LOCOMOTIVE 4,707." - Forty-seven
years have elapsed since Mr.. w. Bald
win, the founder of the great locomative
works which bear his name, constructed
the first engine in little workshop locat-
ed in Lodge alley, a narrow thoroughfare
running from Second street, below Chest
nut, TO Exchange place. -Four years
later he moved to the site of the present
works. Recently plate, affixed to the
smoke box Of a locomotive, told the story
of the outcome Of this enterprise, "A ,707"
was all that was engraved on it, but the
four figures meant that just tba: number
of locomotives had come from the Bald
win workshops since 1881. The 4,000th
engine was completed on pennsylvania
day" OF the Centennial year. These fig
ures show an average construction Of FIVE
locomotives weekly for the forty seven
years. Two thousand mechanics are now
busiy engaged at the works from A. NJ.
to 6 p. NJ. Sometime as many as nine
locomotives weekly are turned out OF the
erecting shop. At the present time or
ders are on hand for fifteen locomotives
for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad, fourteen for the Chicago and
Alton, six for the Denver and Rio Grande
railI Dad, together with orders from differ
ent parts Of South America and the Aus
traIian colonies. Altogether over one
hundred locomotives are in course of con
struotion at the works - -Phitadeiphtn

SHIP RAILWAY.

1t is not at all probable that there will
be any serious discussion at the Panama
Canal Convention in Paris over the
plan of bridging ihis gap in one Of the
great routes of commerce by a ship rail
way. Although the scheme may seem
perfectly feasible to those who have
Theoretically originated it. it does not
strike the ordinary mind as one likely to
be attended with success. There are few
things simpler in their construction than
IL canal, and the ultimate cost of work
OF this kind can usually be determined
with close approach to accuracy. No
doubt, 500, 900, 900 is large sum to ex
pend, but, if once II canal is constructed
across the lsthmus of Panama, it is
hardly possible that any questions as to
its service ability can arise. But with
the ship railway the case would be wholly
different. The estimated cost might be
considerably less. but when the tracks
had been laid, the rolling tanks built, and
the hauling engines put in their places,
the practicsbiity Of work ing the various
parts would have to be demonstrated. -
There might be not the least difficulty,
while, on the other hand, the enterprise
might prove failure. Now, as long as
this doubt exists, sanguine inventors
must seek for some less exhalted method
of test than ono which would involve an
outlay OF $50, 900, 900. 1t is stated by
some that it would, with our present
knowledge of mechanics, be impossible
TO build traction engine with sufficient
power to pull tank car, containing the
water needed to float loaded steamer
of 5000 tons register, and the vessel hor-
self and her cargo. The weight would
be immense, and increasing the number
of tracks and wheels, while it might
add to the safety Of the car, would not
| lessen its resistance TO motion. Then, it
an accident should occur, the result would
be serious in the extreme for il there is
anything more unganly and helpless than
u fish out of water, it is ship in SINH
lar condition. A slight jar may hope,
lessly strain her, and her size and weight
are such that if once fairly on the earth
beyond the reach OF water, there is noth~
ing to do but to break her to pieces. This
being the case, ship,owners and marine,
underwriters would hesitate a long time
before they gave their consent to permit
a vessel in which they we're Interested ia

CAN A DIAMOND BE BRoKEN?-In
cutting, or rather rubbing, the diamond
into shape, and in polishing the cut stone,
no abradng agent can be used except the
diamond Itself. 1t is this supreme hard
ness that gives much Of the value to the
diamond; for the toughest wear scarcely
destroys the sharpness of the cat edges or
deadens its polish. The exceptional
hardness of the diamond is we'll known,
and gives point to the expression "dia-
mond cut diamond;" but the popular no
tion often credits this gem with an indom,
table nature which it can scarcely claim.
Among the many eXtravagaRt things
which Pliny tells US is his remark that
certain diamonds have such excessive
hardness that when strdck upon an iron
anvil the hammer and anvil are tom as
under. Yet he coolly asserts that such
stones can be subdued by digestion in
goats blood, provided that the curious
solvent be fresh and warm. Without
going to this height of extravaganza,
many believe, even nowadays, that d
tue diamond will resi- st the blow OF a
hammer. This popular error arises from
coniounding hardness with toughness-
two physical properties which are entire
ly distinct. A piece OF gutta- peacba; for
example, Is SO tough that it is torn asun-
der with difficulty, yet SO soft that it
may be indented with the finger rail. .
On the other hand, the diamond Is
so hard that no other substance is capa-
bic of scratching it, yet so brittle, that
the Regent" itself might be shattered
into fragments by dropping it on the
ground from the height Of only few
feet.-Hcience for An.
