THE BUZZING MOTOR BOX.

Pump Arrangement In I'nder Trol- le; Cars Thal Sety One's Teeth on Edge.

Every change in the street C.IT transit facilities in this city produces sumie new sensation to the riders. The Intest of these is felt by those who travel in the new 41-foot long. cross- seatril cars of the Third avenue linc, and is particularly noticeable when the cars come to a stopt. In the com- parative quiet which then prevails the passenger suddenly berumes aware of a pecular noise and vibration which is transmitted throughout the body if the enr. and appears to be caused by some one being nt work sawing the track in two under the car with i. coarse-toothed saw.

It is a sensation which has a tend- erey to set one's teeth on edge, and The passenger is glad when the car starts up apa'n. hoping that he will soon he over that bad spot in the

track. lle discovers then that the sawing is still going on under him, and if he is nervous will be pretty nearly ready to leave the car to escape 11. when it will suddenly cease. After a period of quiet. during which the car may have made two or three stops. The sawing will start up aga'n for n rew effort.

This annoying uoise and vibration is made by an electric motor and pump which is carried under the bottom of the car inclosed in a thick, wooden Tase attached in the body of the car. Its work is to keep up the supply of air under pressure which works the nir brales and the reason it does not run al the tilne is that it is so ar. r. nveil ikat it is only put in operation when the pressure in the air storage cylinder falls below a certain point. When this is reached a plunger fails and makes an electric counrrtion which starts the jump motor and the pumping cont'auras nul'l The pressure reaches a maximum point, fixed at the will of the rompa .y.

To avoid the transmission of the un. pleasant na'se anl vibration to the car and passenger, it will probably be necessary to separate the pump no- for box from the car body and suspend it on a string connection .- N. Y. Sun.

"As the necessity for good runds iu- ercases, more frequent attempts are onde by the country road builders to instruet stone or macadam roads, Of wourse, some of this macadamizing is · verilenitly done, but the great major- Ity of cases are characterized by an utter want of that expert know ledgr which is required for selerting the It st materials and mxing thein in the right way. Failures are especially numerous in respect to the methods adopted," says Olto Dorner, chairman of the I .. N. W. highway improvement commit- tee.

"A stone rond of any kind is neces sarily expensive, and a pourly con- structed macadam rond always means a waste of considerable funds. The subject is, therefore, deserving of es- pecial study, and the farmers may be depended upon to familiarize them- selves thoroughly with the principles which have governed this work, expe- cially in New Jersey, where so much macadamizing has been done by state aid. We may expect that, in sime. the construction of stone ronds wil be- come as familiar to farmers as the growing of wheat, but at present there is very little general information on the subject."

"The two points to he ulserved in building stone roads arr, first, to pro- vide a proper foundation, and, second. to roll nud compact the stone metal with the utmost thoroughness. To he- gin w'th, the subsoil, which is to serve as a foundation for the sione, must be properly rrownel, sloping down from the middle to each side of the road, and musi then be rofed until it is als Int ly Lard and smooth. The road should take its sbajw from the shape of the formulat'en. The stone is but .. revering or roof for the protection of the ground beneath."
