The OBSERVATORY
THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE


farm house, got the farmer to yoke
up his oxen and with four big oxen
hitched on in front of the engine with
big draft chain, actually hauled that
engine and three cars up that grade!
When George Stephenson made his
first locomotive, "the Rocket" there
was not in existence a machine driven
by any other than hand power to work
on iron; and the cylinders for his en-
CINE had to be first chiseled smooth,
then rasp and file used, and finally
polished by hand with emery. What
a contrast to present day machine
shop with its power machines by
which one man may tend dozen ma
chimes and do all the bright work on
an engine in less time that it took to
prepare one cylinder of that first en-
CINE.
| wonder how many persons know
that sails were tried to propel cars on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
the beginning; and that the cars on
| the rails used on some of the first
railroads were of wood topped with
strap-iron; and sometimes in the sum
mer when the nails which fastened
the iron to the wood became loOsened,
and the rails expanded in the heat
they would curl up and the ends pene-
trate the bottom of the passing car
and cause disaster
A few years ago as the engines in
creased in size they became very high
to allow room enough for the eccen-
tries and valve motions; the narrow
gauge engines of the early Rocky
Mountain roads had to be hung SO
low to keep the center of gravity at
proper height that the valve motion
machinery was put outside the piston
rods between. cylinders and drivers
and those little engines were dubbed
Sewing -machines;" to reduce the
height of the present monster engines
the same methods have been applied
and one may see the valve motions or
the outside of the pistons and side
rods. The great engines which draw
our passenger trains through our city
impress one with their power, as they
quickly take steam" and walk away
with the long trains. But a few
months ago ! saw number 903 lyinf
helpless on her side in the yard a
Huntington; being left alone she haC
somehow gotten power enough t.
slowly move and run off the end of
, siding, and without steam, dead" a
the engine men call it, she lay as help
less as pile of scrap iron. To mi
, it never ceases to be wonder tina
men can construct such a powerful
, machine, and so perfectly ADJUSTED
, that a puny man can as easily contro
, it as a lady her baby carriage!-

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but II cannot be removed
by simply local treatment: 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. IL
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads 10 consumption.
Hood g Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that 1t IS known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. II builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There Ii no
real substitute.

plants of the electric light and
water company, the laundry, three

WAR TAXES TO KEEP
UP SAYS DELIVERING

Marysville, Nov. 13.-Congress-
man Guy T. Helvering left this
afternoon for Washington, D. c., to
look after much preliminary work
before the converting of congress.
AS regarding legislation likely to
be enacted at this session of con-
gress Mr.. Helvering expressed it as
his opinion that the present emer-
gency tax will be reenacted at an
early date in the session. The exist
ing revenue tax on sugar, in his
opinion, will be retained and there
will be very little tariff legislation
enacted excepting that affecting SUI
gar.
Mr.. Helvering expressed himself
as being opposed to any extensive
military or naval program, except
ing the filling in of the weak spots
in the navy and the appointment OF
a further number of army officers.
