The employment of any one of the forces of
nature as a motive power lias always at the
outset encountered a strong opposition, and
generally not a little ridicule ; although it can
lie said, for the credit of mankind, that this
ridicule springs only from the ignorant, and the
opposition mainly from those whose tempo
rary interest will he incommoded to some ex
tent hy the change. The history of the dis
covery and gradual application of steam to its
present manifold uses affords a sufficient illus
tration of this fact. But now that the world
is encircled with iron tracks, and every ocean,
lake, and river traversed by vessels thus pro
pelled, the thoughtful men who are never
content with the achievements of the present
are earnestly inquiring as to whether there is
not another motive power which nature, in
the richness of her stores, still holds in re
serve. This spirit, which will never rest from
its researches so long as there is a remote
possibility of adding to the present stock of
the world's knowledge and experience, has
within the past few years been richly rewarded
by the adaptation of atmospheric pressure as
a motive power. The achievements of this
new motor, and the manner in which it is
made to operate, will bo best understood by a
description of the experiments which have
been made in this connection.
The First Pueuinatlo Despatch.
The first attempt to transport loads through
a closed tube by means of atmospheric pres
sure, was made at Battersea Fields, London,
in the month of July, 18U1, resulting in a most
nnequivocal success. Twenty years previous
to this an experimental atmospheric railway
had been attempted, the main difference be
tween the two being that in the railway the
load was drawn upon rails immediately out
side the tube, while in the Battersea Fields
experiment the load was drawn through the
tube itself. In the accompanying cut are
represented the tube, the car, and the
machinery by which the one is propelled
through the other.
THE BATTERSEA FIELDS rXEUMATIC DESPATCH.
The tube as represented above is of cant
iron, in sections nine feet in length, and
weighing about a ton, fitted to each other by
an ordinary socket-joint. The trucks were
constructed of wood, about seven feet long,
and enclosed in sheet-iron. Each one was
furnished with four flanged wheels, a foot and
three-quarters in diameter. The rails on
which the trucks ran back and forth were
raised ledges, one inch in height and two
inches in width.
The propelling power was a simple exhaust
ing fan. At a distauce of three fuct from each
other, two large branch-pipes rose from the
tube, having circular mouths, three feet in
diameter, opening towards each other.
Through both the branch-pipes ran an iron
Shaft, three inches thick and nine feet long.
One end of this shaft was connected with a
email steam engine. A hollow iron boss, at
tached to the shaft, revolved closely between
the openings of the branch-pipes, the interior
of the boss being so constructed as readily to
receive the air ascending from the tubes, and
discharge it outward with rapidity. Au iron
disk, seventeen feet in diameter and one
inch in thickness, with thirty-two radial
wooden bars upon each face, revolved in con
nection with the dos, ana was nanKea on
wither side by a thin plate of sheet-iron,
twnntv-one feet in diameter. These plates
were two inches and seven-eighths apart, and
.rvadimUv diverged from each other towards
the centre, thereby presenting a uniform dis
charging area throughout. The exhausting
pipe entered the top of the tube several yards
from the eneine. The truck, tuereiore, in
rwrniino' towards the eneine, began to compress
the air in front of it, its motion being thereby
checked. The excess of pressure at this
noint was relieved bv a Safet V-Valve. Just
Wore the truck reached the end of tho tube,
it opened the covering or door, and then glided
out gently upon an extension or tne tracK.
One hundred revolutions per minute in the
tube, which was four hundred and fifty-two
feet long, produced au exhaustion measured by
three inches oi water, while the exhaustion
produced by two hundred revolutions was
measured by twelve inches of water, or less
than one inch of mercury. A velocity of
twentv-five miles an hour was easily obtained.
the' sneed depending only on the capacity and
aironpth of the machinery. Packages of all
D . 1 1 A 1 1 I 1 . 1 -
kinds were Bent turuuu me wuoie lengm ot
the despatch tube, a distance of a quarter of a
mile; and now and then a daring laborer made
the journey with safety and comfort.
Carrying tne Malls by Atmospheric
Pressure.
To Mr. Rammell, a Civil Engineer of Lon
don, is accorded the credit of harnassing the
air lot the carriage of the loails. The experi-
ment in this line was first made over a dis
tance of 1H(K) feet, between the Pistriot I'oat
Office in Kversholt street and the Euston Tor
minus of the London and Northwestern Rail
way. At the latter point the Pneumatic Mail
Despatch is terminated in a small one-story
building. The tube is of cast-iron, arched at
the top and nearly flat at tho bottom, and is
nearly three feet in dimensions each way.
