Locomotives That Act n Though

You never SEE ship launched on a

plans. at the same time. OF similar ma
terial. One goes on her way quietly
and smoothly. never breaks down, costs
little or nothing for repairs. The other
causes trouble from the very first. runs
on the line. kills the drivers. gets Into
accidents Of all kinds and generally
acts as though possessed by some evil
spirit.
There was n famous instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail-
way. A locomotive killed 10 many peo-
pie that she got the name Of ''the
hearse." and no fewer than three en-
glne drivers actually left the employ
Of the company rather than continue

drop water on the surface of the paper
until the space within the figure IL
filed. The moistened pencil lines viii
keep II from flowing outside the figure.
Now place the point % a pin over some
point In the figure near the edge. The
