From these comparatively small begir-
ningS the magnificent equipment Of our
railroads has grown. From Peter Cooper'S
locomotive, which weighed less than a
ton, with a boiler the size of barrel,
and which had difficulty in beating a
gray horse, we now have locomotives
which will easily run sixty and can eX-
coed seventy miles an hours, and others
which weigh seventy five tons and more.
A comparison of the engine built by
Peter Cooper with the modern standard
express passenger locomotive shows the
progress which has been made in fifty
years. There have been many moditica-
tionS in the design Of locomotives to
adapt them to the changed conditions of
the various kinds of traffic of to-day. An
express train travelling at high rate of

RAILROAD ACROSS THE At
LANTIC.

A French Engineer Thinks 1t Is Practical
be with submerged Tubes.
A railroad across the Atlantic is on
the list of possibilities for future
achievement of science. Many years
ago q civil engineer read paper before
the French Academy suggesting q sub
marine railway. His theory was that
at a certain depth of the ocean--a hun
dred fathoms or more-far below any
agitation from surface storms, the wa
ter is of such density that nothing in
tubular form, whatever the weight,
can possibly sink
Having thus made a foundation in
the very bowels of old Neptune, he
proposed to sink a continuous line of
immense iron tubes-after the manner
of cable laying-in which double
track could be laid between Cape
Clear, Ireland, and Cape Race, New
foundland, and thus send trains boom
ing through the tube, to the consterna-
ton of the sea serpent and the mortal
terror Of the big and little fishes.
The only serious objection this
learned academician could see to the
successful termination of this widest of
all deep-sea schemes was the suffocating
effects of the smoke from engines used
in a submarine railway tube; if this
could be overcome, ne said, then the
grand oceanic railroad only required
the necessary construction capital.
In the light of present day sc,ence,
when electricity is locked upon as the
handiest as we'll as the most unique of
all motive force, why may we not rea-
sonably expect the French Academy to
demonstrate the practicability of their
learned fellows views.
Then again, the Keely motor lacks
only one turn of being a success, to say
nothing of the perpetual motion ma
chimes now incubating in this and other
cities of the United States. All of his
scientific objections in regard to smoke
having been overcome, let us call on
the French to build their watersus-
pended oceanic railway in time for the
great Worlds Fair of 1898. For down
right fairness" of conception this
Atlantic railway scheme beats M. Yer
ards st. Anne's bridge across the
English Channel all hollow, and for
visionary musings commend us to a
French savant every time.-St. Louis

A Sketch of Horace Greeley.

In little seven -by mine room, in one
of the upper stories of the old New
York Tribune building, many years
ago, l frequently saw man with a
very round bald head and a fringe of
nearly white hair under his chin. He
sat at desk which was almost on a
level with his shoulders. He was some
what careless in his dress, and being
very near-sighted, he leaned down up
on the desk, describing almost the
segment of circle in the lines as he
wrote. This was Horace Greeley, the
founder and chief editor of the Irtb-
1tne.-St. Nicholas

A passenger train of the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad which was put on in
October, 1881, between Albany and
Schenectady, attracted much attention.
1t was hauled by the English engine,
John Bull" and driven by an English
engineer named John Hampson. This
is generally regarded as the first fully
equipped passenger train hauled by Il
5team-powcr engine which ran in regular
service in this country. During 1892 it
carried an average of 1877 passengers
daily. The accompanying engraving
is from a sketch made at the time.

sixteen miles in length and was opened

MIR. lloratio Allen, who is still living
near York, went to England III lS2S, to
study the subject of locomotive building.
IIr had n commission from the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company to purchase
rails for their ROAD and also their loco
motives to be built in England upon
plans to be decided upon by himself
after his arrival in that country. This
was before the trial of the "Rocket"
ON the Liverpool and MancheS.
ter Railroad. The result of Mr.
Aliens Investigations was to produce
in his mind confidence in the mult'tu-
buIar boiler which is now universally
used for locomotives. An order was
given to Foster. Rostuch x Co., at Stone
bridge, for one engine whose boiler was
to have riyctcd tlucs of comparatively
large size, and another order was given
to McssrS Stephenson Il Co., of New
caStlc-0n-Tyur, for two locomotives with
boilers having small tubes The engine

