One of the most helpful aids to fast
time for long distances is the railroad
dining car. Precluding, as it does, the
necessity Of stopping trains at lunch
and dining stations it conributes naterl-
ally to shortening the time of passage
between distant points, and in that
way it is more helpful than profitable.
This feature of railroading is compare
lively Of recent origin. Probably it is
still in its original stage Of develop
nent, although it is difficult to deter
mine how or where it can be improved.
The railroad, which operates more Of
these cars, as well as more sleeping
and parlor cars, than any other in the
world has twenty-eight dining cars
and eight restaurants, and is now feeC-
ing more than 5000 persons a day.
Each dining car costs $4,000. In
Guiding the food supply constantly en-
hard the company has therefore about
half 4 million dollars invested in the
enterprise of feeding passengers while
they are moving.

The average reader fails, perhaps 10
see any connection between printing
paper and spruce gum, and yet the con-
stantly increasing demand for the
paper has run up the price of the gum
and may, in a few years, make it I'M
obtainable The explanation is in the
fact that the printing papers Of to-day
are largely made Of wood pulp Of
spruce trees, vast forests of which are
found in the New England States and
in Canada. Thousands of the biggest
trees are cut down every year to sup
ply the paper mills with pulp, and it Is
from these big trees that the greatest
quantity and the finest quality Of
spruce gum is obtained. SO that the
gum has gradually become scarcer and
dearer, and the chances are that it will
after a while be held at a prohibitory
price, or not be obtainable at all.

The proverbial conservatism of the
Chinese, by which customs are per-
petuated generation after generation,
finds an odd exposition in the tool steel
used by them. 1t is known in the trade
as bamboo Steel" probably from its
similarity to the bamboo, their favor
lite structural material. From this
bamboo steel, which comes in bars
about an inch square, with rings about
every inch, which project about a ci--
teenth of an inch they make all their
tools. The material is made all over
Europe by firms which cater to the
Chinese trade, a ready sale being
found for their product, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is not nearly as
good quality as commercial tool steels
The Chinaman, however, knows that
his father and great-grandfather used
bamboo steel, and he steadfastly sticks
to it, refusing all other kinds
