Germany takes the lead with31,335 cars, and England comes next with16,854 cars. The United States is thirdwith io,8og cars, and India has 6,356 carslighted by this gas. It has been appliedto 3,184 locomotives, 3,121 of which are inGermany. Not a single locomotive inthe United States has been provided withthis gas. which is a rather surprising.

Those who continue to cherish theirprejudice against steel ought to read apaper on the Fatigue of Metal inWrought Iron and Steel Forgings, pre-pared by Mr. H. F. J. Porter for a meet-ing of the Franklin Institute, and to beobtained from the Bethlehem Iron Com-pany, Bethlehem, Pa. It is common to hear men who areprejudiced against steel say that it isbrittle and snaps suddenly, while wroughtiron does not, because it is fibrous. Thisis a paradox, for steel cannot be strongerthan iron and more brittle.
