In closing this article, which is only incomplete on account of the negligence of some railway offi- cials, who will not take the usual ‘tneans to inform rhe public as to the time and so forth on their roads, we desire to ssy a word in relation to ar- Tangementa for the asfety aud comfort of passen gers travelling by railway. Until within a few years no attempt was made tp contribute to their -comfort, end invalids were afraid to travel by rail- way. as the annoyances en roufe gave them mora trouble than all the sanitary effects of the journey could possibly compensate. Various inven- tions have lately been placed before the pub. lic for the improvement of railway favill- ties.
