LIKE THE THREE-cYLINDERs
Latest Idea In Locomotives Is An

nounced Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. J. 8. Bell read paper
on the subject o. three-cylinder loco
motives, In which he gave particulars
regarding three Of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the Same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1917 inches. and each has it's own pis-
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years in fast passenger SER
vice, where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad.
vantages are that they secure a uni.
form turning moment, the cranks be-
ing placed at 100 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for lower factor Of adhesion than
'two-cylinder engines. They are easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple, compound, or
triple-expansion MISUNDERSTANDING

parel is very small indeed when COM
pared to her sister OF the Occident.
She wears 1880 worth Of clothing un-
der her kimono, the latter costing
about $26. The obi costs another $25.
Numerous tying paraphernalia sum UP
to $17.25, and a set Of footwear
amounts to about SO. Combs and hair
pins, ornamented with gems, cost
$245; a shawl, $3.50; a diamond neck
clasp, $3.50; total OF a little more
than $500 for a season. This is very
modest outlay when compared to the
enormous cost of apparel for the wo.

MAKES coALING EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons Of Fuel
In Space Of Only q Few
Seconds.

The coaling Of locomotives at large
terminals, where a great many engines
are dispatched, requires the handling
Of large amount Of coal. The mod.
ern engine carries Is tons-SO, 900
pounds.
In the early days this coal was ehov-
eled direct from cars. carried into en-.
gines by hand In small two.bushel
boxes. or taken direct from mines ad-
joining the main line, but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located On spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed to de-
liver coal In from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect.
cd at convenient places. usually about
fifty miles apart.
Freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with
out taking coal. In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hav-
Ing 300 tons storage, and so arranged
as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal Is dumped from
self-clear1ng cars into a concrete Dit,
where 1t runs by gravity into an ele-
yator having ton buckets. which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole ar.
rangement makes a resourceful and
economical coaling plant, as an engine
can take ten tons Of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidi@g delay to trains.
