The Lutte Locomotive at shellpot Park
Makes Great Hit.
The miniature steam railroad train,
one of the latest and most interesting
amusement features OF Shellpot Parx
and Mains Grove, has made a great
hit, especially with the children and
mechanics. The children regard 1t as
a decidedly animated toy and enjoy the
novelty OF ride, while the mechanics
look upon 1t as a marvel OF the ms
chanic arts. The children look upon
the little train Ms curiosity placed
there for their especial amusement,
while grown folks see in it the embodi-
ment Of the vital principles which have
brought about the perfection OF rail.
reading of the present day, one uf the
greatest achievements Of all time.
The little locomotive was built ty
George Wisner and Clinton Wanamaker,
both OF Philadelphia, the young men
who are operating it at the park. The
task required about is months, but as
matter of fact there was only about a
year of actual work. The engine is
modelled something on the order OF ths
Philadelphia 4 Reading turtle, backs
which pull the express trains between
Philadelphia and New York. The
entire length of the engine and tender
Is s3a feet and the height is ~ inches.
The cylinders have a four-inch stroke
and 21s- inch bore. The driving wheels
are 10 inches in diameter and the small
wheels 81 inches. The engine runs
without links and has only two &c.
oentrios, which are fast to the driving
s&les- 1t goes backward JUST as well as
forward. Heat is derived from coal in
a regulation Wooten fire box, which
is IL inches long and eight inches wide.
The steam generating part of the boiler
Is Just as complete, there being 10 one
ipch tubes. The engine runs at $50
pounds pressure. while the boiler will
stand $50 pounds. The engine and
tender weigh between 700 and 500
pounds. 1t Is said to be the smallest
locomotive put to actual business use

lighted with their achievement. They

WASHINGTON STREET BRIDGE.
A. n. Morrison Believes the Structure is
Strong Enough to Bear Trolley Cars.

A. II. Morrison Believes the Structure is
Strong Enough to Bear Trolley Cars.
Alvin R. Morrison of the Delaware
Construction Co., the contractor for
Washington street bridge, which was
built in 1891, doesf' not agree with the
opinion, expressed by some, that the
bridge ia not strong enough to bear
trolley car. At the time the Levy
Court was preparing to build the
bridge, it was not intended that it
should be used by trolley cars, among
the reasons being the desire to have
one road coming into town that was
not crossed by railroad or used by a
trolley line. Persons interested 10 the
Boulevard also wanted it kept free OF
tracks. Sentiment against the use Of
the bridge for trolley purposes has
changed great deal and now facilities
are desired by the Washington Heights
residents. @
"0f course the bridge will carry the
cars, said Mr.. Morrison this morning.
but IL they add more floor beams, as
suggested, they will weaken instead oil
strengthen 1t, as there Is already a
floor beam at every panel point; and a
beam put between would have to rest
on q chord between panel points.
That would simply be adding
weight without strength.
1.-THE bridge is built to stand a
weight of lbs pounds to the square
foot with factor OF safety of four,
which means that it will stand 500
pounds to the square foot before break
ing down. One Of the smaller cars
loaded weighs ABOUT l5 tons. The
bridge trusses should bear 1880 POUNDS
and it would take Is tons to the run.
ming foot to break the structure A
15-ton car would not have a weight Of
10 tons to the running foot for its
weight would be distributed. A double
track car would give a better dis.
tribution OF tha weight. A crowd on
the bridge is heavier strain than a
trolley car"

Fish is always best for breakfast

either Dreamed in little baking dishes
or made into a simple soutfle. Little
fish are also good, from the ordinary

most ari5tocratie il it's bones are re-
moved, and it is out iuto strips four
inches long and one wide, rolled into
turbans pinned with wooden toothpieks
and fried in deep tat. A bed of water
cress with garnish of lemon adds still
more to It's appearance. At most fish
markets this way OF preparing founders
! is understood, and for cent pound

accompaniment for a breakfast dish Of

he was first notified of the affair the mes
sage over the telephone announced that
the car was bringing up from the juno

wagon be sent. 1t was probably twenty
minutes later when a second message
stated that the man was apparently still
alive, ana asked for an ambulance.
