CLAIM is REFUTED
GEORGE STEPHENSON NOT FAITH
Err OF LOCOMOTIVE.
Credit for Building First Successful
Railroad Engine Produced in
1927, Given to Timothy
EIackWorth.

The world has been imposed upon
by Samuel Smiles in his popular writ
ing series. He wrote Life Of George
Stephenson" which is a disgrace, be-
cause dealing with such an important
historical matter as the development
of the locomotive engine he claimed
for Stephenson, by mere popular
writing, and against historical facts,
a position in the development of the
locomotive he did not hold.
There is not one invention in the
locomotive handed down by George
Stephenson. The only invention that
has his name attached to it is the
link melton, and that was the inven-
ton of an apprentice in the Stephen
son works, which invention Robert
Stephenson & Co. purchased.
The latest work on this great sub
ject, which should be in every library,
is the Evolution of the Steam Loco
motive, 1903 to $685." by G. A. Sekon,
editor of The Railway Magazine 1t is
there distinctly shown that the credit
of being named the Father Of the
Locomotive" belongs to Timothy Hack
worth.
Timothy Hackworth was associated
with William Hedley from 1911 to
1914. Mr.. Hackworth was foreman
over the mechanical department Of
Wylem colliery, and Mr.. Hedley was
coal viewer. They worked out the
traction ability of smooth rails and
smooth wheels together. They also
built two locomotive engines during
this period known as "Wylem Dilly"
and Putting Billy" The popular name
for these engines in the colliery dis
trict, where all the parties were
known, was "Timothys Dillys."
Stephenson used to visit Wylem col
liery on Sundays from Killingworth
colliery and make sketches of these
engines. He built a similar engine,
which was called my Lord" in 1914
at Killingworth colliery. All this,
however, is far from the point. These
engines were only stepping stones.
They were not successful as locomo-
tives.
The real success of the locomotive
was worked out on the Stockton &,
Darlington Railway, the first public
railway in the world, which was
opened for traffic on September q,
1925.
Timothy Hackworth went to the

Eight-Room Bungalow of a Type
That Is Constantly Growing

Houses of More Than One

lively Arranged.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford Will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

This is a type of bungalow that is
popular with many people because of
the room that is made available. 1t
requires careful work to retain the
bungalow effect and at the same time
make the house tall enough so that
several rooms can be secured on the
second floor. This has been accom-
plished in good style in the family
home that is shown here. The design
shows comfortable family house of
eight rooms with the coy appearance
of bungalow.
Many people insist on two.story or
story-and-a-half houses for several rea-
sons. The main reason is that the
maximum amount of space is secured
in the house considering the size of
the lot that the house must be built
on. This accounts many times for the
unattractive designs that are built
The owner of the lot feels that it will
be impossible, anyway, to get a pleas.

work is eliminated to large degree
A refrigerator is provided that can
be iced from the back room, and the
interior can be reached from the
kitchen.
On the first floor there are also
provided two bedrooms and a bath

If hot water or steam is decided on
pipe can be run to the garage to
keep it warm in cold weather. The
outside entrance to the basement in
creases its usefulness.
A feature of the second floor that
will appeal to the housewife especial
ly is the closet arrangement. Each
of the two bedrooms has two large
closets and another is placed in the
hall. At the back end Of the hall an
other bath is provided.
This plan presents an almost ideal
house of the bungalow type for the
good-sized family.

the work bench. This bench makes
the garage very useful as a general
repair shop.
The rooms are attractively arranged
for a family house. A space across
the front of the house can be utilized
if desirable. The front of the house
for depth of IS feet is occupied by
a living room and library or den.
The two rooms are separated by double
sliding doors so that the den can be
completely shut off from the rest of
the house If quiet place is desired.
In the opposite end of the living
room from the door to the den is
large fireplace which can be built in
any style that will be in keeping with
the rest of the furnishings that are
selected for this room.
Plenty of light is necessary to bring
out the best results with bungalow

exterior appearances. The bright and

TIE DAMsEL AND THE DUNGEON.

