Seotiand; has furnished the Grass Val-.
ley Union with report recently read] ,
by Professor Archer before the British .
Association, descriptive of Thomson’s
road steamer. We make the following
extracts from Professor Archer’s description: “Some very interesting tri‘als have been niade during the last few
weeks with two six horse power road
steamers, under the direction of the in.
ventor, Mr: R. W. Thomson, of Edinburgh, which exhibits their tractive
‘ power and speed in a remarkable manner, The most extraordinary trial was
one in which the six-tan road steamer
"was harnessed to four huge wagons and
load weighing together 34 tons—which
itdrew without an effort or any stoppage from the foot to the top of Granton Road —a distance of a quarter of a
mile, with inclines of from 1 in 18 to 1
in 25. Arrived at the top, it turned
. with its train in the road itself, andran
back to its starting place. It may
again be pointed out that the drawing
of 84 tons, besides the engine’s own
weight, up 1 in 20 is equal to drawing
150 tons on a level road. Of course no
claim is made that a six horse power
road steamer could habitually do work
like this, but a record is here given ‘5
a test to which its powers were publicly
pat. The ether road steamer was attached to an omnibas which conveyed
a party of .géhtlemen from Granton to
Leith. The distance is 2% miles, and
the journey was performed in 214 minutes, or at'the rate of eight miles an
hour—that being the highest speed at
which it was deemed safe to tun’ thro’
atown. This road steamer has been
bailt especially for omnibus traffic, and
is exceedingly light and compact,”*
The following is an extract from the
letter of a well known Scotch engineer:
“We took out a 15-ton boiler to Stoneywood, on a four or five ton wagon, with
2 feet 6 inches and 3 feet whrels, right
down Union street, at a speed of three
milegan hour, at the busiest hour of
the day, all the way in the single gear,
except about: 100 yards of steep in
Crown street, and the Brae of Greeenburn, where the single gear failed us—
at least it was about a balance, and we
put onthe double gear. Usually we
have had to have men bebind with
ropes to hold back on the Brae down
to Stoneywood, but the engine was
drag enough of itself almost. It cer.
tainly is a feat for a 5-ton engine to
drag o¥€a 20-ton load and climb grades
of 1 in 20 with a sivgle gear. We had
“all Aberdeen turned out as we passed.
~ It was an unusual sight'to see the Infant Hercules in front of the great
boiler, 80 feet long and 7 feet in diameter, bowling along with it like a
a plaything at its tail, whilst the plaything itself shook the houges again as
_ it danced over the rough causeway,”
Mr. Watt, who is a practical engineer.and machinist, thoroughly examined the engine when he was in Scot«
land, and he assures the Union that
the engine is all that is claimed for it.
The experiments given above are
sufficient to satisfyany one that the
engine may be used upon our mountain roads to advantage, and we should
like to see one of them put upon the
route from Nevada to Grass Valley and
Colfax, for the transportation of freight
and passengers to the railroad. Anen~
gine that will pull 34 tons up an incline of 1 in 18, ought to do the work
over the grades on mountain roads
with ease. We should like to see a
company organized in Grass Valley
and Nevada,. with the purpose, after
becoming fully satisfied of the practica-~
bility of the dhdertaking, to import
one of these engines. Such a line
would be almost as good as a railroad.

THE grand total of the German
troops thus far brought into the field .
against France numbers 856,000, of
which the North German Confederaticn furnished 700,000 and the Southern German States 156,000, Nearly
the whole of this force is now on French
soil, and a short Winter campaign is
expected to bring the War to an end,

A MACHINE, newly invented, for
making’ wodélen. goods, is attracting
some attention -in Portland, Maine.
The chief advantage claimed for it
‘seems to be the great quantity of cloth
which it is capable of producing, which
is stated at 250 yards a day, or six or
eight times the quantity made by the
present machines.
A FRENCH paper gives the following
as the exact distances between the

One of the Swampscott fishing fleet,

REFERRING to the statement telegraphed
from London, that the Emperor Napoleon
has 10,000,000 francs secured on real estate,
through the agency of Brown Brothers of
New York, the New York Express says that

Emperor has a large real estate in New Jersey, especially in Hoboken.

the number still held by the writer
hereof be identical, almost all of these}
remarks will be retracted. There is
little hope, however, of sucha thing
happening: that telegram is apt to be
too crashingly cerrect. As Mr, Wil. kins Micawber wrote, when something
did not “turn up” as he had fondly
hoped; we remark: “The fair land of

OF the national debts, that of Great
Britain is the heaviest, being $133 per

and taxation, is the United States.

announcement of the ‘drawing of that
prize, and the crowds on the streets
dispersed, though the attendance at
the pavilion was still large.
THREE different correspondents, depict the condition of Metz before the
surrender.as deplorable. Women and
children actually died of starvation, and
the troops of Bazaine were so weakened
by want of food that they were incapable of making a successful atttack.
Many of his poor soldiers went to him,
however, and begged to be led against
the enemy, as they preferred to be
sbot rather than die of starvation.
