yelling.
The latest signs of progress in connection with
railway matters consist in steam passenger cars
adapted for short lines, and new style of win
dow which will add thousand fold to the com.
fort Of travellers. The expense Of running full
trains where the passenger traffic is light has
long been felt a. tremendous drawback to the
accumulation of profits; it is proposed, there
fore, to run passenger cars of one of which the
following is . description:
The car is thirty.seven feet long it has seats
for thirty-six passengers; also, baggage room
six feet long, together with saloon and mail.
room. The machinery is on the platform, in
front of the car, in remarkably small space,
and acts on the drivers by means of gearing,
which runs so smoothly and noiselessly that no
one would suspect the mode of applying the
power. Coal is used for fuel, which is also on
the platform in bInkers, and within arms length
of the engineer. The water is held in tank
under the baggage room, and coal and water are
carried for twenty FIVE miles, The speed attain
ed WAS at the rate of twentv-eisht miles per
hour. The entire weight of the car, with fuel
and water for twenty-five miles, is only eleven
that an engineer and conductor are only required
TO manage it."
The window is if anything more novel and Of
more Importance to those who have to pass over
our dusty roads in the summer months 1t is
called deaector and is so arranged that all the
annoyance arising from dust and sparks is COM
pletely obviated. The most successful plan in
operation up to this period is, We believe, Rut
tans, which by current Of pure air rushing into
the car, prevents the entrance Of that fine dus,
so troublesome to the nostrils and hurtful to the
lungs, but the "deaector," by its simplicity
appears to supersede that system.
This apparatus or deHcctor is simply window
one half Of which is glass, and the other hall
wire gauze. The glass, instead of standing pa
ralle to the side of the car, sets of Mt an angle
and defects the dust and sparks on the outside
and rushing past the glass, causes a strong cur
rent from within to follow it-this current find
ing egress through the wire gauze which divides
the aperture or space made by the window frame
in other words, the glass covers one half Of the
window and the wire gauze the other. The pc
culiarity of this arrangement consists in the in
genious manner in which the whole device i:
applied to the window, since it makes no differ
ence in which direction the cars move, the glas:
pane or deaector, can be adjusted 10 suit, ant
that in so speedy and handy a manner that 1
brakeman can do it while the car is in motion
