American an English Locomo-
tiveS.

1t is possible that there may be in
Scotland next year a trial between Eng
lish and American locomotives. One
great advantage of a side by side com.
parison of locomotives as a whole and OF
their individual parts lies in the possible
improvement in minor details. For in
stance, giving the American locomotives
their Just due, there can be no question
but the English locomotives have large
and more durable wearing surfaces ID
proportion to the loads. Their driving
boxes and shoes and wedges, while hav-
ing less work to do, have 80 per cent more
wearing surface. The ends of the con-
Meeting rods where the brasses bit are
case hardened, and throughout the ma
chine it is just to say that greater atten-
ton is paid to the durability of the work
ing parts in the English than in the
American locomotives. However, on the
other hand, our engines are superior in
general mountings of the boilers and the
accessibility of parts for repairs The
English locomotive costs something over
$4,000 at low rate of labor, while ouI
own for harder service scarcely reaches
$1,000. 1t is doubtful if the additional
$4,000 is warranted by the increased dur
ability Of the English engines.-lttsburg

How Law Led to Crime.

came first Law came very early in the
history of things. If remember Alright,
Adam and Eve were instructed not to
eat fruit in the garden Of Ellen. So it
would seem that law came first and led
to crime, and it still seems to. There is
a quiet little place in the Santa Ciuz
mountains where the simple inhabitants
lived for years without law at all. The
dread polceman's star did not shine out
in the dark nights; there was no court
house, no Jail, no use for them. They
were happy, innocent people. One day
the office seekers found out this Arcadia

went to the discoverer, suppose, and he
grabbed all of the offices. He became
deputy coroner and justice of the peace,
and being the surgeon, the community
was at his mercy. He bad hardly taken
