COAL STEALING ON RAILROADS.

where railroad competition is brisk,

again, as in the state of Kentucky,
where mines are numerous and the
cc'mpsstition is heavy, the onus of the
thefts falls on the mine operator. A
s.,r2e mine owner, who had to bear
losses OF this kind until he got hear
tiiy sick of them. finally bethought
him of a practlcal plan of stopping
them. He bultt car, consisting of
a'n ordinary gx.ndola car, covered by
q sectional roof, divided into four
folding doors upon each side of the
car. The doors are 50 equipped that
uhey can be turned back, one at .
time, or convenient for leading. When
the car is loaded, the doors are locked
and sealed by one operation. The car
is then weighed and is sure of being

the ccal from rain, ice and snow, anu
the train crew are not under the ne.
cessIty of climbing over an open
loaded car of coal in doing their
work. The unloading is perfectly
simple. The doors are thrown back,
each in turn. as the unloading pro-
gresses. Should the car be not fully
uuleaded at night. the doors can be
closed and locked by paddock, and it
can be left on the track until day
light without fear of fhieves. Tho

time seems neay when railroads will

THE OLDEST STEAM ENGINE.
Contracted by Boultou Watt I'm 1 1877,
it Did Du y Until Recently.


The oldest engine in the world is in
the possession of the Birmingham Ca
nal Navigations, this engine having
been constructed by Boulton and
Watt in the year 1777. The order is
entered in the firm's books in that
year as single-acting beam engine,
with chains at each end of wood
beam, and having the steam cylinder
q inches in diameter, with stroke
Of 8 feet and erected at the canal
company's pumping station at Rolfe
street, Smetkwick.' During the pres
ent year '(189S) this rema rkable old
engine. which has been regularly at
work from the time of its erection to
the current year, period Of, say, 120
years, was removed TO the canal COM
pany's station at Ocker Hill, Upton,
there to be re-erected and preserved

good management when dealing with
niachjnery of undoubted quality. It
is worthy Of note that the Birming-
ham Canal Navigations favored Boul-
ton and Watt in 1777 with the order
Tor this engine, and in 1898, or 120
years afterward, the company have
iAtrssted the same firm, James Watt
and Co., Soho, Smethwick, with the
