ing on the tracks in the local depot
and yard. The wharf will be improved
and is i'm need of extensive repairs.
1t is noticeable fact that the COM
pound engine as used on the Boston &
Maine roalrOad is now being discOntin-
ued in great measure. 1t is under
stood that the chief reason for this is
not that the compound engine does not
do it's work, but that the per centage
Of cost for repairs is far in excess of
the repair cost of the simple type.
This, undoubtedly, is due largely to the
fl ct that when an engineer has a load
to pull he does it. and generally does
it with dried steam, hence with more
wear and strain on the side carrying
the compound cylinder. All the COM
pound engines now being sent to
the locomotive works for Overhauling
or rebuilding are being changed from
compound to simple engines.

no nourishment except water. He is
