THE EASTMAN RAIL.

To tie Editor Of The Chicago 7ribun4:
SIR: Various articles have appeared lately in
the newspapers Of this aud other oities, asking
for new system OF street-EaIlways. It is ap-
parent to all who have given any attention to the
subject, that therois pressing need Of improve
ment; and that the objections to the present
system are well taken.
In this communication do not mean to advo-
cate any particular mode or system OF construct
ng street-railway tracks. It would be- well if
the prismoidal Tor one-raiD invention was tried :;
also the proposition OF laying The track ouly
through alloys might be inquired into and other
plans and syetems might be examined. The best
plan will Of course. finally be adopted and be-
come the permanent system; and some inventor
will succeed in giving US Whit is 60 much need
ed,-tbnt is, an improvement In the present
manner OF constructing the roadway, the
FORM OF THE RAIL,
and the mode OF propulsion.
Among other Inventions which have been pre-
sented to the public, and are applicable to this
subject ia one made and patented by our fellow
citizen the Hon; g. Eastman. It is with regard to
the form Of the rails for street-rallway, OF,
indeed, Tor any railway where tho trains are to
be driven at q moderate speed. The particular
description cannot here be given, az it would re-
qui1e too much space. The distinguishing pzin-
ciples OF this rail are: First any wheeled Vehicle
(of the right tread) can run on It as well as the
car built expressly for it; second, any Vehicle
car as weil--can turn of the rail at any place.
and, after running around any obstacle, can
turn On to tho tack again at pleasure.
There would not be the least difficulty
IN driving q wagon OF carriage on tie
street parallel With the track OF across it at any
angle; no wrenchng Of wheels, and very little il
any jar to the carriage when the wheel strikes the
rail. There is no sleeper or tie such as is ord
nerily used in constructing any railroad track
thereby pbyiAtirg the uneS On wear Of tha navcd
street.
The cost Of the rails would, Of course, depend
upon their weight Tho cost OF the Eastman
rail would differ but very Little from the cos. OF
that now in use by the street-car companies,
3E. Eastmau's system, certainly, in theory,
promises remedy to many OF the defects OF the
old plan
