use Powdered Coal.

Some of the big railroads have been using powdered coal with very satis- factory results. The coal, finely pow dered and dried. is stored in recep- tacles from which it is blown into the firebox in jets by air pressure, much the same as oil fuel is used. The dry powder Is converted into gas almost lnstantaneously, tho temperature of the flrebox is not lowered and the objectionable heavy black smoke is obviated. This method is also more economical of fuel than ordinary fir ing and materially lessens the labor of stoking.

Trains to Scoop Passengers On.
 The Pennsylvania railroad has adopted device to aid belated pas sengers.
 The new arrangement is attached to the steps of cars, and is a continua- tion of the trap door. It bridges the space between the train and the plat form, so that there can be no conceiv- able reason for any one getting his foot caught in the small opening or of any person slipping through.
 The belated passengers seeing the extensible still out, runs, jumps on 1t, and, as the conductor gives the start ing signal, the contrivanco gathers him up and folds him neatly into the vestibule.
