Fortifying Prosperity

From the Philadelphia North American.
 It is not~to be supposed that the pres- ent flood of prosperity will run forever. Such tides have always had their ebbs, and sooner or later we shall probably be strand ed on another stretch of hard times. But it seems reasonably certain that the turn will not come soon We are not living from hand to mouth now; we can look ahead, and we seem to be solidly fortified against any thing like a business collapse for over a year to come.
 Perhaps it is one of the mitigating fea- lures of great combinations of capital; per haps it is merely the general growth of hahit of forethought, but at any rate bus mess is establishing itself more and more on the basis of future contracts It is no longer possible for a financial panic to stop every wheel in the factories of America. Orders booked for a year in advance will keep the wheels moving, whatever happens in Wall street.

Making the SOufh Rich

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 .3s A rrivate letter received here the other dag from a Louisiana cotton planter said that he was selling all his cotton at to 12
 cents pound and nothing under cents.
 A gentleman who has just returned from >Emtsvile says he saw cotton selling there from the wagons of the negro planters at sG53 cents a pound Such prices as these Thnsan a high state of prosperity in the
 south, and completely knock out the force of Senator Jim Jones' remark that he didn't
 sec any great prosperity, and that cotton
 hadn't advanced much anyhow. The sen-
 atpr in comnlen with a great many others,
 keeps his eye fixed upon that time when
 cotton sold on the plantation ot 2h to 3 cepts. That time has gone by how, and W are living in a new and better era.

decreases and he may be able to suggest a remedy to prevent the falling off. If he succeeds as we'll In financial work as he has in the mechanical departments the name of Vanderbilt will remain a synonym for successful railroad management for another generation at least.
 Said MT. Vanderbilt, in speaking of his invention: '.Yes, it is a wonderful thing, for my business, at least. The point is, not that I designed 1t, but that it works and will, in time. save great deal of annoyance to passengers. It will do away with many of the tedious delays to which people are now subjected, when accident occurs to the firebox.
 ''No, I am not much of a draftsman, but but l can manage we'll enough when I set out to work at the drawing board.
 "There are many patents in this one invention, for, in order to produce the whole, 1t was necessary to invent many smaller parts, all of which had to be pro- teeted by patent
 "The principal thing is the doing away with the stay bolts The shape of the old firebox, not being cylindrical, made the use of staybolts absolutely necessary. I con- ceived the idea of making it a cylinder and, when the model was tried, 1t worked so well that I completed it.
 'Yes. we are very much pleased with 1t. The whole was built from a small model which ran upon tracks similar to a large train of cars.
 "Shall invent other appliances and parts for use upon the road? Probably: one can never speak of an invention before it is in- vented. One can only work and experiment and hope for the best.
 Master mechanics have for years tried to get rid of the staybolts on the old fire boxes. There are other things that are baffling them. I have the leisure and means to overcome these difficulties. Now if I can find the skill, then all will be done.
 Do I enjoy mechanics? Extremely. love to work in the shop better than any thing else.'

position just as if he had been the son of one of the poorest men in the land.
 This was but about two years ago and already he has become practically a. master of the mechanical end If the business. He has shoveed coal; he has dug in the trenches; he has polished locomotives, and he has helped to lay rails, but all the time that he has been performing these menial duties he has kept his eyes open and already he has suggested and carried out enough improvements to show that he is not lacking In the inventive faculty, and there is no reason to believe that Chauncey Depew was wrong when he predicted that the young man would yet be one of the greatest railroad managers of the age.
 His last and greatest feat was the inven- ton of a locomotive that achieves greater speed with a smaller expenditure of coal than any railroad engine that has yet been devised. Men who have grown gray in the designing room of the New York Central company would be proud of this feat but young Vanderbilt accepts his success with @ modesty that argues in the future.
 Fprsiyears engine designers all over the wdtaa1have been Striving to increase the sijHed' pff Locomotives. Incidentally if they of coalfa double victory would be gained. In entering this field of invention MT. Vanderbilt had hundreds of rivals to con- tend against but at the very beginning or his work he showed a degree of good sense that gave the heads of his departments confidence in his ability to perform the task that he had set for himself.
 Instead of trying to introduce bigger drive wheels, or a method of multiplying re- vol,ltions or any other of the crank schemes brought out with such regularity by unscientific men he got right down 10 the very yitals of the locomotive by designing an improvement upon the hrepoX. Ihe
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

