Used Strapped Engines.

1.-THE first of the new type Of duplex
engines was put upon the road about
a year ago, and it proved tt be SO sat
isfactory that sever such locomotives
have been turned out of the company's
shops at Spencer, n. C. The number
of trains has been reduced, though the
total tonnage is considerably greater,
and the speed of the trains run has
been increased. To effect this salts
factory result it was not necessary to
buy new cylinders, wheels or running
gear. The parts used We're taken from
scrapped Mogul and Consolidation en-
gines, so that the expense involved
was reduced to its lowest terms.
"The scrapped engines furnished
the frames. cylinders, wheels, axles,
side-rods and valve-motion complete.
BY the use of specially designed car
riers, the tanks of Mikado tenders
were mounted where the boiler of the
engines had formerly been. With Z
500 gallons of water and IL tons of
coal the auxiliary engine carries a
weight Of 10000 pounds as a maxi
mum, the minimum DelnS ABOUT lOO,-
600 pounds"
This duplex engine has 4 drawing
power of $4,000 pounds, as against 49,
600 for the single engine formerly
used. Steam is carried to the cylin-
ders under the tender by flexible
piping. The main or forward engine
runs on superheated steam ard the
rear on either saturated or super
heated steam.

The whole Of the conception, which I
take to be the conception of our fcl-

AS Tn MT. Br1tlmg sees IL Through, MT. Wells shows the astounding effect of the Great War on the normal civilian life of England, so in this new novel he shows it's effect on that bull wark of society, the church. The Bishop, brought up in reverence for the forms of religion, is overwhelmed by the terrific questions that the war hurls upon him, questions which these forms cannot help him answer. Mir. Wells solution is revo1u- tionary, yet his book is deeply religious.
 The publication of The Soul of a Bishop comes at an apt moment the moment when America is beginning to realize her own part in the world crisis and en- visage some of the material and spiritual transformations it may bring. (NIain Flo0r)

the people to action in this war. former
Ambassador to Germany James W.
Gerard is easily the most effective
worker. He speaks with authority
first hand. Besides he is an orator of
high rank and is gifted with Il keen,
analytical mind.
As Mr.. Gerard is to visit Montana
this summer, we suggest that the
chambers of commerce of Missoula and
other cities, lose no time in inviting
him TO address patriotic meetings.
There are still misguided people who
fancy that this war is a child's gam.
and will bc over before autumn. when
the allies will be IN Berlin. There arc
also thousands of fanaticpi paclfists
who say they will so to the stake
rather than fight.
1t is possible to uisi'lusion many of
these people and MIR. Gerard is tho best
man for the job. The iron hand of
Uncle sam viii reach for the others.
There will be a pleasing and neigh
horly touch to Mr.. Gerard's visit in the
accompanying presence Of his charm
