The Monon Route now has several vestibuled sleepers on its line. The cars are of the most elegant and luxurious pattern, with all the latest improvements, including even lighting by electricity. The road is having additional vestibuled trains constructed, and of which the Indianapolis Journal says: “The trains which the Pullman Car Company are building for the line between Chicago and Cincinnati, are to be an exact type of the limited trains recently put on between New York and Chicago over the Erie lines, which are among the finest trains run in this country. They will be lighted with electricity, elegantly finished and complete in every respect. The Pullmans are interested in the trains from the fact that they will run against the new Wagner trains which the Wagner company is building to run over the Big Four line, which, it is stated, will be the finest the works have eyor built. The Big Four will get their trains on within the next thirty days, but it will be sixty days before the Pullman trains are put on over the L., N. A. <fc C. and the C., H. & D.

■TTHB FRENCH EXPOSITION. Where the Great Industrial Exhibition in Parle la La(hl«f. A writer in Science thinks tfye great French exposition laeks novelties. He says people walk until they are fatigued through the almost endless buildings on the ChAmp de Mars, and yet fail to find any great or striking object by Which they would especially remember the exhibition of 1889. The plqce is filled with evidences of untiring industry and skill on every side, but there is a strange absence of great novelties. We believe, however, that the exhibition will be famous for four distinctive features—in the first place, for its buildings, especially the Eiffel tower and the Machinery Hall; in the second place, for its Colonial Exhibition, which for the first time brings vividly to t'he appreciation of Frenchmen that they are masters of lands beyond the sea; third, it will be remembered for its great collection of war material, the most absorbing subject nowadays, unfortunately, to governments, If not to individuals; and fourth it will bo remembered, and with gooc Cause by many, for the extraordinary manner in which South American Countries are represented. Several o:: those nationalities are beginning to put themselves forward as appreciable factors in the politics of the world, and, what is of more interest to the manufacturer, they constitute iV.e richest and largest customers In European and North American markets. Especially this is the case with regard to agricultural machinery of all kinds, and those exhibitors are fortunate who are well represented in this respect.
