Trati.portnllon by Air Power. The most lm|*ortaiit use to which com pressed air Is put is in the propulsion of cars and vehicles. In this system the car carries Ita own motive power In ateel tubes beneath thc seats. Paris has the mow extensive syalem of compressed nlr cars. Next come# that of the 2sth and 29th Street cross-town lines In New York city. The plant for com pressing the air us* and on these lines Is situated at 21th Street and Hudson Klver 'lhe air compressor Is probably the larg est In the work!. The engine operating It Is of I.oxl horse power. The fly-wheel Is twenty-two feet In diameter and weighs 12.1X0 |*.unds. There are four cylinders In Ihe compressor In the first thc aJr Is * ompressed to 40 pounds to (he square Inch; in the second to I*o. In the third to 5.70 .in-1 In the fourth to 2.Y*t.

Into these rei ep.acles air Is forced and kept until n.-ckitl. When a car Is ready for a trip, lls tanks (beneath the seats; are connected with the steel cylln dcis as a bicycle pump Is connected with ihe tire The air Is turned on. and In a few minutes the ear Is ready to start.
