Iaymcn's Great Mission Movement.
Men Of Protestant church hes in New
York and within radius Of fifty miles
Of that city are taking keen and active
interest III meetings recently begun
which will continue until Sunday,
Jan. 1G. These meetings are arranged
by the laymen's missionary move
ment, and the activity they arouse is
significant, since they aim at world
evangeliZation. Professionals Of all de-
nominations are working in unity to
make the campaign one of tremendous
success, showing that creed differences
are being forgotten. The laymen'S
missionary movement was organized
for the purpose Of showing the men
of America their duty to nonChristian
lands and how to discharge that duty.
1t is hoped by the missionary move
ment that volunteers will be found
who will go into the foreign fields to
spread the work Of evangelization.
Pledges Of large financial support to
the movement have been made, AMI
AL through the United States the keen
est interest is said to prevail in the
work ahead. After the campaign in
Kew York there will be rallies in many
other cities, and Il general convention
will be held in Chicago next May, at
which reports of the work will be
made.

The new locomotives of the Mallet
articulated compound type for the
Southern Pacific railroad are so long
that If used in the ordinary way the
engineer would have difficulty getting
Il good view of the track in front Of
him. SO to obviatc the difficulty the
builders have placed the cart before
the horse, as it were, and are building
the locomotives to run backward With
the tender attached to the pilot. The
fifteen locomotives thus constructed
are oil burners. as this arrangement
would not be possible with coal burn
ing engines of that type.
y bumper supporting a stub pilot
and pilot coupler is secured to the
main frame brace just under the cab.
The cab. which is entirely inclosed, is
fitted with sliding windows and is en-
tered through side doors reached by
suitable ladders. The cab fixtures are
located within easy reach Of the en-
gircman, who occupies the right side
of the cab, looking ahead.

the fog.
