Great Queen street known as Bos-

RIn Cut In EXPENSES.

Eve have cut down our fuel con-
sumption ON regular train trips 20 per
cent in the last two years" stated the
division superintendent of one of the
eastern roads, through a system Of
penalties and rewards. The average
amount of both fuel and oil we take
for the standard has been worked out
carefully. A maximum of ten per cent
over this amount Is allowed for each
locomotive. If more than this maxi
mum is used the fireman or engineer
or both are fined unless good reasons,
such as delays and accidents, Can be
given. For anything less than the av-
erage used on each trip the engineer
and fireman get credit. If they save
more than ten per cent of the stand
ard amount, they receive 80 per cent
of the cost Of the fuel saved. In the
course of several hundred trips made
in year these rewards sometimes
amount to considerable for the men.
They appreciate It, and work accord
ingly."-Sunday Magazine.

BROKEN RAILS BLAMED
CHIEF CAUSE OF RAILROAD
WRECKS IN LAST TEN WEARS.
H. W. Belnap, Inspector of Safety APP
plances, Recommends an lnVestiea-
ton With Idea Of Finding Means
of Remedying Conditions.

Broken rails have been responsible
for the killing of ITS persons, the in
Turing of 1904, and damage to the ex-
tent of $3,237,793 during the last ten
years, according to report maze 10
the interstate commerce commission
by H. w. Belnap, it's chief inspector or
safety appliances. Belnap recon-
mends a complete investigation of rail-
track and wheel load conditions TOT
the purpose Of determining the enect
thereon of the recent types of locomo-
tives and cars, with their greatly IN
creased wheel loads, and ascertalnlhg
remedy. The report was made IN
connection with an investigation OF a
derailment of passenger train on
the New Haven road on october 20
last, near Westerly, R. l., which re-
suited in the injury Of "A passengers
and three employees.
The report says that the dera1lment
was caused by a defective rail. Chlel
Inspector Belnap points out that there
are thousands of rails in use made at
the same time and under Identical con-
ditions as those whose use had brought
out the defect.
1T is manifestly evident" says MI
Belnap in his report to the cQmmls-
sion, that in this type of rail- failures
there is presented a serious situation
Rail failures of other types have been
the cause of many accidents. To those
elements of danger existing in the past
is now added this type OF failure
shown in the development of interior
assures.
It was intimated that the commits
sion would await the action to be ia,
ken by congress on the Stevens Dill
which has been favorably reported by
the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, and which gives
the commission jurisdiction over the
physical operation Of railroads before
taking any action looking to general
investigation of rail, track, and Wheel
load conditions as recommended.

When it does come to a standstill, it

Replace Wooden Cars With Steel.

All steel carriages are to be used
on the Scottish expresses. 1t is learned
that the North British railroad direc-
torate has recently placed a contract
with Messrs. Cravens of Darnall, Shelf
field, for five restaurant cars and one
open f1rst-class carriage for dining
trains. These six coaches will each
have a length of 65 feet and width of
nine feet, and they will all be built
with steel underframes, while the
body structure, with the single excep-
ton of the internal decorations, will
also be composed entirely of steel. All
ordinary wooden flooring will be re-
placed by fireproof material laid upon
corrugated iron sheets, rendering the
whole exterior of the carriage fire
proof. Electricity will be the illumi-
nant used, and although the cooking
in the kitchens will be by means of
gas, there will be cylinders. having
special valves, which will cut off the
escape of gas should any damage take
place to the gas pipes. This new all
steel rolling stock will be ready for
service towards the end of the current
year

Simplest manner possible. Those of

Here they separate and fall straight
down the front. The ends are finished
with two wide tucks above the hem,

New Brake for Fast Trains.

The American Society of Mechani-
cal Engineers has had demonstrated
a new electro-pneumatic brake, which
makes short stops possible for modern
high-speed limiteds. A train of II
steel passenger cars with a modern
locomotive weighs 1000 tons, is 1000
feet long, and when running at 60
miles an hour possess a momentum
equal to a blast Of dynamite sufficient
to blow the entire train 100 feet into
the air.
In the test of the new brake a train
of u cars was stopped as follows:
From 80 miles an hour, In 200 feet;
from 60 miles an hour, in 1000 feet,

Between these two types stands the

The ruff of ribbon on the hat is

but it will do duty with almost any
of the dresses that are popular for

bou is then artistically sewed over It,
These light wraps, suited to evening
wear all the year round, are made up
in all colors and many fabrics. Soft
silk crepes with embroidered figures
in gold or silver, or raised patterns in
velvet make very handsome ones.
However luxurious and rich the fabric
no one need fear to undertake the
making. 1t is simply a matter Of neat
hand-sewing, and not much of 1t, at
that.
The marabou border is the best pos
sible finish and affords plenty Of
warmth about the throat, where 1t is
needed. These chiffon scarfs, like the
straight, plain scarf, are worn with
one end thrown about the neck when
the weather is cool.
Long wells of the heavier chiffons,
with hemstitched borders, make it
very easy for the home dressmaker
to fashion for herself a little garment
like those described here. And they
are made handsomer by the introduce
ton of old-fashioned fancy stitching
like "cat stitching" or feather stitch
ing" or small "cross-stitch" patterns
in decorative sewing. Nothing Is
more fashionable than these lines of
fancy stitching.

satin and bound with white hemp

made.
