The diminutive train which forms
the subject OF this illustration, says
the Scientific American. was construct
ed by Thomas 70. McGarigle OF Niagara
Falls. who claims that Il Is the small
est train ever built for the conveyance
OF passengers In seated cars. II was
built for use In tho grounds Of the
transmisslssippi and international OK
position Mt Omaha, tho space devoted
to the miniature railroad being located
In the main thoroughfare. where II cx-
tends for ovcr 1000 feet.
The greatest interest naturally CEN
ters In the locomotive. which Is In
every respect a faithful reproduction
OF the parts and working Of a full
sized passenger locomotive. 1t Ia OF
the standard eight-wheeled American
type. with a leading truck. four cou-
pied drivers and a tender carried on
two trucks. The gauge OF tho track
Is twelve and one-half inches, the top
Of the smokestack Is twenty-five inch
es above the rails. and the total longth
from the point OF the pilot to the end
Of the tender is seven feet three inch
es. Steam TO drive the littlo fellow
is raised in a w%agon-top boiler ten
inches In diameter. This boiler Is
built Of steel and was tested to 300
pounds pressure to tho square inch.
The fittings Of tho locomotive are all
complete. and include sand box. bell.
whistle and even n steam brake be-
tween the drivers. Tho engineer has
to utilize the whole tender as q foot
place. and he must. perforce. remain at
all times seated In order to get ut tito
throttle. reversing lever. etc. Tho Cen
der Is Of the two-truck type. Its wheels
are i've inches In diameter and It's ca
pacity Is fifteen gallons OF water.
Passengers are carried In the two

Raising Sunkcn Vessels.

The attempts to float the sunlcD
Spanish warships has taxed the minds
OF tho best engineers In the country.
Cylinders full OF air have been attach
ed to tho ships and cir bags have been
applied. receptacles containing COM
pressed air havo been placed inside OF
the ships until they could hold no
more. This Is done at low tide; then
pontoons are attached and. rs the tide
rises. the entire wreck Ia lifted from
tho sea bottom and may be removed at
pleasure. In working on some Of the
enormously heavy ships, however. II
has been found that the decks and
framework wero not sufficiently etrong
to stand tho tremendous pressure. but
will burst upwards. completely de,
stroying the body CT tho ship. Fame
and fortune await the inventor who
will arrange an appliance by means OF
which the larger ships can be safely
raised. The methods now employed are
amply strong for smaller craft but al
most utterly useless for the heavier
types. One Of the most feasible plans
is tho employment of hollow metal cyl
!nders filled with compressed air.
These must DO small and easily attach.
Cd TO the ship. A number of small
one are OF much more valuo than 4
few large ones. Where 1t Is possible
to pull a cable under tho ship. the
work OF attaching these cylinders IS
much simplifed. One admirable sug-
gestion Is the enclosing OF the huh In
a cage or netting made OF strong wire
or cables. This netting Ia fastened u
pontoons which form a continuous line
around the hull. To the netting or
cage the small air cylinders may DO at
tached ut frequent intervals; In fact.
the entire bottom as far as Il con be
reached may be packed with them.
each fastened independently Of the
others to the cage. Adjusted at the
lowest tide the rising OF the water will
furnish a lifting power most prodl-
gious. while the rocking OF the struc-
ture will assist IN working the hull
loose at the bottom.

Skirt lengths In plain, erinkled and

rich sheen Of satin In this textile Ia

OF those OF the kindred fabric, Liber-
