sole is last years. The negotiation between the
connubial pair seemed to be mutually advanta-
geous. The bride, by marrying the dilapidoted
saint, would gain local habitation and name
on earth, and ex,ltatiOn in the future world. The
bridegroom would procure helpmeet TO cook his
grub, prepare HIS hannals, and also keep him
warm o. nights. The sealing process was per-

VEHICULAR HISTORY.

The invention of chariots, and the
manner Of Harvesting horses TO them,
are ascribed to Erichlhonius of
Athens, B. G. 1886. The chariots
of the ancients were like our pbetons
and drawn by one horse. The In
ventiOn of the chaise, or calash, is
ascrlbed to Augustus Caesar, about
A. D. 7, Postchnises were known in
A. D. 100. Carriages were known in
Paris, in 1850, there were but three
in that city, and those were of rude
construction, Henry Nv had one,
but it was without straps or springs.
A strong cab horse was let for short
journeys; later, these were harness
ed to a vehicle, coma -haqueuce-
hence the name hackney. coach.
These were let for hinre in Paris in
1850 at the Hotel Fiacre. They
were known in England in 1866, but

first made in England, during che
reign OF Queen Elizabeth, they were
called whirlicotes. '''@s

also originated in Paris, and were

an enterprising coach proprietor,
named Shilaber. They were intro.
lduced into New York in 1928 by

A PRACTICAL PNEUMATIC TUBE.r

The air-pipe which Albert Brisbane
built in Washington with Government
money was, we believe, an entire failure
The fiasco may have created an unwar-
ranted prejudice against the pneumatic
idea. The theory has been satisfactorily
tested in London. A tube, one and three
quarters miles long, extends from the
Northwestern Railway station to Hol-
born, whence another, trife less shan
a nj e in length, str c1es to the Pos f.
fee. The little tunnels are shaped like
fsttened horseshoe. They are 4
feet wide and AZ feet high at the centre,
with Il sectional area of II square feet.
They are made of cast-iron. except on the
curves, which are built Of brick, faced
with cement. The heaviest grade is one
iD fifteen. The sharpest curve has 9
radius of 70 feet. The wagons weigh
1900 pounds. They are 10 feet inches
long. ard are covered with indi.-rubber.
They fit tightly into the ube. The mar
chiDery consists OF all engine, which has
two 24-inch cylinders with 2O-nch
stroke. This drives fan CT 2215 feet
diameter. One revolution of the engine
makes the fan revolye twice The trains
Of wagons are drawn to Holborn by ex-
haustion amt propelled from it by pres
sure. The fan works constantly. The
exhaustion and compression of the air are
managed by valves. The working of
the mechanism gives perfect satisfaction.
The account before Is gives neither the
time OF the journeys nor the cost OF car
rage. 1t is fair to infer, however, that
both time and cost are less than by the
old methods of transport, else the new
one would not be used.
The pneumatic plan has thus been
proved to be practicable, when applied
10 short distance. A careful study Of
the workings of the London tube would
probably show whether It is necessary
TO have power applied at such short in
terval7 as it is there. Even if fans had
to be placed every two miles between
Chicago and New York, the cost Of con-
struction would be less than that of q
railroad, and the cost OF trarsportstio
very much less. James Watt, nv giving
the power Of heated air practical ap-
plication, revolutionized the business of
the world. Why should not ssme mod
ern inventor revolutionize the worlds
carrying-trade by applying the power of
compressed air to it, Chicago Tribune.

THE NEWPORT.Do COLLISION.
Examination Of the Injuries to tho
steamer Newport-How to Avoid These
Disasters.

Exa m fn0tfOn Of the Injuries 10 tho
steamer Newport-How to Avoid These
Disasters.
NEWPORT, r. l., Feb. 0, 1874.
The steamer Newport was hauled into dock
this morning and an examination made by James
Mahoney OF the Narraganset Steamship Company.
Her STEM from the promenade deck to three feet
below water mark, Is carried away. as Is also
two feet OF clamp streak. The apron, which Is
fifteen feet long, is entirely gone. and the checks
for osepipe together with fifteen feet OF the main
deck and 1000 feet Of new panking, are also so
''chawed up" as scarcely to be recognizable. All
the joining work above deck, some fifteen feet and
the main stair brace are also seriously damaged.
The latter was made OF iron, two inches in
diameter, and led from the mast to the stem. As
soon as she was hauled into dock as many wOrkmen
as could be conveniently employed were see
TO work clearing away the debris. 1t was ascer-
tanned upon examination that she did not leak a
drop, thus proving herself stanch boat. She
also showed no weakness elsewhere, which ta
astonishing In view OF the violence Of the shock.
1t clearly proved that had her dead wood not been
sunk her, and the attendant consequences would
have ranked with other steamboat horrors so
fresh In the minds OF the public. The accident
might have been avoided, IN the opinion OF many OF
the leading nautical men OIL this port II the timely
suggestions or the HERALD had been needed IN
gard to the carrying Of powerful electric lights or
acoustic signals, and 1t is erventy hoped That the
lesson OF the Newport and Doris collision wiz IVA
timely warning.
