Engines Must use Less stenm.

1t will be safe to say that to be
eble to travel continuously at 100
miles per hour we must have either
boilers or fuel which will generate
more steam in a given time than
those we are using now do, or our
engines must use less steam to do
the same work, or, what is more
probable still, we must have all three
of these features combined. In the
locomotive of the future the action
Of the reciprocating parts will proba-
bly, be more perfectly balanced than
it now is; coupling rods viii either
be dispensed with altogether or their
risk of brealxage will be lessened by
placing the driving wheels near to-
gether, and both this danger and the
disturbing effect Of the reciprocating
parts will be lessened by increasing
the size of the wheels.
To enable the engine, or rather its
journals, to run cool, the journals
and their bearings will be increased
in size 80 as to have ample surface TO
resist wear.
Coming events are, however, al
ready casting their shadows before
them, and there are indications that
the improvements which are here
foreshadowed, or some of them, are
in process of evolution. M. N. For

"Great Bargain Sales" was the
sign displayed on Sixth avenue not
far from Fourteenth street some
weeks ago. A red nosed woman in
seal plush sack sighted the sign and
made beo line for the entrance. The
street was full of teams, and the bar
gain struck woman would have been
run down but for a district messen-
ger boy, who rushed out, grabbed
her by the arm and steered her to
the sidewalk.
"Geem he calculated as he watched
her take new start for the bargain
counter 1T 'ud take ten p'leece-
men an sixteen so'gers to keep a
woman away from a bargain coun-
ten" That boy has wisdom beyond
his years, but it was all explained
when he was heard to say to a com
panion in blue and brass, "Dju know
now, that was just like me own
mothera"-New York Recorder.

Il was not many minutes befoie
the machine was wide open" and 81
was pounding the track with a roar
The engineer hung out Of the win
dow, calmly chewed tobacco and
rested his left hand on the lever.
The track was as smooth and as level
as an asphalt pavement, and 81 was
dragging FIVE cars along at about
mile a minute. The fireman fed in
the coal and more steam was regis
tered. The iron johns creakcd and
the big engine groaned as if asking,
What do you expect of fellow in

sit in an engine cab and see a man on
the track ahead of your The whistle

does not turn his head, but keeps
right on. "a If unaware that death in
a horrible form was dashing upon
him Nearer comes the train.
The spectators heart begins to feel
heavy and a cold chill begins TO creep
over him Will the man never hear7
What does he mean2 Can he be deaf9
He must be awfully deaf not to hear
the wild scream of that whistle. You
glance across the cab at the engineer.
He has changed his position. One
hand is on the lever, ready to re
verse. You begin TO feel sick as you
imagine a human being beneath those
terrible wheels. The distance be
tween life and death is small Toot,
toot toot toot. toot clang, clang,
clang You shut your eyes You
cannot bear to see the man iun down.
There is Kissing of air, a quivering
of the train, then a release" - the
engine bounds forward and you open
your eyes. The man stood few
feet from the side of the track, wav
ing his hat and grinning like an ape.
He was one of the class of smart
Alecks" who like to see how long
they can stand on a track without
being struck by train. Chicago

Loud applause greeted this tragic

In Russia sunfower stalks gath
cred from the fields and dried in piles
have entirely replaced trewood; in
fact these stalks are preferred even
to pine wood, producing a quick and
hot flame fire, About 1000 pounds
of such tirewood are gathered from
an acre of land thus adding a great
boon to a district where wood is
scarce. Suntiower shells are also
used for heating purposes, not only
in private houses, but in large fac
tories as well. They are burned in
ovens specially prepared for their
consumption. Cor, st, Louis Globe
