A New Dcvice OF Ei,,son,s.

Edison has designed a method Of
mechanical transmission by tho aid
Of electricity that has at least the
merit of novelty. The object is to
permit positive transmission Of large
powers without the use of tocthcd
gearing. Smooth-faced iron pulleys
or wheels are used, and made strong
ly magnetic by suitable windings
connected in circuit with a suitable
source Of electrical energy. The
belts or ropes are either themselv.s
magnetic or carry iron bars, which
form armaturcs to close the magnetic
circuits at the pullcys, and are strong
ly attracted to the faces of the pull
leys SO as to increase the adhesion
and transmit the power without slip.

Tho First Street Railroad.

The first street railroad ever char
tered was the New York and Harlem,
which was opened Nov. 26, 1882, and
ran from Prince street, in the Bowcry,
TO Fourteenth street. The car used
on this trip was designed by John
Stephenson, and the patent was then
signed by the then President of the
United States, Andrew Jackson.
There arc about $4,000 cars used III
this country, and about half as many
in foreign lands. The cost Of an old
fashioned horsc-car was about $500;
cable and electric cars arc much
more expensive. The electric car,
with the motcr cost about 50, 900,
and the batteries 1000 additional.
Mr. Stephenson is still living, at the
age Of cighty-three. More than 10000
closed cars have been turned out of
his shops.
