The Engineer In the Cab.

There have been of late so many
cases of sudden disablement OF the
engineer at the throttle, thereby leav-
ing the train without control, as to
lead to a renewed discussion of the
question Of placing two engineers in
the cab, at least on the more impor.
tant fast trains. There was time,
in the days of smaller locomotives,
when the fireman had more leisure
than now for general observation, both
of the signals and of conditions in the
cab. he was in closer touch with
the engineer. Today, however, the
locomotives have increased to such
large dimensions that the attention
and energy Of the fireman are fully
occupied 10 keeping the huge furnaces
fully supplied with fuel, and the boil
er with water. Not 80 very many
years ago 1000 square feet Of heating
surface was the maximum to be found
on most of even the largest engines
but today the standard express pas.
senger engine will have from 2, 500 to
5000 square feet Of surface, and the
most powerful freight locomotives
from 4, 800 to $500 square feet. From
personal experience when riding in
the cab of fast and heavy passenger
trains, we know that what time the
fireman is not shoveling coal, he is at
tending to his injector or peering
ahead for the first glimpse of the sig
nails. 1t is our conviction that loco
motives have grown to such a size
that the railroad management shoulC
give careful consideration to the ques
ton of placing third person in the
cab of the largest engines for purposes
of observation, and this is particularly
necessary on those locomotives il
which the engineers cab is separate
from that of the 6reman.-Scieuti6C
American.

The Clergyman and the Inndsl.

Some years ago, well-known
clergyman delivered series Of dis
courses against atheism, in a town,
some of the citizens of which were
known to be in6dels. A few days
sftsrwsrd he took passage in a steam
er ascending the Mississippi, and
found on board several oI the citizens
Of that town, among whom was a not.
ed in6del. So soon as this man dis
covered the clergyman he commenced
his blasphemies; aud when he per-
ceived him reading at one of the
tables, he proposed to his companions
to go with him to the opposite side
of the table aud listen to some stories
that he had to tell about religion aud
religious men, which he said would
annoy the old preacher. Quite a
number, prompted by curiosity, gath
cred round him to hear his vulgar
stories and anecdotes, all Of which
were pointed against the Bible and
its ministers.
The preacher did not raise his eyes
from the book which he was reading,
nor appear to be in the least troubled
by the presence of the rabble. At
length the infdel walked up to him,
and rudely slapping him on the
shoulder, said, "OId fellow, what do
you think of these things9" The
clergyman calmly pointed towards the
land, aud said, "Do you see that
beautiful landscape spread out in such
quiet loveliness before you ?" "Yes.
at has variety of flowers, plants,
and shrubs that are calculated to fill
the beholder with delight" yes
"Well, if you were to send out a
dove, it would pass over that scene
and see in it all that was beautiful
aud lovely, and delight itself in gsz-
ing at aud admiring it 4; but if you
we're to send out buzzarl over pre-
cisely the same scene it would see in
it nothing to fix its attention, unless
it could find some rotten carcass that
would be loathsome to all other ami
mails. 1t would sligbt aud gloat upOa
that with exquisite pleasure" "Do
you mean to compare me to abuzazrd,
sir ?" said the iufdel, coIoring deeply,
81 made no alluSion to you, sir, said
the clergyman, very quietly. The
infdel walked off in confusion, aud
went by the name Of 1.-THE Buzzard"
during the remainder Of the passage.
