This shows the vast advantages of a railroad over a common road. The inquiry may now be made why a narrow, and therefore a very cheap, railroad may not be made for the use of men? If they can move forward on such a road only one ton, or even half a ton, they could easily do on one such road all the transportation that is needed on most of the routes leading to our principal market towns.

[From the London Mechanics' Magazine.] DOMESTIC SELF-ACTING PUMP.-Sir: I am desirous of knowing whether any method has been used to apply the force of a small stream of water, having a fall of about 60 or 70 feet, by hydraulic pressure to raise a large portion a less distance.
