Besides. with electricity. 1t is far easier to proportion the power In the load than 1t is with steam. The average weight of a train is l50 tons' but this is often greatly exceeded. Tne heaviest train run on the New Haven, for instance, weighs 750 tons. An or dinarv sIeeping car weighs 55 tons and when the tide of travel is at the flood the midnight express to Boston Is often made up of ten or twelve cars; a train of 50 loaded freight cars--no uncom- mon sight-would also touch the maxi mum in weight
 with steam power one must either design a locomotive to pull 750 tons and submit to the waste involved in having such a powerful machine draw a third or half a load. or resort to the expe- dient, common in hilly country coun- try. of two engines utilized in a "dou- ble header" to pull heavy trains. Double headers" are abominations to railroad men. They mean tncessant jerks and jars. for the two locomo- tives cannot be run in perfect harmony; a great waste of force since the effec- tivo combined drawing power is far from being the sum of that of each of the separate engines; and. finally, the employment of extra men.
 With electricity all this waste, is avoided. The New Haven's electric engines, with speed of from eighty to ninety miles an hour, will have ''pulr' of 250 tons apiece. When necessary. any number of machines can be cou- pied together and operated as one en- zine by one man. Thus a 750-ton train would require three locomotives. 500- ton train two. and the ordinary light traffic can be drawn by a single engine. The advantages derived from the pos- sibility of combining at will these units of power are obvious.
 Even such minor duties as heating the cars are better performed by the new type of engine. At present the fireman must feed a fire capable not

eHauIed of Fast on Long .Aer- RsiIroa

New York, Nov. 1s.--When the work of rebuilding the Grand Central station here is completed, long step will have been taken toward substituting cleo tricity for steam as the motive power or American railroads. One of the most characteristic features of the new ter minal will be the train-shed with two tiers of tracks, one for suburban and one for through traffic, and as such an arrangement Is impossible with steam locomotives, the two roads which use the station-the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hart ford-are planning to bring their trains into the city by electricity.
 That the New Haven road has already ordered twenty-five electric locomotives as 2 beginning of a new order of things in6 ties to what extent railroad men arc preparing for the change. Of a new type, which Is equally valuable for long distance traffic and for short hauls. these locomotives will mark a new stage in the employment of electricity. Hitherto. though electric locomotives have successfully passed experimental stage their use has been confined, in the main. to places where the problem of

 Patterns are once more the order of the day in table silver What ordi
 narily is called flat" silverware is without ornament or oXidized finish, be- ing edged with what is called a thread line which turns in upon the handle in delicate scroll. French greys and other novelty finishes are conspicuous for their absence and surfaces are burnish- ed to the highest degree of brightness.
 This pertains more particularly to the utility silver. as novelties still come in the French finish. The antique pat terms made by the Germans are in lacy and open work designs and have a love- ly mingling of oxidized work and soft gray finish, the darkening being used in the numerous crevices This attract i've ware, hitherto limited to high pric- ed tea sets and plates, in so far as 1t could be adopted for table use. is now coming in an assortment of odd shap- ed flat pieces as they would be called though practically they are too ornate in their shapes to be really flat They are charming in variety of design ahd are the ideal gift silver, both for beauty and because they can be used for so many things. For instance. there is long handled piece, something between a bowl and dish, which is intended to be set on the table filled with small bonbonS. ana which is passed by those at the table. like one of the old fashioned collection baskets. It can also be used as serv- CT for Saratoga chips because of its wide, shallow bowl, and would not be so bad as a strainer. Another extremely pretty little piece is a short handled | scoop with sharp points, which would be warranted to slip easily under any thing that is refractory.
 The wooden salad forks and spoons are at last made so they look somethins which is the quality sought at least oy the present giver. They are snver mounted at the handles and are used by bachelors with chafing dishes. novelty particularly adapted to den pur- poses is a wooden spoon and fork fas- tened together like a pair of scissors The silver mounting has place for the thumb and finger like scissors nan dle. and the action makes the forH
