"When an order is received for a given number of cars it. is accompanied by carefully prepared drawings of every detail and bysr which even enumerate the quantity and quality of screw, nails, bolts, castings, trimmings, which are to be used.

Those unfamiliar with this class of work would be astonished at the elaborate nature of the drawings, many of them of full size, with all dimensions, marked on them so that no mistakes may occur. The specifications aim. to contain a cleir statement of all the materials to be used, their quantity, quality and sizes; and the manner in which they arc to be treated, and built into the proposed cars, is also very carefully described; even the-paint and varnishes are specified, as well as the number of coats or each, and the length of time each coat is to be given to dr Thus it will be seen that a car is first carefully constructed In th mind tf the designer and all details put upon: paper, which serve as a guide to those having the construction in When an order for cars is placed, bills of the materials required are-made in each department 'and patterns for tVe iron and wood work are made, to guide the foremen in laying out their portions of the work. As speedily as possible departments are furnished with the raw or finished materials called for on their bills, of materials with which to make their portions of the car. As an illustration, the wood machine shop gets out.

from the rough lumber the exact, number of pieces of wcoi of every-kind and form called for, and the blacksmith shop gets out the forcings required, the bolt department makes the exact number at bolts ol various kinds needed, and the brass foundry fills its order for the necessary trimmings, which trimmings, when so specified, are taken in. hand by the electro plating department and plated with nickel, silver or gold, as called for. The glass department cuts the glass, etches it, and silvers it when re-j quired, and makes and furnishes all the mirrors.

Cars arc lighted by oil. gas or electricity. If by gas, it is carried in condensed form in tanks underneath-the car, and is conducted to lamps by-suitable piping. Electric lights are derived from storage batteries, and from dynamos run in a baggage car, by steam from the engine. When the inside wood work is all in place, and some of this finish comprises exquisite carving, the inside-painters go over the entire interior wood work, making the car ready for the trimmers, who place the bronzeor plated trimmings upon doors, sash, blinds, and walls.

The upholstering, draperies, scat-coverings, which have all been previously-prepircd, are now put in, and when the finishing touches nre added by the equipment department the car is. ready for delivery to its purchaser, to whom it is sometimes ent by special messenger.
