IMPORTANT MPROvEMENT.-A young gentle man of fhIid-lph pha h, the name "f Coleman. broth of he inventor of the Eolian attachment to the pic anu for which, according To ihe English papers, he laIrl, received very hgh price in England, has in ,enrd and recently exhbilcd ilie working model of plan by which locomotive eng ines, with their whole trains Lf loaded attached, may pa.s up and drwn inclined planes by their own power, without he aid oi stationary engines with their cumbrous machinery, costly drag ri-s and the enormous ex- p-nse- attending them. We had the pleasure, few days since, of witnessing he operation 0t the model of Mir. C.s invention, and were highly pleased with its performance, because considered that il ford ed P, idemce oi heinz valuable improvement, calcn- lated not only 10 do away with rhe necessityof Il great proportion of the heavy annual expense attend- iag the present mode of passing inclined planes, but avoid 'he danger the lives of passengers iney. ably connected with the Ise of ihe endless drag rope at present used

 The plan consi.ts of having second trick or set of rails laid within the regular track, and raised some inches above Il. In the center of this inside middle track IS had of cast iron block wheels pulleys. very together, ing hori zonaly upon strong and firmly fastened vertical ak les or studs This we believe Is all the variation or alteration that is required to be made in the road.

 In adaptation tu this arrangement of the road there attached 10 the locomotive, underneath, d machine conanisg a set of wheels smaller than hose of the locomotive, and so placed inside of then tp the weight of the locomotive on the inner track of the rlane, rasing the outer wheels from the regular track. These two sets of locomotive wheels connected by gearing, the outer playing free from the track and serving cr,nks by which the smaller turned, the former mak ing several reyo- luons to each one of the latter, by which, as any mechanic will readily see, time IS turned into power Between the smaller wheels is atnched by gearing. lengthways wuh Ihe locomotive, a substantial cylin- der. having upon il a large strong square thread, running spira, arround il at aDg le adapted to the size of the block wheels pulleys of the road, be- tween winch il upon the principle of the screw, by the rotary motion of the cylinder to which the power of the locomotive is applied. This spinal thread of inc c, finder pressing against he pneys of the road propes The locomotive forward. and in pro. portion the disparity speed between the inner and outer wheels by graduation of IIe gearing, may he opellipg force or power be increased. IL is simply change of time into power. The machinery and gearing of course require to be made strong in proportion to the power to be applied to them. The safety of this plan consists in the fact that the gneer of the locomotive has perfect control il, stop and start il as he peases any part of the pane run up or down, either way, with tie same ease, and wnh complete command.

 We shall be glad to this improvement genei . ally intro'uced.-l Baltimore Sun.
