Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

L. Xavire Eyma, a Frenchman, Who
came to this country in 1S47, wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22nd, 1913, giving his ex-
periences on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road had
length Of seventy leagues, and that the
cost of the road was 4,116,744 francs.
the receipts 3,9SS,456 francs and ex.
pcnses 1,964,741 francs. He also gives
considerable space to the interior ar
rangements of the sleeping cars used
at that time, and says that, "they are
actually houses where nothing is lack
ing for the necessity of life, and are
divided into compartments and sleep
ing rooms, some for men and some for
women" Each room held six beds OK
rather little couches in three tiers along
the sides. He winds up his account by
saying that valuables are not part:cu.

oLD-TIME DOCTORS.

The Dutch West India company,
which colonized the island Of Manhat-
tan, enjoined upon the colonistsu to
support a minister and schoolmas-
ter, and also to appoint Zieckentroos-
tiers (comforters of the sick). Some
times the Offices Of pedagogue and
comforter" were united in one per-
son, he being 'pious, we'll qualified and
diligent." Usually the comforter OF
the sick was safer attendant than
the doctor in those days, whose con-
ception of disease and remedies was a
confused theory Of humors, sympathet-
les and antagonistics.
"The whole ground of physic," says
a. medical authority of 1867, lis COM

pathy and antipathy. The one cures

affected. the other by resisting the

Certain simples and compounds, with
few mineral remedies, were made
up into unguents, plasters, liniments,
pills, boluses and decoctions. Armed
with these, and with herbs ga.uered at
certain phases of the moon or conjunc-
lions of the planets, and above all with
the lancet, the seventeenth century
doctors waged war with disease. They
had no intelligent conception of the
causes or processes of disease, nor
of the true action of drugs; yet they
thought they cured disease. No won

The author of an essay entitled The
Doctor in Old New York, published in
the "Half-Moon Papers," himself a
physician, says that the remedies Of
the most eminent physician CT his time
in Europe, whose patients were Henry
~. and Louis XIII. of France, and
James I. and Charles I.~of England,
were calomel, sugar of lead, pulver-
lied human bones, raspings of an I'M
buried human skull and balsam Of
bats.
We sneer at the remedies of Chinese
doctors, whose error is that they stop
ped learning three hundred years ago,
whereas their English brethren went
on from one medical discovery to an
other, and often set aside the teach
ings which were twenty years old as
obsolete.
.
Doubtless the personality of these
doctors had much more to do with
their success, whatever it was, than
their practice had. They sought to
make themselves impressive; they
carried gold headed canes and wore
wigs with two or three pigtails-so
deliberately dressed that they went
hatless to call on their patients.

buckles and a muff were essential to

Electric Canal Haula:c.

-
Exploiters Of electric canal haulage
systems are confidently looking to
England as a field for early operations
on an extensive SCALE. The decay OF
the vast network Of canal communities
ton in that country is due chiefly to
The slow speed of transmission as
compared with that of railways and
"oasting steamers. and the heavy
charges for tolls and for towing. The
method Of hauling in general use re-
mains the same as it was century
ago-by horses. The steam tQgboats
which have been tried have invariably
proved failure. and now the canal
boat owners are falling back on cleo
tricity. A system now under trial
gives good promise Of being practical
solution Of the situation, as it acceler-
ates the speed Of traction, while ma
terially reducing its cost. 1t is claim
ed that this economical and efficient
method Of haulage> can be applied to
any canal without in the least inter-
fering with the use of horses, thus en-
abling the latter to be dispensed with
by degrees II desired. In this system
the motors are made entirely indepen-
dent of the barges, which are hauled
with ropes, exactly as with horses. In
this way the waste Of energy incurred
with a screw propeller is almost en-
tirely obviated. An aerial railway,
consisting of two steel rails, braced to-
gether at one side so as to form rigid
girder, is supported at height of nine
or ten feet above the towing path by
cast iron brackets on wooden posts at
intervals Of about 80 feet. Each of
the rails is running track for an cleo
trio locomotive. This machine is sim
ply an electric motor mounted on a
four-wheeled car; two of the wheels
run on the upper surface of the rail
supporting the weight of the locomo-
tive, and two run beneath the rail,
bearing against the lower surface in
such way as to insure the stability
Of the locomotive. The locomotive is
controlled entirely from the barge, no
driver being required. The advan-
tages claimed for this system are: That
the boats require no attention what
ever; the delays in passing incurred
with horse haulage are obviated;
bridges and tunnels cause neither trou
bic nor delay; no time is lost in wait
ing for train of barges to be loaded;
power can be supplied to private con-
sumers at low rate; the cost of haul
age is reduced by so or 60 per cent.
and the time occupied in transit by
20. to so per cent as compared with
horse haulage, and when frost ties up
the canal the machine eats up no food.
The respective costs per ton mile in
English practice are: Haulage with
horses, .033c..and electric haulage, .02c
