people; town of the Bear Pit, always
with supply of bears, or berne, and
all of the bears the pets Of all Berne;
town of the most grotesque street
fountains in the world, and town OF
other things too many to mention.
The grand national exhibition Of
Switzerland, which will take place In
1914 at Berne, the capital of the Swiss
federal government, will no doubt
form one of the chief events of Eu-
rope, and it may therefore be inter
esting to become acquainted with
some of the principal features Of
Berne.
There are but few capitals in the
world which despite their numerous
links with modern international life
have been able to preserve their char
acteristic peculiarities so well as
Berne, which among the more import
ant Swiss towns may be called the
most Swiss. This may be said both
from the point of architecture as well
as the character of the population.
There are two powerful towers with
massive gates dividing the old part of
the town. one of which, the Clock-Tow-
err, contains the famous clock, a
unique work Of great mechanical skill,
which no visitor to Berne will fail to
see and watch at midday.
On all sides and walks around Lac
Leman; all the way to Ber4e, one has
views, sometimes only glimpses of IA
nous mountains. On the lake the
great Dent du Midi, ever snow-covered,
is constantly in view, and Mont Blanc,
sixty miles away, at Aimes. On the
rail trip one occasionally glimpses the
crest Of Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau,
Matterhorn, Wetterhorn.

Berne, Switzerland-All roads lead

lakes and invigorating and curative
springs and baths. The lakes of Kill

were first introduced into New Eng
land.
Take, for instance, the Gardiner and
compare it with the first locomotive to
turn a wheel in Maine, in 1886, on the
old Bangor, Oldtown & Veazie rail
These little engines were built in
England had one pair of driving
wheels, one pair of leading wheels, no
cab pilot or headlight. They weighed
about six tons and could run only in
one direction, as they had no revers-
ing mechanism The rails were of
wood. which were later improved by
boiling iron straps on them.
The Gardiner was a great improve
ment over those engines, and repre-
sented the latest in locomotive con-
struction at that date. 1t was built at
Taunton, Mass, by Fairbanks, later
known as the Taunton Locomotive
Works, in 1854, with cylinders 15x22
in. and 5-foot drivers. for the Kenne-
bee & Portland Railroad Company,
better known by it's later name of
Portland & Kennebec.
1t was designed for freight service,
and for many years hauled freight be-
tween Augusta and Portland. Finally
the old machine was put in the pas
senger service and pulled the night
Pullman. Eventually It became at
tached to the work train service, and
was finally sold In the late 70's to the
Canada Southern Railway.
When first put in service this loco
motive was equipped with the old
hook motion, which was later changed
to the Stevenson link motion. The
Gardiner was snowy engine, resplen
dent with brass work and fancy paint
ing. On the tank was landscape rep
resenting train Of cars crossing
long arched bridge. The drivers were
painted red, and there was an orna-
mental molding under the caves of the
cab.
The Gardeners drivers we're only
one inch less in diameter than
the large B. & M. Mallet locomotive.
The Gardiner weighed about So tons,
and the modern engine 228 tons.
The Gardeners cylinders were 15x22
inches, while the 1915 cylinders are
22x30 inches high pressure, and 35x30
inches low pressure. The Gardiner
had two pairs of drivers, the 1891 has
six.
In the method of firing and in the
amount of work the fireman had to do
there was vast difference. The
GARDENERS fireman had to help wood
up the tank before starting and sew
eral times on the run, when the whole
crew helped The cylinders were oiled
from the outside, and cylinder cocks
had each to be opened and closed
from the outside.
The cocks we're opened while stand
ing at station. After the engine was
under way and the condensed water
freed from the cylinders, the fireman
had to make his way along the run
ming board to the cylinders, reach
Town and shut each cock on both
tides of the engine, and return to the

GUARD RAIL

Have you ever noticed a strip OF
rail attached to a part of the railway
lines just where there is a sharp
curve? For the information of those
not in the business, it may be stated
that this rail is called the guard rail,
and enables the wheels of the train to
maintain a grip on the metals where
the curve is.
