Annual statistics Elvlng tho total in crease by American railroads of tho supply of rnotlvo power and rolling stock, or, col Iccttvoly speaking, of the freight haullug facilities, offer coraploto dotalls as to tho xact number of engines and cars that have been added to tho working capacity, but they contain absolutely no, rofcrenco to what Is by far tho moat wonderful feature of this advance This Is the great lncrcaso In the abilities of tho units themselves, as regards cars, In their carrying capacities, with engines.

GRIP capablo of hauling up a grade of thirty-five feet to tho mile a weight of l.SOO tons. Fifteen yoars ago tho best locomottvoa built could handle but 700 tons up a similar grade. nulla of Comparison. Theso figures do not Include the weight of tho engines themsolves, referring ex clusively to that behind them, so they do not represent tho actual hauling powers of the two styles of locomotives. The cn glnos used for this calculation aro neither of them compound. The one of fifteen years ago had four pairs of driving wheels, which wore sixty-two Inches In diameter. It carried a weight of 02,000 pounds on theso drivers, and weighed 99,000' pounds over all. It was of tho American typo and bore the well-known diamond smoke stack, which has not yet entlroly disap peared from railroad equipment of this sort. The locomotive of today Is a con solidation engine, with the samo number of drivers, which aro exactly tho same slzo as thoso ot the other monster, but It weighs 165,000 pounds on Its drlvors and 200,000 pounds over all. So this typo Is In reality pulling 1,900 tons up that hill In stead ot 1.S00, Simple, but absolute and accurate form ulas, are used bjtho mechanical engineers ot railroads to determlue what weights their engines will handle This weight Is computed by dividing tho tractlvo power of tho locomotive by the resistance per ton of tho train. To ascertain tho former fac tor tboro Is but ono Invlolablo formula, tractlvo power being tho sarao under all conditions. Hut with resistances grades must bo taken into consideration, so there aro two processes. Computing KflTectlve Force. The resistance por ton of trains on love! ground Is universally attained by D. K. Clark's formula, which divides tho velocity squared by a constant, 191.5, and adds an other constant, 7.2. The result Is tho re sistance, On grades tho co-cfllclent of re sistance is added to tho natural slno ot the angle of Inclination ot tho grade and this sum Is multiplied by 2,000 to give the power required to haul that number ot pounds. Of tho four numerical factors which are used In computing tho tractlvo powers ot engines tho locomotlvo of today differs from that ot fifteen years ago In just two. Tho cylinder diameter squared multiplied by the moan effective bollor pressuro In pbunds, multiplied by the stroko of tho piston In Inches and divided by the diam eter ot the driving whools In inches, gives this tractive power. The stroko and the diameter of tho driver In tho now engine are the same as In the old, but the cylinder diameter and tho boiler pressuro havo been Increased. With them also has of neces sity increased tho weight of the engine. In order to prevent Its slipping under tho enormous nddltlon to the load. This ad heslvo power Is an essential to hauling power and must Incroaeo with It. Nowa days from a quarter to a fifth ot the en tire weight on the drivers Is calculated to be utilized for adhesion, tho exact, amount vurylog with different conditions of track sud rolling stock. Today It Is entlroly the severity of the grades to bo encountered upon a run that dotermluo tho weight of a train that can bo hauled over it by a given engine.' Wore there only level tracks to consider tho power would bo almost unlimited, for these new engines can, in sober truth, pull any thing you can put behind thora that will stay togothcr. As long as couplings and trucking will stand tho strain tho engine can haul the load. Cars may bo added at will, and the couplIngwlll give way before ,the locomotive Is stalled. A train cannot bo built strong enough to be too heavy tor an englno to pull over level trackage Some Sample Trnlnn. Proofs of this statement may be found In 'tho tact that engines of the typo which can haul 1,800 tons on a thlrty-llvo-foot grado can and do pull C.000 tons on tho level. It Is a fact that on pralrlo divisions of many railroads today trains of that enor mous weight are being run. In Nebraska no longer than two weeks ago a train of elghty-flve loaded cars was pulled from South Omaha to Grand Island by one of theso engines. That train was 3,400 foot In length, which Is two-thirds ot a mile, and It weighed at a conservative estlmato 3,500 tons. A few days since, that tlmo 100 empty freight cars wero similarly handled by another ot theso new model locomo tives. This comprised n string at cars which was not quite a mile In length, but the only reason moro wero not added was that thero woro no others on hand Just thon to go out. Tho engino could have hauled fifty moro with caso, and 100 more If the couplings would havo stood tho strain. Trains a mllo In length aro not an Impossibility, but nn Impracticability. Speed n Great Factor. It must bo remembered, however, that this enormous hauling capacity of 1,800 tons Is calculated upon a slow rate ot speed. This Item of velocity Is ono of tho greatest Importance In matters of mottvo power, as bolng a vital factor In tho re sistance of a train. Tho fact that tho ve locity Is squared In tho formula for ascer taining resistance, makes oven a slight In crease In It ot great Importance, and bearing on tho hauling forco ot tho engine, as the change In tho resistance is correspondingly many times greater. So it is easier to haul ono train nt thirty miles an hour than another only half ns heavy at forty miles. In short, It Is impossible