Some weeks ago, says the New York

By very simple continuance he believes

places requiring motive power at distance
from the reservoirs.
II this plan succeeds at Rochester It IL
said that an attempt will be made to utilize
the immense force Of the Niagara Fall to
compress air, which is to be conducted to
Buffalo, twenty miles distant, and there
turned to account as motor.
Some calculations which have been made
induce the persons engaged in this novel en-
terprise to believe that the equivalent of n
horse power" which costa, when steam
Is used, In this city, about $3.50 per annum,
can be furnished by them at the reservoir
OF compressed air for about S12. When it
Is conducted to distance, the cost Of main
tanning conducting. would he an add
ed element of cost but this could not be
very great.
The pressure of air needed Is, 1t is said,
equivalent to about seven atmosDheres. or
course no fires will be used with this motive
power. The danger of violent and destruc-
tive explosions will be at an end air en-
gines will be much more easily managed
than those worked by steam, and if COM
pressed air can be cheaply furnished in
cities, it would become an immense conve-
nience ir many ways. Its Use need not be
confined. either, to places having falls of
water at hand. On the seaboard the power
evolved in the rise and fall of the tides could
be utilized to compress cylinders of air
cheaply, and if the plan succeeds at all
there appears to be no reason why steam
should not be superseded in New York by
air rs motive power or why ships should
not be loaded and unloaded, goods hoiSted
in warehouses, and the lifts in hotels and
public buildings moved here by means of
compressed air.

TIE Virginia United States senatorship Is
being canrassed quite considerably, and the
friends of the different gentlemen who have
been named IN connection with the distin.
guished position are looking about to see
what are their chances for election. After
Senator Johnston, the present incumbent,
the most prominent candidate Is Major W.
L. Sutherlin, of Danville; and we see it
stated that he can count on forty votes in
the Legislature to start with. This. If true,
makes Major Sutherlin n formidable con-
tcstant for the position; but we are rather
disposed to believe that while the names of
several gentlemen will be before the Legs.
lature, Senator Johnston will be reelected
by large majority. His representative
course has given general satisfaction to the
know OF no good reason why he should not
he honored with MISUNDERSTANDING
