building, to contain apartments for animals, will 

 be one story bigb, with loft for storage of food 

 supplies ; the interior of the walls and the 

 floors to be moisture proof and to have ample 

 water and sewer connections. Both buildings 

 are to be lighted with electricity. 



The London Times quotes from the Journal 

 of the Board of Trade, a report from the loco- 

 motive superintendent of the Oudh and Rohilk- 

 hund Railway, on the working of ten American 

 Baldwin engines supplied to that line last year. 

 After describing the changes made in the en- 

 gines to suit them to local requirements, and 

 the chief defects which have shown themselves, 

 the superintendent concludes: "Those ten 

 engines have been working passenger trains, 

 running at 30 to 85 miles an hour, and goods 

 trains, running at 20 miles an hour, chiefly the 

 former, and they have done their work well. 

 They steam capitally and are remarkably good 

 starters ; they get away from a station with 55 

 loaded (wagons or coaches ?), equal to about 

 1,300 tons, with the greatest ease. They are a 

 little higher in coal consumption than our new 

 B class. They are easily repaired, but repairs 

 will have to be kept up, as, if not, they will go 

 to pieces sooner than our other engines would. 

 They do not, as far as I can see at present, cost 

 more in repairs than other engines, and I am 

 very satisfied with them." The cost of these 

 engines, turned out complete, was Rs. 42,020 

 each, and the cost of the new B class engine, 

 which is the engine used on the line for similar 

 work, isRs. 44,826.
