ENGINE FOR AFRICA.
Description of a Locomotive Turned
Out at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Nov "A locomotive
was recently built for the Cape govern
ment railways, of South Africa by the
Baldwin Locomotive works. The en-
gine is one of six, intended for passen-
ger service, and designed to consume an
inferior quality of coal as fuel. They
are for a track of 8 feet 6 inch gauge,
which is the standard gauge of rail-
ways in South Africa. They are of the
Atlantic type, resembling somewhat an
eight wheel engine, but with the driv-
ing wheels set forward of the firebOX.
and having a small pair of trailing
wheels under the f1rebOx, so that the
engine has ten wheels only four of
which are driving wheels.
The engine is of distinctly American
appearance, and is equipped with pilot,
circular headlight, extension smoke box,
etc. but it has no bell, and the brake
hose is not for the Westinghouse brake,
but for the English automatic vacuum
brake. The crosshead is deep and of
the alligator pattern, with two slide
bars. The rear driving wheels are the
main drivers, and the connecting and
side rods are all of 1 section. In the
eoualizing arrangement it will be seen
that the rocker over the trailing axle
box is connected by hangers. with the
driver spring equalizer and with an in
verted semi-elliptical spring seated un-
der the rear end of the main frame The
tender has channel iron frames and is
carried on two passenger trucks, with
inverted semi-ellipticaI springs, seated
on the eQualiZerS.

ELEcTRIC MOTOR TRIAL.
Experiments at Chicago as to It's
Practicability for Railroad
Purposes.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-RaiIroad and street
car men, electrical engineers and others
interested in the application of the cleo
trio motor to railroad and surface road
purposes, witnessed the successful test
of the Patton motor on the belt line
tracks yesterday afternoon. ItwaS or
iginally intended to carry the party
over the Belt Line tracks and thence
south, making a run of about so miles,
but owing to a misunderstanding the
special coach was sidetracked some
where in the yards and could not be
found.
the motor, but was too heavy to be
hauled at the desired rate of speed, and
the long run test was postponed indef-
initely. Several short runs of one or
two miles each were successfully made,
however, and the party was highly
pleased with the results. The motor
resembles the old style dummy en-
gine It's principal virtue lies in the fact
that it generates and stores it's own
electricity and can do more work than
an ordinary locomotive. A gas engine
runs a generator of equal capacity,
which supplies the current to the pro-
peling motors of the car and also to a
bank of storage batteries. The system
consists in the harmOnizing of these
batteries with the generator so that
they automatically both give and re-
ceive current according to the demands
of the throttle. The batteries have a
capacity each of from so to 100 horse
power for five hours. 1t is claimed that
the cost of construction and equipment
of a road using the motor would be
less than One-half of that of any other
rapid transit system in existence.
