in the Frisco Employees Magazine. The
South Carolina railroad was chartered
in 1922, and in few years was COM
pleted from Charleston to Hamburg,
and over the Savannah river to Au-
gusta, Ga. In 1884 it was the longest
continuous line of railroad in the Unit
ed States or Europe.
Through the efforts of a Mr.. Miller
of Charleston the first locomotive built
in this country was constructed for the
South Carolina railroad. This engine,
bearing the name 'sThe Best Friend"
ran for many years with great success
upon the road. A, queer accident that
happened to ''The Best Friend may
as well be recounted here. The engine
had negro fireman. unused to the
ways of steam, who became much an
noyed at the sound Of the escaping
steam of the safety valve. Accordingly
he did the first thing that came to his
mind to remedy the matter and tied
down the safety valve. The result was
an explosion that destroyed him and
partly destroyed the engine. '"The Best
Friend was soon rebuilt and put back
upon the track to do its accustomed
work. The distance from Charleston
to Hamburg, 1876 miles, was performed
in daylight, from in the morning to 6
at night. The president of the railroad
was John Ravenel. e

Doubling Gasoline Mileage

decorating. We used to call the knock
spark knock, but Mr.. G. f.. Referring
and Mr.. Thomas Midgley, Jr., both
members of the Society of Automotive
Engineers, and well-known scientists,
showed the world that the knock was
caused by certain compounds in the
gasoline exploding with great violence.
The ethyl fluid which is put into the
gasoline simply prevents these com
pounds from exploding with a bang.
Ethyl gas is composed Of tetra-ethyl-
lead of which I wrote some time ago,
plus some other compounds and red
pigment. These compounds are put in
to prevent the tetra-ethyl-lead from
possibly doing any damage to the en-
CINE. The red pigment is used to make
the fuel easily identified. There is abb
solutely no more danger than in using
ethyl gas than from using ordinary
gasoline. / shall write more about
ethyl gas next week.
If ethyl gas is used in a non-car-
bombed engine and continued to be
used, the engine will not carbonize and
valve grinding will not be necessary.
