7 An Intricate Problem.

Did you ever stop to think what an in-
tricate. what an endless job it must be
to keep track of the thousands on the
back or thousands of freight cars belong-
ill; to any one of the great railroad lines
of the country? If you will remember

"the fact that every freight train is made

up of cars from several lines. you will
understand at once that of all the do
partmqnts of railroad administration the
one mentionEdpust be among the most
dlmcnlt and perplexing

Al’s Glitter of fact. so true Is this that
it takes from 30 to l '10 clerks on each of
the main trunk lines of the United
States to keep the records of the jour-

' neyings to and fro of the cars belonging

to the company. and, not withstanding
the care and money devoted to keeping
them accurately. so loose is the manage-
ment of scum of the read: 111 other de-
partmente that our families are not at
Illinfreqnent notwithstanding the fact
that the rising of 1.,000 000 freight cars
in commission is more than sufficient
in number to d0.tl1e railroad business of
the country even at times when business
is briekeet and the, demand for cars is
heaviest. _

The greatest inconvmiience is entitled
by remissness o the part of roads in re
turning cars l from connecting lines,
and naturally it is the short “cross" lines
that are the greatest offenders in this par-
ticular. Often. indeed. the short lines
have practically no freight equipment
of their own and transport their local
freight almost if not entirely in such
can as fall into their clutches. By a
general arrangement. however, the roads
owning such care are paid a regular
mileage rate for the use of the care, and
so if they are used during their absence
from home the owning linoisnot sheavy
loser. But when the cars are leftidle on
sidings. awaiting the motion of the cou-
signees of the goods with which theysre
loaded. there is no cs‘h return for the
detention. and sometimes this entails a
heavy money loss. with no compensating
advantages to any one but the consignees
whose convenience is consulted.

Two or three years ago a general re-
form in this matter was instituted. arule
being made at that time that all delays
of over 48 hoursiu unloading freight cars
should be paid for by consignee-s at the
rate of .i a day for each car. As long
as this rule who maintained all round it.
woiked excellently, and for a brief pe-
riod the roads did not suffer from too
little rolling stock. But in a short time
first one road and then another began
the objectionable practice of rebsting
the "demurrage” charges. as they were
called. Not long after the ruling fell into
dunetude. and in consequence more than
coerced is now forced to own from 20
to 80 percent more care than it could
podbly have nsefor if they were always
promptly returned. The evil is a serious
one to railroad managers. and there is
but one way. so experts say. to over-cm

For many years the United States has
had one or more ships constantly patrol-
ling the Atlantic ocean in search of dere-

When found, these menaoes tothe safety

otherwise destroyed. It is a sign of

The mysterious increase in the size of
sardines that has puzzled so many
lovers of that variety of fish is account-
ed for by the discovery that menhaden
are often transformed into sardines by
the simple process of sealing them up in
tin‘ cans bearing the proper label.

It ought to be gratifying to the pride
of every patriotic American Christian to
know that it is a countryman of ours
who has secured permission from the
Ottoman wvernnient to make more ex-
tensive excavations about Jerusalem
than have been made by any preceding
investigator. The man to whom has
been granted this privilege is named
Frederick Bliss. and he may examine
anything he chooses and dig where he
pleases providing he disturbs no Moslem
relics or holy places.

A publication in New York does not
space out between words to make the
lines all of the same length. but puts
whatever space is needed at the ends of
the lines, giving the columns the same
appearance as matter; printed by a
typewriter. where there can be no such
spacing. The editor says it saves time,
that the result does not od'end the eye.
and thafilt does not impair the legibili-

It is not improbable that a closer
friemiahip will ex’st in the near future
between the sister cities of Norwalk,
South Norwaik and Stamford. as the
uniting of dilferent families through the
bonds of matrimony unset help but
make a closer afllnity between the local-
ities. The young men of Btamfoni who
arachamed by Norwsik's young ladies
are more than balanced by the larger es-
oess of Norwalk's young men who are
captivated by the handsome and refined
womanhood of this city. On Wednesc
day evening an observer at either sta-
tion will see the well-dressed young
men with s nowhexpectant and far.

the respective abodes of their oharnters.

fast through freight trains between New
York and Boston. The new system con-
sists of regularly scheduled trains. The
first of these left New York Tuesday at. 3

Compulsory facet-anon.

Judge Shnmway, in the Superior
Court. yesterday, rendered two decisions
in favor of the New Britain school board,
in the suit to compel them to admit un-
vaccinated children to the public schools.
The judge finds that the law giving the
school board authority toorder allrschool

not vaccinated from the schools." is con-
stitutional. The complainants will prob-
ably carry the case to the Supreme
Court.
