ment house, with its great hall for civic

Unequaled facilities have been given
Hamburg for the loading and discharglng
of steamers by a recent construction (which
still goes ON of extensive quays furnished
with steam cranes, ware houses and com
munication by rail with the whole of the
continent. Constant efforts are made to
deepen the bed Of the river, and under
favorable circumstances vessels drawing
eighteen feet can go up to the harbor at
high tide. Larger vessels load and dis
charge at Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the
Elbe. The number of seagoing ships that
entered the port in 1876 was sob, with a
burden of 2, 1870, 451 tons, including 1908
steamers of ], 1921, 04S tons, the total crews
being over 10000. It is said that the com
merce has almost doubled since 1876, and
within the last twenty-eight years the i'm
ports have quadrupled.
Hamburg is one OF the largest coffee
marts, and, next to London, has the largest
money exchange transactions in Europe.
1t is also one Of the principal emigration
ports of Germany, above q quarter Of a
million persons having left during 1S70-74,
chiefly for the United States.
Hamburg is very ancient city. Charlie
magne built a castle there in 800 and
during its growth from village into a
town it was several times destroyed. A
history of the city of Hamburg would
make a good sized volume, and q deeply
interesting one withal.

A NOVEL LOCOMOTIVE.
II is ''self Balanced" and They Say WIN
Prove Exceptionally Fast.


Prove Exceptionally Fast.
A new locomotive has recently appeared
on the tracks leading to the Union depot
in st. Louis which bids fair to supersede
the ordinary engine. 1t might with pro
priety be called "the Siamese twins" It
has the appearance of two locomotives
which have been backed together with
sufficient speed to demolish the cabs and
smoke stacks and leave only the mechani-
cal parts. At any rate there is but one
smoke stack in the center and instead Of
tender there are coal bunkers resting
astride the boilers. On the whole, it is
such a peculiar looking machine that,
doubtless, horses who have got used to the
old locomotive on seeing this one will
have to get used to such contrivances all
over again.
The machine is the invention of Dr.
Christian Raub, of New York, an engineer
who was educated in Germany, and who
has long been a student of railroad me-
chanical engineering. He claims that his
engine will average a mile minute, but
a record said to have been made goes far
beyond this. The locomotive was built
in Patterson, N. j., and an engineer on q
wager drove 1t ten miles in five minutes
on straight track near there. This
would give speed of 1870 miles an hour,
and If an dir line were built between New
York and Chicago the distance could be
made by this engine in about eight hours

The best place to find alligators is in

with cab and coal bunkers removed 60 show tll8
mechanism
It is claimed that this engine will use
so much less coal than the ordinary loco
motive that the engine can be carried ten
times as far with a single supply. The
cab is in the center and the cylinders are
on each side Of it and placed vertically so
that the pistons have a perpendicular
stroke. There is disk below each cylln-
der, which is connected to the piston rod
with a crank lever, by which the recipro-
eating motion of the piston Is converted
to rotary motion. Connecting rods run
each way from the disk to two sets OF
driving wheels, on which the machine
moves. Tho boilers are heated by two
furnaces, and it Is claimed that the fuel
is completely consumed.
The main object for which the locomo-
tive is designed is rapid transit expressly
for mails. 1t is stated that the authorf.
ties Of the postoffice department have
already signifed a willingness to place
the mails on trains drawn by the new
machine, and doubtless it will produce q
revolution In this respect.
