RAILWAYS OF one ENGINE.
In England There Are Ten Railroads
with No More Locomotives.


Most people would be inclined to re-
gard it as an impossibility for n rail-
way to be worked with IL single loco
motive, but there are i'll Great Britain
no fewer than ten railway companies
that manage to get through their work
somehow with one iron steed. No
fewer than fourteen own only two loco.
motives.
One of the most interesting of these
small lines is what is known as the
Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. stu.
ated near Whitchhven, in Cumberland,
which runs from Ravcnglass to Boot,
ii distance of rather more than seven
miles. The whole of the railway staff
consists only of five persuasive plate
layers, eng%ine-driver, fireman and one
guard-ofAll-work, If we may use such
IL term.
Between stations the engine occa-
siOnally manages to gain II speed of six
miles an hour. hut the obliging driver
Is always willing to stop the engine
for the convenience of any one who
may wish to enter or alight from the
train between stopping places.
Perhaps the Easingwold Railway is
the smallest in England. 1t is two
miles long, and the extent of its rolling
stock is one small locomotive and two
passenger vehicles.
The Hundred of Manhood and Selsey
Tramway is one of the most recently
opened light railways. and connects
the city of Chichester with Selsey Bill,
a small promontory to the cas-, of
Portsmouth. jutting out into the En-
glish channel.
This funny little railway boasts of
no signaling apparatus whatever, and
the few switches OH the railway are
controlled by hand levers alongside the
tirelnen or driver when necessary.
At one place the line crosses the Chi
chester canal by means Of a frail draw
bridge. which is lifted to let boats
underneath. 1t is stated that for the
first few weeks after the opening of
the line II barge was left underneath
in order to catch the train in case the
bridge gave way!
On another occasion this troublesome
bridge got stuck. and in spite of all
efforts could not be lowered. AS it was
most important that the engine should
be taken to the other side of the canal,
1t was lifted off the line and drawn
round by road with a traction engine

Sale of seats opens at the Salt Lake
Theatre this morning for the Spider

One of the big events of the season
will be that of the Bostonians at the
Theatre next week. From all indica-
tions, the engagement will be too brief
to accommodate all who wish to enjoy
the visit of the company.
Tim Murphy, who was SO well liked
in Salt Lake during his visit last year,
and was reported critically i'll at Osh-
kosh, Wis, is said to be on the road to
recovery.
Professor Stephens received a tele-
gram yesterday from Rosenthars man
ager, stating that the date for his con-
cert in the Tabernacle would be
changed to Saturday, May 20. This is
very welcome news for the public of
Salt Lake, and a wise decision on the
part of the management. There is no
doubt but that the famous pianist will
be accorded a royal welcome in Salt
Lake and will be -doubly appreciated
now that a successful effort has been
made to accommodate the OrpheuS Club
subscribers. In this way, both events
can be engaged, and Salt Lake will
truly have a. musical feast the week
of May Is, with the Steindel company,
the Kneisel Quartette, and Rosenthal.
Rosenthal is one of the greatest of
living pianists, and his visit TO Salt
Lake, arranged as it is with no counter
attraction, should be one of the great
events of our musical history.

The tornado season is just opening.
May and June are the harvest months
for cyclones. Every year the United
States is visited by about twenty five
able-bodied storms that may be classed
as destructive. So we are informed by
Professor H. F. Bigelow of the Wash
ington weather bureau.
They are not only accompanied by
many fatalities, in some instances
scores OF bodies have been strewn along
the path of a single cyclone. but great
damage is caused to property in the
densely populated and well-improved
districts OF the Mississippi valley.
The record shows that from 1889 to
1896 property to the value of $31, OOO, 900
was wrecked. As much as SOB OOO. 900 of
this can he. charged to three tornado
hurricanes which passed through re-
gions Of dense population. one of these

1896 cost that city 49, 900, and the
one which swept through Washington,

worth Of property. The latter storm is
described as a hurricane with tornado
features. The rotary velocity of the
wind on the occasion OF the st. Louis
tornado was 115 miles an hour which
is equivalent to a pressure of ninety
pounds to a square foot.

An iron fence runs in front of a resi-

which extends the entire length of the

other episode of the Philippine con-

ranks:
Company I had taken a few prisoners

up into line time after time and finally
sent Captain Bishop back to start them.
There occurred the hardest sight l ever
