A NOVEL PARAsoL.-A new parasol has
been invented. It is so contrived as to answer
alternately the purpose of a parasol and a
screen. The rod is not, as in ordinary %parasols,
inserted in the middle of the circle which forms
the shade, but near the circumference, so as to
give the person carrying it the whole benefit OF
the shadow it casts. Touch a spring, and the
little instrument is a parasol ; touch the same
spring with another motion, and it is an up.
right screen.

TRACTION ENeINEs.-The practical question
in regard to these engines appears at last to
have been solved by Mr.. r. w. Thompson,
engineer, at Edinburg. The tires of his ell
CINE, which are very broad, arc made Of heavy
bands of Iudia-rubber fastened by strips of
steel. These wear very we'll, do not jar the
engine too much, and give q good hold on
rough ground, and do not sink too deeply in
mud. The cars, too. have very broad tread
wheels. These engines have been run for
some time successfully in Lsith, Edinburg, and
Paris, at a speed of eight miles an hour. The
Iu~dia.rubber tires wear very we'll.
