his ki-yis as the wheels ground him
to pieces. But there was not ki-yi.
At the next stop, Ozark, the news

across brake-beam, alive, unscathed
and apparently not at all worried. He
was chased from his position and the

GERMAN EMBASSY BUILDING
Commission From Berlin Arrives In
Capital and lnspects site for
Proposed Palace.

A commission of building, architec.
tural and engineering experts appoint.
ed by the German imperial govern
ment, sanctioned by Emperor William,
has arrived in this city on a mission
to examine the site purchased by the
German government at 1906 s street,
between Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets Northwest, upon which
is to be erected the new palace in
which will be housed the German
embassy and the household Of the
Kaisers representatives to this coun-
try.
The commission consists of Herr
Kettner, privy embassy councillor and
reference councillor in the German for
eign office; R. Saran, superior privy
councillor Of buildings and construc-
tons attached to the department of
public works, and Prof. Peter Beh-
rens, professor of architecture.
The commission infinitely studied
the character of the architecture Of
Washingtons most attractive public
and private buildings, exterior as we'll
as interior, with view to draw plans
for the new embassy buildings which
will be in keeping with it and har-
monize with its surroundings. Al
though the palace will be the most
advanced and best type of German
architecture, 1t Is the plan Of the COM
mission to so modify its German char
acter as to harmonic 1t with the
Washington architectural style. Herr
Kettner said 1t would be a building
representative Of the power, prestige
and dignity of the German empire, and
that the German emperor was taking
a personal interest in the matter.
Herr Saran said he did not believe
that the new ambassadorial palace
would be modelled after the Sans
Souci, one Of the kaiser's palaces at
Potsdam, but that If present plans are
sanctioned by the government the
building would cost "a
great deal of money" and would no
doubt prove welcome addition to
Washington's colony of new diplomat
lie homes.

Leroy place, Just off fashionable Con-

There could be no more fit arbiter

Mr.. and Mrs. Labouisse have with

run them when finished or supply
housekeepers, secretaries and serv-

Speaking of the Jews in India, the
Hebrew Standard says: "The mystery
Of the continued existence OF the
Beni-Israel of India is as great as
ever. It is marvellous to find these
brethren of the house of Israel pre-
serving their religious and racial iden-
tity among the vast multitudes be-
longing to alien ethnic faiths. These
Indian Jews survive in an atmosphere
which is altogether moved by caste,
while they themselves regard caste
as unthinkable for themselves. Like
the Parsees. the followers Of Zoroas-
ter. their numbers are scanty; their
economic importance is considerable. !"

French Railroad Schedules.

When a train gets in the habit of
being late on an American railroad
something drastic is done about it, but
on the state-owned railroads Of
France they have a different plan.
On the Paris-Rouen run the time of
the express trains used to be an
nounced at one hour and forty-f1ve
minutes, but the actual time was two
hours and six minutes. So they re-
arranged the time table to fit that
actual elapsed time. What could be
simpler? And then the traffic man
ager put across another rearrange-
ment. The 7.5O train from Paris got
in the habit of arriving twenty-four
minutes late So the traffic boss
started it thirty-one minutes earlier,
thus getting passengers into Rouen
seven minutes ahead of the time it
used to be officially due.

stands idle about five days for every
one day 1t is in motion.
The average life Of a freight car,
with ordinary wear and tear and occa-
sional trips to the repair shop for the
renewal Of such parts as may have
become defective, is in the neighbor-
hood of eighteen or twenty years, but
there is the possibility of the car be-
ing converted into shapeless mass
before it is a day old
AT the present time there are own
ed and controlled by the railroads Of
the United States 2,735,121 freight
cars, which, according to the last re-
port, carried 9,9OO,1O1 tons during
the year ending June 30, 1911.
A freight car is a great money-earn-
err SO long as 1t is kept on the move,
but from the time it stops rolling un-
til its wheels revolve again 1t is not
paying for the oil used upon it. It is,
therefore, largely upon the managing
and controlling Of these thousands Of
freight cars that the interests Of
railroad are dependent, and the earn
ings of road will be directly proper
tionate to the manner in which the
cars are kept on the move.
As these vast number of cars are
owned by more than 500 companies,
and as each companys cars are by no
means restricted to their home road 1t
is something marvellous how they can
be controlled and accounted for both
individually and collectively. The
methods, however, by which the
freight cars accounts are kept are
SO systematic and accurate that it
is not difficult for any railroad to have
at all times a statement showing the
location of its entire equipment.
If 1t is desired to know the where
abouts of certain car belonging
to a particular road on some
specified date, by calling on the
car accountant of that road the in
formation will be at once forthcom-
ing If need be the contents of the
car can be given, the number of the
train and hour the car left the last
station, the number of the engine
drawing the train, the names of the
train crew, and what cars accompa-
MED it on its journey.
Some roads are even able to tell the
kind of weather the car passed through
while in motion, as well as the hour
of day it was loaded and unloaded.
This array Of figuring does not stop
here, but at the end of every thirty
days the mileage is computed and the
number of miles each car travels is
put down as part of its history. So
there is a complete record Of the move
ments of the car in detail, from its
daily location down to the cost of NOV
ing it over the respective divisions
of the road in whatever service it
should be required.
