AS THE WORLD MOVES
ADVANCE OF RAILROADING IN ONE CENTURY.
Something Very Close to Perfection Has Been Reached in the compar-
 atively Short Time of a Hun k dred Years.

One hundred years ago the first To.
 comotive in the world to successfully
 haul a load of freight upon rails made
 its maiden trip. Invented by George
 Stephenson, the father of locomO. |tives," it made it's first run at Killing. worth col1iery in England. It had so many rods strapped to it's boiler that Tt had the appearance of huge grass hopper. It weighed about six tons. A pair of "walking-beams,' resembling those of Q modern side-wheel steamer turned the four wheels. There being
 mo cab, the engineer had to stand while the engine was ln operation It pulled eight loaded cars, which aggre.
 gated weight of 30 tons, up a track
 that had 8 grade of one foot in an
 eighth of mile. The test was a f.grand" success, the engine running about six miles an hour. Tho first To-.
 comotive to draw train of cars in the United States made it's experimental trip in the Lackawanna coal district fifteen years later. This locomotive also was the product of Stephenson It was called the Stourbridge Lion, after the place of it's manufacture in Eng Hand. Its American engineer, Horatio iAllen, ran the engine over track of hemlock rails for a preliminary test. Then he invited any gentleman ill the gathering of spectators to accompany him. His invitation was not only re- fused, but he was urged to give up his foolhardy ambition. Laughing at his advisers, he pulled the throttle wide and dashed" away at ten miles an hour.
 f Today more than 65,00O locomotives are in motion over the 250,000 miles of trackage in the United States. They consume about 150,O00,000 tons of coal, and carry more than 1,000,000,00O pas Isengers and. 1,S00,0oO,0OO tons of freight annually. After adopting tho English-born child of civilization. the
 ynited States took the lead in its de- ~ elopment and application. until today it stands as the worlds greatest manu- facturer of locomotives. Besides n.ak- ling enough to meet the domestic de- mand, the American manufacturers are shipping locomotives abroad at the rate of dozen a week to South Amer ica and Africa: they are disturbing the calm of the Orient, and are dashing from one end of Europe to the other, and have invaded the land of the loco motives birth, England. Like the steamship, the locomotive is growing larger and more powerful every year. The largest reported to be in use to- day is a huge compound engine, which measures 120 feet over all, and weighs 850,0OO pounds. It is an oil-burner and carries 4,0O0 gallons of oil and 12,O0O gallons of water. It cost $43,S30 to build. These giants have reached point where one locomotive is so long that it is hinged in the middle with a flexible joint so that it can turn curve without upsetting. Thus the To- comotive has become the modern At las that carries the burden of the worlds trade and population across the continents.

Railroad Advance.

Before the year 1880 most English railroad carriages had only four wheels and weighed ten tons. From 1880 to 1890 they had six wheels and weighed fifteen or sixteen tons; from 1890 to 1900 they had eight wheels and weighed twenty-four tons, and since 1900 the fashion is twelve wheels for dining and 1. sleeping cars and the weight thirty-fiye to forty tons.
