THE VETERAN OF THE ROAD.
An Essay from tho Brass Railing of a
 Locomotive.


 Locomotive. From the New York World
 Trouble" said an old engineer, as he step ped back from the brass railing he was polish ing and peered at the elongated reflection of himself on the bright surface, "'of course it is trouble to keep locomotive clean, but then it is trouble to shave or for a woman to wear stays. And where one takes pride in his work it is easy to endure little incon- venience. But this engine can be kept in order with one-half the work required on old CT machines"
 ''Why is it?''
 "Oh, the tendency of modern locomotive building is towards fewer bright parts. Twenty years ago an engineer spent half his life polishing brasses; now half an hour day W1n sut1ee e to Keep his engine presentable. Some of the newest locomotives are made with no bright parts whatever, but this is carrying plainness to an extreme. Superin- tendents say that such an engine does not live as long as more ornamental one and guess that is the fact You see an engineer must keep polished surfaces clean, whereas a plain machine is allowed to rust and so starts on the road to a scrap-heap, the ceme- tery of dead rolling stock.''
 ''How long can a locomotive keep out of this cemetery?"
 ''Its average life is about fifteen wears though there are motors on the Erie road that were put on in 1855 and 1856. These are a little decrepit but they do their work yet almost as faithfully as they did twenty five years ago. Some engines smoke more than others, and smoking in @ machine as in men uses up vitality very fast. No, can't say that those old Erie locomotives are so very old-fashioned. In fact they are not. One of the most curious thinps about the 1ooo motive that it was born complete. No in- vention that I can recall has been the subject of so few Improvements. Why, sir, if George Stephenson, the inventor of the first railway motor, were to step from his grave into his cab he could run this train to Phila- delphia after five minutes" study.
 Why have there been so few improve ments2 From an engineers point of view, I should say because the machine is perfect. Seventy-two years ago, long before the first engine was introduced in this country John Stevens, in applying to the New Jersey legis- lature for permission to Fun steam carriages, said: I can see nothing to hinder a steam carriage from moving on rails at the rate of 100 miles an hour Of course he did not ac- complish all that he claimed The first en- zine was brought here in 1929 by Horatio Allen, was tried on the Delaware and Hudson River road and proved too heavy. Then our American artisans began work on a locomo- tive at West Point IN. Y., and turned out the 'Phoenix,' the first built in this country. This proved entirely too small for work, so heavier ones were built, but none ever enter ed practical service. But in 1882 Gov De Witt Clinton superintended the construction of successful locomotive named after him, which piled between Schenectady and Albany on the Mohawk and Hudson road.

Boiler Explosion.

At Meadows End in Milford on Saturday about noon, where Miles B. Beardsley, of Bridgeport, is engaged in driving piles for a new pier, the boiler of the steam pile driver exploded with terrific force. The boiler was literally torn to fragments, pieces of the same being thrown hundreds of feet into the air. Windows in the vicinity were broken and the people in the neighborhood were for the time greatly alarmed. Fortunately the men at work the pile driver had only a few minutes before gone on shore to eat their dinners. Had they been on the driver they would all no doubt have been killed. The explosion was probably caused by the draft being left open and rusty safety valve. The damage is about $500,

The Davenport Avenue Sewer.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 The action taken by the Board of Health in recommending the construction of a trunk sewer through Davenport avenue, to empty its contents into West river, has taken a great many sensible people of our city com pletely by surprise. It seems hardly possi- ble that board composed of members of the medical fraternity, who are supposed to un- derstand thoroughly the principles of sani- tary science, the topography of the city and its surrounding country, and are sensible of the sanitary requirements of the peo- pie at large; it seems hardly possible, we repeat, that such men of repGted intelligence can be found who will give sanction to project so utterly antagonistic to the princi- ples"by which they should be governed
 Suppose, for instance that citizen of our city should be so utterly lacking of every sense of common decency, and so completely blind to the physical welfare of his own household and those living near him, as to construct an open cesspool in his backyard, into which all the garbage and slops of his house would be emptied, to reek under hot summer sun and impregnate the atmosphere with it's poisonous and deadly vapors. How long would even our present Board of Health, think you, allow such nuisance to exist? And yet this same Board has given sanction to a project which, in it's nature seems to many people to be quite as foolish and outrageous as that of the open cesspool we have alluded to in illustration, and tend ing to the same evil results, on more ex- tensiye scale. For what else could we con- slider West river but an open cesspool, if made to serve as the receptacle for the filth of a trunk sewer, as proposed? To be sure, the supporters of this project tell us that West river has a current by which this filth may be con- ducted into the Sound, and therefore cannot properly be ikened to an open cesspoo1. We admit 1t has something of current, but the trouble is that it's current does not always run one way, for the reason that it is inf1I1- enced by the tides, as @ consequence, it is easy to see, that the organic matter proceeding from sewer would not move directly into the Sound where it should go, but would be drifted back and forth, lodging, much of it, on the banks of the stream, there to dissemi- nate the seeds of disease and death over our city and the adjacent country. This is no bugaboo to frighten the timid, but the natural conclusion of common sense req soning If West river were widened and in it's whole length, it might more properly, and less dangerously, serve as conducting channel for the deposits of sewer, but even then it's current would be sluggish and under the influence of the tides We maintain that West river should not serve, even temporarily, as an outlet for the proposed Davenport avenue sewer and that if so used the inhabitants of this city will dis cover, all too late, that the death rate has been frightfully increased thereby.

The Hon. IL. W. Goes Hue Pond Lily.
 The Hon. Lyman w. Coe, of Torrington, is great lover of flowers. Buds and bios soms and vines of divers descriptions cover his great gardens in summer and fill his greenhouses in winter. Everything that is rare or novel in the horticultural line is at tractive to him. Last year, when in the sol itude of the Litehfeld hills, he purchased the root of what he was assured at the time was a blue pond lily. MT. Coe did not be- ieve it, but he sent the root home, with in struction to his gardener to set it out in his lily pond. MT. Coe has a superb collection of water lilies. Great double, gold-hearted lilies from Block Island, the ivory pond lil- ies from Cape Cod, and the smaller tradi- tional white and yellow lilies of Connecticut, cover the surface of this miniature lake in a solid, fragrant mass. He forgot all about his blue lily. So did the gardener. But all through the summer could be seen in the centre of the pond leaves of tremendous size, some of them nearly foot across, and of much darker green than their neighbors At length bud came out, and this week it unfolded before the surprised gaze of hun dreds beautiful blue pond lily, four inches across. It is double, of rich light blue, with pinkish centre and heart of gold
