However. apart from that use of the mechanism it. is a very interesting afiair. 0n the 'siding north of the round house, stands the largest car on the Grand Trunk system. Its l’ow-trusâ€" sed steel length is stretched between two 6-wheeled trucks, and it weighs 60_ tons and 80 pounds. So sais the gentleman in charge. He is Mr. A. Wright of Montreal, chief Grand Trunk instructor in the use of the Westinghouse air‘ brakeâ€"the sort that for years has been in use, and has been successfully operated by the engine drivers and other trainmen, But the company aims at more than successful op‘cration. It has decided that the trainmen must understand the mechanical construc- tion of the device, and to assist them to do so, it has sent out this instruction car in charge of Mr. Wright. There is only the one and it will go over the entire system from Portland to Chicago. It vis- its the terminal points, and at these points the trainmcn are given their lessons. and they must learn them, and pass the examination on them. on pain of losing their jobs. The car stays a reasonably long time and employes that cannot then pass ;re laid off iofk until they can. so many a.

It carries the air‘ brake equipment of a train of 211 cars and the entire plant to put it into operation. These brakes instead of lying lengthwise as when on cars, stand on end in a double row along one side of the instruction car. They are 38in painted and coupled up as when in actual use yon a train. A network of red iron tubing is spread across the car ceiling. This is used to teach the air signals in vogue 0n the railway. Sections of valves and parts of the mechanism in steel and polished brass stand about the car. and these together with colored charts and the words of the instrucâ€" tor make it difficult for a trainman not to get the idea. Still some of them do not find it easy. “Some of our best drivers who have been us- ing the brake successfully for years have a hard time passing the exam- ination,” said Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright is a young man, but a practical locomotive driver. who was at the throttle for 8 years. He has been out with the instruction car for three years, but is not near- UNDSAY, iflURSDAY.

STOPPINGATBAIN A sample of his talk to the men is as follows, and is not without interest to. other people : “To bring a passenger train to a standstill properly is quite an m. If you wait until you get near a station be- fore applying the air brake and keep it on till the train stops the pres- sure will tilt the car trucks up, and '4 trucks will right themselves and shoot the car backward. As a result the passengers get an uncomfortable jolt ‘iorward. The proper way is to apply the brakes twice : first when some distance away from the sta- tion. When the speed has been rt:h Educul to 6 or 7 miles an hour, re- ‘lease them. When quite near the .station apply again and just’ before {the train stops, release again That will give the trucks 8. chance to right themselves while the train is in motion and the stop will be {made With no jolt. When sanding the track before us- ing the brake, be sure and let the whole length of the train come onto the sand before applying the brake. Then the wheels will have all picked up the sand and the brake will apply on their sanded surfaces. It you put, on the brake too soon, it will grip the wheels of the rear cars before they strike the and, which will not get between them and the brake : they will simply skid on it and be badly cut on the side of cantact." These instructions were among Commissioner (“when Tells. in Yearly Reno t What ill I [own Is Doing la I'thc works The first concrete sidewalks were put. down in Lindsay in 1899. Some of the first were constructed by day labor, but. this year (1902) all have been put. down by contract, for 13: cents a square foot.

This year the higher price of labor has increased the cost of walks. The construction of ten miles of concrete walks is contemplated for 1903. No planks walks are being laid as the initial cost is about six cents a square foot, and the life. with extensive repairs, is not more than ten years. The greater per- manency of concrete has influenced the council to adopt the policy that no more plank walks will be laid.
