WHERE THE IRON GOES.
Two Hundred Million Pounds Used
in Steel Cars.

Tt has been calculated that the in
PRODUCTION of the steel car, since the in
dustry was started four years ago. up
to June /, 1901, more than POP. $50, 900
pounds of iron and steel have been used
in the construction of 40.57S cars. The
average weight of each car will exceed
So 900 pounds, so that the calculation
is based upon figures which are approx
imately correct If these cars were
placed end to end. allowing three feet
for length of couplings. they would form
a continuous train nearly 200 miles
long, and would carry 4,p57 zoo. 900
pounds of freight. and the total weight
of cars and freight combined would
exceed 1890. $50 900 pounds. AS an in
centive to the increase in the demand
the steel car industry has been ire
mendous factor. But not alone in the
matter of cars has the invention Gre
ated a demand for steel. The necessity
for stronger bridges. heavier rails and
the increased. train loads made possible
have helped greatly TO create a demand
for soft steel structural iron and
plates.
Since experiments have been made
with steel passenger coaches and box
cars, conservative railroad officials are
free to admit that there is going to be
a still greater demand for steel prod
ucts in the future One well posted
railroad official says that there will be
10000 steel cars ordered before the pres
ent year expires, and that all the large
buildings of the future viii have steel
frames, and he predicts that before 1903
it will require &c. 600 GOO tons of ore an
nualiy to supply Pittsburg steel manu-
featuring industries

MAKING FAST PROGRESS.
Rock Island Will Have Line to Ell
Paso by January l.

First Vice President H Fl. Parker of
the Rock Island has just returned from
a trip over the cOmpany's extension
from Liberal, Kan, to Ell Paso, Texas
He says he expects to have trains run
ming into Ell Paso by the middle of De
cember or the first of January at the
latest.
He further states that the Ell Paso
and Northwestern, which is extending
eastward from White Oaks. n. NJ, is
rapidly approaching that part of the
extension which the Rock Island is
building west from Liberal The two
roads are only about 200 miles apart,
and the gap is being closed rapidly. The
Rock Island has built over 400 miles Of
road this summer and made as good
progress as was ever before made in
such a country
The company is building one bridge
over the Canadian river that will re-
quire another month for completion, and
when that is done the track-laying will
be pushed through in a hurry The
bridge IS a steel structure, 120 feet high
and 500 feet long. This is the most ex-
pensive piece of work on the road.
The completion of the extension will
make the Rock Island the short line
from Chicago to southern California
and the City of Mexico.

NO. / STILL LIVES.
First Engine Made For the Memphis
Still in Use.

The Fort Scott Monitor says: Very
few engines are to be seen bearing the
plumber I. When railroads are first
built that number is applied to the first
engine and all are then numbered con-
secutively. The first engine made for
the use of the Memphis, or Gulf, as it
was then called, but now the Frisco, is
still In existence. and is doing service
either in the coal district or in Kansas
City as a switch engine. This engine
has been in existence over 30 years. Its
existence has been prolonged in the
same manner as that of an old woman
who made her stockings last ten years;
one year she knit new feet to them and
the next year she knit new legs. One
year this engine was given a new boiler
and the next a new wheel There is
probably very little of the original No.
4, but it has not yet been thrown in the
scrap pile As long as an engine is of
sufficient value to be repaired its num-
Der is retained, but when 1t is discarded
the number is also discarded and is
never again put into use on that road.
The first engine built for the Memphis
is so light that a big tank of water is
carried on it to give weight.

HOW TO GET RATE.
Formula For Ascertaining How Fast
Train is Moving.

There are two ways of finding the
rate al which train travels. One is to
take the folder giving its schedule for a
certain number Of miles, multiply this
number by so and divide the amount
obtained by the minutes which the fold
er shows are required to make the dis
lance taken. The result Will be the
number Of miles per hour.
A more accurate way for one who is
on the train is to count the number Of
rail Joints the train passes over IN
twenty and one-half seconds, which viii
also give the number of miles the train
is making in one hour BY standing on
the car platform just over the truck a
little practice viii make it easy to count
the joints as the train passes over them
