As will bc seen by the picture here given,
this locomotive differs very materially from
the ordinary locomotives in use upon Amer
lean railroads. and though she does not differ
in looks from other English locomotives, The
principles Of her construction differ much
moro from all other locomotives than her
appearance Briefly. this difference may be
stated "a follows. Tho Dreadnaught has
three cylinders, one low pressure in.
side and two high pressure outside. IL
two pairs OF driving wheels are unconnectcd,
and there is substitute for the old time
link motion for working the valves The
two outside cylinders receive steam direct
from the boiler and II Is worked at high
pressure exactly a. III the ordinary American
locomotive. After the steam has been used
in the high pressure cylinders it is admitted
% the inside or low pressure cylinder, first
having been superheaied. where IL is worked
the second time, and having lost much
greater portion Of its energy than in the old
STYLE Of locomotive is then admitted direct to
the smoke stack, the same as in the present
engines, where it assists in forming draft
The high pressure or outside cylinders are
connected directly to the rear or trailing pair
OF drivers, while the inside is connected with
the forward pair Of drivers. IL is therefore
not necessary that the two pair Of drivers
shall be exactly of the Same diameter, and
this is a great advantage, a. one of the great
est difficulties met in the construction OF the
ordinary American locomotive Is TO secure
exact uniformity OF size. Beside being much
swifter engines, the new locomotives are,said
10 be much more economical. IN tho case Of
one engine converted from simple high
pressure engine to q compound machine on
an English road, the consumption Of coal was
reduced from 3ii 70 232 The other nd
vantages are greater adhesive power Of the
engine. and therefore greater pulling power
The disposition Of the three cylinders effects
a much more satisfactory balance and consc
quenty a steadier run. The main objection
is in the difference Of starting this form Of
engine with q train on a grade, rs the low
pressure cylinder IS not operative until the
steam has been received from the high pres
sure cylinder.
In some compound locomotives there is q
contriyancc for the admission of steam direct
from the boiler to the high pressure cylinder,
but this plan has not been adopted with the
Dreadnaught. The weight Of tho Dread
naught is q, 200 pounds, or about AZ tons
The weight of the tender Is 21OOJ pounds.

JOHN BKIGH L.

bank, near Rochdaie, Lancashire, Novem-
Der 10, 1911. Far back in his stock there
were Jews, but his near ancestors were
stanch Quakers. His hatred OF civil and
religious oppression had its birth in the
experience OF his own family. AS Il
Quaker, his father persistensly refused TO
pay church rates, and was babitually the
victim OF distress warrants, which were
satisfied by seizures Of the cotton goods
he dealt in.
The circumstances OF his boyhood
strengthened John Bright in the senti-

reer. His earlier years were spent at
Rochda lie, which was the theatre of Il
constant agitation for Parliamentary re-
form. Collisions between the military
and the people assembled IN meetings
