l of the conductor, in order to replenish a compressed air-tank carried beneath the car. Liquid carbonic-acid gas exerts a pressure of about 690 pounds per square inch at 42° Fah., 855 pounds at 60° Fah.. and 1,200 pounds at 86° Fah. One pound of the liquid expands so as to form rather more than eight cubic feet of gas. It may be kept in tanks made of several thicknesses of sheet-steel rolled together in the form of a scroll and united by a solder of pure tin run in between the layers. (Mathews's patent.) Tanks made of a single thickness 1/16 inch of sheet-steel, lapped four inches at the edge, and soldered in this way, may be trusted to sustain a pressure of 300 pounds to the inch, the bursting pressure being 700 lbs. One of the thicker kind above mentioned, tested by hydraulic pressure at the Newport torpedostation, withstood strains up to 3,132 lbs. per square inch before rupture. Barbour, March 14, 1865. The car carries a supply of liquid carbonic-acid stored in a tank ben
