MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE
Wonderful Compound Engine Being
Built for B. and O.

The following description of a new To-
connective for the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road appears In the New York Herald:
The supreme example in heavy locomo-
tive construction is the articulated COM
pound now being built by the American
Locomotive Works for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. and which is to
weigh 2s5.OOO pounds-all on the drivers
says the Railway and Engineering Review.
The locomotive will have six pairs of driv-
Ing wheels. fifty-six inches in diameter
The rear three are rigid and are driven
by high pressure cylinders. The forward
three are mounted in separate frame
which swings freely under the boiler, and
are driven by low pressure cylinders, TAX
ing their steam from the high pressure
cylinders of the rear set of drivers The
high pressure cylinders are twenty inches
in diameter and the low pressure ones
thirty-two. while the stroke of both sets
of engines is thirtytwo inches.
The boiler will carry a steam pressure
of 235 pounds. The tube heating surface
will comprise Abs square feet and the
frebox heating surface 100 square feet or
total of 4.325 square feet The total
weight of the engine and tender will be
415,00O pounds. The tender will carry .OO0
gallons of water and thirteen tons Of coal

cred that they were catalpas 1 decided to

planted all but one, and this one was about

l noticed that all the leaves on it were

over its roots and poured a little water
over the sack to keep the roots damp. This

as the willow or the cherokee bush, and it
would be an excellent tree to make rail-
road ties from. I heard that one Of the
railroad companies had planted about 800
trees in Louisiana to cultivate them for tie
purposes. Ten to one this company has a
great scheme and one which will cause the
cypress tree to be laid aside, so far as

roads Are Now Planting Them.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Speaking of hard trees reminds me of
the catalpa," said a man who farms out
in one of the Louisiana parishes. This is
one of the hardest trees-hardest to kill and
hardest to cut-that know of. 1 have had
an exceedingly singular experience with
some catalpa trees which is worth relating,
and what I will say will demonstrate that
the kind of tree in question is among the
hardest trees in the land. Some time back
a little negro ran into our lot with q small
bunch of young trees that were about eight
inches long A tag was tied to the bunch
of trees, and, thinking 1t singular that the
boy should be in possession of the bunch. I
asked him where he had got the trees.
Found dem in de road he said, handing
them to me. The name on the tag had been
worn away and the negro boy had been
twisting the trees as II trying to tie them
into a knot. The overseer came up just
then and said the trees were poplar, and
that they were dead.
II gave them back to the negro About
fifteen days afterward found them In an
other part of the lot. just for curiosity
sake I planted them. l. wanted to see II

WOMEN AS PHOTOGRAPHERS.
Field for Maids or Maidens Of Good
Taste and Desire for Independence.

From tn. New York Sun
Several men and women were talking
about woman's work and the possibilities
of her success in the professions, when a
man who had evidently given some thought
to the subject took the floor and made the
following remarks. which may be helpfully
suggestive to capable women who have
not yet entered upon their appropriate ca
reers:
mo finer opportunity for professional
success is presented to women especially
to young women" he said, than may be
found in the practically unoccupied field
of photography. This is at once art, a
profession and a business and young wo-
men who might hesitate at law or medicine,
or would decline to sell groceries or real
estate. or would be unequal to a career in
art as the term is generally understood,
can find in photography a combination
which answers all their requirements and
removes all doubt as to the propriety of
women in the professions.
Possibly in the largest cities the oppor-
tunity is less than in smaller communities,
because in these cities higher standards are
demanded, more money is required and
competition is greater. But in the lesser
cities and in the towns the field Is almost
entirely unoccupied by women particularly
in the towns of from 10000 population
down. / know personally dozens of the
smaller towns in which there are no woman
recall one in which there is a woman pho
tographer. / know of one town of 1000
people where three years ago there were
two photographers, both men, and their
galleries were of the kind usually found
in such towns. There were several capa-
BILE women in the town who had asked sug-
gestions from me as to what they might
do for the improvement of their material
condition, and l suggested to two of them
that they buy out these galleries and
open one which would be a credit to the
town and to themselves. They simply look
ed at me in surprise, ard said they had
never heard of such a thing as a woman
photographer and could not think of doing
such work. Within a year an enterprisine
man came along. bought out the galleries.
opened a fairly good one, not anything like
such a one as the women could have had.
and since that time has made money right
along.
I'm some of the larger cities woman pho
tographers have taken positions In the very
forefront of the profession. but they have
not done there what Is possible in the small
towns. Let US suppose that two young wo-
men of the same town, Of good social posi.

would be. comparatively, more successful
piece Of work than the city photograph
for a more critical subject 1t is in this
respect that the good photographer, with
out being at all a great photographer can
reap material success in the smaller places
which are at present so poorly provided
with Photographic studios that mean any,
thing more than mere shops where one
may have likeness made"

Senator Newland's resolution asking
Cubs to come into the Union was the
subject Of several debates. The repub-
lican senators, Lodge, Hale and o. H.
Plat opposed the resolution. arguing
that an invitation to Cuba would be
looked upon as command and would
arouse suspicion of the United States,
and that it would weaken the hands OF
the present Cuban government, which
was about to enter on difficult financial
undertakings. In his speech Mr.. Plat
the author of the Plat amendment, de
MED that we exercised a protectorate
over Cuba, or that Cuba was in any
way our ward. Senator Teller said that
without Wishing to enter into the de-
bate, he wanted to declare that Cuba
was in no way a dependency Of this
country, and that any International
lawyer would set such a contention
down as absolutely absurd.

Relative to rumor that the Goulds will

following:
According to the statements made by tie
lawyers who are interested in the matter, an
agent of the Goulds 10 expected to be IN
Washington on Saturday or Sunday to in.
spect the property and right OF way of the
Southern Maryland Railroad, the franchise
of which has been offered to the Wabash. 1t
is also said that should this agent report iav-
orably on the condition of things, the nego.
tiations which are now pending in New
Yo'k will end with the purchase of the
property.
at was impossible today to obtain any in
formation concerning the price asked for the
property, but 1t is said to be much less than
any other franchise can be obtained for. 1t
is also said that it is going to be easier to
make connections with the Western Mary.
land by this route than any other. Not more
than Is miles to one point and 3S to another
are needed to make the necessary connection
for the Wabash trains to run into the Union
Station, which can be erected by the Goulds
under the old franchise.
