1t is already in active service and at
tracts a great deal of attention among
railroad men wherever it goes.
The chief point of construction
which distinguishes these engines
from others OF similar type is in the
fact that they are each four-cylinder
balanced simple locomotives. The
combining Of the balanced feature
with a simple engine has been used
In Europe, but these new engines are
the only ones of this type in America,
and are the only inspection locomo-
tives thus equipped in the world. Be-
low the forward end Of the new loco
motives are located four equal cylin-
ders, those on the outside being on
nected with drivers, and the inside
cylinders driving through practically
duplicate connections to the crank
axle. Between the cylinders Is a
single piston valve with inside admis-
sion. The valve chamber has only
two steam ports. An opening In the
port allows the steam to enter the
rear Of one cylinder and the forward
end Of the other simultaneously and
In equal amounts. This maintains
the balance. The valve gear, as will
be seen, Is of the Walschaert type.
AS indicated in the photograph, the
observation room and the engineers
and freman's quarters are under the
same room. There are four chairs on
each side Of the boiler in the observa-
ton room. The interior finish of this
room is elaborate. An arrangement
for signaling the engineer Is located
near the right-hand front chair. The
front doors, 1t will be noted, open out
ward to winding steps. To prevent
a dust from being blown into the
observation coach, the tender is
equipped with a sheet-iron covering.
The weight of the new locomotive
In working order is 1926. 800 pounds.
The weight on the drivers is s 500
pounds. The diameter of the drive
wheels over tires Is 60 inches. The
wheel base of the engine and tender
Is about 48h feet The boiler is
wagon top in shape, and has a work
Ing pressure Of 1870 pounds. The total
heating surface is 1.466 square feet.
The water capacity of the tender is
$500 gallons. and the coal capacity
ten tons. The diameter and stroke OF
the cylinder Is 1211 by 20 inches.

ONE CAUSE OF BROKEN RAILS
Iron Trade Review Arises In Defense
Of the Good Name Of the
Makers.

Recently a passenger, train between
Chicago and Indianapolis was wreck
ed, although, fortunately, no one was
injured. Examination Immediately
after the wreck showed that a rail-
over which the train had passed was
broken into five pieces. The railroad
employees did not fail to take advant-
age of this opportunity to call atten
ton to the apparently inferior quality
OF h rail and to convey the impress
sion that the steel maker was ulti-
mately responsible for the accident.
However, there were ONE other
very significant circumstances con-
nected with this wreck which the rail
o a people did not dwell upon. An
examination Immediately after the &C
cldent showed that several of the ties
under the broken rail we're rotted to
a depth of at least one and one-half
inches, and were so soft that an or
binary pocket knife could be stuck in
to the wood the full length of its
blade with scarcely any effort. Some
OF the spikes in the ties were so loose
they could be pulled out with the
fingers. Several OF the ties had been
broken of short by the accident. One
OF these showed a core OF sound
wood of not over ten square inches in
cross section, equal to about a quarter
OF the total section area Of the tie.
1t Is very evident that the real
cause of the wreck was not due to n
failure of the rail, but to the fact that
the rail had practically no support
and was, therefore. subjected to enor-
nous stresses for which 1t had never
been designed.
Broken rails have been rather fire.
Quent lately and rail makers have
been the target for a great deal OF
criticism. 1t Is not unlikely that q
careful investigation OF all the recent
wrecks attributed to broken rails
would indicate hat in several cases
1t was the ties and roadbed which
were at fault.-Iron Trade Review.

COULD NOT SEE THE JOKE
German Railroad Official Utterly Un.
able to Appreciate Humor Of
American Traveller.

Ever ride in a German express? 2"
said a traveller. We'll, they call 1t
over there a 'schnellzug,' meaning
fast train
Il was going from Cologne to
Mainz, l think 1t was, and the thing
was not making any more speed than
an American milk train. Out OF my
disgust and my small knowledge OF
German l evolved what l thought was
an original name. l decided that in
stead OF being a schnellzug the train
really was a snailzug and looked about
for somebody to benefit with my wit
ty conceit. There was nobody about
that looked as If he spoke English,
SO l yelled for the conductor. He came,
a fat military person, covered with a
uniform and an array of medals.
Conductor l remarked pleasant
ly, I have decided that this train is
not a schnellzug. but a snailzug.'
"'Wass? he shouted. / tried to
explain. His expression increased in
perplexity. l exhausted all my Ger
man and all his English in the effort
to make myself plain. Finally we be-
gan to understand, but he did not ap-
preciate the joke. On the contrary,
he seemed to consider | had been
guilty Of a personal afront. and l had
to apologize or run the risk OF being
put of the train. After that l never
dared to joke with a German con
ductor."

Sioux Falls.-Dr. w. G. Smith, q
commissioners who has just returned
from Chicago, has brought the peo-
pie of that part of the state lying
west of the Missouri river, and of four
counties lying east of. the river, a
substantial New Years present in the
form of free freight rates on seed
grain which will be needed for the
coming season.
The railroads which have consented
to grant free freight rates on seed
grain hauled to those portions of
South Dakota mentioned are the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chica-
go IL Northwestern, the Fort Pierre &
Rapid City, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Minneapolis & ST..
Louis.
After enumerating the above rail
roads which have granted the rate.
Or. Smith stated that they have
agreed to haul to county commission
ers in the counties tributary to their
lines west of the Missouri river in car
lots, free of freight charges, seed
grain from Minneapolis and points on
their line in eastern South Dakota,
who will buy and distribute the seed
grain at the price at point of loading,
80 that the farmer will get the bene-
mt of the free freight"
The counties east of the Missouri
river to which the free rate applies are
Faux, Edmunds, Mcpherson and Wal
worth. This concession means much
for western South Dakota, for it en-
ables the farmers to get free of
freight charges the best seed grain in
the northwest. The free rate will go
into effect in a few days.
