ENGINES TESTED IN SHOP.
Ingenious Arrangement for Giving Lo-
connective Its Trial Trips.

One of the greatest triumphs of en-
cheering skill is to be found at the
Great Western railway works at Swim
don. England. where an ingenious con-
trivance for giving a locomotive Its
trial trip without leaving the scene
of It's construction is in operation.
The feature of the testing plant is
that the engine, after being placed
on the machine. runs on wheels fitted
with tires which correspond to the
trend and section of the permanent
way. A clever braking arrangement
secures a representation of the diff
cultes encountered In running on the
metals and all the tests usually made
on trial trip can be conducted in
side the works with all the appliances
at hand. The dangers of a break
down and subsequent blocking of the
main line are thus obviated and the
work of experimenting is simpllned.
This machine is the invention of the
locomotive superintendent, J. C.
Churchward. and is said TO be the
only one in Europe.

Loyal Legion. and a son of the naval
hero. Admiral Farragut. has the
double honor OF having fought in the

impoytuning his father that he might

I'm not so sure whether you could
stand fire."
"oh. yes. father. I could do that"
said the boy.
VERY well. my boy. I'll try you.
Come up with me here
The old naval hero and his son
went up together into the maintop.
and there they both remained till
Port Hudson was passed. The lad
never fiinched while the shot and
shell flew thick and fast about him.
Then the father said:
Very well. my boy, that will do,

And the hey was made cadet and
