This kind of boiler used in stationary
engines is a success, but OF what value
it viii be on a locomotive remains to be
seen.
The boiler is of three quarters inch
iron and is 761a inches in diameter. AS
will be seen by the cuts, the boiler is
round throughout its entire length, and
is of uniform diameter, with the eXcep-
ton of a small projection at the front.
On top of this projection will be placed
the SmOkestack.

the top of the outer shell, will be two

smoke to the stack, where it passes out
into the air. Between the inner tube
and the outer shell viii be placed the

RAILROAD NEWS.
New Style Locomotive Building
at Santa Fe Shops.
Will Be Equipped With a Ma
rine Tubular Boiler.
1T is AN INNOVATION.
Maine Boiler Never Tried on a
Locomotive Before.
Expected to Furnish Greater
Heat With Less Fuel.
1t is AN INNOVATION.

"A new style locomotive is now being
built at the Santa F'e shops in this city.
1t is equipped with a Morrison tubular
boiler, probably better known as
Scotch marine boiler.
This locomotive will be a monster. 1t
will be similar in many ways to an or
binary locomotive. but the machinery
and equipment will be somewhat differ
ent owing to its adaptation to the needs
of the new style boiler.
The new locomotive is far from be-
ing finished, but the work of completion
is being rushed ahead at a rapid rate,
and it should be turned out of the
shops early in December. The boiler is
entirely done, and several OF the cast
ings are made. but much work still re-
mains. It is possible the locomotive VIII
not be ready for service before the first
OF the year.
The building of this style of Iocomo-
tive is more of an experiment than
anything else and its projectors. as
well many of the machinists about
the shops, are anxious to have it finish
ed and its merits thoroughly tested.

JEFFRIES IN KANSAS CITY.
Pugilist Will Attend Boilermakers
Ball

Kansas City. Nov. 14-James J. JEFF
fries will be in Kansas City on Friday
night, November "A. to attend the ninth
annual ball of the International Broth
erhOOd of Boiler makers. to be given at
that time at Casino hail.
Champion Jeffries is now at Hot
Springs. He replied TO the invitation
of the local committee some day ago,
and definitely accepted the invitation
and he viii run UP from Hot Springs
for the occasion.
Jefries himself is a boiler maker by
trade and is a member of the union.
This was the reason the invitation was
extended and doubtless the reason why
it was so readily accepted The local
members have felt that they would like
to honor a member of their craft who
had Won renoWn in other fields of en-
deavor, 50 the invitation was extended.
The local committee is asking pre-
paratiOns for a big event. The presence
of the famous pugilist will, it is believ-
ed, attract a large crowd to the ball It

the front, air will be supplied by means

on either side for support. The bed of
the saddles viii be bolted to the frame
and the upper part of the saddle, free
to move on the lower by means of the
f1anges, will be bOlted to the boiler
shell.
one of the Hanged saddles will be
placed at the extreme rear end of the
boiler, and the other about midway.

QUICK ELECTRIC SERVICE.
Joplin Galena Electric Line to Be
Greatly Improved.

Joplin. Missouri. November IA
The Southwest Missouri Electric Rail-
way company has received four cars Of
steel rails, which are being unloaded on
the Missouri Pacific Blendsville extern
sion near the Ga1ena road. These rails
are to be used on the extension to
Riceville and for a double track the
greater part of the distance between
Joplin and GaIena. Two switches of
two miles in length each are to be con-
structed one on this end and the other
near Galena. This is for the purpose of
lessening the time between Joplin and
Galena, as it is intended to put on four
or five cars and make the trip between
the cities in 20 minutes.
The schedule will be arranged so that
the cars can pass at any point on the
lengthy switches and there will be no
waits. The six new cars that have just
arrived are to be used on the Joplin
Galena division. which is said to be the
best paying portion of the line.
A large car barn is being erected in
the east portion of GaIena and two
crews of train men will reside there.
