A SAFETY APPLIANCE.
Principle in Locomotive Engineer
ing Utilized TO Prevent Collisions.

Principle in Locomotive Engineer
ing Utilized TO Prevent Collisions.
From the Washington Star.
A patent has just been granted in Wash
ingtOn for a device to be attached to loco
motives which will probably prevent
many railroad collisions and other acct
dents in the future. 1t is not so much a
new device as it is a new application OF
certain principles which have always been
known to exist on locomotives The pub
lie is, generally speaking, not aware of
the fact that an engine, with or without
steam on board running away on a down
grade by the mere force of its own CRAWL
ty, can, without the use of brakes, be
brought to a standstiIl within distance
OF a very few feet. 1t is being done every
day in the shops of the New York eleVa-
ted railroad. One repairing plant is on a
level with the street line. A heavy grade
leads up TO the tracks. When locomo-
tive is to be Brought into the shops steam
is blown off while it is yet on the struc-
cure. The engine is then pushed over the
edge of the incline and allowed to run
of its own weight down grade. BY GER
tain use. of the lever the man aboard is
able to bring it to a standstill within
few feet of the rear wall of the shops.
The principle applies to surface railroads
and the patent referred to takes adVan-
tage of 1t. 1t Is due to the following facts:
II an engine as allowed to run down hill
VI llS IL - iOuilAi iilONiAlt
the lever is reversed, that the operation
of the piStOns causes a certain amount of
air to be compressed in the cylinder. BY
a correct manipulation of the lever an
amount can be stored sufficient to stop
the working of the pistOns and conse
quently the locomotive.
Except in shops ard occasionally during
am accident however. 1.-THE principle has
never been considered sufficiently impor-
tant to be worth utilizing. All modern
trains use the compressed air brake. The
reservoir for the compressed air is loca-
ted on the engine and is controlled by
lever. Sometimes this store of compress
ed air gives out and fatal accidents have
fusing to work. The patent in question is
simply this, that the supply Of compressed
air shall be supplied by the engine itself
A small tube will be connected between
the cylinders of the locomotive and the
compressed air reservoir. If the engineer
in running, finds, as is frequently the case
that the compressed air system has sprang
a leak he WILL hereafter. be able to keep
up a sufficiently powerful working guam
tfty by merely shutting off steam and al
lowing the train to speed forward of its
own inertia or momentum, which il will
of course do for a considerable distance
on the level. then reverse his lever and al,
low the piston to pump the resulting COM
ed tube to the regular reservoir. In a
moment the latter will be pumped fun and
before the train has even begun to slow
up steam will be again turned on and the
regular speed maintained. If this contriV-
ance had been in general use sooner the
recent Blue Line accident in New Jersey
would not have happened.

flowers, alternated with Louis XVI
wreaths. caught up with national coiors.

stairway leading from the ballroom to the
second balcony will be transformed into
an arbor, the walls being matched with
evergreens, among the boughs of which
Will be singing birds in cages.
The Crane Company of Bridgeport
which will prepare the groundwork OF the
decorations, will use profusion OF white
and gold chalic in its work. The ceiling
of the court will be obscured by three im-
mense circular canopies. from which count

STATE CARRIAGES.
What Queen Victoria Rides in on
Great Occasions.


