There hat Just been constructed the
most unique combination of revolving
wheel and Inclined railway that the
genius of th Inventor has ever con-
ceived. The wheel li on th principle
of the Mg rnntrlvnnre which was one
of the principal feature of the World's
1'olr the Ferris wheel.
The ictar.t wheel li moved up and
down an Inclined railway with a rotary
motion thin permitting the passenger
to move forward aud upward and
downward and forward at the same
time. There are ten rare attached to
the wheel at regular Interval each
car capable of holding forty persona.
The flrtt wheel constructed are to

bration at Nhvllle Tenn.. and will
make the circuit of the entire grounds
utilized for the celebration a dltitanre
of two and one-half mile on what la
called th lntermural railway. These
wbtcis will alowly revolve during the
entire Journey. When at the top of the
