Monkey Dentistry in n street Car
From The Philadelphia Record.

'NNN+
An itinerant musician who daily grinds
out operate airs and popular songs on a
street piano at Bridgeport. opposite Nor
rlstown, and his monkey, were a misera-
BILE pair as they sat in a trolley car on
the way 10 this city the other morning
The monkey was squealing and holding
one of its paws to its mouth, while tears
flowed copiously. The master could not
console the animal and a well-dressed
man who sat opposite asked what caused
the monkeys suffering. "He gotta da pain
In da toot," was the reply. II tinka he
goin' to die, but wanta Ia get him to
city" The questioner asked permission
TO examine the monkeys mouth, and, aft
er looking at it, he produced a vial and
allowed a few drops of a liquid to fall
on the gums The animal ceased squeal-
ing. Then the eympathzing man got the
Italian to hold the monkeys mouth open
when he inserted a pair Of forceps he
took from his pocket and drew out the
troublesome tooth. The monkey yelled
once, and then showed the relief IL felt
While the owner was wiping the blood
from its mouth the dentist left the car
and shook his head good-naturedly when
the street musician called after him:
Comma back an gitta you mon."

rrNIEsT. LOCOMOTIVE EVER BUILT.

The smallest locomotive ever built mas
been constructed by an Ohio man. Ihat
r. II is the smallest locomotive which lays
any claim to being absolutely complete
and perfect capable of behaving on a
track as creditably and efficiently as the
big threatening-loo engine which
draws the heavy trains on a great railroad.
Smaller engines have been toys. This one,
far from being toy, Is as perfect as any
locomotive ever turned out to draw trains,
although 1t runs on a track the gauge OF
which Is only five and quarter inches.
The builder Is a machinist, Richard Fl.
Riddle, who resides In Kinsman, o. Partly
to test his own knowledge and Ingenuity
and partly to amuse his 3-year-old son, he
constructed the locomotive. The length
of engine and tank is 60 inches. The tank
holds twelve quarters of water and the
steam pressure is as great as 125 pounds.
The driving wheels are 61z inches In di-
ameter and the fire box measures 6 inches.
The weight of the engine and tank, with
out the coal and water, Is 1854 pounds.
A tiny tool box is on the tank, and con-
tains little tools. Inside the cab are
steam gauge, injector, throttle valve,
gauge, cocks. whistle lever, reverse lever
and other necessary bars and handles
There are even cushions on the seats in
tended for the engineer and fireman. The
engine runs on solid brass tracks, which
rest on ties one-half by three-fourths
of an inch.
The engine has attracted persons from
far and near to Mr.. Riddles shop, and 1t
has been pronounced the most perfect
thing of its kind ever constructed. There
is not a single feature of an up-to-date To-
connective that Is lacking, and could an en-
gineer sufficiently dmunitive be found and
the tracks extended. there would be moth
ing 10 prevent the said dlmlnutiye engin-
Ger from turning the throttle and rushing
off in the locomotive wherever the tracks
should lead, al rate which would not be
despised by the biggest engine on any rail-
road.
