A LOCOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE.


How Rejected r1yer Turned UP - .
: $50 Prlzo Machine
Strange things happen when men
make up their minds that they cant
help happening. ~ >
1t ls now over twenty years, says
writer in the Locomotive Engineering,
since Superintendent Healy, of the
Rhode Island locomotive works, built
a passenger engine for the Old Colony.
This engine had seventeen and one
half by twenty-five inch cylinders,
with five-foot wheel, and the only
innovation on the standard engines of
the day was the trial of two and one
quarter inch tubes instead of two inch,
there being about one hundred and
sixty of them. Before the engine ever
made turn the general superinten-
dent heard of the big Hues and openly
announced that the engine would
never make the time with the Fall
River boat train for which it was built
The master mechanic admitted that he
didn't believe it would ever steam, and
one By one the engineers shook their
heads ard allowed that it couldn't
make it-because it couldn't. Then
the firemen announced that no man
could keep it hot. and no one ought to
expect that it could be done. The en-:
ginc was doubted from the start
Everybody said it couldn't make the
run-and it didn't. It went on the
road and was q failure from the start,
and after eighteen months service it
was rebuilt. The general supcrinten-
dent paid the Rhode Island locomotive
& fp, IN; I,o
turning the old one) like the old one
except that it had two-inch tubes.
He said he knew that the new boiler
would steam and the engine make the
time. The master mechanic said he
knew so, too, and the engineers and
fircmcn agreed with them that now it
was all right
1t was all right, steamed we'll and
made the time-because everybody
said it could and would.
Some months afterward John Thomp-
son, general Iaastar mechanic of the
Eastern railway, wanted seventeen
inch passenger engine, and wanted it
as cheapans possible. He was induced
to take the boiler discarded by the Old
Colony (aftcr being thoroughly re-
paircd). None of the,engireers knew
the engine had an old boiler or hucs
larger than the ordinary. Mr.. Thomp-
son said she was a fine engine and
would just play with their fastest and
heaviest express. The men all counted
on her as a good steamer, and Il good
steamer she was This engine aevcr
lacked for steam, did her work well
and as economically as the best engine
on the road, and is in the service yet
running in sight of the scene OF her
former failure.

Journalism in SiuIu.

Siamese journalism deserves a gold
medal, says the Journalist. In July
French fleet practically invested the
capital, Bangkok, and military force
took possession of a valuable island,
defeating the Siamese garrison with
heavy loss. Ten days afterward the
leading Bangkok newspaper an
nounced: '..''.
1--WE are informed that several
French warships have been seen in the
neighborhoud: .tnd that on account OF
the unhealthfulness of Blanketty
Blank island it is feared that none Of
the troops stationed there will ever re-
turn with their lives"
Such a country ought to be gobbled
by the first European power that comes

Progress of Work at the Busk-Ivanhoe


Progress of Work at the Busk-Ivanhoe
Tunnel.
Work in the BuskIvanhoe tunnel. on
the Colorado Midland. is progressing
finely. On the list of this month there
remained to be bored to complete it a
little more than 1000 feet. M. FL. Keefe,
the contractor for building the tunnel,
estimates that the headings will meet in
four months time. The total length OF
the tunnel IS G, 400 feet. The boring from
the Ivanhoe end of the tunnel has been
temporarily suspended because Of the
trouble in keeping the tunnel at that END
free of water, the pumping plant erected
for that purpose having proved made
quate. The grade OF the tunnel descends
! uniformly from the Ivanhoe to the
Busk end; the latter being 134ft. lower
| than the lvanhoe end; as a consequence
water follows the workings of the tunnel
into the hill at the Ivanhoe end, and tc
keep the tunnel free of water the contrac-
tor erected two Cameron pumps, one
with Sin. discharge capable OF handling
| 100 gallons of water minute; and also 6
Deane duplex pump capable OF handling
400 gallons minute.

instantaneous Brake.

A Rochester man has devised plan by
which trolly street car can be stopped
almost instantaneously, or within space
of three feet, while the car is going at
full length. His device is operated by a
lever In the motorman's cab. 1t is, gen
orally speaking, a steel shoe, upon which
the rear wheels of the car ride, the under
side Of which is corrugated so as to pro-
duce great action upon the rails of the
track. On the top of the shoe is an ar
rangement which, as soon the wheel
rises upon the shoe, clamps the outer
rim OF the wheel and at the same time
grasps the inner edge of the rail. The
simple weight of the car crowds down
the shoe upon the rail and at the same
time clamps together, as in a wise, the
wheel and the rail; and all this by g
single movement on the part of the mo-
torInan. -E7ectgicltu.
