mains in English Railway Trains.
From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
When railroads were first started in
England the carriages for personal trans
portation were constructed by making a
long body frame, mounted upon trucks
and placing on 1t three stage-coach bodies
all being well bolted together The tray
cling public was thus given accommoda-
tons which. In interior arrangements at
least, resembled very closely those to
which they had been accustomed, and.
after some demurring, the new order of
things was gradually accepted. As the
art Of car building progressed. however,
Il was soon found much better to con-
struct the whole affair as one piece Of
work. but the influence OF custom was 50
strong that the British railway carriage
Is still built on the stage-coach model,
and II Is TO this cause, rather than to
any other, says Casters Magazine, that
the compartment system owes its being.
Although the carriage il practically built
az one vehicle, IL Is ornamented on the
outside by mOuldings, curved TO follow the
old lines OF the stage-coach body, and
even when these mouldings are omitted In
the lower-class carriages, curved stripes
OF paint are put on 10 tell the story OF
the evolution Of the car from the coach
But there are other examples OF the alb
surdity of initiating In form a construc-
ton OF which the need no longer exists.
The motor carriage Is already In evidence,
and e, too, bears the earmarks OF lis
horsey, though hOrseless, origin. one OF
tho latest forms Of these carriages bears
all over indications OF the existence OF
the horse that isn't there. In front there
