The first league game in this city will be played here tonight between Hillhouse coun- cil and Davenport council, both teams being composed of men who are good bowlers. and a close contest ought to be the result of the meeting. At the request of many of the players we print the rules of the game which have been compiled and adopted for the use of the fraternal organizations by James Mustarde. They are as fol- lows:

locomotives.

Formerly Gangs of Workmen
and a Lot of Time Were
Required.

quently the most interesting. AS an
instance, take the Locomotives board
ing house." as some of the men call
the coal and sand chute near every
roundhouse. Twenty years ago 1t
took big crews of men to supply the
of an engine. Now two or three men
do all this work of feeding" the en-
CINE before they go out, and do 1t in
much less time than it used to take.
When an engine is ready to go on
run nowadays it takes only few min
utes to feed it for the trip. When it
backs off the turntable to the coal
chute switch it is ready for dinner"
In big elevator there are hoppers
full of coal ready to fall into its tank
the moment the hostler's assistant
pulls rope. This coal is lifted from
coal cars into the hoppers or chutes
by means of an elevator. In the same
place the sand drier has chute that
is filled with dried sand, used on the
tracks when the engines drivers slip.
While the coal is being dumped into
the tank, the sand drier is filling the
sand box, the sand shooting down
through long pipe.
In a great many railroad yards the
engines can be coaled. sanded and
watered without moving the engine
from one point. The old-fashioned wa
ter tank has given place to standpipes
that are stationed in convenient
places. An engine has scarcely to be
moved to receive every supply needed
for a long trip. In the old days it had
to go first to the coal yards to be
coaled by men with shovels. Then it
hustled off to the sandhouse and men
passed buckets of sand up to a man
who stood on the boiler and poured it
into the sandbox. Then the engine

Getting Coal and Sand Supply.

went to the water tank. To-day it gets
it's full supply in one place in a few
minutes. 1t used to take hours to do
the same work.
These modern locomotive feeding
devices are man-savers as well as saw
ers of time. In the old days the lives
of strong men were shortened by the
toll incident to getting engines ready
for their runs. With scoop shovels
every pound of coal consumed by the
locomotives had to be thrown from
coal cars to tank, and it was an every
day occurrence to have engines hur-
ried to the coaling track for a fuel
supply when it was then time for the
engine to depart. That meant that
the coal beavers had to do the work
of slaves to accomplish what the COM
pany expected of them. To-day mech
anism saves the backs of thousands of
men employed around railroad yards
and roundhouses. The locomotives
boarding house is managed on the
plan of well-regulated dining room.
The old-fashioned way of coaling en-
gines was up to date indeed when
compared with that still more remote
system-wood burning. Back in the
days when locomotives were steamed
with wood it was a common occur
renee to stop the train out in the
woods somewhere and train crew and
passengers would begin carrying
wood to the engine, filling the tank
to its capacity. 1t was case of carry
wood or walk, for the engines con-
sumed so much fuel that it was i'm
possible to make the tank large
enough to carry enough for long trip.
These wood-carrying parties used to
be jolly social functions in bright
weather and everybody joined in the
fun. But when the chill winds blew
or the rain was falling the poor train
crew had to face the elements and do
all the 'toting" themselves. 1t was
happy day for railroad men when the
coalburner engine was invented and
the raids ON the forests ceased to be a
factor in railroad life.

ter in the cans cold. Pipes will be
run from the water tank around the
car so that they can be replenished
with a fresh supply of water when
needed. The car has a capacity of
200 cans and the water tank is above
the level of the tops of the cans as
they stand on the floor of the car
Beyond them is the engine room
from which supply of air will be
provided for the cans Next come the
kitchen, toilet room, heater and then
the parlor compartment with five
berths and the dining-room
The car is equipped with six-wheel
trucks, according to specifications ap-
proved by railroad engineers for pas
senger coaches.
At present the commission can ship
only 20 cans at time and this keeps
the men on the road much of the
time, while with the new car they
can haul 200 cans at load and sup
ply the demand along one line of
road in a single trip.

RAILROAD AROUND A VOLCANO.
Stretch of Track That Will Cost Much
Money to Build.

The stretch of road that runs from
TuXpan in the state of Jalisco to Coli
ma, Mexico, is one of the most eXpen-
sive pieces of railroad building in
America. 1t will cost more than So
100000 gold to build this forty three
miles of road The unreliable antics
of the Colima volcano had to be taken
into consideration in selecting the
route. Jets of steam are constantly
belched forth from its crater and
eruptions of violent character occur
periodically. The steam is condensed
when it strikes the cold atmosphere
above the crater and in the form of
water it seeks the sea by means of
numerous deep gorges. In time of
eruption streams of lava are elected
from the seething cauldron within
the mountain and this molten mass
follows the courses marked out by
the waterways and pours down upon
the more level land far below. The
gorgeS, or barrancas, as they are
called in Mexico, are 300 to 600 feet
in depth and 100 to 1000 feet across.
1t has been stupendous task to
get the necessary machinery, such as
steam shovels, into the almost i'm
penetrable region. All machinery had
to be knocked down and carried along
narrow mountain trails upon the backs
of burros. Frequently when impass-
able barrancas were reached the
loads had to be let down to the bot
tom of the gorges by means of ropes,
and carried across to the other side
by Mexican laborers and then hoisted
to the trail on the other side, to re-
sumo the journey upon the backs of
the patient burros.-W. D. Hornaday

New Cars Were Lost.

Several years ago the Lehigh Valley
road invested in a bunch of new box
cars of certain pattern and in the
shipment there was shortage of
three cars. They could not be traced.
Seven months after the shipment one
of these cars was discovered in Chi.
cago and had made two trips to San
Francisco. 1t was year before the
second car was rounded up, we'll worn.
while months later it was discovered
that the third missing car had been
smashed in kindling in wreck.
