BUILD STEEL CARS
IMPORTANT ADVANCE MADE By
THE HARTMAN LINES.
All Passenger and Freight Equipment
in the Near Future, Will Be
of This Construction
Economy in Plans.

The management of the Hartman
lines, after experiments extending
through a long period, have adopted
steel for the construction OF all pas
senger equipment, Of all box cars and
of other cars which will permit of such
construction.
With view to trying out the plans
which have been made for passenger
coaches, for mail cars and for freight
cars. the Hartman lines are having
constructed in the Sacramento shops
under the supervision of Julius
Kruttchnitt, director of operation and
maintenance, a model car of each kind,
with a view to ascertaining whether
the plans for the construction are the
best, and will work out as the manage
ment believes they will. When the
plans are proved by the construction
of the model cars, these plans will be
adopted as standard, and the Harri-
man lines will then build all their cars
with steel frames
In the case of the freight cars, or
box cars, the company is constructing
them almost entirely of steel, the floors
being of this material.
The action of the Hartman lines
management In adopting steel so thor
oughly and completely for equipment
is of more Importance than appears at
first glance. Some years ago the COM
pany began building steel underframes
in freight equipment, which reduced
the weight of box car from about
$4,000 pounds to Al 900 pounds. Steel
construction throughout will further
reduce the weight of the car between
5000 and 1000 pounds. In train of
80 freight cars this would mean saw
ing of between rs and 100 tons, or that
amount added to the possible train
load. This increase in train-load pos
sibilities, together with the indestruc
tibility of the cars, the cheapness of
their repair and of the maintenance,
which is fully so per cent. over the
wooden cars, means a tremendous to-
tai saving to the Hartman lines.
Still another saving that will be eff
fected by the use of steel Is in the
way of lessened loss and damage from
wrecks. The loss of property is very
much less, as are the casualties, where
cars of entirely steel frames are used.
In the latter cars the combustibe ma
terial Is reduced to a minimum, and
fires would rarely follow wrecks. With
a view to showing the possibilities in
wrecks, the management had photo
graphs taken of steel cars which were
bent and twisted so that they looked
utterly worthless. Photographs Of the
same cars were taken after an expen.
diture of 5000 upon them, showing
them practically as good as new.

The fascination of chess, however,

Railroads as CiYilizers.

The railroads continue to get in
their work as civilizers. Those of
South Africa, to build which cost
Sl25,OO0,O00, are reported as doing a
rushing and profitable business. The
wise policy of the English, now in
control there, is to open up the coun.
try to trade and agriculture, and the
results are increasingly satisfactory.
1t Will be some time before the Cape

but connecting links are multiplying,
and the dark continent" is coming
into closer commercial contact with
the outside world and thus getting en-
hghtenment and prosperity. And due
credit should be given to the railway
for what it is accomplishing in this
direction.

Engines Without Drivers.

Germany possesses a miniature but
most useful railway, of which the chief
popularity is that it's trains have no
drivers. 1t is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Saassfurt. The
trains consists of 80 trucks, each car
rylng half ton of salt. The engines
are electric, Of 24-horse power each.
AS the train approaches a station, of
which there are five along the line, 1t
automatically rings bell, and the
station attendant turns a switch to
receive it. He is able to stop it at
any moment. To start it again he
stands on the locomotive, switches
the current, and then descends before
the engine has gained speed.
