First Streamlined Train
Patented SO Years Ago

Boston. ~ That newest develop
ment of this speed-mad era, the
streamlined train, seemed new, but
now it appears that it was all
worked out back in 1865 by Rox-
bury clergyman, Rev. Samuel R.
Calthrop.
Doctor Calthrop's designs in the
patent office, where he filed them
60 years ago, bear remarkable re-
semblance to the new Zephyr.
The train had the appearance of
one unit, the cars being Joined by
flexible vestibules The locomotive
had a shovel-like snout and was
completely sheathed, except for the
stack-for this, of course, was to
be a steam train. Windows and
doors were built flush with the
sheathing, which extended all the
way around the cars, the wheels
running in slots, the rear of the
last car tapering to a point In the
latest approved manner. Another
modern feature was system of
forced ventilation with which Doc
tor Cathrop anticipated air condi-
tioning.

DAMAGE TO PEACH CROP
w. L. Derickson Learns Crop i'm
Kent, New Castle Practically Lost

w. t. Derickson, director of the
Bureau of Markets, of the State
Board of Agriculture, reports that
Delaware peach growers suffered a
severe loss from the cold weather
about three weeks ago. A large
percentage of the growers in Kent
and New Castle Counties report
that they have not been able to
find any live peach buds in their
orchards. Others report few
scattering buds, but it is apparent
that practically all peaches in these
two counties are destroyed. Tenn
peratures did not range quite so
low in Sussex county, and while
many growers report a complete
loss there are few who feel they
still have 25 to 80 per cent live
buds left in their orlhards, and in
some cases a few more This con-
dition seems to prevail in all parts
of Sussex county. Reports receiv-
ed by the Bureau of Markets indi-
cate there has been a very severe
damage to peaches in other states.
New Jersey reports that practical
ly 100 per cent of all peaches
south of Trenton are killed. Penn
sylvania reports it had several
days when the temperature ranged
from IL to 18 degrees below zero
A complete official report is not
yet available However from
private sources, it is indicated
there is "a severe loss. Official re
ports in Maryland have not yet
been received. but reports soon af-
ter the freezing, indicated that the
damage was quite severe.

LOST IN
OREGON STATE
Came Out Side of Mountain
In Cascade Locks, But
Disappeared
ENGINEERS B FFL E ID

Bonneville, Ore. A turbulent
river which flowed out of a noun
tain at the south abutment of the
famous legendary bridge of the Gods
west of Cascade Locks, Ore, disap-
peared in 1918 and army engineers
say they cannot find it.
The engineers searched for months
for the stream, sufficient In volume
to supply the city of Portland, but
announced they were baffled and
would give up the search tempo
rarily.
The army experts must find the
missing water eventually, because
they have to make the mountain
behave. They cannot have the huge
rock, which Indians claim once
formed a natural bridge across the
wide Columbia river. sliding around
the landscape as it has in the past.
The mountain threatens to cause
trouble for the Union Pacific rail-
way trackbed through the Columbia
gorge. The federal government is
building a new bed for the railway
between Bonneville and Cascade
locks to replace the present line,
which will be covered by water
when the Bonneville power dam is
completed and the Columbia river
is backed up for fifty miles.
The mountain slowly is sliding to-
ward the Columbia river on a bed
of solid rock. The migratory
grounds, known as Ruckel slide. is
saturated with water, crumbling
and unreliable.
The missing stream used to flow
from eight bores into the mountain
side made by the Union Pacific, to
preserve its tracks from being
swept away. Before the tunnels
were built it cost the railroad S50,-
GOO a year to keep its line in re-
pair over mile and one-half
stretch.
In 1918 the flow of water ceased.
The railroad tracks, however, were
not affected further. Engineers
theorized that the flow was halted
by a disturbance within the earth,
which caused the interior of the
mountain to buckle. They believed
the stream found a new subterra-
mean passage into the Columbia.
Biologists assert that an entire
lake probably is held within the
mountain. Government engineers
recently bored three tunnels into
the mountain to a depth of 1000
feet. They also drilled a number
of wells to supply Harvey valley
with water. Now they are waiting
to see how much water will come
out of all the bores during the win
ter and hoping the entire vagrant
river will come to the surface.
