Years ago the standard coach of the Pennsylvania was the model of the car-builders. The new vestt- buled coaches of to-day are as far superior, In alt that makes for comfort, to those of a quarter of a cen- tury ago as the splendid Pullmans of President Mc Kinley’s Transcontinental Special are to their pred cestors of @ Nike period. The new standard coaches of the Pennsyivanta Railroad are the best examples of American car butld- tng. In thelr design and construction no expense has | been spared. ‘The cars are Mfty-three feet eight inches | in length, and are fitted with wide vestibules. The platforms are strongly constructed, and the couplers are of the most approved type. The Interior ts finished in quartered oak, ornamentation {# classed ax Romanesque. The light- colored wood With Its handsomely finished surface lends a brightness which ts Intensified by the high pitch of the roof and the width of the upper deck The headlining. a soft shade of green, conforms well to the general scheme of color. Saloons are introduced at both ends of the car which there are the usual toilet conveniences. saloone are partitioned from the body of th bulkheads ornamented with panels, heavy gr and brass grilles, All the brass work ty artistic, and the shades of the deck tile, plush and carpets har- monize with the gencral decorative effect. The seats are of @ new pattern; their upholstery Is! rich In material and color, and the system of springs on which they are built adds greatly to their com- rary and the The windows are of ample dimensions, and are pro- vided with curtains of a reddish-brown material, of design ecpecially selected for these cars. The move- ment of the curtains ts controlled by fixtures wh permit them to be raised to any desired height. The ¥indows, fitted with spectal fixtures, are so carefully balinced as to be raised by a simple mechanism fixed to the sil When this mechanism {s pressed lightly Bi:h the finger, the sash rises, and stops at any point desired by the passenger, The system of Mghting 1s compressed gas.

The source of heat is steam from the leomotive. Steam ts carried Into each car, passing through radiators, and the condensation returned to tender of the locomotive by means of a vacuum This system permits of perfect regulation of mperature, and by easy manipulation prevents the extremes that are 80 annoying to passengers. The ‘mprovement in ventilation consists in a radical} change from past practice, which drew the cold air Ventilators located in the roof of the car fad distributed It on the heads of passengers, With this syrtem the usual sash in the upper part of the car fe never opened. The cold air {8 admitted through pipes ed at each end of the car, and passed through radiator boxes, which are located near the oor, being heated in its passage before entering the car. This system, therefore, obviates the discomfort of | Jaughts, and insures at all times perfect ventilation. | The \itlated air escapes by natural means through Yentilators placed in the roof. | The exterior flulsh of the car 1s of the usual Penn- ‘yivania Ratlroad standard.
