soMETHING OF AN ENGINE.
A corresp ,ndert of an exchange, writing
from Wilkesbsrre, states that there has
inst been con- pleted in railro id mschine
sbop IT Wilkesbarre, Pa, locomotive
| which il is expec.ed will be able TO pull a
,rain on the New York division of the L.
high road, a, the rate Of eighty miles an
hour. The engine weighs ne .ly 100000
mounds. and the tender, when filled with
coal ard wa.er. 10000 pou"d'. Ii is staiej
,ha, the e:si;e will develop from 400 to
I 600 horsepower. The great speed clalme
| for this engine is attained by constructing
the cylinders with the ST; "a and exhsu'
| e,t;relv indereadent. This is done by
nsinp fewer plain side valves known a.
I o I'd iror valves on each cylinder. Ire
yaly are worked by = peculiar arraIgt-
men, of valve gear, IN which the motion
is taken from the connecting road. and
yorkipg entirely on true centers, there
beinp no $ idins surfaces, the steam valves
being independent OF the exhaust, and
vice ye.s', ard point OF cut on
or expansion can be Obtained without the
corresponding back pressure and over com
preston, as In the link motion. The
!, point of compression can also be changed
without altering the point OF cutoff or ex'
psnsion so that the same SID cylince'
will give much more power at given pres
; sure than can he obtained by the link
To ge. the full benefit Of this the engin'
2 carries 100 pounds boiler pre- su.e, th'
boiler being constructed Ct steel especially
| fer The purpose. It has out-ioints, double
q riyeted. with 81 inches for its smal'es
, diameter. The fire box is ii feet will
236 pinch tubes, and the Total heating SIR

h area is 81 square feet. The eDgire IS als'
. fitted with an independent; steam pumI
and heater for feeding the boiler. 80 as t

the heater being uIder the boiler. Th
pump, being indep ndent, can be rul
