The queetlon now .irises, where did this mode of fighting originate? Although It Is liniKwslble to obtain any rellahlo details, II Is certain that tho Franoo-rriiHslan war was the first rnnnmlgn witnessing the use of jtiMtoct ed train nnd looomntlves on the Hold of battle. In their sorties ftxmi Tarls the French troops weiv fivtUently bucked up by the fire of light field pl'ioo carried In thlH manner, and when the Communists weiv holding the cap Itnl against the Versiallleao an armor ed train opor.utcd upon the railway In the direction of Chateau Hrecon, nnd Is said to have ochleved Its object In silencing the batteries which the regu lar troops were endeavoring to estab lish In that position. It Is this exper ience. iKM'hnps, Hunt has given rise to the belief that the French were the original adapter of tho idea for the utilization of pcrm.Lnent lines of rail way for the 'transport of artillery, cap able of being brought Into action upon the metals themselves. Shortly after the war of 1S70 an Englishman, Mr I'lvelyn I.lartM, took out a patent for no nrmorod train, which W'ns nullified by the discovery In the patent ofllce of Mr. Anderson's prior scheme. Mr. Jus. Anderson of Kdlnburg, In 1847, pre pared nnd painted a series of plans, and further submit U-d a working model of his tlefeimlve rolling stock for the Insectlon of ttomo distinguished engi neer and ortlllory oflloers.

The new cars being built bv the Pullman Company are not pro vided with Bmoking apartments.
