COLORADO SPRINGS DEPOT.
VIII Be Improved at Expense of sew
eraI Thousand Dollars.

Plans have been made by the officials
Of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific and the Denver & Rio Grande to
enlarge and improve the depot they
use jointly at Colorado Springs. Sew
eral thousand dollars are to be ex-
pended on these improvements. The
proposed changes are to be made be-
cause of the steadily increasing bust
ness transacted at the depot, which
makes the present baggage and ex-
press quarters Inadequate During
the recent c. A. r. convention rush
the baggage rooms at the depot d1 not
begin to hold the thousands of trunks
and boxes which arrived and departed
by every train and it was necessary to
utilize the platforms for this purpose.
When the depot is rearranged the
baggage rooms VIII be moved from the
south to the north end where a big ad-
dition is to be built. This viii leave
the entire south end of the depot to
the express companies. Another
change ate the depot is the transfer of
the depot hotel from ]. J. Grier to the
Rock Island. 1t will be run in con-
junction with the latter's dining car
service.

VENTILATION OF CARS.
Mr.. Taylor Says It's Feasible to Give
Them Good Air.


At a recent meeting of the St. Louis
club Mr.. Ross Taylor, speaking in the
absence of DR.. GassOway of the United
States marine hospital service, on the
subject Of ventilation, said:
g There is nothing new under the
sum- and in the matter of ventilation we
may learn wisdom from the practice
of the ancients. From time immemorial,
in Egypt, air was permitted to enter
through tunnels on the tops of houses
the admission of pure air to force the
foul air out. But in railroad and rail-
way service, in addition to the injector,
as powerful an ejector is required. The
objection to admitting the air at very
low temperature. without heating it,
would lower the temperature in the car,
is easily met. If injected at the top Of
the car, where the temperature is high
est, it can be broken up by interior de-
Electors, so arranged as to direct it to
the roof, and being charged with over
20 per cent of oxygen, it is quickly heat
ed and it gradually descends in the
carr

PASSENGER CARS OF STEEL.
Important Changes in Equipment to
Come in Next Few Years.


Within the next few years the great
est changes in railway equipment in
this country will be, we believe, to-
wards steel cars for passenger service,
says the Railway Journal in its current
issue. The many recent wrecks on
steam roads have forced the railway
arrangements to thinking seriously OF
a better and more substantial car to
withstand the shocks in case of wrecks,
collisions and other accidents. Records
show that most of the losses of life in
collisions are due to the cars being
telescoped and then subsequently
burned. In most every practical point
from which this subject can be viewed,
the all-steel passenger car should
prove superior to the wooden coach,
and its practical assurance of safety to
the passengers should make it a pOpu-
lar one with the travelling public 1t
will be impossible to devise 9, car of
any kind of material that will preclude
the possibility of some form of accident
incidental to sudden jarring in col
Iisions, overturned coaches, etc, but an
all-steel car will guarantee against
telescoping, burning, or total demolish-
ing. This subject is one that is receiv-
ing q great deal of attention and some
important improvements in passenger
car equipment can be expected in the
next few years.
