FOR WEIGHING CARS
PENNSYLVANIA Has a Most
Unique System for This.

Unique among scientific method,
employed by the Pennsylvania railroad
is a scale for weighing cars while III
motion, which has just been installed
at West Brownsville junction, Penn
sylyania. The new ''fifty-two foot
track scale with mechanical hump.
as II is called, has great advantages
over other existing scales.
The increase in weight o: rolling
stock during the last few years has
rendered many track scales incapable
Of sustaining the heavier loads with
out serious errors. Probably the
most ingenious feature of this new
scale is what is called a relieving gear
an arrangement disconnected from tie
track BY reason of this invention the
heaviest engines can pass over the
scale without registering pound S
weight; the disconnection is made
without the least effect en- the bal
ance of the scale. The relieving gear
does away with the bulky supporting
columns that, with the old style scale.
cucumber the vault under the tracks
and prevent proper inspection and
maintenance of the bearings and other
vital parts.
Wind pressure or rnow and ice on
the platform. will not affect the BAL
lance of the new type OF scale adopt
ed by the Pennsylvania railroad; the
surface platform is supported entire
ly independently of the scale mechan-
ism. The design is such that it prac-
tically assures immunity from lreeZ-
ing
The mechanical hump" makes it
possible to regulate the velocity, at
which the cars go on the scale. Ey
raising or lowering the apex of the
hump. the grade down which the cars
run is increased or diminished IA will.
This is important because on different
styles of cars the distance between tie
front and rear wheels varies, and rs
the weight can only be registered dur
ing the interval between the times
when the rear wheels pass On the
scale and the front wheels pass off,
the velocity must vary inverscly with
the length of the wheel base.
The installation of the track scale
which weighs cars while moving is
but one of the many Inventions awaited
of by the Pennsylvania railroad to re-
duce cost of operation.

Wanted It Realistic.

A certain New York theatrical man
ager is noted for the exquisite beauty
of his stage settings. One day. re-
hearsing moonlight scene. he found
fault with the moon. First the moon
was too bright. then it was too dull.
Now its beams were too yellow and
now they were too pale. Finally.
after holding up the rehearsal for
twenty minutes. the manager tore out
in great rage to arrange the moon
himself. On the stage a pause en-
sued. During the pause the leading
lady said YEARLY to the villain:
"Oh. dear. What are We waiting
for now:'
Nothing much" the villain answer
ed The boss wants q real moon,
and he's gone to fetch It, that's all"

The Majors 1ip,

When Major Banks was the best
known figure around the race tracks
Of Cincinnati and the middle west he
was extremely generous in tipping off
his friends to sure winners" One
man who enjoyed his confidence and
played the horses according to the ma
tor's advice lost all his ready money
and finally succeeded in reducing him
self to the point where he had to sell
out his grocery business.
One afternoon. following the placing
OF his last ten dollar note as the major
advised. he caught Banks by the arm
and said tragically:
Major. you've made me lose my last
cent. I'm II pauper. and my wife and
family are practically starving. l am
now about to so down to the river and
drown myself. It's all over for me-"
"All right" answered Banks. but in
the event you change your mind meet
me here at 5 O'Clock tomorrow after
noon. think I'll have something good
for you."-Exchange.