From the Hartford Times.
Queen Victoria's state carriage is said to
the most superb carriage ever built. It is
used only upon the rarest state occasions,
and since 1851 has not left the royal news
al buckingham palace. The carriage was
designed by Sir William Chambers, and in
every part was richly ornamented with
laurel and carved work beautifully gilt.
Its entire length is "a feet its hight u feet
and the weight of the whole four tons.
-Four huge TritonS support the body of the
coach by four braces covered With red
morocco leather, and ornamented with gilt
buckles. The two figures in front are
represented in the action of drawing by
cables extending round their shoulders
and are sounding shells to announce the
approach of the monarch of the ocean
The body of the coach is composed of eight
palm trees, which, branching out at the
top, sustain the roof. On the center of the
roof stand three boys, representing the
Genii of England, Scotland and Ireland,
supporting the imperial crown of Great
Britain, and holding in their hands the
scepter and ensigns of knighthood.
The inside of the carriage is lined with
rich scarlet embossed velvet, superbly lac
ed and embroidered with gold.
The state carriage Is drawn only by
eight cream horses whose magnificent har-
ness is made of red morocco leather and
decorated with the blue ribbons and the
royal arms richly gilt. On the panels are
many beautiful pictures by Cipriani. The
one on the door represents Mars. Miner
va and Mercury, supporting the imperial
crown of Great Britain. On the left and
right sides the Liberal Arts and Sciences
are shown.
The pictures on the other door and pan
els are no less beautiful. They represent
Industry and Ingenuity giving a cornu-
copia to the Genius of England, and His
tory recording the reports of Fame and
burning the implements of war.
The back of the coach is magnidcently
decorated. On the upper part is the royal
arms with the Order of st. George, the
rose, shamrock and thistle entWined. A
large picture below shows Neptune and
Amphitrite issuing from their palace in a
triumDhal car drawn by sea horses, at
tended by the Winds rivers, Tritons, Ma
lads, etc.
Her second state carriage is less mag
nificent. but more often used than the
first. 1t is the queens favorite coach.
Like the other it is drawn only by eight
horses. The beautiful gilt work round the
top is composed of roses. thistles and
shamrOcks carved in wood and richly gilt.
The interior of the carriage is upholstered
in the finest blue silk. The imperial crown
rests ON cushion on the roof.

since the days of Mrs John Quincy Adams
had the Executive Mansion been presided
over with such elegance and grace.
1t was a position which Miss Lane sus-
tanned with credit to herself and honor to
her country. She became an orphan at an
early age and was adopted by her uncle,
James Buchanan. From the time she grew
to womanhood their fortunes were united
all the honors bestowed upon James Buch-
anan were reflected upon the niece and adj
ditional luster was given to both by the grace
and virtue for which Miss Lane was pre-
eminently distinguished.
When Mr. Buchanan was made Minister to
the Court of st. James, by President Pierce,
Miss Lane accompanied him and dispensed
the inequalities of the ministerial mansion.
She was greatly admired in European court
circles; and by her dignity of demeanor and
surprising loneliness won the admiration
and respect of Queen Victoria and the heart
of many an Englishman.
When Harriet Lane was a simple country
girl in the quiet town of Lancaster, little did
she dream of the future in store for her.
When. as child, she wandered at will over
the hills and meadow lands of her child
hoods home she little thought and much less
anticipated day when she would be the
companion of monarchs, or the presiding
genius over the household of the man chosen
to be the head of this great Nation. Yet
all this came to pass in the course of events,
and the Republican Government was not

Asthm. and Hay-Fevsr Cure.-rre..

We are glad to inform our readers that sure
specific cure for Asthma and Hay fever is found
ia the kola Plant, q new botanical discovery
from the Congo River, West Africa. Many
sufferers report most marvellous cures from its
use. Among Others, Mr.. Alfred c. Lewis,
Editor OF the Farmers Magazine, and Rev. J. L.
Combs, of Martinsburg, West Va, were COM
pletely cured by the Kola Plant after thirty
years suffering. Mr.. Lewis could not lie down
ut night in Hay-fever season for fear of chok-
ing, and Mr.. Combs was life.l long sufferer
from Asthma. Hon. l.. G. Clute, of Greeley,
Iowa, writes that for eighteen years he slept
propped up in chair. being much worse in
Hay-fcvcr season, and the Kola Plant cured
him ut once. 1t is truly q most wonderful
remedy. If you are sufferer we advise you to
send your address to the Kola Importing Co..
1854 Broadway, N. Y. who to prove its power
will send Large Case by mail free to every
reader OF THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE who needs
it. All they ask in return is that when cured
yourself you will tell your neighbors about it.
1t costs you nothing and you should surely
try It.
