corning recently patented invention of
former Burlington engineer: Tubular
Boiler.-Sweney Munson, Sayre, Penn
This boiler has an outer and an inner
shell, with manifold at each end of the
latter and water hue connections between
them, there being forward of the inner
shell a crown sheet having a water leg,
while circulating tubes having connection
with arched braces extend through the
crown sheet. It is designed that the
boiler will require less number of stay
bolts than are at present necessary, to
reduce the liability to leaky fues to a
minimum, and afford greatly increased
heating surface, the construction also be-
ing such that every fue can be easily in
spected and cleaned

Dallas. Texas. November ls.--superin-
tendent J W. Maxwell OF the Missouri,
kansss and Texas railway is very much
interested in new ballast his line IS
manufacturing for usc on the eighty -eight
miles Of road between Fort Worth and
Hilisboro. 1t Is gumbo, made by burning
black land dirt for three days, or until il
Is light as chips and as brittle AZ glass
The burning is being done near Hills
boro and Is conducted as follows: row
OF old ties Is placed along the track for
a hall mile and then set on Are; a steam
shovel Is set at work then, heaping a
layer Of dirt and layer Of soft coal upon
the fire, alternately. This il kept up for
several days. when the whole mass is al
lowed to cool. The coal and black dirt
have by this time become a hard, porous
substance that Is said to make by railroad
men the best ballast ever discovered
Superintendent Maxwell has received
samples of the work at his Dallas office
and is highly pleased with them. He says
he Will have 100000 yards, or enough to
ballast the Fort Worth Hillsboro division,
burned at this time.
Eventually he expects TO see the entire
system ballasted with this material
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy roads
have been using gumto ballast for several
years and have found it very satisfactory.

Dallas, Texas. November 19.--Mrs. G. w.
Mead Of Dallas has invented an automatic
car coupling that has received the approval
OF every railroad man who has seen It.
President Il. II. r. Green OF the Texas
Midland has examined 1t critically and
expressed himself as being much pleased
with its appearance. officials OF the
Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Cen
trail railways have written very encourag-
ing letters to Mrs. Mead concerning her In
vention.
Mrs. Mead's invention has all the simplici-
ty of the Jenny coupler and Is pronounced
more effective because 1t can be operated
on sharp curves as easily as on straight
track Mrs Mead has spent twenty years
at this work and is greatly admired by her
acquatntances because Of the mechanical
genius she has shown. She has secured a
caveat on her invention and when congress
enforces the use OF automatic couplings.
