To have made her experi ence complete she should haVe taken one engine ride oa a dark and rainy 'night: yT' 1 -—- J —— In a day fight, ride on a locomotive we come to realise how slender is the rail and how fragile JtaL fastenings compared with the ponderous ma chines which they carry. We see what a trifling movement of a switch makes, the difference between life and death. We learn how short tho look ahead must often be and how close danger sits on either hand.. But ft js oulv iu a night ride we learn how dependent tlro-engiueer mustVe, after all, upon the faithful .vigilancg of others. The head light reveals a few yards of glis tening rail and ghostly telegraph, poles and switch targets. Were a switch open, a rail taken up, or a pile of tie* on tho track, we could not possibly see the danger in time to stop.—JI. G. Front iu Bcribner’s. Uzlog Steam Twloe, Andrews, of the steam corn- double. w. c pauy, told mo of a marvelous use of steam which his company has iwffT making; - Said he: -*‘I have couUmded that steam could be twice, but tlio engineers liave been against me iu opinion. But it is de monstrated now by practical opera tions. From our station at Fifty- eighth street and Madison avenue we supply steam for 1,100 electric lights at the Lenox Lyceum. This steam is supplied to the engines at 130 pounds pressure, and after it passes through tho cylinders the exhaust is passed at a pressure of sixty pounds into our street mains, where it serves to run el evators, heat houses, cook food and perform such other functions as we re quire of it “The steam thus does its work twios over. The saving is about 60 per cent., which is a clear net gain. Tory fsw people know, although it is a fact, that of tho steam that goes from a boiler into au engine only about 15, or at the most 20 per cent., is actually uti lised to create power. The other 80 to 85 per cent, is exlisust and goes off into the air, where it is wasted. Now we have discovered that this waste product can be made to serve just as perfect a purpose as if it were made fresh in a separate boiler. It means a great revolution in the steam busi ness.”—New York Press. Betlt |g _ The Sma-Hassen i rica, is » superb though in parts aged by lightning is beautiful.
