deal of me. and l kind Of took fan

were engaged. One evening he came
to me and put his arms around me,

now DOES A LIGHT ENGINE DRAW 4
W HEAVY T1SAINf
BY PRor. j. D. BUTLER.

ll r.I
The FIRST locomotive was patented
thirty years ago. Driving enly one
ear, if lightly loaded it did very we'll
but when the load it drew was heavier
than its own weight, its wheels would
not bite-that is, they would turn
round and round without advancing.
Hence a cow catcher was needed be.
hind to guard against cattle running
into it in the rear. 1t seemed at first
impossible to make less weight move
greater on an up grade and, for IL
years afterward, no one invented an
engine able 10 draw three times its own
weight. At the present day, however,
locomotives sweep along with trains
more ponderous by 15 or 20 times
than they are themselves. One meAns
of gaining this vast increase of power
for the locomotive, was by dividing
the load. 1t was found, that an engine
powerless to stir FIVE times its weight
of freight when concentrated in one
car, could readily draw it when dis.
tributed in a dozen cars loosely
shackled together. 1t Was heavier
than each single car; and it had over.
come the inertia Of each one, mo.
ment before it encountered the iner.
tia of another. 1t was thus moro than
a match for each car taken singly; and,
pulling them successively, it DIRE after
it train as long as u comet, and tho
farther it run the more strength it
had to run further. Here was the
story of little David over again. Or.
dinarily the stripling's weight, as he
told Goliath, was one hundred and
twenty, but whenever he got mad he
weighed ton. Moreover, the engine
forced the momentum acquired by
every car it had started to swell it's
own potency in overcoming the resist.
