rtflfffue Air.

An Italian engineer has devised q sys-
TEN for utilizing the power Of gravity in
descending grades by making the engine
compress air that is afterward used in
propelling the train up grade. The APP
paratus consists Of three cylinders or ac-
cumulstors, constructed to stand q pres
sure Of $50 pounds These cylinders are
connected with one Of the axles OF the
car or engine by means Of q piston.
When the train descends q grade the
sir is compressed into the cylinder, and
in ascending q grade the action Is re-
versed, the cylinders acting as q motor.
II is said that this system is admirably
adapted to mountain railways or TO
those which have long tunnels. where It