The rails pass through the wall at one
side running into a short tunnel
opposite, which answers the purpose of a
bu flier, to check the velocity of the truck when
necessary, which but seldom happens. The
trucks are made of iron, of the same shape as
the tube, but small enough to leave a clear
sjmce of an inch all around. The route of the
tube is under the yards and streets, and at
some points has a down grade of one inch in
eighty feet. The tube has three curves, which
were rendered necessary by the locality; and
the ea.se and flexibility with which the trucks
dart around them prove conclusively that
there is no necessity for making the tube en
tirely straight. Two of these curves are at
the railway station, and are constructed upon
a radius of one hundred and ten feet each;
while the third curve, which is located at the
other end, has a radius of only forty feet.
The tube terminates at the post office station
in a small building underground, in the man
ner already described. The trucks are pro
lulled ne way by exhausting the air in front
of them, and the other way by forcing the air
into the tube behind. With an ordinary cylin
der engine of forty pounds pressure, a velocity
of sixty miles an -hour has been attained,
which is as great as tho necessities of the case
demand.
Transportation of Passengers by At
inospherle Pressure.
But atmospheric pressure has been applied
to the carriage of passengers, as well as of
mails and other inactive matter. A pneu
matic passenger railway has been in success
ful operation on the grounds of the Crystal
1'alace at London. The tube in this case has
the dimensions of a tunnel, being ten feet in
height and nine feet in width, and constructed
of brick. This tunnel is about six hundred
yards in length, and extends from the Syden
ham entrance to the Penge Gate. It contains a
single line of rails, and is provided with open
ing and closing valves at each end, together
with all the necessary pneumatic machinery.
The pneumatic carriage and the entrance
to the tunnel are shown in the accompanying
cut.
THE TNECMATIC rASriENGER CAR AT SYDENHAM.
This tunnel was purposely constructed with
several curves, and with a steeper ascent from
each end towards the centre than is to be found
on any railway. The fan-wheel and disk, by
means of which the air is exhausted or forced
into the tunnel, are constructed on the same
principle as in the pnematic despatch at Bat
tersea Fields, already described. The carriage
will accommodate thirty-five persons, who
enter through sliding doors of glass at either
end. Attached to it is au iron framework, alittle
smaller in dimensions than the tunnel, and pro
jecting from this on all sides is a heavy brush of
bristles, which tits closely to the sides ot the
tunnel, thus preventing the escape of the air.
When the carriage enters the tunnel, it passes
over a deep air-well, covered with grating. Up
this well the disk lorces a strong current ot
air, immediately closing the iron doors, which
operate like lock-gates, at the end. llie air
then accumulates in the space between these
doors and the carriage, until the pressure is
sufficiently strong to force the carriage, with
its living freight, up the inclined plane.
Arriving at tho summit, its own momentum
carries it to the further end. When the car
riage is ready tor the return journey, the air
is exhausted by the revolution of the disk,
being forced through a large side-aperture, as
the doors are still kept closed, Hie vacuum
thus created in front of the car causes
it to start from the ordinary pressure of the
atmosphere in the rear, and with great
rapidity it shcot3 up the inclined plane as
before, and is carried down the descent by its
own momentum, the doors flying open in
time to permit it to emerge once more into
the daylight. With an atmospheric pressure
of but two ounces and a half to the square
inch, the distance of six hundred yards is
performed in the momentary space of fifty
seconds.
This bydenham Pneumatic Railway was a
mere experiment. The eminent success which
has al tended it, however, has emboldened the
projectors to construct
A Pneumatic Hallway under the T hames.
The Waterloo and Whitehall Pneumatic
Railway Company, in which Mr. Rammell has
a leading interest, has been chartered for this
purpose. The tunnel, the construction of
which has aneaay been commenced, is
branch of several pneumatio lines now in pro
gress. The tube is in sections of two hundred
and twenty-one feet, and is thirteen feet in
diameter. It will be made of wrought-iron,
three-fourths of an inch in thickness, encir
cled by three courses of Prick, bound by iron
hoODa : Uesuies wiucu it wiu, niter ue.in; iaia
be lined within with brick. The entire tunnel
will be live-eighths of a mile in length, and will
be sunk in position as soou as the sections of
iron are completed.
The Pronoird Pneumatic Despatch In
New YorW. City.
The necessity for the economization of space'
in a crowded city like London is so apparent,
that it is not to be wondered at that the pneu
matic system was first put into practical opera
tion there. In this country there are, per
haps, no cities iu which it could at present be
made available, with the exception of New
York. Tho peculiar configuration of tho land
on which the latter stands, however, renders
the economisition of space above ground of as
much importance as it is in London; while
the great length of the built-up portion of the
city, resulting mainly from its necessary nar
rowness, makes the saving of time by rapidity
of motion of almost equal oonsequence. Peri
odically the wise men of the metropolis take a
serious look at their situation, and enter into
an earnest discussion of the most feasible
means of securing the relief which they so
greatly need.
