Vestibuled Trains.

People hear great deal about vestibule
cars nowadays, and when a railroad de-
sires to place an especially seductive adj
vertisement before the public it announces
in attractive Typography that it runs
'solid vestibuled train" to such place.
Most people probably imagine that the
vestibule car is II particularly modern in
yention when, as a matter of fact, it isn't,
and the wonder is that the railroads were
so slow in adopting them, now that they
are so particular to announce that they
have them, and in fact no well regulated
and prosperous railroad dares acknowledge
that it isn't equipped with the all popu-
lar vestibule. The first patent was secured
in 1852 by man named Waterbury, and
the first vestibuled car was used on the
Naugatuck railroad in 1858, and about 80
patents have been taken out since that
time in this country and 20 in foreign
countries.
1t was formerly attached only to parlor
and sleeping cars, but the service is now
\common on ordinary trains, and it is the
most complete appliance of modern times
for protection and comfort. 1t is a pre-
ventive against telescoping; it assists in
ventilation; it is a means of steadying the
vibratory motion of trains; it is protec-
ton in passing TO and fro between cars.
1t is a missing link supplied, it minimizes
the atmospheric resistance to the running
of trains, and in the provision of increased
buffer resistance gives protection to the en-
CINE men against cars piling up over the
tender and engine in collisions, as some
roads are placing vestibule attachments to
the tenders. All signs point to universal
use in the near future-Cincinnati Times,

Engage In It-How the Blaol. Flshy
Paste Is Made.
Il is fact not generally known, that
by far the greatest part of that black,
ishy paste known as caviare, which Is
now 30 great q fad in the shape OF sand
wiehes, comes from the Delaware bay.
Oagiare is made Of the eggs OF the stur
econ which are ceught entirely by nets,
and average from 100 to 300 pounds. The
roe sturgeon is valued at from 81 to IS
and good sized one will give from three
to four buckets Of eggs. These eggs are
separated by running them through
coarse sieve several times, after which
they are prepared with competition Of
salts, made in Germany. 1t takes from
three TO four sturgeon to make q keg oi
cayiare which contains over hundred
pounds and cells readily for about $50
Ia order TO add to the fashion much OF

decorated with Russian OF Gsrmen labels

Twenty years ago sturgeon were
very plentiful in both the Delaware and
Hudson rivers. They destroyed smaller
6sh and wrought havoc with nets and
tie fisherman spent his leisure time
killing them. Now they have nearly
disappeared from sthe Hudaon and until
this year were so scarce ia our waters
that the industry was threatened. Their
appearance IN greater hunters is there
