+ 0n a Renaway Engine.

< ’ ¢ Disastrous Result of the Test of ‘) the First Big Locomotive & Out of Boston.

T WAS a proud day for Reuben Finch I when he was selected as engineer of ine big, cight-wheeled freighter, Massachusetts. Back in the forties, when railroading was young and innovations were regarded with an interest not jaded with the many inventions and contrivances of modern science, the news that the Western railroad, which pow forms a part of the Boston & Albany system, had put on a mammoth freight engine, larger than any vet tried, excited a widespread curiosity, not limited to the circle of railroad men, whiech was then much smaller than it is now. Among the engineers and firemen, however, the curiosity had sometl{ing of excitement mingled with it, born of the desire to be put in charge of the great engine. And so Finch was an envied man the day his appointment was made known. Not less fortunate than Finch, in the estimation of his brotherhood, was James Marcey, who was selected to run with him as fireman on the Massachusetts. It was something to be placed in charge of a mighty monster, which made all the other engines on the road lock like children’s toys. . : . . ]

Early in December the Massachusetts was brought up from the shops at Lowell, and was sent up and down the road, while Finch adjusted every little part till she was in good working trim. The test of the engine was awaited with great interest, as fabulous tales were told of the number of cars she could haul.. The test was to be a severe one, but there was one thing that interfered; there were not cars enough around to make it interesting. In those days the freight traffic was very limited. Each read kept its own cars on its own road, as the railroad men say, and the variety from every road in the country could not be seen on each track, as it is to-day. So, to get enough cars, a tribute was levied on each passing freight train. It delayed the traffic a few days, but goods sent by freight in the forties were not perishable. The test was to be made over the track from Worcester to Springfield, and on December 18, 1840, 35 cars had

been collected. enough, it was thought, to give the engine a moétthorough test, for 35 cars made a tremendous load, as loads were then. In the afternoon Finch and Marcey oiled up the parts anew and made everything ready for ~ ‘the triumphal trip to Springfield. A couple of toots on the whistle, a clanging of the bell and Finch, opening the throttle, felt the great engine roll out on the main track with seemingly as little effort as though there were not a string of freight cars behind her nearly a quarter of a mile long. There were two or three men in the cab with Finch and Marcey, among _them Wilson Eddy, known the country - over in later years as the veteran master mechanic of the Boston & Albany railroad. Majestically the Massachu- . setts swung along and there was noth- } ing to mar the smocothness of the ma- { chinery’s motion. It was a brisk winter /4 day and the rails were covered with #fl..frost, but the great wheels did not slip. Railroad accidents were new . things then, and it was as yet an un- § discovered fact that an engine could £ run away, with its engineer powerless £ to control it. There were but two brakes "on the train, but this caused no uneasi- = ness, particularly as there was that _ great engine to depend upon. 8 In those days the railroad had not 8 yet been extended across the Connectl- - gflfer at Springfield, but the abut- . Qfi for a bridge were being built. = i "fi*’ re the handsome Boston & Albany 8 station was built at Springfield there | was a steep grade which swept down L i”:‘” he city from the east. e : *“;5”;@ about a mile back from Qithe city the track dropped quickly 84 ;:A station and came to an ‘Bend at the river bank, 300 yards below. ‘@ This was the jumping-off place, for the - Spacks had not been built out on the

e R S S e N R ee B eS VR Y R € TT R i river bank, not far away. It was here that the engines were faced about for the return ‘trips. . 5 As the Massachusetts, coming in triumphantly from its 50-mile run, approached the brink of the hill a mile back from the river, Finch began to slow down and as he did so he began to realize that the heavy train had considerable impetus. He was afraid to risk going down the grade with so few brakes and decided to stop and block the wheéls, seeing that the track was very slippery. So he shut off the steam and applied the brakes. To_ his surprise they seemed to have no effect oh the heavy train. “Watch out, Finch,” said Marcey, “or you’ll have us on the grade. It's pretty slippery.” ; Finch made mo reply, but nervously reversed the throttle, sending the wheels spinning backwards over the greasy rails in spite of the weight of the engine, but not staying in the least the movement of the train. The dip in the grade came nearer and nearer, and at last Finch cried: - ; “My God, boys, I don’t believe I can stop her!” Then suddenly the engine leaped forward as it felt the steeper grade, and the speed increased each second in spite of Finch’s efforts as car after car swept over the brink and pushed forward with a force that was not to be resisted. The occupants of the cab could do nothing but cling to the engine with a helplessness which became despair, as they saw that the big engine was entirely beyond control. But as the Massachusetts came rushing down toward the depot the full horror of the sifuation burst upon her occupants, for there seemed to be no way to escape plunging straight into the abutments of the new bridge.

