The HOIbrOOk Fire.

On Saturday afternoon last fire broke
out it an unoccupied building in the town
Of Holbrook, Arizona, where some boys
were playing with fire crackers, destroying
the entire business portion Of the town,
and entailing loss which will amount
far up into the thousands.
When the flames broke out terrific
gale was blowing, and the long row Of
business houses and residences which
composed the front, and practically the
only street, caught one after the other
with such rapidity that the contents of
none of them could be saved; even the
baggage Of drummers, the extra clothing
Of citizens, all their household goods and
vgluables were but tinder that caught and
extended the fierce flames. An adobe
building between tho tracks went as
quickly ss the balance. Thirteen cars
standing on the side track with their con-
tents were burned. Not one building In
the west portion Of the town remains.
The loss is total with no insurance 10
speak Of. ...
Mr.. F. NJ. Zuck, proprietor Of the Zuck
house, the best hotel in town loses every
thing. In all the town there 10 not to
exceed dozen houses remaining, and
nearly every family is housless, and
good many destitute and in need Of
help.
This fire should be warning against
the sale OF fire crackers in every railroad
town in the west, as all, almost without
exception, are built 30 compactly upon
one street, that a fire once started will
sweep everything out of existence.-Al-
h,oreruue Citizen.

American VS.. Epcl,sh 1ocomotive.,


The key to the evolution of the American
railway is the contempt for authority dis
played by our engineers and the untram-
piled whatever they thought would answer
the best purpose, regardless of precedent.
When we began to build our railways, in
1881, we followed English patterns for short
time Our engineers soon saw that unless
vital changes were made our money would
not hold out and our railway system would
be very short Necessity truly became the
mother Of invention. The first and most far
reaching invention was that of the swiveling
truck, which, placed under the front end of
an engine, enables it to run around curves
of almost any radius. This enabled us to build
much less expensive lines than those of Eng
land, for we could now curve around and
avoid hills and other obstacles at will The
next improvement was the invention Of the
equalizing beams OF levers, by which the
weight of the engine is always borne by
three out of four or more driving wheels.
They act like three legged stool, which can
always be set level on any irregular spot.
The original imported English locomotives
could not be kept on the rails of rough tracks.
The same experience obtained in Canada
when the Grand Trunk railway was opened
in 1886. The locomotives of English pat
tern constantly ran off the track; those Of
American pattern hardly ever didso. Finally,
all their locomotives were changed by having
swiveling trucks put under their forward
ends, and no more trouble occurred. The
equalizing levers were first used by Rogers,
in 1874. These two Improvements, which are
absolutely essential to the success of rail-
ways in new countries, and have been
adopted in Canada, Australia, Mexico and
South America, to the exclusion of English
patterns are also of great value on the
smoothest and best possible tracks. The
fexibility of the American machine increases
its adhesion and enables 1t to draw greater
loads than its English rival The same fexi-
bility equalizes its pressure on the track,
prevents shocks and blows, and enables it to
keep out Of the hospital and run more miles
in year that an English locomotive

improvements on the monograph.

In Mr.. Edison's own opinion the perfected
monograph is going to have an important
effect on the progress of Journalism, enabling
correspondents and reporters to talk their
copy into machine, instead of painfully
writing it, and enabling compositors to grind
1t out afterward and set it in type as it were,
from dictation. But why, since the
inventor is suggesting possibilities still
far in the future, may he not
go a step further and represent the
coming newspaper as printed in sound
waves instead of in typess Who knows but
that the newspaper Of the Twentieth century
may not be delivered to it's readers daily In
the form Of scroll, which, being slipped
into photograph and gradually unwound,
