From the Scientific American New York;.
Among the mechanical novelties to
be seen in operation at the Grand Cen
trail depot in this city, is a steam railway
car, seventy feet wide, which travels on
track of corresponding width. This
great vehicle is made i'll the shape OF n
low platform car, and the track on
which it runs is provided with four
rails, extending from Fifth avenue to
Madison avenue. The car is used for
the lateral transfer of passengers from
the Hudson River, Harlem, and New
Haven railways, to the various side
tracks, thus avoiding the use of turn
tables. The Car is propelled by steam,
the engine and boiler being contained
within u sheet.iron house carried on one
side of the machine.
The cars to be transferred are run
upon the great car; steam is then
turned on, and the huge machine trots
off with its burden with as much case
as horse draws buggy. The machine
is supported on eight wheels, arranged
on independent axles. There are in
addition four driving wheels arranged
on one axle. 1t was proposed not long
ago to construct grain railway from
New York to Chicago on gauge Of
twelve feet. This was considered big
thing in the way Of broad gauges. But
it is pigmy compared with this seventy
foot gauge railway and locomotive of
the Grand Central.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Know the Age Oft Horse.

We find the following in the Vest
crn Culipator, credited to Exchanges"
The colt is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their
appearance the colt is twelve days
old: and when the next four come
forth it is four months old. When the
corner teeth appear the colt is eight
months old when the latter have at
tanned the height Of the front teeth it is
one year old. The two-year old colt
has the kernel Ga dark substance) in
the middle of the front teeth, and
when three years old they are substitu
ted 10y the horse teeth. The next four
teeth are shifted in the fourth year,
and the corner teeth in the fifth. At
six years the kernel is worn out of the
lower middle front teeth, and the bri-
die teeth have now attained to their
full growth. At seven years a hook
has been formed in the corner teeth of
the upper jaw, the kernel of the teeth
next to the middle fronts is worn out,
and the bride teeth begin to wear Off
| At eight years of age the kernel is
worn out of all the lower front teeth,
and begins to decrease in the middle
upper front. In the ninth year the
kernel has wholly disappeared from
| the upper front teeth, the hook on the
corner teeth has increased in size, and
the bride teeth lose their points. In
the tenth year, the kernel is worn out

per jaw; and in the eleventh year the
kernel has nearly vanished from the
corner teeth of the same jaw. AT
twelve years old the crown OF all the
front teeth in the lower jaw has become
triangular, and the bride teeth ar,
much worn down. As the horse ad
vances in age the gums shrink away
from the teeth, which consequently
acquire long, narrow appearance, and
their kernels have become metamor
phoscd into darkish point, gray hairs
increase in the forehead, over the eyes
and the chin assumes the form Of al
angle.

The Poultry House.

The poultry house should be often
cleansed, especially in the summer. In
the spring it must be thoroughly gone
overin every part; for absolute cleanliness
is one of the essentials to success in
poultry keeping. Carbolic acid dissolved
in water should be spripkled over the
hools and other woodwork of the house,
and a little may be added to the white
wash that is used for whitening the
partitions, ceiling, etc. Whenever the
roosts are washed, carbolc soap should
be used, since it will work into the
feathers and kill the vermin, if there
be any.
The material for nests should be often
changed, since these are most apt to get
foul, and especially so if the poultry do
not have entire liberty, since the more
artificial the treatment, the greater care
will be required in the manipulation.
They must be regularly fed, with a vari-
ETY. of food, have plenty OF pure water,
and sharp gravel, comfortable quarters,
and good nesting places, if you expect
to realize a harvest of eggs and chickens,
as the result of the care bestowed upon
the poultry Western Rural.

Coal Ashes for Garden WuIks.

The Germantown Telegraph says b" We
wish again to impress upon the readers
cf the Telegraph that nothing makes
better garden walks than coal ashes.
They are of more value for this purpose
than any other that they can heapplied
to that we know of. Where the walk
requires it, dig it out two or three
inches-put the coalsest portion of the
ashes at the bottom and the other at
the top, to the depth altogether of three
or four or even six inches, and then roll
well. These walks are always dry and
pleasant to the feet, and are rarely
troubled with weeds, and when they are
they can be easily removed"

The temperament has great deal to
do with the minute structure of the
different parts of the body. If it be
active, the texture of the muscles,
bones, etc., will bc fine, wiry, and com

be coarse, soft and spougy.
1t should always he kcpt prominent

as to the strength, durability, and 9th
er qualities of the different breeds
We will freely admit that the size OF
any part of the animal is II direct meas
ure OF its power, provided all other
things. such Us temperament, Nc, are
equal; but we strenuously maintain
that the slightest alteration in temper.
ament will make u corresponding diff
ference in the power, and in the capa.
bility of endurance of every indivld
uai part. For instance. the muscle or
bon. of a thoroughbred horse whose
temperament is always active, is far
stronger, inch for inch, than the same
part in a common farm horse. If the
heavy dray horse was rs strong us he
looks, in comparison with the thorough
Bred he would be able to carry or draw
a vast deal more than he has ever been
known to do. Let us take two animals
with exactly the same temperament
and the same leverage, and we will in
variably find that the one which has the
thickest muscle will have the most
strength; but if the muscle and lever
age are the same in both cases, and the
temperaments different, there will be II
corresponding difference in power, &c.
II comparisons are to be made, they
must be drawn with great precision,
and this is the proper way to arrive at

although it was good from New
Haven to New York, it did
not pass the holder in the opposite
direction. Mr. Coleman insisted that
the company was compe led to receive
the ticket, as it represented money paid
for passage between those points, and
he was put Off the train by force, re-
ceiving such injury rs to affect his
