ABOUT RAILROAD CARS.
What Some of Them Cost and What
They Weigh.
Boston Traveller.

Boston Traveller.
An ordinary passenger car on a steam
railroad costs from 81, 900 to 5000 and
weighs 2S,OOO pounds, or nineteen tons. A
mail car, which costs from 81, 600 to 81 500
and is shorter by about one-quarter than
the ordinary passenger coach weighs 81 900
pounds, or sixteen TONS A baggage car,
without the baggage in it, weighs $500
pounds, or fourteen tons, and costs about
as much as mail car. A sleeping car is
more expensive than any of the others and
1t weighs a good deal more. too. A plain
simple, but durable sleeping car, with OBJ
servatory attachments, literary annex and
culinary department, costs anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000. The average weight of a
sleeping car is from twenty to twenty-five
tons.
A full train in motion as a little figuring
will show, is no light affair. The ordinary
weight of the railroad locomotive for pas
senger service, inclusive of tender but not
or fuel IN the tender, is forty tons. One
baggage car weighs fourteen tons, and one
mail car sixteen tons, bringing up the
weight OF the locomotive and the baggage
and mail cars to seventy tons. Six passen-
ger cars at an average of nineteen tons,
weight of baggage, of the fuel carried,
weight or train made up Of a locomotive
and eight cars would be 1874 tons, or 1868 900
pounds, exclusive of the passengers and
mail matter.
Pulling 1S4 tons along rails at the rate of
ntty miles an hour or more is an achieve
ment which has not been easily brought
about, and the more the problem is studied
the more clearly it Is understood how far
the mechanical work on railroads has been
pushed. There were by the last figures re-
ported 5000 locomotives in use on the Amer
lean railroads $4,000 passenger cars and 5000
mall anr baggage cars. These figures seem
large until compared with the number of
freight cars on American railroads, and then
them seem insignificant. for the number of
freight cars in use is 1,250.000
freight cars among the railroad men are
divided into four classes-fiat cars, such as
| are used for the transportation Of stone, ma
cbinery and lumber; box cars, such as are
used for the transportation OF grain, fruit
and ordinary merchandise; stock cars such
as are used for cattle, and coal cars, such
as are used for the transportation of coal
and oil-those used for oil being supplied
with tanks. The average weight of a fiat
or gondola car is seven tons. The car costs
from $500 to $780, Box cars weigh q ton
more and cost 800 more each. Stock cars
weigh efght tons each on the average: coal
cars weigh three. tons each. 1t costs about
500 to build coal or oil cars, and they are
designed to carry five tons apiece. The
weight of fifty coal cars is $50 tons, and of
their contents, if all filled, $50 tons, which,
with locomotive and caboose added. make
APO tons as the weight of train. 1t may be
added, roughly. that the weight. of loaded
trains, passenger, coal or freight, ranges
from 200 to $50 tons. The lighter the train
the greater the speed; that's the railroad

Each is owned by Cholo woman or girl,
and I have been told that many of these
women saloon keepers are no better than
they should be. The chicha is kept in an
immense earthen jar and is ladled out in
glasses much like the beer schooner of our
country The liquor looks like very thin
and very dirty buttermilk with decidedly
yellowish tinge. 1 have not as yet been
able to acquire taste for it, and since l
have heard how the best Of it is made l
have not had trouble in giving up trying TO
do so. Chicha is made of Indian corn or
maize. 1t is a drink that was used by the
Indians here ages ago, and you still find
it everywhere along the west coast Of South
America. The best made in Bolivia comes
from the city of Cochabamba. Here is
how it is made: The grains Of ripe corn
are first bruised with heavy stone. Then
they are handed over to a party of old and
young women, who chew them thoroughly.
mixing the grain with their saliva until
they have turned IL into a paste. when they
spit it out into a dish or cup upon a board
to dry. 1t is next put into a big earthen
vessel as large around as a wash tub and
about as high as your waist. This is filled
with water and boiled over a slow fire for
four days. 1t is then cooled, filtered and
put into the earthen vessels and left to fer
ment. After about weeks fermentation
1t is ready to drink. 1t now smells like old
yeast and tastes not unlike old buttermilk.
Good chicha will make man drunk, but
many of the Indians can drink a gallon
at time without being perceptibly affected
by it. When the Indians of the Pilcomayo
have their harvest they celebrate the occa-
sion with great feast. Each village pre-
pares quantities of chicha, and the Indians
of the whole section go from one village
to another, and there is grand chicha
drunk. They continue their drinking until
all the chicha is consumed. The women
sit around fire with the men behind
them. They pass the chicha first to the
men and then drink themselves. AS drunk
enness comes on their orgies grow more
wild, and toward the last they act more like
beasts than like men and women

comprehension has tempered her genius
and given her work a lasting power.
This element in her writing, expressed
in the most tuneful phrasings, comprises
its most valuable quality.
Ella Bentley, Jr., as she terms her
self, has really arrived at her sixteenth
year, when she ought to restrain such
injudicious frankness as to tell it. Lit
tie Ella is not short of remarkable, some
of her poems written of late and several
years ago transcending the output of
many of our recognized and much older
masters of meter. She is not SO conscious
of her art that she has been given over
to WITNESSES and the fretfulness of some
precOcious writers. Instead she registers
her simple moods as they speak to her
and with such fidelity and warmth that
she is real nature poet, confined with
in the rhythms of her own true ear. OF
course she is somewhat an heiress of her
abilities, looking back, as she Does upon
a double line of literary ancestry, but
the vaulting hopes are all her own, and
she has all the qualities in her to help
her to arrive at the guerdon of her eff
