RIDE rxA psrrNlr,c RAnnoAp Trpr.-.

RIDE IN PNEUMATIC RAILROAD TUpE.-A
London paper contains an account of the re-
cent opening OF pneHmaiic line of railway
from the General Post Office to the London
and Northwestern Railroad, and the passage
through the tube of several gentlemen who
were anxious for new sensation. Due pre-
paration was made and against many rem on
strances the party determined to 60. The nc-
count OF the expedition says:
The first sensation at starting, and still
more so upon arriving, was certainly not agree-
able. For about quarter of a minute in
each case there was pressure upon the ears
suggestive Of diYii bell experience suction
like that with which one is drawn under
wave, and cold draft 81 wind upon the eyes,
having almost the effect of falling water: but
once fairly within the tube these sensation
were got rid Of, or left behind. and the motion
had little positive discomfort about it. 1t
was curious sensation to be flying along
through the earth, feet foremost, in utter
darkness, for the best part of ten minutes,
which, in such place, seemed half an hour.
Various experiments having been tried
with the tube and its power Of suction, one
of the officials at last determined to see what
would happen in case the train stuck fast at
any point in its journey \ carriage was ac-
cordingly "scotched, or fastened in such u
Way that IL coutu nut move, alu tHeH inc
power ofthe engine was exerted to the utmost
The carriage in question intended for
passengers, and furnished accordingly. Byand
bye one ofthe cushions, the others, and final
" all the moyeables which the carriage con-
tanned, were hurled through the tube and de-
liyered at the other end the force exerted
being such that the nails keeping down the
carpet we're extracted. The air within the
tube was by no means foul or diSagreeable.
Finally the party reached the end of their
journey IN safety.
