Compressed air, it is asserted, will soon
be used in Now Orleans as the motive power
of the street cars, since the necessary machin-
cry is rapidly approaching completion. At
mospheric railways have heretofore proved
failures. The apparatus consists OF cast-iron
tube of about forty inches diameter, having a
slit OF about two inches wide on its upper side.
The slit is covered by a flexible hap or valve,
and furnishes an opening through which the
mechanism Of a piston, working within the
tube, is connected with the carriage. Two short
