ners. The Page engine ran from the
station and got out as far as Bladens-
burg. when something happened and II
was towed back to the city by a switch
engine"
After the appearance of that TAM
BILE" Mr.. Frizzell furnished the infor-
nation that the Page engine was an
electric locomotive. and that DR.. Page
was employed in the United States
patent office. The fact that an electric
locomotive had had a trial in the Dis
trict of Columbia in the early sos
promised some interesting develop
ments. and the Rambler wrote to an
official of the patent Office and received
the information that at the time in
dictated DR.. Page was a principal ex-
aminer in the patent ONCE in charge
Of printing and electricity. He patent
ed an electric engine January 81. 1884,
the model of which is in the National
Museum. The engine was also patent
ed in England. Charles G. Page. a son
of DR.. Page. is now living In Chicago.
The Rambler was furnished with va
rious references whereby he might
with this early electric engine. One of
these references was to the American
Railroad Journal of 1851 containing
description OF the engine three
years before the date of the patent. 1t
is probable that the patent of 1884 COW
CINE described in 1851.
IN the American Railroad Journal or
the date mentioned the Rambler read
the account of Pages Electro-Mag-
netic Engine" part of which account
follows:

of Mr.. Pages electromagnetic engine.

together SO as to form two cylinders.
These cylinders are placed in the line
of their axes, but far enough apart to
be out of the sphere of mutual attrac-
ton. They are connected each with a
galvanic battery so that they may be
alternately charged and discharged. A
bar of iron passes through these two
