Shrop-
shire, the tensile strength upon square inch was
found to be 1915 tons, or A 900 pounds. The
English Low Moor bar, as tested at Alger's forge
in Boston, gave an ultimate strength Of 1850
pounds. The New Jersey Franklinite bars, tested
at Baltimore, reached over 1000 pounds. The
Director Of the National Forges in France, speak.
ing Of bar Of American Franklinite, says:--"The
aspect OF the fracture was all nerves. An i'm
mense number Of experiments have been made
with this press, not only upon all the irons of
France, but upon the best irons of England Swe-
den, Spain and Siberia. Never has any bar tried
