PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION.
Novel Investigations by Students to
Gain information.

Some novel investigations are being made
on passenger locomotive No. 1913 of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad by three stu
dents of Cornell University. the results OF
which will be embodied in their graduation
theses. The locomotive was specially pre-
pared for the purpose by the railroad au-
thorities, and presents a strange appear
ance at first sight, the front being boxed
in so that it resembles the armored engines
used by the British In South Africa. De-
vices for recording the number of revolu-
lions made by the wheels are attached to
the engine the consumption of coal and
water is carefully noted, and every effort is
made to accurately determine just what
proportion of the power generated is ex-
pended in drawing the train and what por-
ton Is lost by friction.
Two round trips between Baltimore and
this city have been made daily since last
Monday. and will be continued during the
