Scheme of C. NJ. HigginsOn to
Save Money.
Santa Fe Cars Given Enlarged
Capacity by New Trucks.
Every Freight Car Going in the
Shops Now Supplied With Heavy
New Axles-Fewer Cars Need
ed to Train.

When a freight car now leaves the
Santa Fe shops in this city after hav-
ing been in for repairs it shows a ca
pacity of from 10000 to 10000 pounds
greater than the capacity marked on
its side when it entered the shops This
is one of the ways in which c. NJ. Hig-
g1nsOn, assistant to the president, is
saving the Santa Fe company thOus-
ands Of dollars every year.
When a freight car now enters the
shops for repairs it is supplied with
practically new trucks. Heavy new
aXles are substituted for the old ones,
and the trucks and floor strengthened
sufficiently to bear a much greater
weight than formerly. In this way
the capacity of the car is enlarged, and
as a. consequence fewer cars are needed
in a train.
As a result of charging the capacity
of the cars the same amount of freight
can be moved by at least One-third the
number of trains as at present, and the
entire expense of running the extra
trains saved to the company.

VICTORIA AND THE INGoT.
Picturesque Incident of the Queens
Visit to Sheffield.

During the recent royal visit to Shelf
field Queen Victoria witnessed the roll
ing of a piece of armor plate for H NJ.
S. Ocean. The London Graphic's cor
respondent says: All being now ready,
the furnace doors were slowly lifted
scissors were thrust into the gulf and
forth came most glorious object, an
ideal jewel glowing and bursting with
radiance which made those near it veil
their eyes piously with their hats, as
though they had entered an old fash
iened church. The ingot was like a
lump of Turkish delight in shape, but
it was ~ inches in thickness and
weighed Sc tons. This glorious, gigan-
tic gem, indescribably lovely, with its
lambent fires and yelling glories of re-
fuIgent splendor, was rolled across to
the great forging press, which took the
glowing mass into its lips like so much
asparagus and treated it much as
printing machine treats the paper sub
jected TO its informing pressure. The
queen watched the process with mani
fest interest shielding herself from the
tie hand screen of eOlored glass, a de-
vice of which Princess Christian and
after awhile the Duke of Connaught
also availed themselves.
The ceremony was brief, but impress
sive. The queen in her honored and
beloved old age on the one hand and
the crude form of an armor plate for
one of her battleships on the other.
