RAIL ROADS AND COAL MINES

Leeds, .Iprn 1925 The iron rail road connect,
ed with the extensive coal mine, that furnishes a
large proportion of tie supply Of Goals consumed
in Leeds terminates at the outskirts OF the town.
Upon this rail road was used one of the first loco
motive engines constructed 10 England. AS we
approached this side Of the rail road the engine ap-
peared in view at distance drawing after it thirty
large iron wagons, chained closely together in a
long row, and heaped with Goals Each wagon
weighs about ton and an half, and contains two
tons OF Goals, making the weight of the thriy wa
CONS about 100 tons, besides the weight of the
engine itself, all moving steadily along at the rate
OF 81 miles per hour. The engine 6rst approached
mounted on four cast iron wheels with long un
dulatng banner OF smoke streaming from the top
of its moving chimney. The engine is Of the high
pressure sort, and sends out pus Of steam every
stroke, accompanied by o hoarse quick noisa
setnbling the painting OF some animal; the wagons
follow, rolling with hollow. sound upon the iron
rails. The engine seems while drawing the long
trail OF loaded wagons, to toll forward, putting and
painting, almost exciting the same sympathy for
it's abors which the passing spectator sometimes
feels while regarding the straining efforts of
horse tuggng with his load. The engine was at
first termed by the workmen The " stalking horse"
from its supposed resemblance to this animal, while
drawing cart of frosty morning, when puts of
steam from the engine might represent the condens.
ed breath from his nostris, long moving bars con-
nected with the crank motion on the cog Wheels the
motion Of his legs. AS the whole caravan passed,
we observed the engineer seated on the little plat
form attached TO one end of the engine near the
furnace door, provided to contain the coal to supply
it while on the way. He was smoking his pipe at
his ease, and talking with an old lady seated opposite
to him, to whom he had kindly given ride to-
wards her journeys end. This great weight Of 100
tons, equal to the freight of large schooner, is
thus moved along with more facility and speed, than
even the light load Of a common cart, requiring no
other attention to start, than just to turn valves an
occasional shovel full Of Goals to continue the jour
ney, and the closing of the valve the end OF it
not even the common precautions of driving are
required, as the wheels follow with certainty the
grooved hollows OF the iron rails. The boiler Is
supplied with water from common pump midway
of the rail road, where the engineer stops as often
as he finds i, necessary to repIeDish it. When the
wagons passed by the earth under our feet seemed
to tremble beneath the load 1t is indeed graft
flying spectacle to view this vast mass OF matter
moved BY its own agency,-formins as i. were a
sort of triumphal procession to honor the inventive
genius of man.
Rail roads may be traced back, as it is stated, to
the year 1850. Al that period Goals cams 20 be
