Is announced as a startling novelty In

the patentee, the ordinary speed Of

tapered off in front, somewhat re-.
sembling plowshare, and presenting
smooth surfaces. Where great speed
is not absolutely required, but rather
the pulling of very heavy train, this
engine is claimed to be specially
adapted by reason Of the enormous
power it is capable of generating.
This power is secured. the patentea
contends, by two boilers l64 feet long.

might be contended that the total
length of engine and tender Is ex.
cessive, being Is feet. and the weight
in working condition-9l4 tons-far
too great; but this, it is claimed. ia
obviated by placing the front of the
engine on a four-wheeled boyle, the
tender on six-wheeled bogie, and
coupling the four driving wheels. This
provision prevents, it is also hoped.
too great a stress on the rails, and with
the extra large wheel base, the engine
is capable OF taking without difficulty

If this engine proves success-as its
patentee expects-the consumption OF
