REVERSING THE ENGINE.
Something That Is Never Done Alter
 Applying the Brakes.

There are some popular technical fallacies so strongly intrenched in public belief that they survive in spite of reiterated contradiction. Among these is the belief that the first thing a locomotive engineer does, or one of the first, when he sees that a collision is inevitable, is to apply the brakes and reverse his engine.
 As a matter of fact, we doubt if one in 10000 of the locomotive engineers of this country would be guilty of the absurdity of reversing his engine and applying his brakes at the same time. There was day in the earlier history of railroading when an engineer would have been considered remiss in his duties if he did not in an emergency reverse his engine, but with the growth of technical knowledge 1t has come to be understood that to reverse the engine after applying the brakes is to defeat the very object for which the train brakes were applied.
 In justice to the early locomotive engineers, however, it should be re- membered that only the tender of the locomotive carried the brakes, not the engine itself, and under those conditions the reversing of the engine applied an additional, though comparatively small, retard- ing effect, supplemental to that af- forded by the tender brakes.
 The folly of reversing when there are brakes on the engine and these brakes are set is evident if we re- member that when the engine is running with the brakes applied the rctarding effect is due to the large aggregate area of contact between the brake shoes and the tread of the wheels, whereas when the engine is reversed the frictional area of the brake shoes is replaced by the very small area of the sliding surfaces in contact between the tread of the wheels and the rails, with the result that there is an immediate large re- duction Of the retarding effect of the engine on the train behind it

How to Become Rich.

My early difficulties taught me some thrift" said Mark Twain once, but l never knew whether 1t was wiser to spend my last cent for cigar to smoke or for an apple to devonr"
 "I am astonnded," observed friend, that person with so little decision should have met with So much worldly success"
 Mark Twain bent his head grayely.
