The locomotive of To- Day.

w. lENCnAuRe.l q aH .H
The locomotive of to-day is a giant by the
side Of the production of 1851. The New
York Central express engine is a very Anak.
Its weight is 81 900 pounds. or nearly two and
II half times heavier than its above men
toned prototype. The cylinders al g eighteen
inches by twenty-four. The average mans
head is far below the top of the driving
wheels, which are seventy-hve inches in
diameter. In 1854 "A New York express pas
senger locomotive Travelled u, 900 miles in a
year; last year the average mileage per en-
CINE stoop between 70.00J AMI &c, 900 miles.
A locomotive for express passenger service
costs, taking the experience Of the past few
years, from $500 to $40, 900 to build.
In comparing the locomotives OF to-day,
and a quarter of II century ago, you will
notice that while the weight OF the whole
machine has increased greatly, certain of the
dimensions nave not altered much. This Is
because we are limited in various ways in
constructing a locomotive. We can not
make the body of the engine over a certain
width, because of the gauge of the track;
not over a certain height, because we must
keep the center OF gravity at about the same
position; not over a certain length, because
of the wheel centers. 50 the LOCOMOTIVES
must always remain nearly the same in form.
1t is to increased capacity of boilers that we
must look for increase OF power. At present
an express locomotive boiler Is of eighty
horse power, that Is, II it were in u stationary
engine that would be its capacity. But
when the locomotive IL drawing q train Of
cars at five miles al hour, the boiler supplies
the strength Of 3T5 horses, and at forty-fye
miles an hour the power expended Is equal to
that of from 700 to 800 horses. That's a
curious fact, isn't III

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The cattle in Colorado are owned by about
800 aien who have in their employment per-
haps 5000 herders to care for them. The
wages of these men average from SIS to so
per month and board. and for forernen 8 90
to sl25 per month. The number Of men re-
CURED to care for the herris varies In proper
ton according to the size OF the herd. One
of 2O,Od would require about twenty-five
herders, 10000 about fifteen herders, 5000
about ten herders. $500 about seven heriers
and 1000 about four herders, so that the
larger herds entail less expense proportion-
ately than the smaller ones. The total cost
of herding 10000 or upwards per head is so
cents per year, 10000 and upwards 10
cents, and a less number 81. 90 per head.
A number Of improved breeds are being
crossed with Texas stock, and the results are
always satisfactory. Thee include the Pofl
Angus. Short-H Horns and GalIoways: VI
tliess Colorado men just now prefer the
former, but the fashion in cattle changes as
it does in bonnets.
