ITO CHANGE RAILROAD GAUGE
Japanese Roads Are Found to Be
Sadly Behind the Times-Move-
ment on Foot to Rebuild.

When the railroads of Japan were
first planned, the narrow gauge of
feet 6 inches was selected for them,
because it was the cheapest to build
and equip and was thought best suit
ed to the country's narrow highways
and steep grades. Now the 5000 miles
of japanese railroads, all of narrow
gauge, are found to be sadly behind
the times, and movement is on foot
to rebuild them to standard gauge, al
though the cost is estimated at nearly
$45OO0O,OO0. At present the trains are
slow, the fastest expresses making less
than 30 miles an hour, the coaches are
low and narrow, and the sleeping cars
are cramped and inconvenient; while
most of the railroad inventions of 9TH
er nations cannot be used because of
the difference in track gauge and size
of cars. The director of the imperial
railroads favOrs the change, in spite of
the cost, and estimates that the main
TOkaidO line could be converted to
broad gauge in II years.-Popular Me,

NOW USE AUTOMATIC DEVICE
Air and Car Coupler SimpIifies Matter
of Coupling and UncoupIng Cars
Prevents Accidents.

The Pittsburgh railroads are max
ing use of a new form of automatic
air and car coupler which not only
simplifies the matter of coupling and
uncoupling cars, but obviates the
necessity of man standing between
the cars in order to perform this op-
Grafton. In order to insure the COM
fort of the riders it is necessary that
the coupling between street cars
should be very rigid, and it has been
heretofore found difficult to obtain
this rightly in piece Of mechanism
designed to stand the hard usage
which couplers are subjected to. The
present device is so carefully machined
as to insure a perfectly rigid connec-
ton when coupled together, this be-
ing made possible by means Of suit
able joints behind the heads to pro-
vide the necessary vertical and lateral
movement. In spite of the neatuess
of the fit of these parts the couplers
will properly come together and lock,
though they he as much as three
inches out of alignment, and they are
sufficiently flexible to operate where
the car levels may vary as much as
ten inches.-Scientiflc American.