to pull these enormous freight trains at high speed, and that point brings In Issue ono of the (In teresting features of tho progress in rail roading. This is the fact that tho speed of freight trains has not been materially Increased In the last fifteen years. Im provement In that department has been left to tho passenger traffic. Tho great expense involved has been the item that has mili tated chiefly against any general adoption of fast freight service. It costs much more per ton mllo to run them fast than slow, and each additional unit of speed costs more than the last. Finally, thero are hut two classes of frolght that require, fast runs, so the rest of It Is taken at the gait that Is best for the railroads. Livestock and perishable gpods, which tho cold or heat will affect, however, aro run fast, and that Is tho reason why ono novcr bccs a vory large train of either class of freight. In order to make that speed tht weight must bo cut down. This makes tho freighting vory expensive, comparatively, and though tho rates aro higher, shipping this class of proporty Is less remunerative than handling that which can bo token slowly and there fore in larger tralnloads. Welitht nnil Proportion.. Though tho freight onglnes havo mora, than doubled In weight In the lost fifteen yoars, their lncrcaso In proportions has not been correspondingly large. Contrary to tho public bollof, tho hugo driving wheel Is not a recent affair. Forty years ago many eastern railroads had engines equipped with drivers as largo as seventy-two inches in dlamoter, and that is still largo today, bolng ten Inches bigger than tho slzo In general uso on freight locomotives. In passonger engines, It is true, tho typo has undorgono a considerable Increase In di mensions, but this Is for speed only. It is frolght cars that havo really ex perienced tho greatest development In nc tual size ns woll as carrying capacity. Fifteen years ago, when a ynrdraaster was calculating how long a train no couiu run onto a certain siding, ho allowed twenty olght feet for each car. Today he allows forty foot. That car of 1887 would, If it was unusually Inrge, havo been capablo of accommodating twenty tons of lading. Now fifty-ton cars aro common, whllo a largo proportion or tho new ones being put out aro sixty-ton capacity. Cnpiirlty ot Freljilit Cnm. So marked Is this increase In tho carry ing capacity of cars that it bus attracted considerable attention from railroad au thorities, and a Btrong sentiment Is arising questioning tho advisability of making this feature so Important. With a largo pro portion of tho freight trnlllo this capacity can never bo utilized to tho 'full. Grain, coal, atone, sand, ores and similar lading, It Is truo, can bo loaded to tho limit, but not so with fruit, furniture, shoes and hun dreds of other articles, to put cvon twenty tons of which In' tho cars thero Is not room. Such lading could bo carried ns well in cars ot fifteen tons capacity as of fifty. It Is not yet practicable to Increase tho size of box cars, so with nil theso com modities that occupy much room for llttlo weight the cubic capacity of tho car will continue to bo the limit ot lading, not tho capacity In tons. On tho whole, however, constant changes ot lading would seem to arguo tho advisability of having all cars largo enough to carry a full load of nny ihlng rather than so small that they could not accommodate forty or sixty tons of solid lading when desired, Evolution In Construction. Tho construction of freight cars has suf fered great changes. Fifteen years ago they were all wood, box, trucking, every thing save ho very wheels and axles. Now they aro practically all stcol. On a box car only the box Is wood, on a flat car only the floor. Tho underpinning Is all steel, Coal cars aro now steel throughout. It was found necessary to wire bourds to tho sides of theso now cars In order to havo a place on which to tack signs and desti nation cards. A discussion ot passonger equipment has been omitted, and purposoly so. Although great strides have been mado in this de partment of tho traffic ns well, they havo been chiefly toward speed and not with a view to Increasing to any great extent tho rnotlvo power. Tho passenger engines nro tho blggost and strongest built today, somo of tho recent ones weighing 300,000 pounds over all and having drivers eighty-four Inches and a traction In diameter. Yet tho Immcnso power resulting Is devoted to velocity. Weight of Pnnndiucr ttnglnr.. Not a passenger englno on tho road to day has over bocn taxed to Its hauling power while In that branch of tho sorv Ice. Thero nro very few Instances during a year In which a passenger train of 1,000 tons weight Is hauled behind a single en gine. Tho avcrago oven In theso days ot massive coaches and long trains Is about COO tons. Tho enrs themselves aro heavy enough, Tho now slcoplng cars weigh 110, 000 pounds and tho coaches and mall and bnggngo cars grade down to make tho aver ago on a train about 85,000 pounds. But Just ns with tholr engines, theso cars nro never taxed to tholr capacity. All pas songer cars aro built superlatively strong. If thoy over got Into them within a tenth of tho weight they could stand It Is un usual. Seventy people Is n conch load, and that Is a moro fly on tho .Ferris wheol to a modern pitsscngor car. But passenger speed has certainly In creased greatly. Ilound-house gossip ot short clips at a ulncty-mtlo gait, cover certain good bits of road are now common, nnd In fifteen years' time schedules bo twecn tho east nnd west havo been altered boyond recognition. Savo tlmo! That Is tho ono cry, and as soon as there Is any danger of a monster englno gottlng half n load behind It another Is added to It, and all for time's sake. has several small children, nnd It pleases him to discourse, a great deal on tho train ing ot tho young.
