Kansas City Times
Within the past nine months more improve
ments have been made in railroad equipments
than in any like period in the history of the
country. Perhaps the most daring now
being attempted is the utilizing of natural gas
as fuel for engines, and TO furnish light and heat
for the cars. Several master mechanics in the
country hold that this product can be confined
and used at will. and the master mechanic of
the Fort Wayne. Cincinnati and Louisville road
has demonstrated his belief so plainly that the
officials of that line have placed at his command
all the money, men and material necessary TO a
thorough test The route of that road is
through the heart of the immense gas regions of
Indiana, many of the wells being of great pres
sure, and flowing from 3, 600, 900 to Il. 00O, 600
cubic feet every twenty-four hours.
Several weeks ago the master mechanic and
superintendent had constructed q wroughtiron
cylinder, eighteen feet long and two feet in
diameter with heavy ends screwed in. The
cylinder was subjected to the most critical and
scientific tests, and provided with gauges
to register the pressure. 1t was placed on board
a and transported TO Montpelier, nd,
where there are located two strong gas wells
The cylinder attached to one of them which
had rock pressure of 4o0 pounds to the square
inch. When the gas was turned on the gauge
showed that it was full in less than one minute.
The tank was then loaded on the cars and
taken to the shops at Fort Wayne Here it was
attached to the usual natural burning APP

NEW YORK. jan. 26.-The Sun says tsThe
sugar trust gave another evidence of Its power
yesterday, when it ordered Moller. Siereck e.
Co. to close their refinery. One of the firm said
that the shutdown would not occur until the
raw sugar on hand had been used up. In the
meantime The hrm notified its employees to look
for new jobs. This is the fourth sugar refinery
that has been closed since the sugar trust was
perfected in this city. The three Others were

So much of a success was the first test that
others have been made with larger cylinders
and the gas transported each time a distance of

are so well satisfied with the experiment that
orders have been iesued to equip the road en-
gnes with tanks. and the workingmen in the
shops are now making the necessary changes.

the pattern of the Standard Oil Company's cars
are being made, and these will be attached

The cost is exceedingly small, engine

The experiments made at Fort Wayne have
been watched by expert mechanics employed by
the Erie and Pennsylvania companies. and these
systems will also commence the construction of
gas tanks for the same purpose. In case the
tests made by these companies are successful,
