Improvement In Railroad Corm
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
about introducing an improvement in pas- ;
meager coaches, which, if it Proves success
fur, will add materially - to the comfort, con
venience and safety of railroadt travel.
The improvement is in the arrangement
for heatinethe cars, and consists of stoves
or furnaces, two to a car, bung under the
floorou, either aide, from which pipes or
heaters extend along the floor at the sides.
of the car, covered with registers through"
which the heated air passes. •
_The advantage claimed for this, system is.
that the heat coming in at the bottom
makes the car more comfortable, and that
the temperatnre,can be more easily. regula
ted, and that the furnaces being attached
to the"outside of the car, in. case of accident,'
they are.readily detached and conflagration
is prevented. Twenty-four of these cars
are inconrse of construction at the Compa
ny's shops in Altoona,and are intendedlior.

patties hoStile — to the - new company, and
cautions stockholders against being misled
by their devices. ,
