Eio Cut In Expenses.

I've have cut down our fuel con-
sumption on regular train trips ~ per
cent in the last two years, stated the
division superintendent Of one OF the
eastern roads, through g 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. II 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-
orage 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 90 per cent
of the cost Of the fuel saved. In the
course of several hundred trips made
in a year these rewards sometimes
amount to considerable for the men.
They appreciate it, and work accord
ingly."-Sunday Magazine.

Ancient Horse-Drawn Train Service


According to the Engineer, 1t was
only last month that there was brought
to a close a passenger train service
maintained by horse traction, which
has been in continual operation since
the year 1856. The stretch Of line af.
fected Is a portion Of the North British
railroad, lying between Drumburgh
Junction, few miles west of Carlisle,
and Port Carlisle, seaport on the
Solway firth. The line was operated
by locomotives from 1854 to 1856, and
in August of the latter year horses
were substituted. They have been In
continuous use up to the present year,
when they were superseded by steam
omotives.-Scientific American.