President Harrison's Appointee to the
Office of United Sta es Treasurer.
Mr.. Nebeker, whom President Har-
rison has made Treasurer of the
United States, is banker residing in
Covington, Fountain County, Ind, and
is about so years of age. He has been
active in local politics and was for two
terms member of the Republican
State Central Committee. The only
office he has ever held is that of
Auditor of Fountain County At the
beginning of the Harrison administra-
ton he was a candidate for the posi-
ton of United States Marshal for the
Territory of Utah, but another man Sc
cured that post. Mr.. Nebeker, not
withstanding his disappointment on
that occasion, remained an ardent ad-
mirer of President Harrison, and is

of engines were imported to America by
the StcphcnSOnS Most of them W.re of
what is known as the "Planct," which
was form of engine that succeeded the
"KOcket."
In all those locomotives the aXlGS were
held by the frames SO that the former
were always parallel with each other.
This made it di iticult to turn curves.
This was rcmcdicd by John Is. Jervis,
who constructed an engine with main
driving axle rigidly attached to the en-
CINE frame, and only one truck, or
clearing carriage" consisting of two
pairs of small wheels attached to frame
and fastened to the engine frame by a
king bolt.
In 1884 Ross Wnans, of Baltimore,
patented the application of the principle
which Mr.. Allen had proposed and
adopted for locomotives "to passenger
and other cars He aftcrward brought
n number Of actions at law against rail
roads for infringement of his patent,
which was Il subject OF legal controversy
For twenty years. Wnans claimed that
his invention origina ed as far back as
1881, and was completed and reduced to
practice in 1884 The dispute was car
red to the Supreme Court of the United
States and was decided against the
pla ntitf after an expenditure of 5000,
OOo 1t involved the principle in which
nearly all cars in this country are now
and were thel built.
In 1884 Henry r. Campbell, of Phila-
do pha, patented the use of two p2irs OF

gratulate themselves on the success
attending their celebration in this
city Monday. Owing to the rain the
afternoon exercises were held in the
opera house, but were well attended.
The program while not lengthy was
a very impressive one. The rain
dnring the past few days lessened
the number of visiting brethren,
which left the celebration largely in
the ha nds of the home lodges.
The opera house was filled to over
flowing III the evening by those who
he'd availed themselves of the oppor-
tuuity to spend one evening with
the we'll established fraternity, Odd
Fellows. The exercises were opened
with choice selections from the Sec
ond Regiment band. The Odd
Fellows ode was next sung by the
choir which was followed by the
trio, "Charity." Miss Scribel
rendered one of her favorite selec-
tions in pleasing manner. Prof.
Parvin sang 1.-THE Good Samaritan. i"
This was followed by the address OF
the evening by Hon. M. G. George,
of Portland, OH the subject "Odd
Fellowship" Mr.. George is a slow
and earnest speaker and makes 8
deep impression on an audience. He
received the close attention of the
entire assembly. Notwithstanding
the opera house was packed to the
very door and many were compelled
to stand. The speaker had an easy
delivery and his grace on the plat
form added power to his eloquence
His address was a compliment tt

AT the close of the address the bant
played a few selections while tn,
floor was being cleared aud mad,
ready for a social dance. Th'

and those who did rot care to dance
had the opportunity to hear some
good music. The seventy-second
anniversary of the Odd Fellowship
of America was celebrated to success

Oregon school for deaf mutes were
held at the school today. The mum
ber of those unfortunate ones who
have attended the school this year
is 33. Tue school Is under the super
iniendency of z. =. Knight. The
teachers are Prof Benz Irving, G.
a. Pierosn aud Miss Lizzie Early, "a
daughter of David EARLY, of the

toned are deaf mutes and graduates
of the school in which they are now
assistant teachers. The closiag ex.
ercises were ouly such us are had ut
the end of any term, which includes
an examination of the branches
studied during the term. There are
six deaf mutcs in the institution
aside from the 33 pupils. These are
in the industrial and domestic de
parlment.
In addition to their school work
the children are taught industrial
work. The glrls are taught needle
work, and the boys are given in
struction in the art of printing and
making brooms. The requisite ma
chlnery is in the institution to sue
cessfully carry on both branches OF
work. The "Sign" a monthly paper
is the result of the printing depart
ment. A large number Of brooms
have been made during the year il
the department set aside for tina;
purpose. The school was unable t.
secure as good a quality of broom
coru last fall as they desired. Hence
the quality of the product of broom
was not as good as was hoped. AT
examination of the workmanship
proved it to be good.
Tomorrow, the old-time students
of the school will hold a reunioa Il
