OIL AS LOCOMOTIVE FUEL,

The Use of Texas Oil in Locomotives Giving
Good Results.
Inquiries made into the question OF
the use of fuel by the Railroad Gazette,
of New York, show that number Of
roads in the Southwest are seriously
considering the use of Texas oil for
locomotive fuel, while few roads now
service
The International & Great Northern
has been experimenting with fuel oil
in locomotives and oil-burning pas
senger, freight and switching engines
are now in service and giving good re-
suits. 1t is thought that in the near
future all engines of the Gulf division
of this road will be equipped for burn.
ing oil. Mr.. F. Hufsmith, the superin-
tendent of motive power, says that at
present prices there is a saving OF
about 20 per cent in favor of fuel oil,
and roads running directly into the oil
fields make a still larger saving, nav
ing no freight to pay on the oil. His
opinion is that fuel oil will be univer-
sally used by the roads in that section
Of the country if present conditions
prevail Mr.. Hufsmith considers tue
following the chief advantages of oil
over coal-burning engines: There is
no danger of setting out fires along the
right-of-way and no need to clean fires
at terminals; there are no cinders to
be handled and the annoyance to pas
sengers from cinders and smoke from
the locomotive is overcome.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe has
Is engines converted from coal to oil
burning engines and expects to con-
vert 75 engines as soon as possible.
This road apparently has its plans
more definitely made than the other
Texas lines. The economy in using oil
instead of coal is found to range from
% to 40 per cent, the latter figure be-
ing obtained near the oil-felds where
the price of coal has been high. The
former figure applies near the source
Of the roads coal supply.
The Southern Pacific expects to equip
for oil-burning locomotives on it's
Louisiana lines in Eastern Texas. The
apparatus will be similar to that now
used on Southern Pacific locomotives
distributed between Oakland, Cal, and
Ell Paso, Texas. With reference to the
Pacific system, which has used fuel oil
for number of years, Mr.. ]. H. Small
says that 149 locomotives are now
equipped to burn oil.
The Mexican Central has made draw
ings for oil-burning apparatus suitable
for its locomotives, but as yet nothing
has been done in the way of changing
its engines.

A Mothers Love.

There is beautiful old legend thai
at creations dawn an angel came down
to earth seeking something to take
back with it to Heaven. 1t returned
with a boquet of flowers, a baby's
smiles and mothers love. When 1t
reached the pearly gates of paradise
again, the flowers had withered, The
baby's smiles had vanished, but the
mothers love was found to be as pure
and eternal as the waters that flowed
by the Heavenly throne, and all the
angels exclaimed: There is nothing
on earth pure enough for heaven but a
mothers love!" What a sublime
thought and holy moral this old Iegend
illustrates and teaches to moral crea-
lures.

eff l ever should be called upon to

her mvariabIe rule of dressing up III
her best clothes when she goes out to
commit suicide. In my experience on
the force 1 have had occasion to handle
good many suicides and afterward
investigate their personal affairs, and
in every instance l have found that the
poor unfortunates prepared themselves
for death by DOMINIC their best bib and
tucker.
THE majority of the printed reports
OF suicides say that the clothes of t!
dead woman were good, or we.
made or elegant If the woman CO
templating suicide owns a silk
she wears it. Her broadcloth SIT (.
silk petticoat naturally go with t.
garment, and she selects her bust
shoes.
Il have looked up the history CT
many of these especially clad suicides
and have fount that they owned hut
one gown with Oh they could make
decent appearance on the street, ana
that that one good dress was chosen,
without exception, as the appropriate
garb in which to make the exit from
this worlds stage. 1t makes no differ
ence what manner of death is chosen,
the costume is carefully selected.
Let a woman sleep her life away
under the influence of drugs, or burn
her soul out with acids, or sink into
the slime of the river, she clothes her
self in her most becoming garments
and seeks the end with apparent tran
! guilty. Her instinct of gentility and

shrinks from a public appearance in
