officials, and many people who have
only an indirect interest in railroading.
Many visitors were at the round house
yesterday for the purpose of inspecting
the wonderful engine.
Another engine of the same size as
98S Is being built for the Santa Fe at
the An erican locomotive works, at
Schenectady, N. Y.
Engine No. 9sS is being set up at the
shops here, and will leave in a few days
under it's own steam for the western
part of the line, where it will be in SER
vice. The engine is built for consuming
oil as fuel, but is also adapted for coa4,
is of the decapod compound type, hay
ing two cylinders on each side and be-
ing supported by five pairs of driving
wheels.
The leading dimensions of the mon
Ster follow: The boiler at the smallest
ring is rs inches in diameter; at the
largest, SIS inches The fire box is 9 feet
long and 79 inches wide. In the boiler
there are Alb flues each having diam
eter of two and a half inches and a
length of IS feet 6 inches. 1t has a
working pressure of 225 pounds of steam
to the square inch. The wheel base is
20 feet; total wheel base % feet IL
inches; total wheel base of engine and
tender, 81 feet OF the cylinders the
high pressure are seventeen and a half
inches in diameter; the low pressure 30
inches; stroke "a inches. The valves are
of the piston type. The diameter of
each of the driving wheels is 81 inches.
The machine stands Is feet inches

ing about the same height. The tender
has a capacity of 1000 gallons of water
and 1850 gallons of oil. 1t is equipped
with the Westinghouse air brake, and
also has the water brake with which
all locomotives are arranged in the
mountains. By means of it the brakes
are kept in operation when the air gives
out. The total weight of the engine
alone is 262 900 pounds and of engine
and tank 1885, 900 pounds, steam ed up
and ready for service.
1t will go out in a day or two to Cali
fornia where it is to do work perman-
emily. Coal will be used in taking it
over the line to that part of the system.

FRANK COLLIER'S BRAIN
Mounted on Glass Slides For Micro
gcopic Examination.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Siced into minute
flecks and mounted on glass slides, the
late Frank Golfers brain is being sub
jected to the searching sight of mic
roscope under the trained eye of a
nerve pathologist. DR.. Thorrothstein, of
the University of Chicago.
The first discovery of Importance was
made today, when the doctor announc-
ed that he had found some peculiar de-
generation of the brain cells of the once
brilliant attorney. AS a result of the
discovery it is said that theory that
Frank Golfers insanity was due to
blow on the head may have to be alter
ed substantially. The brain has been in
process of preparation for the micro
scope for some time, and it is expected
that the study of the cells will not be
completed for some two months.

0'NEIL DEFENDS HEAVY
ARMAMENT OF NAVY
Continued from First PageJ

battIeships Of the North Atlantis fleet
have expended for this purpose, within
twelve months, quarter OF q million
dollars worth of ammunition, or about
two and q half times their ordinary al
lowance.
Concerning this. Admiral O'NeiI says:
How many men profted by this great
outlay. how proficient they became. OF
what has become of them the bureau IS
unable 20 say. but 1t is quite evident
that some tangible result oughz to be
apparent from so large an expenditure
OF money for training purposes. for even
the richest nation must count the cost
of the maintenance OF its naval estab-
IishmenI. and The country has a right to
demand reasonable returns in the shape
OF increased efficiency for its outlay"
Admiral O-Neil makes an appeal for the
exercise of the greatest care in select
ing men as gun pointers He says that
he is convinced that the training Of gun
pointers is the most important matter
in connection with the enlisted person
rel that the Navy Department has to
consider today. He insists that once a
man becomes an efficient gun pointer, no
pains OF expense should be spared to re
( tain his services, ''for he is the most
/ important man in the ship-the most
costly TO train and the most difficult to
get"
Attention is called to the fact that
there have been two explosions on sub
marine torpedo boats under rather Pc
culiar circumstances. He gives detailed
accounts of the explosions. calling at
tention to the danger Of improper ven
/ tiIation and the generation Of explosive
gases in these vessels, and adds that
these accounts are not given for the
purpose Of discrediting submarines, but
rather as useful and Interesting infoT-