In the year 1854 the Empress Cath
crime II was seated upon the throne
of Russia, but not so firmly that she
really enjoyed herself. In those days
it was impossible to throw brick
in Russia without hitting two or three
conspirators. Intrigue was a profess
sion rather than a pastime, and the
leading patriots had a disagreeable
habit of strangling and otherwise muir
dering their rulers.
So Catherine, as she sat on her
throne, reigning according to the rules
laid down by the National league, kept
close tab on all that was going on,
not only in Russia but wherever it was
possible to have her spies. She was
determined that she wouldn't be taken
unawares. One day she received a
message from Florence, to the effect
that Prince Charles Radziwill was
paying court to Helen Tarakanoff, and
it was the general belief in Italy that
the two would soon be married
Catherine became so agitated that
she almost upset her throne when
she sprang to her feet and shrieked an
order for Prince Gregory Orloff to
wait upon her.
Helen Tarakanoff had been the
belle of Florence and Leghorn for sew
eral seasons. Her beauty was cele-

proceeded up the Neva to the fortress,
and there the wretched princess was
conducted along dark and noisome cor.
ridors, dripping and oozing water, and
was shown into black dungeon, wet
and foul. At the door she fell upon
her knees and begged that she might
at least know why she was prosecuted,
but there was no answer The jailors
pushed her into the dungeon, and
closed the great door upon her.
This dungeon, with the others on
the same level, was below the surface
Of the Neva, and it was deathly cold,
and water was always trucking down
the walls. There was a slit in the
outer wall, near the roof, and the cold
wind whistled drearily through this
slit through the long winter days and
nights; and in the summer she could
hear the river eternally lap-lapping
against the wall of her prison. No
sound of human voice ever reached
her; food was thrown to her, as to
Gagged hyena, through wicket in the
door, too high for her to see through,
For twelve years this martyred
maiden lived there in the black dark.
ness, cold and filth. For twelve years
she crawled over the Shiny stones like
reptile, and prayed for death.
But when death came she resented
it, and longed for more life, miserable
as it was. One day the Neva was in
flood. The waters rose higher than
ever before, and presently they began
to flow through the slit in the wall

| geon. She tore up huge rocks that
formed the floor of the cell-rocks she
could not have stirred at ordinary
times-and threw them against the
door. A warder came and asked her
angrily what she meant, and she
pointed to the water flowing in
through the slit. LET me out, or
perish!" she cried.
Nobody leaves cell without an
official order" said the warder, and
the door changed shut.
When the flood went down the ema.
ciated almost naked body of the poor
princess was taken from the dungeon
where she had drowned and was
buried by two soldiers.
And hundreds of such stories would
rouse the indignation of mankind If
the walls Of Russian prisons coule
speak.

were at the seashore, intent upon hav.
ing good time, and they looked upon
Orloff as a great acquisition, for he
spent his money like an intoxicated
mariner and was the life and soul of
every social jamboree.
The Princess Helen, twenty years
old, and lovely as a seraph, was there
with the rest of the girls, and it soon
was evident to everybody that Orloff
was desperately in love with her. He
followed her everywhere, and made
her magnificent presents. And it soon
was equally evident that Helen was

After a series of brilliant shore en-.
tertainments, Orloff invited the whole
push to a big fete on board his war.
ship. 1t was an evening to be remem-
bered. The almost barbarian magnifi.
cence of Orloff and his ship made
great impression. AS the guests were
departing, Orloff begged the princess
to remain until the others were gone,
as he had message for her. She
thought she knew what the message
was. 1t would be one of love; and
she seated herself TRANQUILITY to wait.
The last guest wac gone, and Crloff
approached her. But there was no
smile Of love on his face or in his
eyes. The brute in his nature was
uppermost. Without word, he seized
her wrist and dragged her roughly to
a foul hole in the bottom of the ship,
and locked door upon her. And the
ship set out to sea.
Throughout the voyage the once
pampered and beautiful princess was
everybody's serf. She was obliged to
do all the dirty work for the cook;
to peel the vegetables and wash
dishes and scrub the floor; and the
cook, who was as great a brute az
Orloff, treated her like a dog. If she
begged for mercy, he struck her
across the mouth; and once he
dragged her about the vessel by the
hair, and Orloff looked on and
grinned.
In time the ship reached Cronstadt,
and anchored; and the night after it's
arrival boat came alongside, and the
princess was thrown into it. The boat

her pleasant disposition. She was

of all classes. She was surrounded by
mystery. There could be no question
Ing her patrician descent, but her his

few people in the world knew that she
was the daughter Of the Empress Eliz-
hbeth of Russia. Catherine, of course,
was one of the few who knew the
truth, and the continued existence of

uneasiness to her. That uneasiness

than poison, yet had dreams of be-

really coveted. 1t may easily be seen
how a marriage with the Princess
Helen would have been desirable in
the furthering of his schemes. He
was a bold and enterprising man, and
Catherine was afraid of him.
Prince Gregory Orloff responded to
her summons at once. He was a man
of majestic appearance, viewing him
from the front. He had all kinds of
face. He had a commanding figure
and immense shoulders. But the back

straight line up and down. Prince
Gregory was one of the strongest men

iron pokers into corkscrews, and roll
heavy metal plates into balls. He
could throw small horse over his
head. Men Of average strength were
