H [From the Jersey City Times.l ad
The demand for quick transit in New
York city has brought out many ingenious
inventions. The latest Ii that Of General
Imboden, Of Richmond, Va, which can
scarcely be described without illustrations.
The structure for carrying way is 10 be .
wire suspension bridge, running the whole
length Of the city, supported BY iron col
nmns one hundred feet apart, twenty-five
feet high, resting upon granite pedestals on
the hne of the curbstones OH both sides Of
"a Sgeet. a light ornamental iron arch
,S.ases from she top Of these columns, AND.
spanning the street. supports the iron piers
over which the wire cables are stretched.
One Of these cables is over the axis Of the
street, the other two are halfway between
this and the supporting columns. Imlne-
diately under these cables. and attached
to them, arc tie glides to which the tracks
are suspendcd--one for the down trains.
and the other for the trains going ap town.
The track or roadway Is the most striking
novelty Of the invention. It Is composed
Of pairs Of rollers similar to car wheels.
secured upon suitable axle, which reyolyes
upon ordinary friction rollers. This rota-
ry track has It's wheels ten feet apart, and
under il the cars are suspended BY rails
ihirty-tso feet long. that glide over the
rollers with perfect freedom and safety.
Six strong elliptic springs connect thesetaik
with ease. and will insure a motion alnlvst
as soft as the undulations OF boat. The
motive poxer IS supplied BY stationary en-
gines located 10 buildings or ppder tie
streets. These engines are one mile apart !;
and propel an endless wire cable or chain
arouad light horizontal drums. sixteen feet
Ia diameter. The attachment TO the car
Is 20 simple that boy ten years old can
