LOCOMOTIVE MADE OF APPLES
Awarded the Highest Premium of the
Horticultural Exposition at
Sabastopol, Cal.

One of the most unique and attrac-
tive features on exhibition at the
great horticultural exhibition recently
held at Sebastopol, Cal, says a writer
IN the Wide World, was a huge apple
locomotive" All the exterior parts
OF this immense fruit engine" were
composed of large and beautiful ap-
pies, of which thousands were used
IN the completion of the work At
nrst wooden frame-an exact dupli-
cate of a railway engine-was built,
and all over this were placed apples,
IN tasty and artistic patterns. When
all this work was completed there
stood the perfect figure of a big zap
pie locomotive" Under a brilliant
electric light the work presented a
magnificent appearance-fairly daz-
zling. To build such a figure required
much care, artistic skill, time. and
no little expense. The total length
OF this fruit engine" is 26 feet, while
from the apple roadbed and ties up to
the top of the stack is nearly ten feet
No detail has been omitted in the
work. Every appurtenance belonging
to a real, genuine locomotive is there,
including cowcatcher, boiler, head
light, stack, whistle, bell, sand cham
Der, cab and tender. 1t is needless to
add that this splendid piece of work
was the central figure of public admi-
ration, interest and curiosity; also
that the huge apple locomotive" was
awarded the highest premium of the
horticultural exposition.

Enoiner's Nerve Served.

His skull fractured by coming in con-
tact with a water plug as he leaned out
of the cab of his locomotive, Martin
Diefenderfer, a Reading railroad en-
gineer, retained his senses long enough
to bring his train to a standstill at the
regular stopping point at Middleport
station, distance of 400 feet, accord
ing to dispatch from Pottsville, Pa.
Then he dropped over unconscious,
his limp body hanging from the cab.
Nothing was known of the accident
until the locomotive failed to start at
the conductors signal.

Three Glasses of Fares.

The Swedish state railways have
three classes of fares, the proportion
in price being about as 5:3:2. Herto-
fore only the first and second class
passengers have had access to special
sleepers, also run by the state rail-
ways, but now sleepers have been also
put in for third-class passengers. The
price for these is very low. The fare
from Stockholm to Gothenburg, 285
miles, covered in ten hours, is So, and
the sleeper ticket is only 67 cents
extra.

Fournier, repre- senting the 9Uruanium Steamship line. against which the so-called London Conference lines controlling what is alleged to be 9S per cent of the Allan tic passenger traffic are arrayed. told how railroad authorities in this coun. try. notably the Central Passenger as sociation at Chicago, had refused to sell tickets routed over the independent lines unless the independents obtained the saction of the Conference lines.
 AS the result of todays evidence. MT. Dodsworth's brother, John w. Dods- worth, the editor of the Journal of commerce, will be recalled to Wash ington to explain why he failed to en-
 hshten the committee during his re- cent testimony. It Is probable that charles A.
