INDIA's FAMOUS ROAD.
It Is Called the Most Romantic High
 way In the World

It Is Called the Most Romantic High
 way In the World.
 Every one who has seen it will agree with the New York Sun that the Grand Trunk road of India is by all means the most romantic highway in the world. That paper says of it:
 A stately avenue of three roads in One-the center of hard metal, the roads on each side ankle deep in sill very dust-fringed by double rows of trees. it runs for 1,40O miles through the vast northern plain that skirts the Himalayas, from Calcutta to far Pesha- war, which keeps sentinel at the gate of AfghaniStan.
 From horizon to horizon it stretches like broad white ribbon. as straight aS if traced by a gigantic ruler. And dottcl along the entire length are hun d"cdS of serats (wa yside rest houses) each with its arched and turreted gate way. it's spacious inclosure. where hu mars share shelter with oxen. camelS ard goats. and it's central wS! of spar king water
 For 5000 years the Hin aIayas have looked down on this rOal and have seen 1t us they see 1t today. It has seen a hundred generations Of men come and go score of dynaSties rise and fall. And yet today 1t is to the eye exactly the same as in the long gone time when Nineveh was d proud city and Ou. ancestors gnawed bones in their caves.

OLD FREIGHT CARS.
What They Endure Before They Ar
 Sent to the Scrap Pile.

What They Endure Before They Are
 Sent to tke Scrap Pile.
 An average fIrilht cal costs about $T5U, but the refrigerator aul special cars built for carryiIg perishable goods may cost two or three times that amount. The average freight car weighs about 2S,0O0 pounds and has carrying capacity of G0,OOO pounds of freight.
 There has never been time when the companies had enough freight cars to meet the heavy demands of trade in seasons of unusual prosperity, and. though thousands of new cars are built every year. car famines occur every time the seasons crops are ready to be moved. The number of freight cars that are scrapped each year almost keeps pace with the num- Der of new ones built.
 The scrapping of freight car is one of the fine arts of efficient railroading. A car may go to the repair shop half a dozen times before it iS ready for the scrap pile. Not until the trucks are practically worn out so they cannot be renewed has the railway wanderer passed beytA Il it's life of usefulness. Even then every part of the ironwork is recovered. and such parts that are still useful go into other cars before they are finally scrapped.
 The wooden platform and the boxed in sides are the first to be renewed. and then tHn coupling pins and mech anisn. anl finally the wheels. X freight car will frequently use up two sets of wheels before it is entirely worn out and ready for final demoli- tiOn.-Popular Mcchani"S.
