upon the County Teachers Institute; and
whereas, the members of Quartz ParlOr No. SO,

services In laying the foundations OF free

School at Marysvle, serving as It's supern-
tendent in 1868; that in the intervening years
TO 1872 he served as principal of leading
schools In San Francisco, leaving his field of
work only when compelled 10 do so by griev-
Gus accident that for many years rendered

RESOLVED, hat Quartz Parlor No. 50, n. S.

expression OF our grateful appreciation, and
commend him 10 the good will and nigh regard
of Native Sons and Daughters throughout the
State. who can do themselves no higher honor
than 10 cast sunshine upon the pathway of his
declining years.
Everywhere the Native Sons are re-
spending literally to the spirit of these
resolutions, and il will he to the lasting
credit of the order il its efforts in behalf of
Mr.. Pelton should prove successful enough
to place the old and honest schooImaster,
now nearly the allotted span of life, in "A
position to end his days amid scenes of
peace and comfort. He has fought bravely
against misfortunes which would have ap-
palled younger men, and in his final strug-

A BIG LOCOMOTIVE.
How Sufficient Boiler Power Has
Been Obtained.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


A big English passenger locomotive.
which is exhibited at the Worlds Fair,
has four high-pressure cylinders, a very
rare thing. The difficulty in the way of
obtaining sufficient boiler capacity with
out reducing he diameter of the wheels
necessarily large, as the engine is for fast
passenger service-0r raising the center of
gravity of the locomotive above the safety
line, Is met in an ingenious manner by the
designer, F. c. Windy.
He makes the barrel of the locomotive in
the form of two segments of a circle, each
greater than the semi-circle, Joined to-
gether so that while the horizontal diam
eter Of each section is 5 feet inch. the
vertical diameter is 5 feet inches. This
form makes the flue sheets large enough
for 235 Pinch tubes. The heating surface
is further increased by extending the bar
rel of the boiler into the fire-box, or, in
other words. by extending the fire. box be-
meath the barrel of the boiler.
This brings the back tube sheets very
near the center of the fre-box, allows a
crate area of % square feet, and admits of
the tube being Is feet long. The total
heating surface of the engine is 20S0 square
feet The cylinders are arranged in two
pairs, one pair outside and connected with
the rear drivers, and one pair inside and
connected with the forward drivers.
The outside cylinders have a diameter of
l6R inches and stroke OF "a inches, the
valves being operated by JOY valve gear,
while the inside cylinders have diameter
Of II inches, stroke of % inches and
valves worked by the ordinary link motion.
The total weight of the engine is 60 tons,
IL tons on each pair of drivers and - on
each pair of truck wheels. There will
probably be much discussion concernin @
the merits Of the engine.
Mr. Windy has endeav0red to design an
engine which. while not Intended to attain
an exceptionally high maximum speed,
will. nevertheless, be capable of travelling
at an unusually high average speed. To
do this it was obviously necessary to iu-
crease the tractive power of the engine,
which was accomplished in the manner
described.

A PLACID LAKE.
Where the Great Regatta
Will Be RoWed.
MADE BY THE HANDS OF MAN
The Wonderful Dam Which Has
Been Erected at Austin,
Texas.
Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL

AUSTIN. Texas. May 80 OF all the
great enterprises ever inaugurated and
carried to successful completion in the
Southern States, the Austin dam deserves
place in the very front ranks. This is
true in one sense because of the magni-
tude of the work, and in another because
of the influence it will exert upon the
future of Austin, and indirectly upon the
industrial development of Texas.
No description of the lake on which the
regatta is to be rowed next week would in
any wise be complete were description of
the dam from the back water from which
the lake is formed omitted. Briefly stated
the dam is &C feet wide at its base, 60 feet
above the level of the Colorado River.
which it spans, and 1900 feet long. II is
built of granite and limestone laid in the
best Portland cement, forming one solid
mass of masonry throughout.
By the construction of this dam water
