STREET CARS or A New PMNcIPLE-THE
PNEUMATIC PRoPELLING CoMrANY.-There
are many who have believed that because
but little was said in the newspapers or else
where of the progress Ofthe Pneumatic Pro-
polling Company in the construction of an
engine and tanks that would answer every
requisite purpose the project had fallen
through. We are gIatitied, however, to
state that such is not the fact, and that
the prediction OF the PiCdy,tne ut the time
the first trial was made by Valley, the pro-
prctor, is soon to be verified. After numer-
Gus failures in constructing air-tanks sutfi-
GENTLY light, and yet sufficiently strong, sue
cess has rewarded the persistent effort. and
the last tank or cylinder made stood easily
at u pressure Of 3O7 pounds 70 the square inch.
The cylinder is made oflaycrs ofthick brown
paper, with gum lining, and has iron heads
More of the same character arc now being
constructed at the Bature Foundry. We
examined, u few days since, the model ofthe
engine to be used ON the cars, and which Is
the result OF years Of thought and hard work
on the part Of Mr.. VALLEY. 1t is, without
doubt, one OF the most beautiful and perfect
pieces of machinery ever made, and is des-
tined-so we are informed by the talented
inyentor-to work a radical change III the
method OF the application of stqam, as well
as air, for purposes Of propulsion.
Every obstacle seems now to have been
removed, and we may confidently expect
that at no distant day our street cars will be
propelled by air instead of mule power
