Life Shorter Than Hitherto.
From the New York Post.
The announcement that the New York
Central Railroad has just placed orders in
Schenectady for twenty new Mogul en-
gines and ten new passenger engines, calls
attention to the disposition of locomotives
which, in the course of time, have worn
out and become useless for the work fer
which they were originally intended On
a large railroad, such as the New York
Central, engines are dropping out of SER
vice continually from one cause or an
other The superintendent of motive
power, therefore, has to open up all sorts
of channels through which the old ma,
chimes can be disposed Of.
In old times, it was not unusual for an
engine to remain in service, even on the
large railroads, for more than twenty
years. There are instances recorded in
which an engine has been in use after
forty years OF continuous work. OF late,
however, heavy trains and high speed have
contributed materially to shorten Their
lives. The average life of a freight en-
CINE under modern conditions is about
twelve years, while that of a passenger
Early in the history of railroading, and
in fact until quite recently there was
regular system of progression, or, rather,
depression, for the locomotives. 1t was
an understood thing in the department Of
motive power, that the newest machine
pulled out the fasest train, the supplanted
locomotive being detailed to the train next
in importance. Passenger engines became
freight engines. after their period of USE
fulness for pulling fast trains had explr-
ed. After they had finally become so worn
out that they were not even equal to the
task of pulling a local freight in old times
it was customary either TO break them up
for junk or convert them into switch en-
gnes.
Now, however, the requirements in a
freight and passenger-engine are SO entire-
ly different that except in certain cases.
it is impossible to convert one into the
other. The passenger-engine Of to-day is
built with speed as the prime object while
the freight engine is intended to move
tremendous weight al comparatively low
speed. The life of a locomotive at the
present time therefore, is greatly short
ened. and unless there happens TO be a
shortage Of switch engines, or a need for
passenger engines on a branch road the
machines are either sold to another small
or, road or broken up into junk as soon :
they are condemned IN the grade for which
they were originally intended
The New York Central some time ago
ordered a large number Of locomotives of
a design which they expected would prove
particularly valuable for freight engines.
The locomotives when competed did not
fulnu expectations. and IL was, therefore.
decided to convert them into switch en-
gines This was done, and as the engines
are new and are giving perfect satisfac-
lion. The majority Of the old locomotives

IOSrMEN On STRIKE


No Mail Being Delivered by Regular Car
riers in Paris-Business Circle Disturbed.
Paris, May 1S.-Owing to the refusal
of the Senate to vote the bill providing
increased pay for postmen, recently
passed by the Chamber of Deputies,
about 500 postmen refused to go to
work to-day, and later the whole force
numbering 5000 men, went on strike.
AS result there were no mail deliver
les this morning. The men are stand
ing in groups outside the postoffice.
Later the postmen held an open-air
meeting around the postoffice and were
addressed by Under Postal Secretary
Mougeot, who vainly urged them to re-
turn to work. The strikers responded
by demanding an increase of pay.
The postoffice was besieged by bust
ness men this morning, who demanded
their letters. M. Mougeot has arrang-
ed for delivery this afternoon. The
sorting is being done by clerks who
have been placed at the disposal OF
the postoffice authorities by the big
commercial houses and banks. They
are under the direction of the auxiliary
sorters. The mail will then be deliv-
cred by soldiers, conducted by police
men.
The absence of regular mail de-
livery has caused great disturbance in
business circles.
The Cabinet met to-day. considered
the strike and decided to severely pun
ish the leaders.

This is the first year in the history
of the Bellaire High school when there
were more boys than girls in the grad
uating class In most classes here and
elsewhere the girls outnumbered the
boys two to one, but this season the
reverse is true here. A clever teacher
who has been looking about for a cause
for this anomaly gives very plaus-
ible explanation for it. She says that
during the period of industrial depres-
sion there was less inducement for boys
to go to work in the mills and factories
and consequently larger percent of
them stayed in school. 1t is a notable
fact that great many boys drop out
in the grammar school and during
their first years experience in the High
school. If they stick to their books
until their junior year is reached the
chances are good for their completing
the course.
