TO PREVENT COAL THEFTs.


The stealing OF coal on railroads Is
very active industry In districts where
railroad competition is brisk the roads
find 10 worth their while 10 stand the
loss due to thefis Of coal from their
ears. In other districts, where mines
are scarce and brand OF coal is well
advertised, the dealers will stand the
loss. In other districts, again, as in the
state of Kentucky, where mines are
numerous and the competition is heavy,
the onus of the thefts falls on the mine
operator A large mine owner, who
had to bear losses of this kind finally
bethought himself of a practical plan
of stopping them. lie built car con-
slsting Of an ordinary gondola car, COW
cred by a sectional roof divided into
four folding doors upon each side Of
the car, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch
The doors are SO equipped that they
can be turned back, one at time, or
convenient for loading. When the eur
is loaded, the doors are locked and
sealed by one operation. The ear is
then weighed and Is sure of being de-
livcred and paid for at mine weight.
Protection Is also thus given the coal
from rain, ice and snow, and the train
crew are not under the necessity Of
climbing over an open loaded ear Of
