CLOSES AH IS pir IVoada Welffbed Qotcklr and Without Unloadlna Toplta of I tereat to the Railroad People Note and Personals Indianapolis once more is to the front wth an invention that will make her name 'known, still better wherever there are railway The enlv scale that can be at tached to a.car and give the weight of the icar'a eontcnta within a fw.

pounds! has invented by an'Indiahapolis tnanand the factory to make will be located herei The publid and. even the interested stock holder can form but a faint idea the losss caused each "year by the overloading of freight cars. It i not merely that the railway company seaires no return for the extra weight hanled, often amounting to 10 per ent of the total iosjd, bat overloaded 'cars often break down in transit, wreck tbe trains of which they form a part and perhaps cause loss ef human life as well as of property. This accident has ia turn prevented other trains front. moving, and thus caused delay and farther damagea.

In a circular recentlv iaaoed by one ol tbe trunk instructions were given to the subordinate freight otheiela not to make any change in the weight originally entered on a bill of lading unless the actual overload exceeded one thousand pounds. la other great railway company has found the overloading of freight cars to be so universal and tbe necessary changea on bills of lading so numeroua thai proper correctiona" could only be se en ried tbrourh toe maintenance ot a large additional force in the auditor's depart ment; anothee toree that had to be constantly increased owing to the growth of tbis evil in railway tram a. Again, it was found to be a matter ef prudence as well a of economy, especially where competing lines existed, to adopt a method tbat wonld tend to conciliate rather than antagonize tne teeungs oi tne sninper. Until the present tithe nothing has been found will remedy! this evil and save money to tbe Ireignt department of a rail road. But it is believed; new that the riddle is solved by the anaoiakar Car scale Com pany, of tbis city, which to day makes an exhibit of its car scale: It is a simple but elective piece of A car was) built for company; to which1 the scale was attached, and this morning it warplaced on a switch at Tennessee street where a number of railroad men examined Iti After a week here the ear will be taken, to Chicago and hibited there and then over the country at the important raiiroadpointe.

Tbe scale is a device attached to the underside of the body or platform of th freight car, is balanced by tbe car bddy snd weighs only the contents of the car. it requires about two minutes to lift a car from its truck and get the accu rate weigflt oi tbe load. 1 he eost is slight, and the makers claim that it will save its cost many times over in a year. The Cab re herewith is ia position for weighing, the body of the car being lifted bv by ariuno jeexs, leaving the weight ou the levers. The scale is composed of a system of compound leverf.

In. tbe illustra tion A A are cross sec tions of the track bol sersjB the main lev ers; the second' lev ers; the third lever, which ia composed of shaft having four' short arms snd oe long arm, placed across tne car near the center: the scale beam, inclosed, along with a small force pnmp and tank of oil, In a box' at one side ef the car near themiddle; the hydraulic cylinders bolted to tbe aula of the car, and fitted with the pistons the upper, ends of these pistons iorm oearings tor toe levers OO snpporU aind bearings for. tbe lev ers Bi bol ted' to the wills of the ear. All, the levers of the scale) are fitted with 'hardened steel i knife edgeel which, when weighing, rest on hard bearings. Tbe opera tion of the scale is as follows, the parts being in position aa By working the pump, oil is foreed throuphf tbe pipes into the cylinders raising the pistons and with them tbe levers 7 levers are eon.

neeted by the links II to the long1 arms of the levers B. As these are raised the knife edges fa the short arms of tbe levers come into eon taerwith the plates ea 1 tbe bolsters A. Contin uing the upward motion second knife edges onxhe levers a come in to contact with bearings ia the rawer eads of the sUncfardVQjthe farther motion efNihe levers raises the cai off the tracks; the dabvnee It ia raised being limited. by stops in the cylinders tbe long ana of the levers is con nected by the links I to one of short arms ef the lever Dwhich is raised to its bearings' in the standards tbe long arm of the lever is connected by tbe link JI to the scale beam tikes its bearing in the standard attached to the under side of the top of ihe scale box. Tbe scale beam bas an adjusting.

poise. and sliding poise. Tt pomp baa a relief valve by which, the preatare in the cylinders is limited to that necessary to lift and bold the maximum toad and prevent damage by the application of too much muscle to the pump handle; this valve is also connected to tbe door of tbe scale box in loch a meaner tbat on closing the door the oil is let oat ot the cylinders and returns to tbe tank, ailcfwing all parts to assume their normal po itiaos; tbe pistons descend, the car body illowajuntilit rests oq the trucks; the levers fall away from their b'earinga on the atan.darda Ginto support attached toi these at indards; the short arms, of the levers leave the bolsters the lugs otr the long a ids of the levers Bdop into the hooks L'li the cylinders the links II rest On backs of the knife edges' in the long arms of tbaievers Bj the bar ks of the keife edgf In the short arms ot the levers rest in links ii the pistorns fall away from the fjcond knife edircs ia the levers Cj tbelhile edges in locg armi of the levers res on. their ticks in the links which resy ea the back bf the kaife edje la the shert! arms of the'lever the shaft clthe Se, frer rests on te bottom of ornn. inat in knile ed; bangs in lie stanaaras the buck of the ia the the lever the lower end of tbe link M.which races oh to the back of tha ice ia the scale beam; the backs of the knife edjes'im the short ana of; the scale beam rest on the octtrn of the opening ia tae standard the enferend of tbe scaie btara rests in a support Thus all the knife edffes are not only relieved of 'the weu ht of the load, and" tha parts of tbe scale, but they are removed frm contact and not be worn or injured by the jar rir bf the car when in mti'tion.
