Cost of Stopping Train.

A railroad in the southern part OF
the United States, in order to make II
plain TO its patrons why suburban
trains are not stopped whether there
are passengers or not, has carefully
computed the cost of stopping train
The calculation was made that it costs
about 60 cents to stop freight train
of 1000 tons and then to speed it W
again to it's normal rate of % miles
an hour. This calculation was, OF
course, based upon the price OF coal
One-half of this expense represented
the amount of coal burned; then there
was the time wasted by the men, this
being valued at 10 cents. The veal
and tear on the brakes and the start
ing mechanism was estimated at =
cents.

| ZlGZAG ROAD IN AUSTRALIA
Famous Piece of Railroad Now Re-
placed by Dozen Expensive Tun-
neIs to Make Big Descent.

In looking back over the history OF
the original settlement at Sydney, at
first 1t seems strange that the base OF
the Blue mountains, plateau 5000
feet in height and a days ride from the
coast, should mark the edge of known
land for % years after civilization,
writer in the National Geographic
Magazine observes.
There are, however, good reasons for
this seeming lack of enterprise. The
Blue mountains, though not lofty, are
broad. and constitute formidable bar
rier. There are no long valleys head
ing in practicable passes and furnish
ing access from the east and the west !;
the stream heads are boxes incloSed by
walls. and it was only when the narrow
| divides were chosen for CauSeways that
| the passage of the mountains was sue
cessfully accomplished.
The famous ''zigzags" of the first
railrOad, now replaced by dozen ex-
pensive tunnels required for the pre-
cipitous descent of 1000 feet, give

RAISING AN engine
HOW IMMENSE LOCOMOTIVE WAS
RESCUED AT SAN PEDRO.
Railroad Superintendent Devised In
aenious Method to Recover Large
Engine Which Had Toppled
Over Into Bay.

While handling a pile driver equip
ment used in rebuilding an old trestle
ut San Pedro, Cal, 4 lotion IocumO-
tive broke through its track, toppled
over the piling supporting the ucStIe
and fell down a sIoping embarrassment
to the bottom of the buy. 1t went
through 30 feet of water and half
buried itself, top down, in slime and
mud.
\ floating derrick barge with equip
ment powerful enough to raise the ell
CINE was not available. A local rail-
road superintendent finally devised an
ingenious method by which the big
engine was successfully recovered.
Two bargcS, each Of 20O-ton capaC-
| ity, were 1loatCd out over the approx
| mate location of the drowned loco
motive. They were placed parallel 10
| each other and united nj each end by
two girdrrS made of three logs of 20
foot piling dashed together with a 4l2'
inch manila rope tied about the piling
and bits. AS each turn of this flashing
was made hoisting engine was useC
to pull the rope tight. \ complete
coil of rope was used at each end O
the girder, and several short laShing
were made between the ends as well.
Before the hosting work started
some Objectionable pile stumpS had L
be sawed off close to the bottom o
the bay by diver with q short piec
of crOss-cut saw. The first operation
necessary was to turn the engine an
its tender right side up. This had I
be done in two operations as the tel
der and engine could not be separated
owing to their depth in the slime.
To support the engine, three clu'
tiers of large timbeTS We're rigge
across the bargeS. Two of these wei
placed at each end and one in III
middle. From these supports one an
one-half inch steel cables were drOppe
to the engine, passed under it AZ
made fast to 1t by the diver.
When the cables were all made ia
below and drawn tight about the su
porting timberS above, 5O-ton h
draulic jacks were placed at each eI
of the supporting bridging. AS Il
