A Simple Means OF Transportation.

The ascent Of mountains and the
carrying of necessary articles up very
steep inclines necessitate on enormaus
amount of labor and time. It is pos
sible to put up wire rope tramways at
very small expense, and have these
so arranged that loads can be brought
up minimum of the cost and trou-
bio now involved.
A sample of this device is wire
tram way recently put up at Gibraltar.
1t connects the signal station ut the
top of the rock with the town below
There are two ropes, 800 yards long,
leading to the mountain. An engine
works the ropes which are able to sus.
tain q weight of seventy tons. The
transit from the town to the station
occupies scarcely five minutes, where
formerly it took whole day.
On the general principle of the car
riage line that delivers parcels and
change in stores. al effective and rapid
means of transit between the various
points may be secured.
The rope tramway idea is yet in its
infancy, but before another ten years
hive passed this invention will be util-
lied to connect buildings OF oil sorts.
1t would be of untold value could q
single ropo and bnslzet be SO arranged
that one might pass from house to out
buildings, regardless of snow, storm.
or rain, stepping from one sheltered
entry at the house to another at thu
barn without coming in contact with
the ground. The time and need are
here, and only await the inventive
genius who shall put these into prac.
tical operations.-New York Ledger.
