as facilitated running around curves.
Resides, the quantity of heat impaired
to the surrounding water by a fiue did
not increase In proportion to length
Still, dozen years ago there was one
dimension left unaltered. Boilers could
at least be made higher by departing
from the old cylindrical form. The
James Toleman, an English engine
shown at Chicago in 1898, had an oval
cross section. Flaman, a Frenchman.
almost simultaneously persuaded the
Eastern railway in France to adopt a
two-stery boiler. Several locomotives
of that type were built, and are said
TO have shown a remarkable economy.
The English experiment, however, was
not followed UP any further.
One of the most recent expedients
is the adoption of the superheater.
That device has shown itself capable
OF promoting great economy to sta
tionary steam plants, and theoretically
should work in the same way on To-
connective. More or less ingenuity was
needed to effect the adaptation, but
the task has been performed satisfac-
tOrily. Mr.. Lake mentions with spe-
cial favor the style Of superheater in
vented by Schmidt, and added to en-
gines built at the Borsig Works in
Germany in 1900.
If the notion of giving steam a
chance to expand in more than one
cylinder did not originate in America,
1t was certainly well known in this
country many years ago. The earlier
compounds here had only two cylinders
on a side. In England three and four
cylinders were tried with encouraging
results. OF late good deal has been
heard about the De Glenn locomotive.
1t is made in Germany, but it's per-
formance on French roads two or
three years ago gave 1t its greatest
advertisement. Several engines of that
type have since been constructed for
trial in the United States and Canada.
Well, the salient features of this pow
erful machine is that it Is designed on
the four-cylinder principle the low
pressure cylinders being especially ca
pacious. Expansion begins at a pres
sure of 240 pounds. A minor advan-
tage of the design is the method Of
coupling the drivers so as to render
CONFERENCE.-The unnecessary, but the
chief merit of the De Glehn is the
economy which it secures.
Several improvements in fireboxes
which were first proposed in this coun.
try have been regarded with favor
| abroad, if they have not actually been
adopted there. This is particularly
true of the Belpaire system of stays,
which facilitates a good circulation.
Again, much Of the work done In Eu-
rope of late in giving fiexiblity to the
wheel base" of a locomotive is an
outgrowth of still another American
idea, pivoting the front end of the
engine on a truck like those under pas
senger coaches. If the steam locomo-
tive is not doomed to disappear en-
tirely its development has certainly
been carried about as far as human
ingenuity is ever likely to push 1t. AS
its history is reviewed, America will
always have ample occasion for pride
in her own share in this work.

Low Point on Old Cotton Showed n
Net Decline of IS to ~ Points.
New York, Feb. 24.-There was a
sharp break in the cotton market to-
day. The opening was firm at a de-
cline of points on April, while the
other positions were unchanged to Z
points higher For the first hour the
market displayed an advancing ten
dency. The local bulls, however, APP
peared to be selling IN some volume
ana after the early demand had been
partially filled the market began
Working downward. Shortly before
midday stop orders were reported and
for brief interval the market ruled
active and excited with prices showing
weakness. Liquidation subsiding some
what, covering caused a partial rally.
The rally was lost. however. on
heavy New Orleans selling and a re-
newal of aggressive offerings from 10
cal sources. The low point was reach
ed in the later trading when Marci
sold at 1850. May at 1850 and JulS
at 1880, a break from the best price
of the morning of about a cent q
pound pound and a net decline of $50
p points.
Just before the close there was ac-
tive support from Philadelphia spot
interests and the market was finally
firm at net decline of 406D60 points
on the old and of 3@42 points on the
new crop months. The sales of the
day were estimated at 100000 bales.

Down at New Orleans.
New Orleans. Feb: 24.-Rumors on
top of rumors were the chief cause of
a sensational break in the cotton mar
ket to-day. Early in the day, after u
brilliant opening with prices strongly
on an upward trend, dispatches came
from New York saying that the bull
leaders were selling out. Prices prompt
ly showed weakness.
When the market had recovered to
an extent, more rumors came this time
telling of numerous failures in the cap
itals of Europe. Prices fell until at
the close they were "A to 70 points low
er than the highest level of the day,
and AZ to 80 points lower than the close
yesterday in March. May and July.
At one time prices were SO points
lower than the highest levels in May
and July, but toward the close the
market had sold-out appearance. 1t
was also quieter. The big bulls were
as calm and confident as ever, but
scores of smaller spectators had been
wiped out in the breaks of the day.

Marysville, Ohio, Sept. 19-The as
signment of ministers is causing much
discussion. The Williams street
church, Delaware, wants either Rev.
G. X. HavIghorst. of Findlay, or Rev.
X. d. Hollington, of Kenton, but both
will probably be returned to their old
charges. The Marysville church wants
Rev. A. E Smith, of Marion, and it is
understood that he will leave the Con-
ference If he is sent to Marysville.

Washington, September 1s.-Pend-
ing an investigation of the case, State
Department officials are disposed to
treat as a fraudulent scheme to obtain
money the information which press re-
ports from Pasadena, Cal, state has
come to a relative of Congressman
McLachlan, of California, of the re-
ported death of Louis Blaisdell in a
Spanish hospital and the detention of
his fourteen-year-old daughter in a
convent at Arsjuez.
According to the views of the de-
partment officials, the reports bear the
earmarks of gang of imposters who
have operated at various places in
Spain for long time and who have
obtained sums of money from foreign
ers who have believed the representa-
tions made to them.
The customary practice of these i'm
posters is to report that parent has
died, leaving a confession with q
priest and a young daughter in his
charge, and the information is convey
ed that certain amount of money Ii
required TO obtain access to, or data
concerning the location of q fortune
which the decedent is alleged to have
left to supposed relative in a foreign
country.
The story is an old one to the de
partment and they have constantly
warned the public against being dupet
by this and similar schemes. The re
quest of Mr.. McLachan, acting in be
half of his relative, that an investiga
ton of the facts in the case be mad,
by ths State Department, has not ye
reached Washington, but as soon as i
does it will be taken into considera
tion.
Charles Humphreys, the foundry
man, recently received a communica
tion from the gang and turned the let
ter over to the authorities.

Saturday afternoon when retained for
the defense of John Latham, aged 80,
itinerant peddler, home In Marion
county, charged with undue intimacy
with Marguerite Bishop. aged Is, of
Geyer, Southland endeavored to defend
his client.
The case was heard by Mayor Stew
art, patriarch of Auglaize. Attorney
Southland says that court was held in q
closet-ike room, by courtesy termed
Mayors Office" The girl was not
present. Latham was confined in a
cell in the Office and interested specta-
tors from the entire country side num-
bering several hundred were on hand.
Under bench built around the room
large sticks of wood were stored. As
tine audience assembled each reached
under the bench, appropriated stick
of wood, and used it for a seat.
The prisoner was not permitted to
plead and Attorney Southard says he
was allowed to make no argument.

before the case commenced, "we are
here assembled to investigate this af-
fair and see that justice is DONE
His Honor then proceeded to bind
Latham over to Common Pleas Court
in Auglsize county.

torney Southland. 81 would like to read

"Now there amt any lawyer from

Attorney Southard in telling thu
above stated that he was allowed tc
see no affidavit and that the case wa,
the limit in all his experience In tn
law. There was nothing to do bu
come home after telling Latham h
