The NEWEST THING IN RAILRoADING.-The
new sleeping coaches for the Erie Railway Will
probably be put on the road when the spring
timetable takes effect. These cars will run to
Chicago without change, notwithstanding the
great difference in the gauges OF the roads
over which they are to run. over the Erie
road they will run on wheels of six.foot gauge.
At Buffalo the cars will run under hoisting
machine, which will lift the car from the
broad gauge trucks. Should this newest thing
in railroading be successful, 1t will relieve the
public from many annoyances from varying
railroad gauges, Of which there are five Qn-
Gliding the marrow gauge''l In the country.
The attempt some years ago to make car
wheels movable on their ax1rs, go as 10 accom-
modate different gauges 1t was thought at the
time would fill the requirement, but II has not
been tried to any great extent on passenger
cars, but 1t has to some extent on freight cars,
the shifting being done by. running the cars
upon gradually convergiDg or dlVerglng
tracks until the narrower or broader gauge Is
reached. Then the wheels are again locked
