TIE Prosser freight car, for carry.
ing grain, is q remarkable invention
Il consists simply OF four hollow
cylinders, with iron hoops which
serve as wheels, the car itself revolv-
ing. Tho cylinders are eight and a
half feet long and six feet in diam G..
ter inside. These cylinder wheels
cau be loaded from the top or side,
and with proper elevator facili ,iea
can be loaded or unloade1 more easi
ly aud qnickly than an ordinary car.
The cylinders are perforated with
minute hUlcs that admit Of circula-
ton Of air through the grain, thus
drying wet grain or preventing ii
from heating while in transit. The
car has capacity for fully 1000
bu. hels Of grain, While the maximum
load Of the ordinary car is 400 bush L.
els Scientists have long been aware
that the power required to roll a
given load is only one seventh Of
that required to move it when sup
ported on aSles. This car is an ef-
fort to apply this principle to the
tran 'portation of grain. 1t is claim,
ed to save 50 per cent, iu the power
required to drag a given bulk of
grain, is capable Of double the speed
attaipable with old style cars consis-
tent with safety, and improves the
grain carried by reason of the motion
and acration.
