visit his old friends in Ouachita parish
few months ago, in hopes of being
benefited by the change of scenery and

great medical and surgical skill, are
going up daily to the Great Physician

The Improved Locomotive

tive of the future is the "FOntalne, so
named from its inventor. The most
striking feature Of the new engine Is
large wheel, whose circumference
touches that of the ordinary driving
wheel and gives motion to 1t. This
wheel is perchad on top OF the latter,
and is connected with the the piston
rod hv means OF the ordinary crank at.
tarhment. The driving wheel has no
direct connection with the pistoG rod,
as in the ordinary locomotive, bat, As
said above, is operated by friction with
the edge OF the upper wheel. The adj
vantage OF this arrangement is oOVloGs,
As it gives greater leverage TO the power
exerted by the piston rod in its to and
fro movement. In the ordinary locCmC-
tive the driving wheel, with the crank
attached, may he considered lever "ot
the second claGs," the point where the
wheel rests on the rail being the tuicrum,
the centre of the wheel being the point
where the weight OF the train is applied,
and the end o, the crank being the point
oil application of the power. As ;he
crank is shorter than the hall diameter
OF the driving wheel, there Is evidently
very little purchase, as the power is
applied to the shorter end OF the lever,
but by the Fnntaine arrangement II =

The result is theoretical gain Of so per

over the old style of locomotives gan
which may be put IN the form OF in

Of fuel and load, or, with the ordinary
speed and load, large saving Of fuel.
