Steel Railway Cars.

4 steel passenger car has recently
been completed In Pittsburg for the
Southern Railway, which IS regarded
as the beginning of the general use
Of steel instead of wood for all kinds
of railway cars. The car is "a feet
six inches long over all, and weighs
10000 pounds. There was no wood
used in the construction except for
the interior decorations, and that
wood was made fireprOOf. 1t is aid
that the car could not be t~elescOped
in a collision, neither could the ends
be smashed in, and furthermore, it is
nOn-combustible. Two other cars OF
similar nature are under construction.
If generally used, such cars would
greatly reduce the dangers Of railway

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur

and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-

fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fnir play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but NO
name Of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes. all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under r. etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A. r..
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you. for they will
spring into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
HIST Of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant Is not re-
quired to purchase a pkg. These let
ters are not to contain poetry, or fancy
fiourishes. but simple. truthful state
ments of fact. For illustration: A
person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceabIe to
