THE colossal crane at Woolwich, Eng
land, which has been upward OF four
years in process Of erection. and Is the
most powerful in the world, has now rs
sumed definite shape in the operation
of fixing the great girder. The immen.
sity of the work Is illustrated by the
weight of the iron employed In Its con-
struction, which, in the aggregate, ex-
ceeds eighteen hundred tons, while the
brass bearings alone amount to more
than three tons. When completed the
crane will be capable of lifting three or
four one-hundred-ton guns ut once.
III. L. CURRIER, of Biddeford, Me-,
one of the proprietors Of the Biddeford
Machine Works, is having constructed
for his own use a steam road-wagon,
which is expected to make good time on
any ordinary highway. The vehicle
looks very much like an ordinary wagon,
except that il has no shafts, and weighs
bat 450 pounds. 1t is designed 10 run
miles without having the fire
renewed, and will cost about $500.
Fourteen similar machines are engaged
by people in Biddeford and its vicinity
should the experimental one prove q
success.
In q memoir recently published ut
Herr Sophus Tromboldt
considers that it may be accepted as GER
tain that the aurora borealis is q local
circumscribed by very mar
row limits, and occurring not far from
the surface of the earth. The light, he
finds, from a careful comparison Of .
large number of observations, is gener-
ally white, though sometimes red or
green; but further north than Bergen
the aurora often presents spectral COL
ors. He believes, also, that there Is now
evidence enough TO accept the statement
that auroral displays are sometimes at
tended with sound. Some late inven-
ions ought to be able to set this last
alleged fact beyond dispute. r4p

A Brave Engineer.


THE bravery of locomotive engineers has
often been dwelt upon, and many heroic acts
by the brave fellows have heretofore been
chroniced. One of the most heroic deeds on
the part of an engineer yet recorded was per-
formed recently by Engineer Bond, of Wabash
Engine ss7. His engine left Toledo Sunday ut
5:55 p. m, pulling the No. 3west-bound passen-
ger-train. When nine miles west of Defiance
Ohio. one of the drivipg-rods broke in twain
on the engineers side. The fragments tore
up through the cab, and threw Bond stunned
and bruised, back on top of the coal I'm the
tender. There was great danger of the broken
driving-rod throwing the engine from the
track and wrecking the train. The broken
spot where the whistle-cord hung, SO that
'brakes-down" could not be called. The mo
mentum of the train gradually increased, and
the danger of ditchiny the whole train was
paramount in the engineers mind. As he re-
covered himself q happy thought struck him.
The train was supplied with automatic air
brakes. II he could but cut the pipe and allow
the wind to escape the brakes would set them
selves. He put his ideas into action by pnttinR
his penknife between his teeth and climbing
down the rear end OF the tender, and gorting
between that and the fret coach: he reached
miles an hour. and at the risk of his life sue
ceeded in cutting slit in the brake-hose. The
b. axes. faithful to their duty. set themselves
and brought the train to halt without any
further damage. OF course the passengers
when they heard Of their marrow escape. wore
loud AZ their praises OF Bonds bravery.-ChS

But deep within thy sad, sad eyes.
