himself non. plused when the listener
retorted: "You think you know
everything. Tell me, then, why you
wear those two supertiuous buttons on

buttons have outlived their useful

A CENSUS OF CARS.

In the United States there are 1885,
800 freight cars, of which number 20
DER cent. are already supplied with
vacuum automatic brakes. The aver
age yearly building, or increase rather,
of such cars is 10000. The New Eng
land States have $4,000 Of these cars,
New York $4,000, and Pennsylvania
2O5, 900. Practically all passenger cars
are so fitted. Their number Is IL 1898,
with an annual increase of110O. Some
of the Eastern trunk lines have adopted
automatic brakes on freight cars. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has number
OF stock cars so rugged, and is having all
such cars so fitted. Modern railroading
demands it. In Europe and America
there are 1903 engines and s0,so2 cars
equipped. In this country these appli'
| ances are in general use on all roads,
and that brings up the question, now
many railroads are there in the United
States :? There are 100 roads, having
a total mileage of 125, 151 miles, 9O,OW
miles being laid with steel rails.
