Combination Sleeping and Parlor

SHF.
A problem upon which railway men
have long exhausted their brain power
is the production of a combination
sleeping and parlor car. 1t is believed
that a thoroughly practical, and also a
very attractive car has now been con-
structed which wi. fill the lo%ng-sought
requirements. The berths are stored
beneath the floor of the car. and the
necessary space for storing IS obtained
by a compartment which extends the
entire distance between the trucks.
Under the floor a pocket or recess is
constructed, having its sides formed of
heavy steel channel irons. This peck
ct, which is dust-proof, is deep enough
to contain two berths with springs and
mattresses made up complete. When
the berths have to be made up. a sec
ton of the floor is raised, and they are
swung UP, adjusted and quickly
slipped into their places, one after the
other. The bottom berth is much low
or than in the ordinary car, and there
is, therefore, more head-room and bet
ter ventilation in the berth. The ven
tilation of the upper berth is also n
great Improvement, as two windows,
duly screened. open above the berth,
and can be controlled by its occupant
without in any way disturbing the per.
son in the lower berth. This simpliii-
cation of equipment is an unquestion-
able boon for roads having short runs.
1t is no slight advantage to be able to
use one car as a bed room by night and
as Il parlor by day. For excursions,
nothing could be better. One of these
cars had a kitchen in the end. and a
party which chartered it lived in it
some eight weeks while on an extended
traDScOntiDeDtaI trim.

cry.
The excellence of American coal con
veying machinery eXcites the admirl-
ton of English engineers. The Qucs-
ton Of conveying coal to the furnace
with the least possible handling. which
forces itself upon the attention of
every designer of electric works, be-
II of more and more importance in
proportion to the size of the undertake
ing. An installation of Il most succeTS
full coal conveyer, which is mentioned
by an English electrical paper as a de-
sirable model for British engineers to
follow, has been made in a New York
power station. AS the station is stu
ated some distance from the coal sup
ply, the fuel is delivered TO the station
by teams. which dump the coal into n
hopper. The coal is drawn from this
hopper into n bucket %conveyer, which
delivers it to the storage tanks above
the boilers. These tanks hold 1000
tons, and deliver the coal from chutes
to the boiler room floor, from which it
is fed into the boilers. The conveycr,
on its return. passes under the boiler
room floor and draws the ashes from
the hoppers under the boilers, and car
ries them to the upper part of the
building, where they are stored until
carried away by carts.
