On a Big Cruiser.

The extent and power of machin-
cry construction are perhaps no
where more wonderfully exhibited
than in the working equipment of
the latest Government cruiser.
There are sixty-one separate engines,
not counting cylinders, which would
run up to 120 for main, auxiliary,
and pumping purposes. The low
pressure piston is 81 inches in dia-
meter, has an area of DC square feet,
and an initial load of 100 tons. The
condenser tubes, if placed end to
end, would form tube 80 miles
long, and the cooling water passed
through these tubes equals 36,O00,-
600 gallons per day, or enough to
supply large city with water. The
main boilers, if placed end to end,
would form a tunnel 156 feet long
and large enough for train of cars
to pass through. The heating sur
face is equal to one and one-eighth

The industry of bicycle stealing which
about two months ago was assuming
large proportions has received set
back by Chief OF Police Glass's men
landing several bicycle thieves behind
the bars. Of the dozsn or more wheels
stolen within the past three months, De-
tective Bates, who was detailed on this
work. has recovered all but one. Sat-
urday afternoon Valentine Malay, a
young man, was errested with
wheel stolen from Theodore
Roberts, and early on yesterday
morning Detective Bates located a new
wheel which had been stolen from Mr..
Fox, OF 220 South Griffin avenue. 1t
WAS found in the river bottom, and Ma
lay is the young man who hid it there.
As consequence there are two charges
of grand larceny against the prisoner.
Malay is a graduate of the Whittier re-
form school, where be was sent for steal
ing watch. He was recently released
on parole. The one wheel on Detective
Bates'l ist of missing bikes was stolen in

THEY WANTED TO SEE THt "K|D. !"
Curiosity Prompts People to
Call at the City Prison.
The Prisoner Maintains That He Will
Not be Convicted.
The Alleged Roscoe Robber 10 Too
Smart to be Trapped into Admis-
sions by the Railroad
Detectives.

Yesterday, when the public learned
through the HERALD's exclusive &C.
count, that "Kid" Thompson, the al
legged Roscoe train robber. had arrived
from Arizona and was in the city prison,
a nu mber OF people called and wanted to
see him. This was not permitted, how
ever, and the only persons who had &C
cess to the now noted prisoner were the
railroad detectives.
Their mission was to catechise the
prisoner, with view doubtless to Sc
cure some admissions from him. In
this, however, 80 far es can be learned.
they failed. Thompson has plenty Of
denials but no admissions to make.
He is quick witted and is not the sort
of a man to be caught mapping. The
fact that he is in Jail charged with a
capital ohense does not appear to bother
the "kid" in the least. AS he told De-
tective Breckenridge, who brought him
from Arizona, he does not fear the result
of trial.
1t is understood that the object of the
railroad detectives in keeping johnson
and the "kid" in separate prisons was
not only to prevent them from commu-
nicating with each other, but to allow
them to get nervous with fear that the
other had given something away to the
officers. Thompson will be arraigned in
Justice Bartholomew court today.
