This in-tolerable state of things is due largelyto want of a proper system of runninggoods traffic, and the whole arrange-ments need complete revision, on drasticlines indicated in the report. Fares and rates are too high. Judgedfrom the standpoint of actual moneypayment made they are considerablylower than in England, but taking thecost of construction and working of rail-ways in the two countries the fares andrates in India should be only about one-sixth those charged in England, whereasthis rate is greatly exceeded. The re-duction should be made for passengersby. 18 to 40 per cent., for merchandiseby 30 to 60 per cent., and for coal by40 to 60 per cent. These large reduc-tions could not be made straight away,but considerable reductions are immedi-ately possible. People accustomed from infancy to lieon down feathers, have no idea how harda paving stone is without trying it. —Hard Times. September, lyoj. RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE 435. Fifty MilesMore per Pint. One thing the en-gineer should not forget,and that is that when heuses Dixons Graphitehe uses less oil, and thatthe Graphite doesntcost as much as the oil,and that very littleGraphite is required. Some engineers drawtheir full allowance ofoil and then do not haveenough. This puts youin a bad light with themaster mechanic. A little Dixons Graph-ite will enable you torun farther with less oiland keep your engine inbetter condition. Says a sensible en-gineer : I tind we are making fifty percent, more miles per pint cylinderoil and using only one ounce ofGraphite per cylinder for 2S5 milesrun. If this engineer can dothat, wliat can you notdo with your engine ?Let us send you a sampleto try on your engine. Joseph Dixon Crucible Co. JERSEY CITY. N. J. High Smoke Box Temperature.
