To those who enjoy statistics the thir-teenth annual report of the PhiladelphiaCar Association will prove has not been a better year than1903 since as far back as 1880. Lastyear 1,837,605 cars were handled, and thisis an increase of more than 13 per cent,over 1902. The average detention, how-ever, has slightly increased. In 1903 thedetention was days per car, while inigo2 cars were detained days percar. The total refunds of 1903 aregreater than those of 1902 by Pcent.

The Louisville & Nashville Railroad,of which Mr. T. H. Curtis is superinten-dent of machinery, have recently increasedtheir motive power with some examplesof very serviceable ten wheel power forpassenger work. The engines were builtat the Baldwin Locomotive Works, andare simple slide valve engines with cylin-ders 20 by 26 ins. The driving wheelsare 67 ins. in diameter, and the enginetruck has 33 in. wheels. All the wheelsare flanged and the valve gear is of theindirect motion type, with transmissionbar made to pass over and also to boltunder the leading driving axle. Thepedestal binders are of the ordinary typewith ends which are stepped down, mak-ing two reduced thickness
