DRY SAND FOE TIRE EXTINCTION.

1t is we'll known that dry sand is
one of the best things that can be
used for killing the incipient oil fire,
and some factories where oil is used,
have been equipped with pals of
this material in various departments.
1t is now suggested that many
dwelling house fires caused by lamp
explosions might be averted by keep
ing some of the ornamental vases in
the rooms filed with sand, so that il
would be always at hand and ready
for use in case of need. A further
incidental advantage of this precau-
tion is that fragile pieces of porce'
lain by being SO ballasted would be
rendered much less liable to break

WEIGHT OF ENGINES AND CARS.

Very few persons have any ade-
quate conception of the weight of
locomotives and passenger cars. The
weight of some of them is enormous,
and the only wonder is that they
do not pound and hammer down the
rails sooner than they do. Ever
since the inception of railroading the
weight of passenger equipment has
been constantly increasing, and appa-
rently the maximum has not yet
been reached. There are many rail-
readers hereabout who can we'll re-
member when, four or FIVE decades
back, the locomotives and cars that
made up the ordinary passenger
trains of that day were but liliputian
combinations as compared with the
monsters of the present. Passenger
and freight locomotives have grown
to immense proportions. For in
stance, the passenger engines that
haul the famous limited express on
the Pennsylvania belong to what is
termed the o class, and tile engine
proper weighs $4,000 pounds, and
the tender, loaded, almost an inte-
grail part of the locomotive, weighs
over $4,000, so that the entire outfit
that heads the train weighs more
than $4,000 pounds. The next
heaviest engine in use on the Penn
sylvania is of the famous mogul, or
class /, type, the engine and tender
together weighing over $1,000
pounds. Then comes the giants of
the class P type, the total weight of
engine and tender being more than
10000 pounds.
The very Goliaths, however, of the
big combinations of iron, steel and
brass that rumble over the Pennsyl-
vania rails are of the class r build
and are freight locomotives. The
engine proper tips the beam at nearly
$4,000 pounds, while the tender,
loaded with the necessary fuel for the
propulsion of the giant, adds almost
$4,000 pounds more, making the to-
tai weight of each engine of this
class very close to 10000 pounds.
These locomotives rejoice in the
sweetly classical appellation of "hog"
engines. They might, perhaps, have
been more appropriately termed
elephants" Think of nearly ninety
tons of wood and metal, and mentally
compare these monsters with the
midgets of forty or fifty years ago.
The increase in the weight of pas
senger cars has been very remarka-
BILE. An ordinary coach on the Penn
sylvania at the present day weighs
about $4,000 pounds, while the pala-
tial Pullman sleepers are of nearly
$4,000 pounds weight. The big par
lor cars built by the Pennsylvania
and in use on its eastern divisions
weigh from $4,000 to $4,000 pounds
each. The new style cars in use all
over the system range from $4,000 to
10000 pounds each. An ordinary pas
senger train, of say half dozen cars,
with the accompanying locomotive,
would aggregate nearly if not alto.
gether 100000 pounds, while the
weight of the limited express, with
its two engines and several Pullmans,
is nearly 100000 pounds--a truly
enormous weight Pittsburg Post.

are engaged in the uprooting of the
whiskey evil,
The minister took for his text, Cor,
s.: 13, and began by saving that the
question of temperance was the greatest
issue now before the public mind. The
greatest whether considered morally or
as business and political question. He
took his position firmly against the
liquor business, and declared that all

their places in the army of workers for
prohibition.

said, but one binding on every party.

it out.

of everyone in reference to the drink
