grades, and, while the engine is de-
signed to carry an inspection party
over the boiler, it also mas sufficient
power to haul President Webb's pri-
vate car, which weighs 10000 pounds,
over the heaviest grades on the line.
The inspection-room OF this rather
striking-looking affair is merely a con-
tinuation of the cab to the smoke stack.
1t is nicely finished in mahogany,
carpeted and furnished with seats for
six. The general features of the
inspection locomotive are about the
same as employed in the building of a
similar engine called the Hudson, for
inspection purposes on the New York
Central and Hudson River road. In
service that machine proved in every
way satisfactory.
The locomotive is of the eight-wheel
type, with a wagon-top boiler, the out
side diapeter of the first ring of which
is forty-two inches. The boiler and
engine, owing to their lightness, are
somewhat similar in appearance to the
designs of eightwheel engines about
twenty years ago, and yet the engine is
modern in every respect. The cylin-
ders are 14x22 inches. the driving
wheel sixty-two inches in diameter and
the boiler pressure $50 pounds. The
valves are of the American balance type
with tn latest improvements. The en-
gine equipped with automatic air

STATISTICS OF THE RACE.

The birth rates of the seven prin-
cipal European nations have declined
notably since 1880. The decline in death
rates has been still greater, so the stT-
plus of births over deaths has risen
steadily
Although marriage rates have de-
creased the number of children to
marriage has increased in every copn-
try except Belgium. Moreover the nat
ural increase of population the world
over has proceeded with greater rapid
ity since 1880 than before.

Robert Downing. the we'll known and

made a splendid production OF Saumet's
grand tragedy, "rhe Gladiator" That
is the play In which Mr.. Downing has
made his greatest success. aud he has
found the demand so great for 1t this
year that he has discontinued prese nting
the other pieces In his repertory snd is
now confning himself entirely to this
one great heroic masterpiece. Every de
tail OF the production is carried by him,
even 10 the small est properties. A new
and elaborate wardrobe is used, and com
plete sets OF scenery are carried for each
one Of the five acts. There Is probably
no other dramatic production upon the
boards to-day that is being presented
with such elaboration and realism. 1t
would be hard to surpass the scenic
pictures. Mr.. Downing will be here on
