LOCOMOTIVES WITHOUT FIR,
And he dasn't.

LOCOMOTIVES WITHOUT FIRE.
Machines on the above-named prin-
ciple are now at work on the tramway
from from Reull to Marley, near Paris,
and with very satisfactory results. The
system in use is one introduced by NJ.
Francy, an engineer, and is based on
the fact tnat water boils at a lower
temperature proportionately to the re-
ductiOn of the atmosphere pressure.
Most of our readers are aware that, al
though water requires heat of 2l2 de-
grees Farenheit to boil at the level of
the sea, a much lower temperature is
sufficient to produce the same effect on
top Of a mountain. We will now ex-
plain how that physiological fact is
practically employed. Into a reser-
voir of thin steel-we cannot call it
q boiler, for it has neither fireplace nor
fire-is introduced 800 litres of water
at temperature of 200 degrees Fahren-
heit, and then covered hermetrically.
The steam it gives Off at once fills up
the superintendent space, and pro-
duces a pressure of fifteen atmOspheres.
As long as any of the vapor is turned
on for moving the machine the pres
sure is reduced, and the water then be-
gins to boil, producing fresh supply
of steam. OF course. the process is of
but limited extent, as at the COM
mencement, the liquid only contained
a certain amount of heat, which is
gradually diminished as the reproduc-
ton Of steam takes place at lower tenn
perature by the exhaustion of the su-
rerincumbent pressure So far a ma
chine of this description would be OBJ
viously totally inadequate to any pro-
longed journey. But for short transit
it has been found extremely servicea-
bic. As the amount of pressure re-
quired to work the engine is only five
atmospheres, series of valves are SO
arranged as to prevent a greater
amount of force issuing from the res
ervoir than is necessary, and thus re-
tanning, as far as possible, the heat or
iginally contained in the water. The
driving part of the machinery is nearly
identical with that of ordinary loco
motives, with a few notifications with
the purpose of guarding against USE
less waste of the heat originally intro
duced into the reservoir.--[Galignani's

WHY SHOULD BOYS BE GOOD.

at the foot of Griswold street, the

zen who. after releasing one of them,

"Well. said the gentleman, "Iast
winter, you will remember, the Dis
patch stirred up matters pretty lively
in the body snatching business. Folks
in the small towns around Columbus
were considerably worked up" over
the matter. A young lady died at
Shadeville, and was buried in the viii
lage graveyard. Her father, fearing
that someone might attempt to steal
the body, placed guard at the grave
the night after burial. When the
guard was about to leave, near mid
night, thinking no one would come,
he heard noise some persons were
coming toward him! He hid himself
i'm . clump of bushes near the grave
and kept perfectly quiet. Two men
came up and proceeded at once to res
urrect the body. In a short time they
had it up and in a sack. They left it
by the grave and went to where the
horse and wagon were standing, and
drove back to where they had left the
body. Meantime, the father of the
deceased lady took the corpse out of
the sack and put it in the bushes
where he had been hiding, and got in
the sack himself. The two men picked
up the sack and loaded it into the
wagon, and started off in the direction
of Columbus. The man in the sack
lay there and heard the two occupants
planning other robberies and jesting
over the easy manner in which the
Reubens" were allowing
their dead to be resurrected. At last
he thought his time had come. He
got out of the sack. Slipping up be-
