DoUBLE-ENDED LOCOMOTIVES.
Twin Engines on the Mountain Grades
of Mexico.

OEu0eQ
of Mexico.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Between Orizaba and Esperanza, on the
Mexican railroad-the English road be-
tween Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico
the road climbs nearly 1000 feet in about
twenty EIGHT miles, most of the heavy
grade being on the twenty-mile stretch
from Maltrata to Esperanza
For nearly twelve miles the grade is 8
per cent, or 264 feet to the mile. With or
binary engines, traffic would be CONNER
cially impractical. but the Fairlee double
ended engine solves the problem. In these
engines all the weight of engine, water and
coal is on the driving wheels These en-
gines weigh 100 tons, and are capable of
hauling from 175 to 100 tons up these
grades. Seven loaded freight cars, and
sometimes nine, are hauled up these heavy
grades. The double-header engines are
FUSED by no other road in North America
The Mexican Central railroad shirt time
ago built an extra heavy double-header en-
gine for heavy freight work, but it was
failure, for exactly what reason was never
divulged.
On this mountain division no other en-
gines are used. On the more level divisions
the majority of the engines are American,
being, it is said, more economical than the
Fairlee.
The fuel used is the compressed ''bri-
quettes," which are stacked up on the fire.
mans side. on the top Of the water tank.
The speeo of these engines is but little over
ten miles per hour and on the heavy grades
eight. The rules of the company prescribe
a maximum speed of eight miles per hour
on the down grade between Esperanza and
Orizaba, experience having shown that any
thing more than this rate is dangerous,
cars getting beyond control, especially
when the track is wet.

of several letters of timely interest from
the Klordike from Mr.. John p Clum, post
office inspector for Alaska, who has gone
out to that country for the purpose of es-
tablshing new post offices and post routes.

Mysterious sort of story in which one of
the characteristic seventh man-joins the
other six without their leave or invitation.
The six are castaways from a wreck in the
Arctic seas. Lovers of well-told story in
the supernatural vein, rot an DID, conven-
ticnai ghost story, but a cleverly conceiv-
ed tale with an other-world side to it, will
find in Mr.. Coucfs Seventh Man. rare
treat.

ALOHA TO cassie.
Kauai Friends Gives William a
Big Send-Off.

VIM. cassie, formerly chief engineer
at Kealia plantation, Kauai, arrived
from Kappa on the James Makee yes
terday morning. Regarding the depar-
ture of Mr.. cassie from Kappa, cor
respondent from that place writes as
follows:
Probably such a crowd of people on
the Kappa wharf was never seen be-
fore. People from Kealia, Lihue, other
places and Kappa, all gathered there
TO say goodbye to Mr.. cassie, who is
one Of the most popular men on Kauai
They covered him with leis. and. as the
boat containg him, hauled away from
the wharf, they threw rice as a token OF
their ardent wishes for his success in
the Klondike.
There is an old superstition among
the natives that when a whale is seen
close to shore, there is good luck in
store. Just as the rice was being
thrown, a monster whale was seen to
pass in front of Kappa. Not a breath
was stirring and the motions of the
monster Of the deep could easily be
seen"

They Are
Reliable.

Saturday evening, Janaury 29th, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Island on bicycles. The
list was made UP of some Of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them a '97 Overland Special which is
handled by the HONOLULU BICYCLE
co The Overland was the only wheel
in the lot which made the trip without
trouble of any kind. OVERLANDS
are the kind of wheels that take you
away from home, and bring you back
again.
By the last Australia, we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without any excep-
tons, the most beautiful models, and
the highest grade wheels ever shown
here for anything near the price which
we shall sell them-$65. We defy all
competition, even at much higher
figure.
