THE AMBULANCE CAR
Useful New Feature In German
Railway Equipment.
Wrecks Along Any Part of Govern
mcnt Lines Cnn BE Reached i'm
10 Minutcs-ReIief Trains
at IL stations,

There may be more luxurious and
Germany leads the American railways
in one particular--a perfect ambulance
system, by which quick relief can be
afforded to the injured In disasters on
the rail.
In report submitted by the minister
Of public works It Is shown that the or.
ganlzation of the ambulance service, es-
tabished upon the recommendation Of
Emperor William on all German gov
ernmental railroad lines, has been com
pleted. Relief trains are now In instant
readiness at II stations, so situated that
any place where a serious accident may
occur can be reached by an ambulance
train within 45 minutes. They possess
the highest speed possible and have
the right of way along every line.
The trains consist of a physicians
car a wrecking car of the type that has
been in use for many years, and coaches
for the transportation of assistants and
the accommodation of the wounded
The physicians cars have only two
axles and double doors at the front
sides They are equipped with West.
inghouse brake. steamheatlng appara-
tus and two gasometers, so that enough
light may be secured and the car heat
ed by gas, in case the engine is de.
tached from the car. To facilitate the
receiving of the stretchers the platform
railngs are hinged and a sort OF step
ladder is added.
The interior of the car is divided into
a small compartment for the use of the
physician and larger one for the re-
ceptlon of the patients. The latter room
can be divided by a curtain, so that

modated at the same time. There are
large windows and a skyllght of wire
glass in the physicians room, an oper-
ating table, an apparatus for the heat
ing of water, a closet for bandages and
instruments, refrigerator and large
assortment Of surgical instruments.
The folding and adjustable operating
table has detachable cushions. and both
table and cushion are covered with wa
terproof leather cloth. The water heat
er, a few seconds after the gas is light
ed, furnishes continuous stream of
warm water. Distilled water is in the
water box Of the heater in several cans
and a special barrel containing 20 gal
Ions.
In the patients room there are two
lower and two upper beds on every side,
each bed consisting of a stretcher with
a mattress and head rest, two wooden
quilts with linen covers and linen sheets.
In order to allow the patient to raise
himself braided straps hang on the
walls and from the ceiling of the car.
In addition to the beds two chairs are
in the car for those whose injuries are
slight, so that at least ten patients can
be accommodated in the physicians
car. The stretchers are made from ma
plewood, strengthened with handirons
turned at the ends into handles, so that
they may also serve for putting the
stretcher upon the frames In the car
The frames are arranged with springs
and rolls, so that the wounded will not
the cars.
The physicians, officers and assistants
of the ambulance trains must be ready
for work at a moments notice and it is
the duty of special officer to see that
the cars and their equipments are al
ways ready for use.
When an accident occurs the conduc-
tor of a train or another train man
sends word to the nearest hagman, in
whose booth there is a telephone. Ar
rows painted upon telegraph poles along
the line indicate the location of the
booths, which arc marked with a T
(telegraph), from where the message
may be sent to the next station. AS
soon as the character of the accident
has been learned the physicians and as
sistants are called, fresh water secured
and refreshments taken aboard for pa
tients as we'll as for the crew. Warm
clothing Is taken along also In the
meantime the time table has been fixed
so that the line is clear for the relief
train, and If the accident is of a more
serious character two or more are or
dered from the next station. The ar
rangements are so perfect that the am
balances succeed in getting away in a
short time.

SUPPORT FOR BERRY BUSHES.

down. There is probably no easier
way to give them some protecting
support than by driving little stake
in each hill and tying the canes to It,
My red raspberries are supported by a
line of Stats on each side, the two lines
being about foot apart and three
feet high. The raspberry and black
berry bushes on the New York ex-
pertinent station grounds are nicely
supported by still simpler and cheap
er device. A stout stake is driven
firmly into the ground at the end Of
each of the rather short rows. and
provided with a strong cross-arm, say
about two feet from the ground. A
stout wire is then stretched from arm
10 arm on each side, and 1t seems to
hold the bushes up very well.-Farm
