A FIRELEss LOCOMOTIVE.

Locomotives that run without fire are not common objects of sight, yet there are some and they give great satisfaction, especially in places where caution against fire is first consideration, as in cotton plants, powder mills, etc. In Germany there is now in use locomotive that runs without fire and might do excellently we'll if adopted in this country. There is no firebox in it, and of course, it cannot be %lsed in uninterrupted rail- way service, but must be confined to switchyards so it will be near its base of supply.
 At a local power station the tank of the locomotive is filled with steam, and on this steam supply the machine will run from four to five hours doing ordinary switching work. The steam is not taken on at high pressure. The pressure is about TO pounds a square inch; in other words 1t is proposed to afford the locomotive steam pressure practically the same as that in the boiler of the power station. In order to effect this result the locomotive boiler is filled with water to about three-fourths it's capacity. This wa ter is superheated. Steam is admitted
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-25

by means of a steam coupling from the power plant at the forward end or the boiler, where low down 1t passes through a steam admission valve. This iuncture between the locomotive boiler and the boiler of the power plant is effected by either revolving pipe connection or by msans of a swaying arm, or it may be efIected by a collecting pipe such as IS pe- culiar to hydrants. The steam is blown into the cooler water of the engine boiler from the stationary boil- CT and gives up its heat until the tenn perature in the two boilers Is about the same.
 An official on reporting on this en- zine sums up its good points as fol- lows: It offers absolute safety against fire which might be caused by flying sparks, and all smoke nui- sance is eliminated. This permits of the machine being used in sheds and other inclosures. There IS marked economy, since the cost of producing steam in stationary boiler plants is less than when produced by ordinary fire locomotives. The fact must not be lost sight of that only one man is required to run the engine and when the machine is not in op- eration the services of this man can be utilized elsewhere.

Those two young men returned from the wars to perish al sea in the burning of a steam ship in the year 1872. and they per ished in saving others.

 Grover Cleveland was famous duck hunter and fisherman. President Roosevelt is no more deeply devoted t the hunting of big game than was his only living predecessor devoted to gun ming for ducks and casting the line for members of the finny tribe, During his retirement the ex-president wrote several magazine articles on these topics. He made annual excursions to the hunting and fishing waters, never failing to make good in those lines or sport

 Only on rare occasions did Mir. Cleve- land appear in public after his retire. ment. As "the most distinguished private citizen in the world" his pres ence was in demand. but he preferred to let younger and more active men participate in public affairs and func- tions. It cannot be denied that he had earned the right to rest

 This was Grover Cleveland's last public work. His long standing illness broke him down last spring. He gave up all his duties and went to Lake wood in his vain search for health.
