Puttee Of Philadelphia, all actor, wilt
shortly go over to offer her a ct,mbum(-
tiuue of the Ferris wheel, "shoot the
chutes," a toboggan gide and "scenic
railway."
The device eouieista of a gigantic wheel
20U feet in height, uud with a steel fr•twe
compered of u network of brutes. Its
structural details and the towers which
support it look hot unlike the Ferris
wheel. The great difference it that, iu-
stead of having cars suspended between
the two outer tiuls, or the periphery of
the wheel, this spate is inclosed and laid
with stout flooring, giviug the whole the
apleurauce of u giguntie bicycle wheel
with a broad, ,Ant tire. Upon tills door
and in the inside of the wheel is a
great trough with side. risiuy theca/gat
above the bottom, and in ibis trough
are laid stout steel trucks. Carr rest
upon thew trucks, and the object of the
invention it to cause these vehicles, fill-
ed with people, to be carried up a c•r-
tain distance iuto the air by the wheal,
then. shut down the lnrline with the
speed of the wind and up the other side
by momentum.
The wheel Mr. Puttee hue designed tuts
two trucks around the tusuf.• of its rim,
each fitting into a w•perdt. trough of its
own. _The cars are about six feet wide.

backward up this incline, thea experi-
encing a most remnrknble sensation.

This ie the invention in bis simplest

ed novelty of a most sensatioruit tunnel

Mr. Pnttee is uow busily engaged in
perfecting the lighting appnratus for hie

incandescent lamps -of every color of
the rainbow -will be need in outlining
the ont.'r rite. the spokes, and the sup-
porting

ing device will illuminate the cars with
fairy tamps watil they enter the tunnel.
Then the lights on the cars will be ex-
tinguished, but rows of lamps pieced
