WHY ARE NOT OUR RAILWAY CARRIAGES WARMED
—lt is now nearly two years since this question was first
propounded in this paper. Since that time railway car-
riages in America have been heated ; and during this
winter some of the Belgian and French cor-
also adopted means to warm their carriages.
English companies taken up the scheme ? No, no., _
that we know of. Some may ask, is the thing practicable ?
or will it pay ? • It is easily practicable, arid it will, pay
