A Locomotive Improvement.

1t is held by W. E. Lockwood of
Philadelphia that the "counterbal-
ance" on the driving wheels of locomo-
tives as a means of balancing the
weight OF the connecting rod, crank
pin, etc, is positively Injurious, batter
ing and breaking the rails. According
to the Boston Herald Mr.. Lockwood
has built locomotive to test his ideas
and it has been successful. He bal
ances the weight of the connecting rod,
crank pin, etc, on one side Of the driv-
ing wheel by attaching connecting
rod, crank pin, etc, on the other side
also. having of course. two cylinders
and two pistons. Steam is used under
high pressure in both cylinders. Much
useless strain is thus avoided. A
French engineer has estimated the
force of the blow upon the track, due to
the balance" in 45-ton loco
motive going at 80 miles an hour, at
10 tons. Bridge disasters are supposed
to be sometimes due to this ammerin g
effect.

American Locomotives.

The statistics of new railroad equip
ment built in this country in 1896 show
that we have built more locomotives
than in 1895 and very many more cars.
Carrying comparisons back two years,
the increase both in locomotive output
and in car building is very great. The
figures presented by the Railroad Ca
zette show that we built this year 4S0
locomotives more than in 1894 and "A
more than last year. The actual num-
Der Of engines built IL 1886 was 1,175
and in 1895, 1,101 engines. An interest
ing feature which is brought out in
this summary is the growing import
ance of export orders. In 1896, 300
engines were built in this country to
export 10 foreign countries, the engines
going chiefly to South America, but
also to q considerable extent to Russia,
Japan and South Africa. In 1894 only
so engines were built for export, and in
1895 that number was exceeded, the
number built in 1894 having been
unusually small, but still the growth
reported in 1896 is of special interest.
Locomotive builders in this country at
present have orders on their books for
50 engines for Japan, where most of
the engines now in service are Of
English make.

Geologic History of Niagara.

(Pittsburg Dispatch0 The Niagara
River, which had been first a strait
Joining Lake Erie to the Ontario Gulf,
gradually became a wide. shallow,
rapid stream; aud then, as the waters
! of the lower lake subsidized, its bed
narrowed and it's tail increased to 420
| feet. But the river was soon greatly
| enlarged. The land was rising to the
! north of Ontario as well, and ultimately
the outlet from Lake Huron to the Or
tawa Valley was blocked, and the
surplus waters OF the three lakes flow
| ed by their present course 70 Lake
Erie, and thence to the Niagara
River.
With the continued rise of the land,
especially toward the east of Ontario,
the water level rose until it attained
it's present elevation, and the fall of
the river between the two lakes was
reduced to the present 800 feet. Can
dates be assigned to these events? The
first estimate of the age of Niagara
river was given by Ellicott over a CEN
fury ago at So, $40 years; Blackwell,
in $780, gave 1900; Lyall's estimate
of 80, 600 was accepted for many years
after 1871: but recent writers, using
the mean rate of recession during
forty-eight years, AS determined by
surveys, made the value about 5000
years DR.. Spencer has made a new
Niagara river and falls. He shows
that the recent estimates have not
taken into account the various changes
that have occurred in the fall and
volume of the river. His calcula tions
result in value nearly that of Lyall's.
DR.. Spencer believes the Niagara river
was formed nearly 30, 900 years ago, and
that 1000 years later the falls were in
existence.
For Il. 200 years their height was
about 200 feet; thereafter the water
fell 420 feet. Seven thousand eight
hundred years ago the drainage of lakes
Superior, Michigan and Huron first
flowed through the Niagara gorge, and |
5000 years ago the water rose in Lake |
Ontario until the level reached that of |
today. The fails, then, are 1000 years |
old. This estimate. calculated from |
the rate of erosion, is confirmed by |
another made from the terrestrial |
NOV ements. Two deductions may be |
given-One as to the past, the other
the future. The lakes came
into existence after the glacial epoch, |
and Niagara after the lakes; and cal
3ulations based on the mean rate of |
rise of the beaches in the earlier per-
od of the lakes history show that the |
close of the ice age may safely be
at $4,000 years ago.
