TRAIN WENT OUT OF SIGHT.
incident that Caused CONSERVATION to
Railroad Officials.

81 must tell you of an exciting scene
witnessed in the general managers
office in Chicago" said an old railroad
man f
The Jarrett and Palmer train from
New York to San Francisco was taken
kebarge ofoat Clinton by Superintend-
ent Oliver and Conductor Charles Hol-
ton, and the engine was run by
Thomas Keefe, The train had the
right of way over the road, and there
was no time table.
The engineer and conductor were.
instructed to go through to Council
Bluffs just as quick as steam could do
1t. The telegraph operators at each
station were directed to notify the
general managers office, Chicago. OF
the moment the locomotive came in
sight Of the station.
In the office were Keep, Hughitt.
Porter, Stennett, Wheeler and other
interested spectators, all eagerly
watching the progress of the train
across Iowa.
Between Fairfax and Norway there
is but one curve. The train passed
Fairfax going finely, and just before
II reached the curve which would
bring 1t in sight of Norway coupling
pin between the baggage and smok-
ing car came out, and the engineer,
calling for brakes, pushed ahead and
rounded the curve, while the brake
man stopped the train before it
reached the head in the curve.
The operator at Norway saw the
headlight OF the locomotive, and, rush
ing into the office, telegraphed train
in sight While the operator was
sending the dispatch the engineer
backed the locomotive around the
curve to pick up the balance of the
train, and, of course, went out Of
sight of the Norway station.
SO when the operator stepped to
the door to see the train pass it was
not in sight, and he excitedly rushed
back to the instrument, and tele-
graphed Train Disappeared
Instantly the company in the Chi
cago Office became wildly excited.
Hughitt was the first to speak, and
bringing down his fist with such force
that the papers on the table fell in all
directions, cried: The whole train
has gone to HI, just as I expected
Hardly had the words passed his
lips, when Norway telegraphed: 70
Train passed o. K IT. smoi sd

the night on it's record breaking trip"

Two Engineers 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 renewed discussion of the
question of placing two engineers in
the cab, at least in the more import
ant fast trains, says a writer in the
Scientific American. There was a
time, in the days of smaller locomo-
tives, when the fireman had more
leisure than now for general observa.
ton, both of the signals and of con-
ditions in the cab. He was in closer
touch with the engineer. Today, how
ever, the locomotives have increased
to such large dimensions that the
attention and energy of the fireman
are fully occupied in keeping the huge
furnaces fully supplied with fuel and
the boiler with water. Not so 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 ex-
press passenger engine will have from
$500 to $500 square feet of surface,
and the most powerful freight loco
motives from $500 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 attending to his injector or peer
ing ahead for the first glimpse of the
signals. 1t is our conviction that
locomotives have grown to such size
that the railroad management should
give careful consideration to the dues-
ton of placing a third person in the
cab of the largest engines for pur-
poses of observation, and this is par
ticularly necessary on those locomo-
tives in which the engineers cab is
separate from that of the fireman

New Locomotive Eirebox.

During the past ten years contract
ors of locomotives have made vain
endeavors to find some better con-
struction to replace copper fireboxes.
Mr.. Brotan, inspector and superin-
tendent Of the workshops of the Royal
and Imperial Austrian State railway,
at Gmund, has now invented water
tube firebox, which has been IN use
for some time, with the very best re-
suits.
Upright seamless steel tubes, ar
ranged in rows. with their ends rolled
into cast-steel pipe, form the bound
airy at the sides and rear of the rect
angular combustion chamber from
which the gases, of combustion pass
forward through the iron tube plate
into the fire tubes OF the boiler. In
order that the foremost water tube
may adapt itself to the curvature OF
the tube plate, the lateral wall tubes
are bent so as to correspond to the
circumference of the fire tube boil
eT. To the rearmost lateral wall tubes
there are connected the rear wall
pipes, which are arranged close to
gether in concentric curves and
encircle the fire door. The space un
der the fire door and tube plate is
lined with fire clay. The upper tube
ends are rolled from below radially
into the rear portion Of the steam col
