IKVBKTION.—
Mr. T. J. Ream y har
shown u a a model o f au iagenioua inven
tion for wbioh be baa applied for
a

Tbe object of thu Invention la to avoid
e x tra boraea on atrcet cars by roaaon of
hills. Mr. Ream y claims for his inven
tion th at Instead o f using breaks In going
down grade, bo can p u t a apring in post*,
tion by whicii the speed of the car Is loi-
aened and the aame tim e tbe sp rin g
la
w ound up and w hen the car commences
an aaoaot, tba a p rin g cao again be p u t in
poaltlon and power will bo given by the
apring to force the oar up tbe bill. Tbia
invention, It la claim ed, will avoid the
uaoesalty of
a a

and atreet eara can be ru n with one th ird
the n u m b er of boraea. I t will alao act on
tbe sam a prjoolpal le stopping for pmaaen-
