Read this clipping from u Chicago
dispatch, you fellow, who imagines
for moment that the world cannot
get along without you. Your turn
will come next. and belonging to a
union, won't help you bit, either:
The Alton Railroad has recently con-
Quoted a series of tests of an automatic
stOker. On a train OF fifty loaded
freight cars, hauled from Chicago to st.
Louis. all records are said to have been
broken for long-distance firing.
The value of the stoker under test is
said by railroad officials to rest in the
fact that it gives a uniform distribution
of coal in the firebox, resulting in an even
heat to all parts of the boiler, and a sub
stantial saving in fuel.
1t is said for this new impro, ement,
by its use the engine fireman is practi-
cally made into an assistant engineer,
giving him more time to watch signals,
and giving greater safety to the travelling
public. LES Angeles Times.
