Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1874-07-01

The magnificent run of four hundred
and forty-four miles between Pitts
burgh and New York is made with
but three stoppages-the 6rst, Of only
five minutes, at Altoona, after stretch
Of ono hundred and seventeen miles
the second, Of twenty minutes for
dinner, at Harrisburg, after an un-
broken dash Of one hundred and thir-
ty-two miles, and the third and last,
of only five minutes, at Philadelphia,
after run Of one hundred and five
miles, leaving single stretch of
ninety miles across New Jersey TO
destination. No time being lost in
stopping, the wonderful locomotive en-
gines work away with tho regularity
Of fixed MISUNDERSTANDING their sup
ply OF water from tho traols-tanks as
they 60, and carrying their fuel with
them and the time is made by uni.
formity of progress more than by an
increased rate of speed. The train is
made up Of Pullman parlor cars and
the best of company's day coaches, all
splendidly upholstered, mounted on
combination springs, and furnished
with the plate glass windows, through
which the landscape can be distinctly
seen. r.. f. l..
And here comes in the great charm
ofthis daylight ride through Ponnsyl-
vania, for the train leaves Pittsburgh

ing and reaches Philadelphia at
quarter before seven in the evening,
1t is no now thing to say that the
scenery on tho line of the Pennsyl.
vania road is beautiful, and in many
places, grand. Every American who
travels or reads has seen or heard of
IL, and the pencils of many artists
have labored lovingly TO portray, for
popular qualification, the attractions
of tho Allegheny mountains; the Ju-
niata, Susquchanna, and Conemaugh
rivers, and the wonderful agricultural
wales of Lancaster and Chester coun-
ties, through which this road runs
Long sweeps of wooded hills; lofty
mountains and dark ravino; pictur.
csque valleys opening into each other;
sparkling and placid waters; wide,
rolling, pastoral landscapes, follow in
rapid succession. A clang of the bell,
sinking away in tho rush Of the train,
signals town after town and village
after village. The dusty turnpike,
the dreamy canal, and tho shaded by
roads are crossed and passed in fash.
On, on, on, goes tho tireloss train,
over clear track, carrying the trav.
-eller by a panorama, tho like of which
can bo found nowhere else on this
continent, and probably not in tho
world. After having brcakiasted in
tho Mississippi Valley and dined at
the Capital Of Pennsylvania, the pas.
senger finds himself seated at supper
in the metropolis of Now York, where
the Atlantic throbs and swells in its
ceasoless activity. fnr w
a few years ago the man who should
have predicted such ride would have
been pronounced utterly and holplessly
insane. Not oven the most sanguinc
enthusiast on railroads when their
construction was commenced, ,dresmed
pf overcoming distance at such rate
and IL is only because of tho perfec.
uon OF machinery and the inventions
q science that it can bo done now
nut 1t Is a fact acoomplishcd--a reality
q tho day, and all that is left for the
people is to wonder and enjoy. .

astonishing efficiency. 1t seems to bc

metal and the inner ono TO receive tho

verts a pint Of milk into q pound Of
butter in less than minute, and is
said TO be capable OF making as high
as seven pounds and three. quarters
from one gallon Of pure milk at tho

alleged by skcptics TO be 20 granula-
ton Of the nutritious particles Of milk,