The passenger traffic, by omnibus, and
street cars, between the upper and
lower portions of the city is enormous; but so
inadequate, uncomfortable, and expensive are
tl ese means of transportation that multitudes
prefer to make the journey on foot. With re
spect to the transportation of goods, the figures
are quite as large as those shown by the pas-
scnger traffic. There are three or four great
national express companies which collect and
distribute in the city every day about GOOO
packages, and a dozen minor companies
through whose hands about 15,000 additional
packages pass daily. Excluding the yehicles
of these companies, which tire not required to
take out licenses from the city, and there are
in New York 1300 lioensed express-wagons,
which carry hither and thither about 30,000
difin-ont parcels every day. In addition to
these, there are 7000 publio cartmen, 1000
carts owned and employed by wholesale mer
chants,2000 by manufactuiers,2000 by butchers
and bakers, and 3000 by grocers, which gives
a grand total of 16,300 vehicles employed iu
the transportation of packages from one sec
tion of the city to another. Allowing to each
wagon the small average cf thirty packages
per day, and we have about 500,000, to which
the 100,000 packages carried in hand by
errand boys and porters should be added, giving
the total average at G00,000 packages. The
cost of tho horses and wagons employed in
this business valuing the former at $300 and
the latter at $200 each is at least $8,500,000.
These figuresiresent some idea of the capital
and amount of business on which the Pneu
matic Despatch system would rest for a foun
dation. When it is remembered that the ave
rage cost of carrying each package at present
is seventeen cents, and that this would be re
duced to ten cents by the general adoption of
the Pneumatic system, some idea of the
economy of the latter is conveyed to the mind.
With tlie above figures before them, certain
parties in New York are now discussing the
adoption of the pneumatic system in all seri
ousness. The plans tinder discussion are those
of Mr. Alfred K. Beach. One of them, which
has for its object the collection of letters at
dill'erent points, and their transportation to
the Central Post Office, is represented in the
accompanying cut.
THE PKEUMATIC MAIL DESPATCH.
Its operation will be readily seen from an
inspection of the cut the letters descending
through the body of the lamp-post and await
ing the arrival of the mail-truck between the
fans ot the wheel, which deposits them at the
proper moment on coming in contact with the
end ot the truck.
The next project that commands the greatest
share of attention at the present moment is
that for the transportation of baggage and
packages of a general character; but the sub
ject of passenger traffic is by no means ignored.
For the accomplishment of this last object
three dill'erent routes are now under discus
sion, all of them beginning in the neighbor
hood of the Battery or City Hall, and running
thence towards the northern end of Manhattan
Island. The entire cost of the excavation,
tunnelling, masonry, temporary removal of
such obstructions as water and gas mains and
sewers, together with the track and stationary
power, but excluding the rolling stock, is
variously estimated at from $5,000,000 to
11,000,1 00, according to the route selected.
In addition to these amounts, it is
estimated that damages for the injury of lands
and buildings along the route to the amount
of from $500,000 to $1,000,000 would be
assessed upon the company. The tunnel,
rolling stock, and exhausting machinery will
be of the same general character as that
already described Stations for the purposes
of local travel will be established at short dis
tances from each other, the tunnel being
widened at these points to admit of the con
struction of a platform for the accommodation
of the 300 or 400 passengers who will be carried
by each train, it is estimated that a single
track would admit of the passage hack and
forth of a sufficient number of trains to
carry a million passengers daily, which
is three times as many as the united
capacity of all the street railways will
at present accommodate. For cheapness, com
fort, rapidity of motion and absolute safety,
such an underground pneumatic passenger
railway would be unsurpassed by any system
of transportation above ground, or even by
any other underground system. If such a
project is ever carried out, New York city will
thereby be doing more than it can accomplish
in any other conceivable manner in the way of
overcoming the present inconveniences which
result from its indefinite extension in the
direction of the Harlem river.
"'Tls a consummation
Most devoutly to be wished;"
but whether the nineteenth century will wit
ness the consummation or not' is a matter of
grave doubt.

contained in the report of the Hank of Com
mprrH in 1K(2. that he. while Secretary of tun
Treasury, failed to provide for the paymeut of
the interest on tne puuuc ueuv inning una In
January, 1801. Mr. Johnson cansf d to be rend
a long letter from Mr. Thomas lu defense of his
loyalty aud official conduct, and snowing that
he successfully made such provisions.
Mr. Howard ( Mich.) said he had brought this
matter last March tiefore the Senate for the
benefit of the Judiciary Committee. He was
no accuser or prosecutor, but it did seem strange
that, although the report was made flvo years
ago. Mr. Thomas had not until recently heard
of It, notwithstanding extracts were published
in the National Intelliaencer In May. 1802.
Mr. Joliuson explained that after leaving
Washington lu 180, Mr. Thomas went to his
farm In Marylund, aud did not see the National
