ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CARS.

For quarter of century, so ex-

Three tons per wagon is considered

dred-ton steel cars are common on
that line.
But there is another difference that
must be considered, or comDarisons
of this sort come to nothing The
British railways perform the same
service that the ex0ress comnanies do
in this country. The small cars, their
managers say, suit this work better
than our large cars would That. how
ever, is to be doubted; the plea is
quite as likely to be in defense of old
fogydom At any rate some British
lines, notably the Northeastern. have
begun to use cars with capacity of
not less than 60 tons, but it does not
appear that these are for fast freight.
The Northwestern, with SO cars to the
fast train, considers 100 tons a good
train load. This looks like extrava-
CANT handling. Two of the fast
freights from New York carry, in all
probability, as much as the % trains
of the London & Northwestern.

rooster is devotedly attached to his
ponderous foster-mother, according to
dispatch from Winsted, Conn.
Wherever she" goes, there goes the
rooster which, although slightly dis

says, the proudest bird in the Nauga-
tuck valley.
She" or Cozier, has named the
rooster Hank" He went to Tor

1t is not the easiest task in the world
to roll locomotive on a barge, tow it

one of the obstacles met with, as the

miles, or including double track and
sidings, $4,000 miles, says Richard
H. Edwards, in the Review of Re-
views The freight in mile tons has
grown from 39,OOO,000,O0O in 1882 and
10000, 100000 in 1890, to 1S7,000,000,-
600 in 1905, the total for the latter
year being more than twice as great
as for 1S9. The gain of 46,000,000
tons between 1900 and 1905 was very
much larger than the total of 1882,
and nearly two-thirds as great as the
total of 1890. Owing to the more
powerful locomotives and cars, freight
traffic has increased by much great
er percentage than the increase in the
number of cars and locomotives, and
likewise than the increase in mile
age.
On most of our roads we have very
nearly reached the limit of heavier
locomotives and larger cars, for as
these are increased in weight heavier
rails and heavier bridges are made
necessary 1t is really a case of re-
construction and reconstruction and
rebuilding year after year. Yet no
road in a prosperous section seems to
catch up with it's business. The depot
and the rolling stock and the roadbed
built for the present are behind the
times before they are completed.
Great as has been the growth of traf-
fic during the last ten years it must
of necessity be far exceeded by that

of the island railroad But how was
this big, cumbersome engine, to be
transported across to the Key?
The connecting line of grade was
not completed, so that the engine could
be run out over the several smaller
islands and intervening bridges under
its own steam so the only feasible
method seemed to be by a Connie tow
the advantages or disadvantages of
which were discussed pro and con by
the men in charge. 1t was finally de-
cided to experiment. Three parallel
tracks were laid on a huge barge and
this latter backed up to the wharf. also
laid with a track Three fiat cars were
run on each of the two outer tracks on

Every wheel was securely wedged and
blocked the fiat cars acting as a guard
should the engine refuse to submit to
being towed to sea- and, surcharged
with latent indignation, be unable to
restrain itself and decide to leave the
track. Lines were made fast to a
puffy little tug, which, encoura ged by
the cheers of the workmen started off
bravely with her burden, like an ant
tugging at breadcrust, her prov high,
as if to challenge the ocean rollers,
and her taffrail nearly submerged by
the pressure of her tOw-lineS.
After safa voyage, the barge was
beached on the shores Of Key Largo,
steam was generated in the boiler, and
on track laid to receive it, the loco
motive slid from its fastenings to the
scenes of its future labors-the only
engine of its class which ever enjoyed
an ocean excursion.

is generally known among smelling
men that economy OF operation can
be secured only by m1ngling different
