New Equipment for the Rock Island

1t has been announced that to provide
for the increased volume of traffic ON
Rock Island lines, large amount of new
equipment will be delivered. during the
month of March, on orders placed several
months ago. 1t is Indicative of the IN.
dustrial and commercial prosperity or
Rock Island states that, even before the
receipt of the new equipment, it has been
found necessary to place another large or
der for delivery in the early summer.
The rolling stock which will be placed
in service this month includes 20 new
pattern passenger cars from the Pullman
shops, which embody so many comfort
contributing devices that they make a
distinct advance in day passenger equip
ment. Ten of the cars will be 70-foot
chair cars, furnished with Ga twin reclin-
ing chairs, seating as many people. The
cars are equipped for lighting both BY
Pintsch gas and electricity and are fitted
with electric fans, for ventilation and
cooling.
The other ten cars are 70-foot vesti-
buled coaches, with seating capacity for
so. The seats are upholstered in maroon
plush, otherwise the decorations are the
same as in the chair cars. All the cars
have very large double plate glass win
dows and are equipped with Pullman
standard six-wheel trucks.
An order is also in for over 1000 freight
cars of various kinds.

ing March Is new locomotives OF various
kinds, including 2 Pacific type passenger,
10 Atlantic type passenger, 10 freight and
20 switch engines. An additional order
for so locomotives will be placed in the
near future, for delivery in the summer.
This new equipment, which is to be
added to from time to time, places the
Rock Island in the front rank among
| xyoctorp ailroads in tho matter of trans
portation facilities The foresight mani
tested in thus meeting, and adequately
providing for, the exigencies of increased
traffic, is characteristic of the progressive
policy of the Rock Island management.

WAYS OF THE PERSIAN.

The Queer Houses and the WAGER
supply of Yezd.
Persia, Is mostly desert, but desert I'm
Persia Is Of many kinds. The ordi-
nary desert is good soil and where It
can be watered is extremely fertile.
Generally it has a hard but rather
gravelly surface. The Gases are not
really very different in character from
the desert, however, according to the
Rev. Napier Malcolm, in his book Five
Years In a Persian Town." Water
Is brought from the mountains in q
most curious manner. 1t is found
near the hills at depths varying
from sixty to a hundred yards be-
low the surface. "From the hills to
the center of the plain" says Mr..
Malcolm, "there is a considerable
though very gradual declivity, so when
the original shaft has been sunk and
water found, perhaps at 800 feet be-
low the surface, a long line of similar
shafts is sunk toward the center Of
the plain at distances varying from
twenty to forty yards, the line some
times stretching for more than forty
miles until point Of desert has been
reached that lies as deep down as the
original water level. Then all the
shafts are connected at the bottom by
burrows just big enough to afford
passage to a man; the water is let in
and appears in an open ditch in the
center Of the desert"
Houses that are not very new are al
ways more or less tumble down, but no
man wants his house to last forever.
Nobody can realize the damage that
can be done in a town like Yezd by
a really wet day." says the same
writer. "Some while ago we had
twenty four hours Of rain, which de-
stroyed, l believe, about couple Of
hundred roofs and, what is worse,
caused the older aqueduct pits to fall
in, blocking the water supply In some
parts of the town for three months.
Is there any other town in the world
where q little extra rain causes a three
months drought? There is a story
in Teheran about a Dutch ambassador
who was so afraid Of the roof falling
that in wet weather he invariably slept
under the table. However, he was a
very tall man, and when the catastro-
phe happened he got his foot crushed"
In Yezd houses are built only for pro-
lection against heat. In winter the
citizens grin and bear It," the mer-
chants close their offices and stay at
home, and only the smaller tradesmen
and artisans go to the bazaars. The
heating arrangement consists of
wooden stool under which a charcoal
brazier is placed. Over stool and
brazier a heap Of rugs and quilts Is
placed, and the family tuck their legs
under the wraps, squatting on the floor.
