THE LOCOMOTO.

The locomoto is the thing that pulls the
II passes through the meadow, behind the
pasture bars.
You can't essactly see it, cause there's
such lot of trees,
But listen, and you'll hear it, most any
time you please.
Not when it's going to Boston, but every
body knows
When it is coming back again, cause then
the whistle blows,
And I'm sure that l can tell you who it is
talking to
When it whizzes round our corner, and
calls, "Hul-loo, Lulu!"
It wakes me in the morning and it's just as
If it said
That Pm a little lazybones for lying here
It calls again at dinner-time, as if it un-
derstands
That l must leave my garden, and 60 in
and wash my hands!
And when I've finished supper, and am up
on daddy's knee,
And he's telling about Indians, as creepy
as can be,
It makes me jump like anything, though
all the time l know
That in the most essiting part it's going
to holler so!
At first it used to frighten me, but now
we're reg'lar chums,
It tells me-never you mind what!-most
every time it comes,
Since | went down to the station with
daddy in the cart, :,
And saw it standing putting there, all
ready for the start.
I went and stood beside it, and / said
"How do you do?
l am the little Lulu that you're always
calling to"
The locomoto gave jump, and started
with rush,
But first little puff of steam came out ant
whispered, "Hush!"
You see I'd like to tell you what it's al
ways saying now,
But you wouldn't understand it, and
couldn't, anyhow
It's secrets, very interesting, new ont
every day,
But / really couldn't tell you, when i
whispered, Flush that way!
But when hear it coming, at dinner.time
And climb up on the paddock bars, as bolt
as any one;
l wave my hand like anything, and shout
"IIow do you do?"
| And the locomoto whizzes by, and calls
"Hul-loo, Lulu!"

STORY OF THE RAILROAD.

The world was thousands of years
old. The great Atlantic Ocean had
been crossed and the United States
had become an established nation, but
still kept to the old ways Of travel.
They believed that any plan to carry
them from place to place faster than
the old stage coach was dream to
be laughed at. When 1t was discov-
cred that steam could be used to move
machinery and that a steamboat could
work its own way through the water
most people began to think that no
greater wonder could be accom-
plished. About seventy years ago a
coal digger in the Northumbrian
mines of England invented locomo-
tive. Stephenson claimed that his en-
gine could take the place of horses
in drawing coaches along tracks.
AS he was a man who had very
little book learning he could not give
bright answers to those who asked
| foolish questions about his wonder
| full scheme. He knew, though that
his ideas could be carried out. Final
| ly he went to the House Of Commons
of England with a proposition to
build a railroad between Manchester
and Liverpool. How the members of
Parliament, who supposed themselves
very wise, laughed at his plan OF
whisking people through the air in
such an undignified and careless man
ner. For their part they were con-
tent to jog along the rest of their
lives in the clumsy old stage coaches
such as their fathers had used.
Had it not been for the merchants
of Liverpool, who saw that the build
ing Of the railroad would add to their
trade and thus add to their wealth,
Stephenson's plan would have failed
for the time. These men subscribed
the money necessary for the project.
| In December, 1926, the road was be-
gun. AS Stephenson had none of the
modern appliances for blasting rocks,
boring tunnels, building bridges nor
sinking piles in marshy places the
work of laying the generally level
track took four years. To-day in
ventions are welcomed by the whole
world. The laboring man and the
millionaire are alike interested in
such wonders as the airship. In those
days it was very different. The veal
thy were satisfied with their comforts,
while the poor thought every inven-
tion where machinery could perform
the work of people was an invention
to rob them of their employment and
make them poorer. When the first
trip on the railroad was made the
nobility of England were the passen-
gers.
All along the way the working peo-
pie placed their threatening notices.
In fact, a riot was feared, but the
strong arm OF the law preserved peace
and quietness. those who rode were
delighted at being carried though the
air so rapidly. They said that 1t
seemed as If they were flying. The
Journey through the hills and over
streams on a level road was such a
wonder to them that they said the
impossible had come to pass.
In our country the first railroad
of any Importance was opened at
Charleston, S. c., in 1881. On ac-
count of an accident the popularity
of this road came near meeting with
disaster. The fireman was a negro
who became greatly annoyed at the
Kissing steam as 1t escaped from the

a much higher temperature than is
generally known, and will melt cast
iron or steel filings. Try it by strik-

Rumor has it that another long
step forward has been made in the
| art of armor plate manufacture. 1t
| is stated that the new plate, which Is
fabricated from a stee! alloy, COM
bines great toughness with extreme
| hardness of face, and that in recent
| test a six-inch plate stopped a nine
inch capped explosive shell. We
doubt 1t; but If it was done, the new
armor must be even more superior
| to Krupp armor than Krupp armor Is
to that made under the old Harvey
| patents.
1t is not, perhaps, generally known
| that in the so-called arc lamp the
| light comes from the incandescent
| carbons, the electric arc itself being
practically non-luminous. One of the
| chief aims of inventors has been to
| make the arc luminous instead of the
| carbons. In the Steinmetz magnetic
| lamp this Is effected by making the
| pencil for the negative electrode OF a
combination of magnetic iron ore
with titianium oxide and other chem
icals. Virtually all the light from a
| Steinmetz lamp comes from the arc,
| for the electrodes are not heated to a
temperature high enough to render
| them incandescent. The life OF the
lamp is thus prolonged.
The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use of
electricity on farms. 1t is possible
for the farmer with small plant,
driven either by gasoline engine
or by damming small stream, to OBJ
tain sufficient current to light his
fouse and barn with this economical
type of incandescent lamp. The use
of electricity on the farm, by the way,
is growing, and, as pointed out by the
Electrical World. farmers will in time
come to consider electricity neces-
sity. Then it will be found profitable
to establish central generating sta
tions for farming districts to take the
place of the small individual plants
Eow being installed.