There was a scramble for the side of the cab. Eddy made the first jump and he rolled off the tracks just at the station, unhurt. Moore, the conductor, and Nichols, a fireman who was riding in the cab, jumped next and were not seriously injured, while back of them the trainhands were jumping to the right and left for their lives. Finch bravely stuck to the Massachusetts, doing all he could to stop the headlong rush and planning to jump at the last moment at the river bank, and Marcey stayed with him. A few seconds more and the whole train would be piled up in the river, but just then a curious thing occurred. As the Massachusetts reached the point where the spur track led off to the roundhouse, Finch felt a .sudden jerk sidewise that told him the engine had taken the switch, and realizing that it must plunge into the roundhouse instead of the river he jumped without an instant’s hesitation and without seeing what his landing place was going to be. He luckily struck a clear spot just in front of the roundhouse and went rolling yards away from the track, while the mighty engine with its long train of cars went rushing at full speed through the double doors. Marcey had delayed his jump too lowg and was buried in 4he debris into which the roundhouse engine and cars were resolved. Abel Willard, the master mechanic of the road, had heard the engine coming down the grade, and supposing that it was some engine wanting to come in there, had thrown the switch. The force with which the Massachusetts, pushed by the heavy train, struck the roundhouse was tremendous. The old engine, Hampden, which was standing on the track inside, was driven through the brick wall on the further side and brought up standing, after climbing a woodpile which stood on the very brjnk of the river. But for this the Massachusetts would have gone into the river after all, despite the trifling obstacle of a brick roundhouse. The cars piling into the house after the engine filled it to the roof with wreckage, and the frightful confusion gave a new idea of the possibilities of railroading. The dgbut of the Massachusetts had caused the loss of four lives as well as the demolition of the train and the roundhouse. Marcey was buried deep in the wreckage; Willard and a helper were crushed while endeavoring to get the double doors open and a brakeman was killed in jumping, but Finch came off nearly unscathed.— Boston Transcript. :

BURIED GLACIER DISCOVERED.

There Are Indications That It Has Been in an Alaslkan Mountain ‘ for Many Years.

A buried glacier has been discovered on Boulder creek, Alaska. The glacier was uncovered while putting in some trenching in Brockway and Chase’s placers. There was about eight inches of earth over the glacier on which trees eight inches in diameter were growing, showing the ice mountain, which is clear and pale blue, has been there for a long time. The ice is as solid as possible. Brockway and Chase, decided to investigate the strange phenomenon and dug down 20 feet, but met the same solid, clear ice. Around Boulder creek in summer the ice disappears and the weather is hot. The glacier is to be utilized as cold storage during hot months. :

The Waiter Knew ’Em,

A downtown restaurant was in the turmoil of the busy dinner hour. Careworn business men rushed in and swallowed a lunch as though millions depended on their haste. Waiters balanced steaming platters on the tips of their little fingers with the ease of Japanese jugglers, and everything seemed confusion. Yet there was a certain degree of discipline among the waiters and they seemed to know their customers and their usual choice of dishes. For, instance, when a pair of lanternjawed actors without an engagement entered, the waiter that listened to the order yelled to the cook: “Two supes and a Ham-omelet!” — Detroit Free Press. :

The Farm Home That Is Without It Is Owned by a Man Who Doesn’t : Care for His Wife., In planning to put a water tank in vour kitchen have you considered that during the summer when the stock are in the fields drinking from springs the tank will have less water flowing into it from the windmill or the hydraulic ram, and that, in consequence, if it is not empty it will contain warm water? And have you considered that when you want cold water under these circumstances you must turn on the windmill, start the ram, or pump the water yourself? If you don’t your wife will! If vou haven’t thought of this, then profit by my experience. ‘“Experience is the name a man gives to his mistakes.” - The tank in the kitchen had survived its usefulness, was worn out, and a new A T c B TANK FOR WATER SUPPLY. one had been decided upon. The mistake was made when the old one was put in; it should never have been put in the kitchen. I bought a large galvanized steel tank with a capacity of about 150 gallons, and set it up outside the kichen in the woodshed, the bottom being 18 inches above the faucet at the sink. A box was built around it large enough to allow a packing of six inches of sawdust above, below and at the sides. This material was applied after the pipe connections had all been well tested to see that they did not leak. It was put around the tank to keep the water cool during the summer by preveniing access of the warm air to the sides, and to prevent freezing in the winer. ‘ The tank is one of the kind used for heating water in connection with a range, and as it stood when I purchased it it had four openings—two at the top, one at the side and one at the bottom. One of the holes at the top opens into the tank direct, and was to be used for the outflow of warm water. The other is attached to a pipe on theinside of the tank which was to carry the cold water nearly to the bottom. The hole in the side was for the inflow of water as it came heated from the fire. At the bottom was to be attached the pipe that led to the firebox where the water was to be heated. < But I didn’t want the water hot, and therefore had no need of this arrangement of the pipes. My ends, I thought, would be best gained by turning the tank upside down and plugging the side opening. This I did. 'The pipe that comes from the hydraulic ram I then attached to the supply pipe (A), so that the fresh water enters the opening that was originally at the bottom, but is now at the top of the tank:. The outflow pipe (B) was then screwed to the cold water pipe which runs inside the tank, and the pipe (C) which runs to the sink was fastened to the original hot water pipe. , Whenever the hydraulic ram is working the water flows in,and there is a constant supply of fresh, cool water all summer. By turning a tap in the supply pipe I can shut off the water from the tamk and force the water to the large cistern in the garret when the supply in it from the roof becomes exhausted. .

