REVOLUTION IN GRAIN TRANSPORTATION.
Mr.. Prcsser, n Chicago mechanic. has in |
vented a cylinder car for the transportation OF
grain which It Is thought may bring about an |
entire revolution In the business. The inyen-
tion consists In having \ large iron cylinder |
run from wheel to wheel In place OF the usual !
oar axle. The cars are built with four wheels |
upon eide like ordinary freight cars. and each |
car therefore haa four cylinders. Each cylin- |
der being capable OF holding 25o bushels OF |
grain the capacity OF a ear is 1900 bushels. In
stond OF 4ooihushels. as in the case OF an ordi-
nary box car. But even this Is not the caoacity |
Of the cars These cylinders. filed with grain. |
are underneath the car itself. the same as the |
trucks. and after having 1000 bushels OF wheat |
In tho cylinders the car proper can then be |
loaded with merchandise. The carrying Ca |
pneity OF the ordinary car IL not only increased
two aud II half times but the opportunity still |
remains for carrying Us large Il quantity OF |
freight as tho ordinary car contains without |
any grain whatever. The supposed grinding |
breaking or securing OF the grain does not take |
place. because even II the cylinder is but par-
tally llllal speed OF four miles per hour ts |
sufficient to form u solid cylindrical mass |
which Ia less movable than tho wheat In an Or !
dinary box car. Instead Of the grain catching |
moisture It actually dries 1t. An experimental |
ear was run 1000 miles on the Chicago. Barling-
ton and Quincy Road with 1000 bushels OF damp. |

AMERICAN GOODS IN ENGLAND.
A Philadelphia contemporary Is wrestling |
with the question why certain American goods |
can be purchased cheaper In the English mar
ket than In our own2 This is certainly very |
remarkable thing but. nevertheless. 1t Is quite |
true. Excellent American oysters can be had |
In London at a shilling dozen. while dealers |
at home tor the same quality of blvalves, ask |
