Getting Used to 1t.

A rich man once lived near a tanner.
and not being able to bear the unpleas-
ant smell of the lanyard. he pressed his
neighhor TO quit the business or move
away. The tanner put off his departure,
saying that he would move soon. But
as he still continued to stay as time
went on. the rich man became 2ccus-
toned to the smell. and feeling no man
ner of inconvenience. made no further
complaint.
This fable explains why the rich men
and heavy tax payers in so many cities
of the United States make no earnest
effort to remove corrupt administra-
tions. They, the tax payers, have be-
come accustomed to the bad smell. and
although they know there is something
rotten in Denmark" they make no fur
ther complaint

driving sleeve having a tensile strength
of not less than $4,000 ponds. The eight
driving wheels are likewise Of steel,
pressed and keyed to the axle. and have
tires three inches thick at their centers.
The engine is built in two parts, which
are hitched together, the opposite side
rames of each, truck resting upon four
wheels and connected by heavy forged
iron plates with oak bumper beams be-
tween them. The gearless motors are
four in number. two to each truck,
fexibly supported. They are pyramidal
in shape, and are the largest railway
motors in the world. While ponderous
in appearance they are by no means
so bulky as might be expected from the
heavy work they have to perform.
When normally placed the motors rest
in a position concentric to the axles.
Each motor is rated at $50 horse power,
and takes a normal current of 900 am

The engine is designed entirely for
tunnel use. and the length of its run
is about three miles. AT the end of the
locomotives run it will take hold of an
incoming train and drag it through the
tunnel, and, Of course, will reverse the
process with outgoing trains. 1t will
