This isparticularly true in mastering the mys-icrics of mechanical contrivances. Thedifficulty is in knowing the shortest andbest route in the search for informationin regard to the realities that lie hiddenfrom the untutored eye. The young rail-road man encounters many mysterieswhen he enters on his high calling. Heneeds information. He should seek forIt and his desires will be FORTY-TON WELL WAGON car. The girders have a chamber of 2 the centre, so that the top of the high-est flange plate on the upper side of thegirders, at the centre of the car about24^ ins. above rail level. The bulkheads,or upright partitions, which form the endsof the well, are made of braced platesfaced with lY^ in. oak plank. Some of the principal dimensions areas follows: Length, over buflfers, 59 in.; width, over headstocks, 7 ft. 3 length of the well is 32 ft., and itswidth 7 ft. 5 in. The distance from raillevel to the floor of the car at the endsis I ft. ZYi in. There are two four-wheeled trucks or bogies, the centres ofwhich are 44 ft. 9 in. apart. The wheelshave a diameter on tread of 4 ft. 6 in.,.t: d the bogie wheel base is 6 ft. 3 journals, both on inside and outsideof the wheels are 8 in. by 5^/2 ins., thusgiving 16 bearings in all.
