THE LOCOMOTIVE OF TO-DAY.

The locomotive of to-day is giant
by the side of the production of 1851.
The New York Central express en-
CINE is a very Anak. Its weight is
$4,000 pounds, or nearly two and a
half times heavier than it's above
mentioned prototype. The cylinders
are Is inches by "a. The average
mans head is far below the top of
the driving wheels, which are IS inch
es in diameter. In 1854 a New York
express passenger locomotive travel
ed 25, 900 miles in a year; last year
the average mileage per engine stood
between 10000 and $4,000 miles. A
locomotive for express passenger
service costs, taking the experience
of the last few years, from $500 to
$4,000 to build. In comparing the
locomotives of to-day and quarter
of a century ago, you will notice that
while the weight of the whole ma
chine has increased greatly, certain
of the dimensions have not altered
much. This is because we are limit
ed in various ways IN constructing a
locomotive. We cannot make the
body of the engine over a certain
width, because of the gauge of the
track ; not over certain heighth, be-
cause we must keep the center OF
gravity at about the same position
| SO the locomotive must remain near
| ly the same in form.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. II, 1888.
Incur long and varied experience in handling watches,
cannot but acknowledge and give testimony that
the Keystone Solid Silver Watch Cases the best
made to our knowledge. Having soldering they

Up at one end, above the knot-hole,

After having admired the winter
residence they started to return to the

they reached the branch they sat
