SIDNEY Stara used to say that no effeznal we
cautions for public safety would be forced on cella,
companies until they had succeeded in burning A
bishop. He thought even Sodor and Man woulal is.
The Great Western has succeeded in all but bask
the Bishop of EXETER. Perhaps a mere gni* d
Dr. Partxporrs may be considered equivalent toes
utter combustion of Dr. EDEN. But, besides tads(
a bishop, the railways have been unusually active it

No. 40 was a "long-backed engine," ow i

overlapping weight at both ends. The first psce
liarity gives these engines a habit of oscillation thl
second. an additional trick of undulation. As e
sailor would say, engines of this build both pitch tal
roll. This motion, lateral and by the head, il d
course increased with the speed at which the 46
