Largest Engine Built.

At present the largest and most pow
erful express engine in existence has
just been built for the Chicago and Alton
Railway. This and a sister engine have
been built especially for the heavy pass
enger excursion which will be run in
connection with the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton.
The duty of these engines will be to
haul trains made up of IL passenger
cars and weighing about 500 tons. ex-
elusive of passengers and baggage. Such
train will accommodate 766 people,
whose aggregate weight would not be
less than 81 tons, and estimating their
baggage at Is tons. the total weight of
the train behind the engine will be 675
tons.
Such train will have to be hauled
110Lz miles in 21a hours. making two
stops and three slowdowns for railway
crossings. This will reduce the actual
running time to 2 hours and "a minutes,
and necessitates an average running
speed of IS miles per hour.
The cylinders are % inches in diane
ter by % inches stroke; the driving
wheels are so inches in diameter. and
the working steam pressure is 220
pounds to the square inch. The engine
is carried on II wheels, forward truck,
six connected driving wheels, and a
trailer beneath the firebox.
The total weight On the driving wheels
is IA, 700 pounds the total weight of en-
CINE being 219, 800 pounds. and the total
weight of the engine and tender is about
374, 900 pounds.
The tractive effort is 81, 500 pounds
that is, il the tender drawbar were at
tached to a dynamometer, it would reg
| lister over 10 tons.-Scientifc American.

LIFE ON BOUNDING SEA
BLUE TO NAVAL RECRUIT
1t Takes Month or Two Before He Acquires Sea Habit

The phrase acquiring the sea habit"
which is frequently used in connection
with the training of recruits in the navy
carries 10 the lay mind something of
an impression OF a rolling gait, a
chronic hitching at the waistband of the
trousers, saline vocabulary, and
canny knowledge of the brands OF eat
Ing tobacco. The Navy Department
knows the epoch as one in which the
recruit is learning TO make himself
comfortable aboard ship, and during
which he is liable TO fits OF depression.
in which more things than sea water
look blue. 1t is the period in which the
romance of a life on the rolling deep
becomes temporarily obscured and life
seems hard.
During such a period the recruit is
likely to write to his family or his Con-
gresham in such terms as seem to war
rant an abolition OF the service. and a
considerable part of the work of the
Navy Department lies in assuring in
curing friends that the recruit Will feel
better when he gets over IT. II the in
vestigation which is made in each case
of complaint happens TO cover some
weeks, it is likely TO get to the recruit
about the time he is beginning to take
notice and enjoy himself, and he is quite
willing 10 admit that things look diff
ferent'
In a recent case the recruit appealed
with great earnestness for relief; he
had not only been enlisted under mis-
representations. but the food, the living
conditions. the associations were IN
bearable. This was in the last days of
March. Before the middle of April he
had stated TO his commanding officer.
to quote the official report. that at the
time (the date of his letters) he was
feeling somewhat depressed and dis
couraged, and admits that in his tenn
porary frame OF mind he did make such
statements that he now feels would give
n wrong impression as to the actual
facts of the case. Now that he has be-
come more acquainted on board. he feels
in a better frame of mind than he did
when he wrote the letters"
In fact. his frame OF mind was so
much better that he was very willing to
admit that what he had previously writ
ten was without foundation. except as II
had impressed him through his home
sickness and newness TO his surround
ings. II Is the desire OF the Navy De
partment to impress two things on re
cruits, their relatives. and friends. The
first Is. recruits should be very sure
they want TO go to sea, and they should
understand they must pass through a
period OF some discomfort while ex-
changing the shore FOR the sea habit;
and the second is. man once enlisted
must serve his full term OF enlistment:
having made the contract there is no
backing out. for under the regulations
Of the department no discharge will be
granted except for disability; distaste
for the life, or family considerations
cannot be considered.

now TO be honored.
General Manager Clark is one of the
few millionaire railroad managers, and
prefers the active life of railroad man
to one less arduous. He is personal
friend of the general officers of the
Southern, and will spend several days in
Washington on his return from Fred

Fast Trains to the West.

The Pennsylvania road has decided to
place two more fast trains on the road
between New York and Chicago. 1t Is
said they will be faster than the limited.
These trains were in operation last win
ter, but the congested condition of the
freight yards and sidings along the line
delayed the trains so frequently and
blocked travel so often 1t was neces-
sary to take them off until the conges-
ton was relieved. The Chesapeake and
Ohio road was troubled with the same
difficulty and the management of that
line took off a fast train. leaving Wash
ington every evening at o'clock. This
train will be replaced.
