Double Hashes for Itnllway f'nrs. In consequencoof tlio decided addition to tho comfort of travelers of double pushes in patunr cars by reason of tlio prevention of tho admission of cold a:t in winter and dust in summer several railway companies have decided to use double windows altogether in the future, and this conclurioa haa probably been hastened by the fact that many of their best day coaches ami chair cars rival Fpecial cars in the richness of their plushes and interior decorations, and they cannot afford to have such fittings rapidly destroyed by the dust. The comparative ease with which a car fitted with tloublo windows can be heated in winter is also a consideration. They not only provent cold air leaking in where it is not wanted, but they also interpose a layer of comparatively still air between the warm air in the car and the cold atmosphere outside, thereby preventing the loss of considerable heat by conduction and convection.
