The Mechanical Wonders Developed
BY Sixty Miles an Hour.

Inc h2ch14i4CstA
BY Sixty Miles an Hour.
At 60 miles an hour the resistance of
a train is four times as great as it is at
80 miles-that is, the fuel must be four
times as great in the one case as in the
other. But at so miles an hour this
fuel must be exerted for given dis
lance in half the time that it is at so
miles, so that the amount of power eX-
erted and steam generated in given
period of time must be eight times as
great at the faster speed. This means
that the capacity of the boiler. cylin-
ders and the other parts must be great
er with a corresponding addition to
the weight of the machine. Obviously,
therefore, if the weight per wheel, on
account of the limit of weight that the
rails will carry, is limited, we soon
reach point when the driving wheels
and other parts cannot be further en-
larged, and then we reach the maxi
mum speed.
The nice adjustment necessary to the
various parts of these immense en-
gines may be indicated by some figures
as to the work performed in these
parts when the locomotive is working
at high speed. Take a passenger en-
CINE on any of the big railroads. AT 60
miles an hour driving-wheel five and
One-halt rect IN diameter reVOlVeS nVe
times every second. Now. the recipro-
eating parts of each cylinder, including
one piston, piston rod, cross head and
connecting rod weighing about $50
pounds, must move back and forth a
distance equal to the stroke. usually
two feet, every time the wheel re-
wolves, or in a fifth Of a second. 1t
starts from state of rest at the end
of each stroke of the piston, and must
acquire a velocity of 80 feet per second,
in one-twentieth of a second, and
must be brought to a state of rest in
the same period of time.
A piston IS inches in diameter has an
area of 25412 square inches. Steam of
$50 pounds pressure per square inch
would, therefore, exert a force on the
piston equal to 3S,175 pounds. This
force is applied alternately on each
side of the piston ten times a second.

HIS FIRST SERMON HERE
DIR. Henry at the Methodist
Church.
CONGREGATION GREATLY PLEASED
WITH THE NEW PASTOR
He Spoke on Love as the Central
Thought In Christianity and the
Cement Which Binds Society To-
gether.

DR.. Albert H. Henry, the new pastor
at the First Methodist Church of the
Strangers) preached an eloquent SER
mon last evening, taking for his text
John 4-16 God is Love-"
This is the first sermon in this city
by DIR. Henry, who addressed a large
congregation. He has a splendid de-
livery and made a very favorable i'm
preston.
The members of the church are all
very much pleased with their new
pastor.
The reverend gentleman said that in
this wonderfully comprehensive and
tender epistle of John, from which the
text was takens the central word IS
love.
Love is also the central thought in
Christianity; it is the cement when
binds society together. As people learn
the meaning of love civilization ad-
yances. because as God is love so love
must be the controlling motive in the
lives of His children.
The speaker argued that the con-
clusion God is Love" is not the result
OF observation or reasoning, because a
first thought IS that God is hostile to
man and must be appeased, while a.
THE object of revelation is to COM
bat both these conceptions. The life of
Christ was d revelation of the love Of
God while his death was an emphasized
revealment of the words of the text.
God is ever holding out his hands

tween us and eternity saying, Come
THE knowledge of love begets love.

God loves me- but as the truth is
brought home he perceives it and in

Love is power and while it involves
self-sacriEce, it means heroism-
I'VE should look up and get a glimpse
of God and open our hearts; then look
around US and get a glimpse of men
and we shall ourselves learn to love-
At the close of his discourse Rev.

Admits the Murder of Guy Hutson-
miller.


Omaha, Nov 22.-Charies H. Elliott,
or George Elliott. who was arrested at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on a train from
Omaha, and who is now in the county
jail charged with the murder of his
friend and roommate, Guy Hutson-
piller, made a confession today in the
presence of witnesses, admitting that
he killed HutS0npiller, but claiming
that he committed the crime in the
heat of passion. and that he did not
realize until afterward the enormiry
Of his deed. The police still believe the
murder premeditated and claim the
confession is made in the hope of Sc
curing lesser punishment. According
to the statement of the prisoner, he
had a dispute with Hutsonpdiler over
small balance and, both losing their
temper, a quarrel resulted in which, he
says, his friend threatened to whip
him. He then picked up a coupling pin
which was in the room and struck
Hutsonpiller on the head with 1t He
then went out and purchased some
chlcrOfOrTn. with which he saturated
a. towel and placed Il over the injured
mans face. He says that HutSOnpil-
Ter was alive and he left him so, and
when he had attended to settling his
bills he left town. He declares that
he had no knowledge of his friends
death until afer he was arrested. At
ter he first hit HUtsonpiller, he says,
his mind became confused and except
for the chlo-OfoIm incident he can re-
member nothing until he started for
the depot. He admits having taken
$21.35 from his roCen-nate's pockets.
but insists that his story of receiving
500 in letter the day before the kill
ing is true
