SEVEN MILES OF OLD CARS.
Convicss in Wyoming Breaking Up Worm Out Railroad Material

Seven miles of condemnation is e -draWn-out affair even for the west. But 1t stands as a western growth near the state penitentiary at Laramie, Wyo., where convicts are daily engaged in making it an ever 1essening fact. For many months the inspectors of the Union Pacific railroad have scrutinized the thousands Of freight cars that handle the overland traffic. When a debilitated car of low capacity or unequipped with air brakes rattled past it was branded as con demned, and, if empty, was shunted off on the side track built to be a last process continued for months till the cars averaging thirty feet in length, reaehed total length of seven miles. Ills distance was ascertained by local Asdt1stieians, who, in the interests Of railroad history; pedaled their bicy- eles along the line and measured it with their eye1ometers. These cars are humpbaeked, swaybacked and contort- ed in every conceivable way, but they still hold themselves erect with kind of melancholy dignity. They have had careers varying from eight to twelve years, and since their building a score of changes have taken place in car construction. Their capacity is often as low as 18,o00 pounds, whereas the modern car is from 10000 to 60,000 pounds capacity. The brake mechan- ism for the freight car has come to be as complicated as was that of the passenger car thirty years ago, and inventions applying to doors, ventila- tion and running gear make the old time cars most pronounced "back num- beEe,' A contract between railroad and state calls for the demolition of these cars by the convicts, the wood going to the penitentiary, where it will keep the states charges warm this winter, and the scrap iron returning to the railroad shops, whence it will issue in due time in the form of new railway material

DEATH RATE DECLINING.
Longevity of the Human Race Is In-
 creasing Year by Year.

From Leslie's Weekly: All who hope and believe that the conditions of hu- man life throughout the world are gradually improving will find practical support for their hope and belief in an address recently delivered before the British Medical association by it's president, Dr. Ward Cousins. Among other things Dr. Cousins discussed the future progress of preventive medicine and predicted a steady and great de- cline in the death rate in the coming century. For the realization of this great object he looked, above all, and rightly looked, to an improvement in the conditions and in the dwellings of the working classes. And he was e3- pecially right in pointing out that this improvement cannot come from mere legislation.
