Monday, and Immediately began in.
specting the entire train. although
uhe big MaMett engine came in for
most Of the inspection. This is said
to be the largest locomotive engine
In The world. It has successfully pun
ed 100 Oaded cars on a trial "trip
and viii be put into regular road
Service as soon as this demonstra.
zion trip is over. The engine was
built at the Topeka shops of the
company, under the supervision of
The superintendent, John Purcell,
who accompanied the train.
The cylinders on the Mallet en-
gine, Mr.. Purcell said, "are 2S inches
and SS inches, by 80 inch stroke. The
engine carries 225 pounds steam
pressure per square inch. It weighs
$4,000 pounds, including the tank
The tank carries 10000 gallons of wa
ter and 1000 gallons of fuel oil. The
engine has 30 driving wheels, two
truck and two trailer wheels.
"Notwith standing lis great size,
the engine goes around curves as cas-
ly as the smaller type. The boiler
moves over the machinery by means
of sliding supports. The engine is
equipped with all the latest automa-
TIC devices, such as air reversing
geanS, bebl ringer, Sylinder cocks, wa
(er reheaters and superheaters. The
fuel is crude oil which is fed to the
fire box by means Of throttle valves
similar TO the valves ON an ,automo-
bile.
The arrangement is so simple tha'
the engine could be fired by a six
teen year old boy. The engine has
10000 pounds draw bar pull.
Frank Mcclure of Topeka, the
engineer in charge of the Mallet, was
bonn in 1871, the year the small en-
gine was built. Engine O4S is Of the
eight wheel type. It is run by Peter
Tellin, the Oldest engineer on the

the power Of the Mallet, and weighs,
including the tank, $4,000 pounds. II
