A Record Wrecking Wrecker.

A wrecker car that runs itself, dispens-
ing with the customary engine, saves at
least an hour on getting to a wreck,
works at both ends, and can be handled
at either end. Is the latest addition to rail-
road equipment. Something similar was
installed before in Pennsylvania, but the
new one. now operating in New York city,
is larger and has many new appliances.
The car is run by electricity. and can
go at the rate of thirty-flv miles an hour
with a load of 100 tons. 1t depends as a
rule on the third rail. but it has its own
dynamo that will take it anywhere. The
car body is fifty-seven feet long and nine
feet six inches wide. and Is all-steel
throughout
On each end of the car is crane which
has a lifting capacity of 100 tons. There
is also boom each end, which will
revolve through 100 degrees. The booms
can be worked separately or together
AT each end is a cab which controls the
corresponding boom. the one at the other
end, or both. Air control does away with
all heavy levers.
The car is run by four 20O-horsepower
electric railway motors. the current COM
ing from the third rail. When the rail
cannot be used there will be the storage
battery of 80 cells. The weight of the
car and all its apparatus is $4,000 pounds,
which is considered extremely light, in
view of all that it does.

was regular attendant at Zion
and we had learned to- admire
him. We had visited him dur
ing his sickness and regret very
much our inability to attend his
burial.

Zion next Saturday. Hope every
family of the church will be on
hand with their basket, for when
