RAILROADS WITH ONE RAIL--Considera-
BILE interest is just now felt in Larmanjat's
system of cheap railroads. Mr.. Larmaniat is
French engineer, who has, during the past
two years, established several such roads in
FraEce.
The plan is to put down . central rail for
guiding the carriages, and upon which this
greater part of their weight rests; while ordi-
nary wheels are put on the outside, running
upon the ground, which serve to balance the
ears. The driving-wheels of the locomotives
rest upon the ground, thus securing much
greater purchase than would be possible if
| they bore upon the rail.
In this system, when a road is to be run
through farming or other country on the
bed of an ordinary country road, eross-ties
are laid, say feet long by SKI inches, at q
distance OF feet inches apart from centre
to centre. Upon these cross-ties single rail
of U pattern is placed, weighing 25 lbs. to the
yard. This is all rhere is OF the permanent
way: The part OF the road upon which the
outside wheels rest must. OF course, be made
firm; but needs little repairing, as most OF the
weight is thrown upon the wheels running on
the rail. One class of engines used on these
roads weigh 10 tons, and will draw a load of
30 tons up an incline of in so at a speed of
six miles per hour. The secOnd-class engine
weighs tons, and will take 35 tons up a like
incline at The speed of ten or eleven miles per
hour. BY changing the speed, they can as
cend grade of ] in 20. W. Fl. Boiling, In
the Railroad Gazette, says;
"As an estimate of the cost of one mile of
line of single-rail tramway, laid as described,
/ would submit the following: 25-lb. rail, with
crOss-ties, spikes, jointfastenings, track-lay-
ing. sidings, and ballast Ior rail, with country
road-bed sufficiently firm for the outside
wheels. $500 When road-bed Is NOT suffi-
Glen tiv firm, and stone, cinders, gravel, or
other n, ateriai are employed, say $780,
When road. 'sad is not Sufficiently Arm, and
timber is emnlov. ID. say $S690. These esti-

This story is written in the authors quaint
est vein, and pictures New England life with
her usual felicity. 1t abounds with her
unique and delightful ideas, one of which,
Caroline's way of teaching Astronomy,-is at
once tersely and charmingy set forth. 1t is
more than graceful, it is pathetic. Also, the
scene between Dimmy and the Doctor, is in
imitable. Nothing could be more graphically
drawn, and the Doctors mode of treatment
at least affords food for thought. New Eng
land gossip is also hit off with racy strokes.
The ehostly way in which the story turns is
capita both in conception and writing, and is
particularly suggestive to those disposed to
discuss special Providences.
The Experiment" seems to have been en-
inently successful. The only fault we can
find with it is, that it is too short, and Just
tantalizes US with taste of richness" How.
ever, it makes up by being spicy, and its pun
gency will leave lasting impression on its
readers. Published by Loring, Boston. For
sale by Hoyt, Fogg & Breed.
Light and Electricity by Professor John
Tyndall, is plain, terse and reliable state
ment OF the fundamental principles of optical
and electrical science. The series of notes of
which it is composed is brief summing up
OF the leading facts and principles of these
sciences, as contained in the authors lectures
at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, and
were prepared by Prof. Tyndall with great
care for publication in England. d. Appleton

William Forsyth, whose excellent life of
Cicero was so greatly admired, has written
book entitled "The novels and novelists of the
18th Century," in illustration of the manners
morals OF that age. While it does not profess
to be history Of the works of fiction of the
last century, it nevertheless presents such
complete syuopsis of the leading novels, as re-
CARDS style, incident, plot and character, and
enables one to form such perfect idea of
their scope and character. as to fall but little
short of being history. II one wishes to
get the gist OF the novels that were "all the
60" in the last century,-if he wants to know
what kind of books were written by Mrs.
Behn, by Richardson, Fielding and SmolIett
and to get genuine idea of the books that
were to our English ancestors of that age,
what Thackeray's, Dickens's Hawthornes
and Reades books are to us-if he desires to
know the leading Characters" such as "Tom
Jones, a favorite of the ladies" /" "Joseph An
drews", "Amelia," "Peregrine Pickle"
Humphrey Clinker," etc, ETC., he cannot do
better than to read Mr.. Forsyth's book. The
volume also contains much pleasant gossip
about the dress, manners, customs, and FASH
ions prevailing at that time, and contrast is
instituted between then and now, which ire
sistably leads to the satisfactory conclusion,
that in many respects the world is growing
better and not worse. ID. Appleton g. Co.
