A MECHANICAL MARVEL.
What sixty Miles an Hour lean to-
the Locomotive.

What Sixty Miles an Hour Means to-
the Locomotive.
1t all sounds simple In the recital.
The wonder Of the thing IN into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrous
parts are made TO do then duty. The
piston and connecting bar OF a modern
locomotive weigh some GOO pounds.
When the speed is 90 miles m hour,
these parts travel back and forth Ave
times a second. Ten times a second,
at the end Of every stroke, the piston
head is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to a velocity OF 1880 feet per
minute I'm one-twentieth of a second.
The drive wheels measure more than
q rod al every revolution. but when
going 90 miles On hour they must turn
more than 800 times a minute.
Sixty miles nm hour Is the merest
to date railroad man, but 1t means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful TO the outsider. IL
means q steam pressure blow Of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
OF a second. II mean that up In the
cab the fireman Is throwing into the
furnace t~wo-thirds OF n ton OF coal
every hour. No. 800 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine II. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her Journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. 1t meal that
the engine with It's half dozen r and
load Of human freight Ia moving
through space with twice the power OF
q shot from q 100 ton gun. II means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she can use every
n or steam. that he ls coaxing her
as n Jockey urges his mount In q fierce
race, and yet 1t means that he Is ready
at a seconds notice TO move the re-
versing lever and apply the airbrakes
