passenger cars and one baggage car, when ;
properly loaded, will not be much less than
eighty tons weight. This body, at the
rate of forty niiles an hour, moves about
sixty feet in a second. That is, between
two beats of a clock, it flies across a
common street. The driving wheels, if six
feet in diameter, revolve three time3 in a
second. The common wheels of the cars
revolve about curbt times in a second.
