Lebanon is not an isolated peak, but

Mount Moriah stands just without

the mosque of Omar, whose entrance

of Mohammed. 1t stands where the
rude altar of Abraham rose nearly four

PNEUMATIc POWER FoE STREET CARs.-Ve
noticed some months ago that an experiment was
about to be tried In New Orleans which, If sue
ccssful, would not only facilitate the running OF
street cars, but add greatly to the sheapness Of
propelling them, viz: the pneumatic propeller.
The project has ut last been worked out, and is
likely to prove grand triumph over horse and
mule power. The Times OF Thursday has the fol-
lowing allusion to the experiment:
The rheumatic car was put upon the street
sbout O'Clock A. NJ, Wednesday. and ran from
the shop to Canal street and bacE-about two
miles-to the entire satisfaction OF all who were
present 1t is said that the engine worked adj
mirably, and that the success was complete, not
withstandlng the fact that but three OF the four
tanks were used. In the fourth tank, an injury,
supposed to have been malicioasly centrtved, was
discovered on the previous night, and the tank
was condemned rs unfit for use. The success
achieved with the three tanks, and the limited
quantity CT air which they contained, renders Is
certain that the grand triumph so long hoped for
Is now at hand. In the experiments previously
made, q great many difficulties had to be over
come One by one they have been Surmounted,
and now every thing looks favorable. Indeed, we
shortly eHHect to see mule power superseded In
the propulsion OF street cars.
