COAL ON PASSENGER ENGINES.
The Amount Required for a Trip Is
Figured Out by the Engineer
TO n Nicely.

"The travelling public has peculiar
ideas as to the quantity of coal con-
sumed on passenger trains" explained
an old locomotive engineer recently,
land not one in n hundred ever get it
anywhere near right. The great ma
iority Of them get it all the way from
ten to twenty times too large, though
now and then there are some who get
it dreadfully small.
"The consumption of coal on passen-
ger trains is by no means haphazard
affair, for it is known to a nicely how
much it takes, though, of course,
locomotive engineer, to be on the safe
side and ready for any ordinary emer-
gency, always carries more coal than
he will need on a run. Under some
conditions of the weather, and espe-
cially when the wind is strong, much
more coal is used than is necessary at
other times. Sometimes, also, the
steam-malting capacity of coal is con-
siderably reduced. This is especially
the case where bituminous coal is used,
but with the harder, the anthracite,
the consumption rarely varies.
Take a train from New York to
Washington as an instance. Three
tons will take n train through the trip,
though four to four and half are gem
orally carried. A half q ton Of coal
will run an ordinary trip or an ordi-
nary train Of four coaches and bag

"The rulcis three and half pounds
of coal for each car and II pounds for
the locomotive for each mile it runs.
When fast time is necessary an extra
amount is used, but the quantities
stated arc about the average. OF course

Poison I'm the Lily of the valley.

A German botanist has disc overed
that the pretty flower known as the
lily of the valley contains a poison of
the most deadly kind. Not only the
flower itself, but also the stem as well,
contains an appreciate quantity of
prussic acid. While injecting decoc-
tion of lily of the valley into the ear
of "a guinea pig he noticed the animal
succumbed Immediately, with all the
symptoms of poisoning by hydrocy-
anic acid. Chemical analysis of the
little plant has disclosed, however, the
presence of this poisonous constit-
uent, to whicht-strange to say-sci-
entists attribute precisely the pene-
trating perfume of the lily of the val
ley. The attention of the German
botanist has been drawn by the fact
that one of his gardeners has felt him
self seized with dizziness and vomiting
after having raised inadvertently a
bunch of lilies of the valley to his
mouth, the lips of which were cracked.

"As a rule" sold the engineer, ac-
cording to the Washington Star, "the
fireman and engineer learn firing in
the same school of experience and it is
seldom that they do not work togeth-
