The breathing" Of locomotive-that
Is to say, the number of puffs given by a
railway engine during its journey-de-
pends upon the circumferences Of Its driv-
ing wheels and their speed. No matter
what the rate Of speed may be, for every
one round Of the driving wheels loComo-
tive will give four puffs-two out of each
cylinder, the cylinders being double. The
sizes Of driving wheels vary, some being
eighteen, nineteen, twenty and even twen-
ty-two feet In circumference, although
they are generally made of about twenty
feet. The express speed varies from fifty
Our to hfty-eight miles an hour.
Taking the average circumference of the
driving wheel to be twenty feet and tho
speed per hour fifty miles, locomotive
will give, going at express speed, $50 pulIs
per minute, or $500 puffs per hour, the
wheel revolving 1890 times In sixty min
utes, giving 1,O5G puffs per mile. There
fore an express train going from London
to Liverpool, distance of 20l& miles, will
throw out 2l3,O48 puffs before arriving at
its destination.
During the tourist season of 1888 the
journey from London to Edinburgh was
accomplished In less than eight hours, the
distance being 40l miles, giving speed
throughout Of fifty miles an hour. A lo-
comotive of an express train from London
to Edinburgh, subject to the above condi.
tions, will give 423, 456 puffs.-Iron.
