Novel Engine on the p, G. & st. L. Per-
forming Well
The Shaw double-eyllnder locomotive was
tested on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati q st. Louis
road last week, and performed very handsomely.
This engine has two cylinders, side by SIDE on
each side OF the engine, also two sets of guides
and two pistOus, crossroads, main rods and side
rods on each side. The distribution Of steam to
both cylinders is accomplished by one valve, and
the main rods are coupled TO pins Numerically
opposite each ether in the main wheel, and side
rods Aimilarly in each wheel. This construction
neceestat OVerhanging oranRs, that the
rods may pass around without interference
The object III making this construction ia to
avoid the necessity Of using any counterbalance
In the wheels as the reciprOcattng and revOl wing
parts are all balanced oy exactly similar parts,
always moving in exactly Opposite directions
This in itself is generally conceded to he a very
desirable result TO ACCOMPLISH, but 1t remains for
the sequel to tell whether the unusual oOnstrue-
lion, with severely strained cranks and the in
PRODUCTION of additional parts, will cost more
than the accomplishment comes to.

when men must work. Every idle day is
money lost TO the farmer aud to many branch
