Steam Heating of Passenger Cars

10 the Chicago, Milwaukee and st!
Paul Railway belongs the credit for
first having brought the matter of
steam heating Of cars into general no.
tice; to that company belongs the cred-
it of being the first Western road which
has brought its experiment to sue
cessful issue, and to that company the
travelling public will be indebted for
it's taking the initiative in equipping
it's principal through trains with this
comfort-producing and l1fe-saving ap-
paratus.
In order to explain the manner in
which the cars are heated the following
is furnished by MI George Gibbs, Me-
carenglneer Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il st. Paul Railway
The steam is taken direct from the
locomotive boiler through pressure reg
ulating and safety valves, which allow
low pressure steam only to pass back
to the cars, through the emain train sup
ply pipe and thence to the heating pipe
in each car.
The direct supply pipe is carried
through the top of the cars, and hexi-
bic connections made over the ceutpl
Of the platforms by means Of automat-
ic couplings and hose. BY this con-
struction. complete immunity from
danger of scalding in case of accident
is secured: the reducing and safety
valves making over pressure impossl-
bic and the automatic coupling on TOP
of cars allowing harmless escape of the
steam, and instantly breaking connec-
tion to locomotive.
The direct train pipe is tapped il
each car by a branch pipe, which com.
municates with radiator piping along
the sides for heating surface. In addi-
tion to this, provision is made for prop
erly ventilating cars by an arrangement
in each of indirect heating" radiators.

Unlimited Credit.

A country schoolmistress had much
trouble with her pupils, and to avoid 1t
made her examples placed before them
of an explanatory character or illustra.
tive. The effect was often unexpected.
In going over their usual reading lesson
line was chosen by the lady upon which
to test the merits of the scholars. The
line read, "And he was man of unlim-
tied credit In business"
Now, John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word credit when used as
in this lessonY
Thus she addressed one of the stum-
bling blocks Of the school.
II dunno, marm," said Johnny, look-
ing sheepish.
~ "You don't know!' said the mistress.
Well, look here. Supposing your
mother was to come short of money at
the latter part of the week, and needed
provisions, ETC., now what would she
doY'
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain, and awaited the correct reply,
and it came thus:
"Well, marm," replied Johnny, 81
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dads Sunday coat"
The subject was instantly dropped,
and the teacher has lost all faith in that
style of illustration. Young Ladies'

And indeed upon closer inspection we
found the two bears lying dead side by

Himalayas.
1t was amongst the great black bears

serious adventure befell me, nearly put

We We're party of two or three,
shooting in a vast jungle on the banks

fired and hit him, but on he came;
and in another moment, towering above
me, he had closed with me and knocked d
me down like ninepin, drawing his
huge claws across me, from my shoulder
to my thigh.
But for my wearing a thick woolen
cumberland, or belt, wrapped many
times round my middle, he must all but
inevitably have injured me fatally.
The bear stood over me, growing, like
a cat playing with mouse. But l did
not lose my presence of mind, and man
aged to get out my hunting knife, which,
with the strength Of despair, buried up
to its hilt in the animals chest.
He staggered little, but he seized me
the next minute with his jaws round my
thigh and shook me. The thick goatskin

again, though, at this juncture, and he
dropped me, only to seize me, again,
however, at this time ON the shin, which
he tore from knee to ankle.
But he was losing blood fast, and drop
ped me a second time. Then he pulled
himself together, as it were, and had an
other go at me. This time he seized me
by the ankle, and bit one of the tendons
nearly through.
But the bear was done for. Faint from
loss of blood, he had to drop me again,
and staggered, rolling over. He picked
himself up. though, only to fall again
and roll away some yards from where
lay, and to fall dead.
He measured six feet from nose te

Byron's mother was fool and his father
was rascal. He poisoned his first wife,
Lady Caermarthen, who was divorced
from him because her father, Lord Hold

children, and he had nothing more to
expect. Miss Gordon, though she was
told Of this, and had fortune of 5000

she lived with her son in garret at Aber-

phrase goes,.he had the judges on the

they saw 1t.
Another such practical joke was play
ed upon the late Mime. Rudersdorf by
Sir Michael Costa, the conductor. At
rehearsal one day the lady declared that
she could not sing her song as it was
written, but must have it transposed
half note lower
''But, madam" said Costa, consider
the Inconvenience, especially to the wind
instruments, and particularly as all my
men cannot be counted upon to transpose
at sight.
But madame was obdurate, and Costa,
Struggling his shoulders, bowed in acqui-
escence.
Very well, gentlemen" said he, turn
ing to the bewildered orchestra. and
closing his score. Tomorrow you will
play it note lower"
The next day, however, just before
Nine. Rudersdorff came on to sing, Costa
whispered to the orchestra: 'sIn the orig
inal ke3l No CHANGE And so it was
sung.
At the close of the air the singer turned
to Costa and thanked him warmly.
II am charmedt'' she said.
Madame" replied Costa, with touch
of pleasant irony, 1--WE are also charmed.
You sang it in the original key"
Had Nine. Rudersdorff's ear been as
unerringly correct as that of certain phe
nomenal musicians the joke could never
have been successfully carried out, but
the conductor, of course, knew with
whom he had to deal. Youths Conn
