GIANT LOCOMOTIVES.
New Engines For Erie Railroad Weiah
Over 200 Tons,

Three locomotives. just being COM
pleted for the Erie railroad at the
Schenectady works of the American
Locomotive company. are the heaviest
and most powerful engines of their
/ ever constructed.
Each locomotive alone. without its
tender, weighs 2O5 tons. and will haul,
on the level. 800 loaded freight cars, or
q train about two miles long.
These enormous machines are Of the
type known as Mallet compound, and
have sixteen drive wheels, arranged III
two Independent groups of eight each.
The boilers used are more than forty
three feet long and the inside diam
eter of the largest firebox %fountation
ring is eight feet. 1t is provided with
404 tubes two and one-quarter inc les in
diameter and twenty-one feet long. The
water in the boiler will weigh Az. 100
pounds and the tubes %, 100 pounds.
One Of the fireboxes would make Il
good sized living room, being ten and
one-half feet long and nine and one
half feet wide inside and having a
crate area of 100 square feet.
First Of the locomotives of this type
In this country was that built by the
same company for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in 1904. This engine as
tonished the engineering world at that
time by its enormous size, but these
engines for the Erie railroad are as
much heavier than their predecessor
as that engine was heavier than the
next largest locomotive Of its time.
The decided success Of the Baltimore
and Ohio engine, however, has proved
the advantages offered by this type for
exceptional weight and hauling power
and justifies this still greater develop
ment Of the type.

membership in the Mollies was not
confined to the miners. Saloon keep
ers, backlog politicians and others were
in it. The society had lodges in va
r1Ous parts of the state. The meetings
were secret, and there were passwords,
grips and other signs. Mcfarland join
ed the Mollies and became apparently
q saloon bum after he quit the mines.
He drank 80 much bad whisky that his
health failed and he came near dying.
All the time he was reporting daily to
his employers, the Pinkerton agency.
After two years as a Molly the young
man had enough information. Many
arrests were made. Eleven men were
hanged on evidence discovered by Nc
Parland and forty were sent to the
p%enitentiary. That was the last of the
Mollies.
For several years Mcfarland disap-
peared. 1t was given out that he was
dead. Another story was that he had
gone to the other side Of the earth to
escape the vengeance OF the Mollies.
Mcfarland became manager of the
Pinkerton branch at Denver a number
Of years ago. For years he worked on
the supposition that the many murders,
explosions, mine burnings and other
crimes in Colorado, Idaho and Utah
were instigated by men officially con-
nected with the Western Federation of
Miners. When Orchard was arrested

Mental Fatiuue.

A Washington scientist has recently

ments on mental fatigue. and his con
illusions throw doubt on the old theory
that the mind closes it's power to
work as a rubber ball loses its power
to bound and that sleep charges the
mind with energy. On the contrary,
this investigator finds that the degree
Of inability caused by mental work is
very much less than has been sup
posed, and he questions whether the
results obtained by Investigators who
have sought to measure mental fatigue
In school children were not due to the
use Of methods which did not measure
the inability but did measure the dis
taste for mental effort.

In England much interest has been

authorities in a new method of pre-
serving flour by means Of compress
sion. With hydraulic pressure appara-
tus the -four is squeezed into the form
Of bricks. and experiments are report
ed to have shown that the pressure de-

pressed flour occupy the same space as
100 pounds of -four in the ordinary
state.

new BREAD DIGESTIBLE.
When Properly Masticated Hot Rolls
Cease to ee Injurious.

When Properly Mastieated Hot Rolls
Cease to Be Injurious.
New bread is commonly considered
indigestible, and with reason, but it is
not necessarily SO, says Fuer ALE Volt.
hot rolls when masticated properly
should not offer any difficulty to the
digestive organs. The writer goes on
to say:
A slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves into more or
less gritty particles, which, unless they
are softened by the saliva, would be
almost impossible to swallow. The
particles would irritate the throat and
gullet. The fact is, therefore, that
man is compelled thoroughly to masti-
cate and to i%mpregnate stale bread and
thus makes it In a At state for diges-
ton and absorption farther on in the
alimentary tract.
This is why stale bread appears to
be more digestible than new bread.
New bread. on the contrary, is soft,
doughy or plastic, and there appears to
be no necessity to soften it with saliva;
hence it escapes the preliminary diges-
tive action Of the ptyalin of the saliva.
New bread, in other words, is in reality
'bolted,' and boiling accounts for
many Of the ills arising from dyspep-
sia. Accordingly, hot rolls should be
enjoyed for breakfast without any fear
of indigestion 81 long as the bread is
good and so long as pains are taken to
masticate it thoroughly.
