Tho ouly statoment that wag ovor tracod directly home to thoe partios was that Dboforo tho fire they wore *malking monoy." Oue objeot of tho inquiry was to discovor what orsonn composed the Company.

Tho oporation of the invontion will bo roadily underatood by any one who is familior with the commonest and most rudimentary principle of mechanieal forco—tho lover and the fulorum, Inatoad of bearing upon tho front platform of the car, as is now tho caso, tho horse powor takes .offoct on tho forward axle, on which aro placed & ‘pair of ratchots. The whiffletreo, or cross-bar, a nttnchod to an upright iron bar, connceted ol tho lowoer end by a pivot with o transvorso bar, to which aro faatonod tho pawls which ack upon tho ratohots on the axlo. A lovorago of iwenty- {wo inchs is givon to tho upright bar, 80 that when the horso starts the power is ectly np- pliod to tho turning forward of tho axlo, aund 80 of tho front wheols, tho loverago oporating to decronso tho amount of powor ro- quired to effect n start.

Dickinson, of Kalamazoo, who bronght his modal to Chicago & short time sinco. Mr. Holmes, Suporintendont_of tho. Chicago City Ratlway, nt onco recognized tho fact that the long-donirod object had beon accomplished, snd forthwith caused the appliance to bo nilached to ono of the onc-horso cars on Btato streot, in order to q}vu ita practical test. Itis found to work to abeoluto perfoction, At the precite in- stant that the horse bogins his forward motion, no matter if the car_is crowdod, tho lovr takes offect upon tho ratcheted exlo, and the car be- gine to move forward, without that violent Strain ‘upon tho horso's- shouldor and bronst which invariably attends the ordinary procoss of moving forward a loaded car, The oxact amount of ndvantage guned by Mr, Dickinson’s ?atunt ovor tho old dend-woight plan, ia ascor- ainod by tho model, upon which A man’s woight ie vlaced, snd o common pair of steolyards used to pull the little car forward, At 8 pounds the whools bogin to move; but, when tha bar is straightoncd out and tho lovérago is no longor available, noarly 7 pounds' wolght i requircd to start the car. Mr. Dickinson’s invention can bo applied to & now car at little or no oxpense in excca of ‘that in- volved in tho ordinary hitching tacklo, It starts tho ear with at least 50 por cout loss expenditurg of powor by thio horee, of whoso entir labor and strongth in drawing & car, it is ostimated that 75 per cont s wastod in atarting tho car by tho plan now in uso.
