The railroad men of the world are
watching the trial with interest, as it
means to them a decreased cost AMI
weight OF cars, and vastly increased
carrying capacity. Not piece Of wood
is used in the construction OF the new
cars, and their Eghtress and durability
will enable them to stand any osNount
Of hard usage and heavy loading.
The Railway Review, IN a detailed
the most radical departure from pres
ent methods OF construction Is In tho
floor and stills, which are practically
one series of channels, Ii Al inches
wide, with eight-inch flange5 down
ward, the flanges forming the stills of
the car ard the back Of TIE web max
ing the floor Of the car.
The channels are secured together by
tie rods passing through the fanges
near the web. Each rod also passes
through struts of malleable castings fit
ted between the flanges of each channel.
which support the webs OF channels
at short intervals, so that the stiffness
Of the plate is not alone depended upon
to sustain the floor.
The car is virtually constructed in
the form of truss, OF which the floor
itself forms the top or compression
member. This keeps the body square
without braces or gusset plates, thus
making much lighter construction
possible than where an independent
floor is used.
IN test made by ttA Carnegie Steel
company the car easily sustained So
pounds Of load TO one of car, and, TAX
ing the body alone, which weighs H.
7S0 pounds, the load was over ten to
one. In this test the car, loaded with
$4,000 pounds was coupled to loco
motive and rapidly shifted back and
forth over four-track crossing which
was in badly worn condition, and this
without any perceptible vibration Of the
car body.
The weight Of this car Is from two to
four thousand pounds less than that OF
wooden cars. usually constructed for
and rated at 10000 pounds capacity,
which rating is sometimes in excess OF
their elastic limit. 1t is claimed by the
builders that the cost of maintenance
Of this car, leaving out of account the
wheels, axles, journal bearings and
couplers, will be less than 25 per cent
OF the average cost OF wood cars now in
service, and that ten times the number
can be kept in repair with the same
ground and shop capacity that is now
required, with proportionately less in
vestment in material for repairs.

IIsa'hen Mourning. 4.

Fashion among Hindoo women re-
uuires an extravagant display Of grief
on the death of son or husband
never, however on the death OF a
daughter. The crying required BY GUS
tom Is so excessive that in many cases
it leads to the loss of eyesight. Many
who have thus mourned have the eye
lashes turned inward, scratching the
cornea till 1t becomes Opaque or nearly
sightless, or else a cataract has formed
in ono or both eyes. These Indian
women literally cry their eyes out. A
recent report tells of woman who lost
both her eyes, mourning, not for son
or a husband, but merely for favorite

The Omaha Weekly World-IIerald

creasing it1 circulation by offering large
prizes to those new subscribers who
construct the shortest sentence contain
ing all the letters of the alphabet.
This is sort OF reverse of last years
prize contest. when the object was to
construct the largest number OF words

1t will be interesting to note how
short sentence can be made and still
contain all the twenty-six letters in the
alphabet. The trouble, of course, will
lie to get In such letters as x, y, and q.

Connecticut Peach Orchards.

Connecticut produced $4,000 baskets
OF peaches last summer, and several
companies have been formed to plant
large peach orchards and cultivate
them On the most approved plan. Those
who have given attention to the sub
ject say that peach trees in the northern
states will bear at least seven years in
ten, and that the farmer who does not
plant a few trees every year for his own
use deprives his family of one Of ma