Vanderbilt locomotive may be gained from the fact that there are 16S square feet of heating surface to the furnace. while the 2S2 tubes give 2,16i.56, making a total of 2,35627 square feet There are 35.2 square feet in the great area. The engine has 61- inch drivers and the boiler carries 1S5 pounds of steam pressure This means more than 27000 pounds of traction power. The weight of the engine is 100000 pounds all told.
 The first trial of the new locomotive was made last August, over the 19S miles of road between West Albany and Syracuse. On the first trial trip the road was not cleared, but coupling up fifty cars. light and loaded, MT. Vanderbilt made the run as successfully 1t could have been done by any locomotive the division. The next day, however, the new locomotive was given the right of way, to see what she could do. On this trip she carried a string of sixty-three cars behind her and yet she worked up to thirty miles an hour. and, as Mir Vanderbilt expresses it, "she blowing off steam frequently, too." On these trips MT. Vanderbilt held the throttle himself and his face beamed with delight when. at the end of the run, he stepped in to the telegraph office and wired back to MT. Waite, the head of his department. the two words, "She works"
 To have successfully accomplished such a feat is certainly great achievement for the young railroad man. for MT. Vanderbilt prefers to be known as a railroad man rather than as a millionaire, but even if he had failed in his first attempt it would nave argued we'll for his future usefulness that he had tried to do something worth while.
 It proved that money in hand and money in prospect did not represent the sum

SHE WORKS" WIRED
 MIR. VANDERBILT, IT
The Neat Invention Patented by the Young Millionaire
for the Steam Engine.

New York, November Al have the pleas ure today of talk with an inventor who, if he were so inclined. could hire the ser vice of all of the inventors living, for life!
 A scion of the house of Vanderbilt who is not ashamed to don the plebeian blue jumpers and who finds more genuine pleas ure in working around the round house and machine shops of a great railroad system than in dancing attendance upon the belles to the average person as somewhat of an anomaly.
 When young man who has a mechan- ical turn of mind has his own way to make in the world 1t is perfectly natural that he should turn his attention to this important end of railroad but it is certainly a trifle out of the ordinary to find the eldest son of one of the richest men in the country clad in jackets and overalls, working side by side by men whose daily bread depends up on the few dollars day that they receive for their labor.
 Such a man is Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., and while his course may seem strange to those who look upon genteel idleness as the height of moral ambition, to him manual labor is the most natural thing in the world Soon after his graduation from Yale he announced his desire to enter the employ of the great raNroad corporation that is known as the "Vanderbilt System" If he had made the request it is probably that he might have obtained a pleasant berth in some one of the executive offices but that was not his intention. It was his desire to learn the business from the bottom to the top, instead of trying to study the mysteries of railroading from the top ito the bottom. So he accepted a most humble
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

total of his happiness but that on the other hand, he had good stuff in him.
 In pursuing this course young Mr. Vanderbilt simply followed in the footsteps of his ia ther.
 When the late Mr. Vanderbilt was a young man he too proceeded to learn the business of railroading from the ground up and he mastered every department before he became president of the great system that he did so much to improve. In the same way Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. will be changed from department to department as his progress proves him competent to accept the advancement.
 When he has mastered every portion of the mechanical work he will go into the administrative offices, where he will not have to soil his hands and wear jumpers, and there he will study finance, expendi- lures and receipts. He will have an oppor- tuntty to learn why business increases and

frebox is, comparatively speaking, the heart of the locomotive. Steam is its life blood and upon the fireboX depends the amount of steam produced. Without a sufficient amount of this vapor the most gigantic drive wheels and the most perfect system of multiplying revolutions would be useless.
 His ready acceptance of this fact proved to practical railroad men that he knew what he was about and from the tests that have already been made there is every reason to believe that he has accomplished his purpose. His new locomotive has shown it's capabiity of doing more work at less cost than any ether engine in use in the New York Central system and if its durability is proved the invention will unquestionably create a revolution in modern locomotive construction
 One of the features of the new boiler is a corrugated furnace, GA inches in diameter and il feet IA inches long, placed eccen- trically in the back of the boiler shell which is S5 5-S inches in diameter at the furnace part. Sling stays support the big tube from the top in front of the tube sheet, and in the back it is Hanged to the outside sheets
 One of the greatest advantages of this Vanderbilt firebox is that 1t can easily be taken out and put back again. In the ordinary locomotive there are usually more than 1,5O0 staybolts in firebox and when it is necessary to make repairs these must first be taken out. In this new locomotive however, the firebox has no staybolts. It Is riveted to the back end of the engine and is supported in front by sling stays.
 For years locomotive designers have been trying to get rid of these staybots. 1t was admitted that they were a nuiance but, with the old design, the firebox, not being
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

a cylinder, was incapable of withstanding the pressure to which it was subjected with out the use of such bolts. In the Wander bilt locomotive the total absence of the staybolts makes it possible to remove the firebox by simply cutting few rivets at one end To practical railroad men the advantage of such an improvement makes the invention one of the most important of recent years.
 In the new locomotive there is cast iron support for the gate thirty inches back of the tube sheet, and brick wall twenty inches high is built above this. That part of the furnace in front of the brick wall forms a combustion chamber The ashes pass through large opening at the bottom of the furnace into the ash pan beneath. There Is a small opening to facilitate the removal of ashes that may have accumuI- 9ted in the combustion chamber
 Some idea of the size of the new
