tives are now being rapidly constructed, and
bid fair to soon drive all others of the track.
The President Garfield" locomotive of the
London and Northwestern road. represented
the highest perfection reached in the type pre-
cedlng the "Dreadnaught."
THE NEW LOCOMOTIVE.
The Dreadnaught. the new English loco
motive, like all English locomotives, is severely
plain in appearance. There is very little cab
and no pilot. 1t looks more like an American
locomotive than its predecessors because it has
outside cylinders. The cylinders of other Eng
lish locomotives, beginning with the John
Bnll, we're put underneath the boiler. inside
the frame of the engine. The two cylinders of
the Dreadnaught are put outside, to make room
for a third cylinder inside. This is why it is
called compound locomotive. Webb. the
designer, took the idea of the compound marine
engine and applied it to the locomotive. The
outside cylinders are high-prsssure cylinders.
The steam, after passing through these cylin-
ders at high pressure, is conducted to the cylin-
der inside, being superheated on the. way, and
there works at low pressure. The piston of
the low-pressure cylinder drives the forward
pair of drivers. the axle of which is bent SO as
to form a crank. Having performed its work
here the steam escapes through the smoke
stack. all of its energy having been expended.
By this arrangement. it is claimed a consider
able increase of motive energy from a given
amount of fuel is obtained.

Now, again. after the lapse Of nearly sixty
wears. an American railroad company goes to
England for a locomotive. The John Bull

ditiOns, one cannot help remarking the gen.

will experiment with on its fast trains. These

which tell in a series of object lessons the story
of the great struggle of the ninteenth century
TO get the greatest amount of speed and hauling

There are models and drawings of lOcomo-
tives that marked epochs in railroadng. and
models and drawings of vessels that tell the
story OF the development of the modern ocean
greyhounds- All around are exhibits that show
the methods of transportation employed by
men in different times and different parts of
the world-the Chinese palanquin. the lap
landers reindeer sledge. the Indian traveau,
the Conestoga wagon. the old-fashioned stage
coach, and scores of other odd-looking vehicles.
But the old John Bull. the first locomotive to
go into actual and successful service and to
continue in il represents a good deal of history

THE PRESIDENT GARFIELD.

The difference in the conditions prevailing
on English and American railroads accounts
largely for the difference in the results OBJ
tanned in working after substantially the same
pattern. The levelness OF English roads their
freedom from sharp curves, the comparatively
short length of hauls. and lightness of loads.
have had their effect in producing types of loco
motives.
From $40 to 1850 the prevailing type in
England was locomotive with one pair of
drivers These locomotives reached a high
rate of speed The increase in the weight of
trains, however, demanded heavier locomo-
tive with more feet" and locomotives with
two pairs of driving wheels, with inside high
pressure cylinders came into use. These engines
were developed TO great perfection, and are
still in use, though the compound" locomo-

of Portland, was on Danforth street in that

and addressing the deputy, said: "Have you

By this time the deputy had reached the
team, and placing his hand on the horse said.

The driver gave yell. sprang from the
wagon. and made off on the run. Then Mr..
Crowen took his place and drove to the station,
delighted with his wondrous luck.
