Railways with Gradients.— Isr Nattrass,' Librarian of the Nelson Institute, showed us last evening a very simple mode of ascending steep gradients—even one }□ eight—illustrated on a model six feet in length. His principle lies in using grooved driving wheels in place of the usual flanged ones, the leading and trailing wheels being only of the latter pattern. From some knowledge of such matters we have little hesitation in saying that Mr Nattrass’s plan can be practically applied to railways with very steep gradients both in ascending and descending ; and in the latter, which we look On as the most dangerous operation of the two, the braking of the grooved wheels can be rendered most'effective.— Examint)'. A New Haven doctor jp.ilc.ted a clamorous lanjllmd by shewing into "a skeleton in a closet," and saying that "man came here just two weeks ago with a bill.” (For conttiiunikui of Nen-s we fourth pai/e.)