The outflow pipe empties into ‘the gewer, and, like the tank and the other pipes, is well inclosed in sawdust.—M. G. Kains, in Farm and Fireside. ;

POULTRY YARD HINTS.

It is not necessary to keep cocks unless the eggs are wanted for hatching. A good way.of arranging the perches’ is to have two sets and change every week or ten days.

When the hens are molting a few drops of the tincture of iron may be put into the water to a good advantage. : Cramp in the limbs is prevalent in flocks that are confined and fed too highly on concentrated food. The fowls walk with difficulty. ~

It is from well matched parents that the most vigorous offspring comes. Select the most vigorous and motherly hens for next year’s breeders.

1f the rooster is faulty do not breed from him even if the pullets are up to the standard. Everything in point of plumage and symmetry depends on the sire. - i

If filth, dampness and vermin are avoided there will be little trouble in keeping fowls healthy, and with good health assured they can readily be made profitable. It is the mother which influences the internal qualities. @A good layer, if mated in the right way, will impress this desirable quality upon her progeny. —=St. Louis Republic. ’

Why the Hogs Succumb. " Prof. John A. Craig, of the lowa experiment station, explains why the hog succumbs so unresistingly when overheated. The man or horse when overheated soon has his body covered with perspiration, and the evaporation of this at once begins to reduce his temperature. Nature has made no sach provision for the relief of the hog when heated by exposure to the sun or by excessive exercise. This is rea« son enough why it should have an abundant and convenient water supply, shade and a convenient bathing or wallowing place, whether on summer pasturage or confined in a lot, and have plenty of green food that is laxative and S EoUnE e i e G O s

~ HORSES IN WINTER. | They Should Have Clean Quarters, Sweet Feed and Suflicient ' Regular Exercise. ! Our horses should be kept so they will | not only be in good flesh but. in good physical condition so they .wfll be fit for service in the spring without any special preparation. The history of nations has shown that dry atmosphere is unfavorable to the spread of contagious diseases, whilst the moist or hot and damp atmosphere is most favorable. The horse has ever produced his highest type in a dry elevated region, where there was a pure, dry, bracing atmosphere. The animals of greatest activity dwell in dry and elevated regions, while sluggish animals abound ' in low, marsh districts. The damp | stable favors the development of fungi. Decomposition of litter, dung and urine and waste of feed are all rich in nitrogenous matter which decays readily and defiles the atmosphere. The dark, ‘damp stable favors all fungous growth, while light and dryness destroy it. The damp stable is also unfavorable to the healthy action of the skin and lungs. Therefore the first requirement is a good feed barn or stable which should -be located so as to have good drainage. The stable should be warm and comfortable, yet should have ventilation. The foul odors which arise from refuse matter, where there is poor drainage and ventilation, is one of the main causes of diseases among horses. Even if it does not bring on the disease, the horse will be in a condition to take any contagious disease which may be in the neighborhood. In connection with the subject of ventilation, or keeping the atmosphere free from taint, the stable floors play an important part. If the farmer will arrange his stalls and windows so that the floor will receive the sunlight and fresh air while the “horses are out, he will add to the neat‘ness of his stable, rid it of foul odors “and prolong the life and usefulness of ‘his' teams. On such floors, where the 'bedding and filth are removed every day, we do not find disgusting cases of thrush and grease. Where the horse runs at large the sunlight, fresh air, rains and rolling, disinfect the skin and absorb and vemove the grease of the system. When confined to the stable and at the service of man, the horse depends for these offices on the faithfulness of his groom. The horse is not properly groomed when the filth and sweat have been’ scraped off so the neighbor or passer-by cannot see it across the field. Still it is better for the horse for the groom to have this incentive than none at all. Let it be kept in mind that the skin needs to be regularly cleaned for health’s sake. The share which the skin has in throwing off impurities is generally underestimated. The skin and lungs throw off impurities in the relation of 11 to 7. The blood cannot | be kept pure unless the lungs, kidneys and skin are each in condition to remove the waste of the system. The farmer who is nervous and excitable and always in a rush, never has horses in good condition. The horse needs to be free from all excitement when eating. It needs to be at rest and contented. It does not matter so much what is fed so it is sweet feed and fed in sufficient quantity. The horse should have sufficient exercise at all times to keep himina healthy and vigorous condition. If he does not get exercise any other way, he should be turned out in a lot every day.—J. M. Stephenson, in Prairie ’ Farmer. .

How Salt Helps Fertility, While the soda and chlorine of salt have mo manural properties, there is often a decided effect from using salt as topdressing for land that has organic matter. Only very small amounts are used per acre, and thus the salt hastens decomposition, and this. sets free whatever carbonic acid gas or ammonia the organic matter contains. Salt is usually thought of as a preservative. It is so when in amounts large enough to pickle what it is applied to. When carbonic acid gas is liberated, that acts as a solvent on the inert potash and’' phosphate that the soil contains, thus often serving in place of those minerals at much less cost than if they were bought and applied. ; Consumption of Feed, 3 It is sometimes asserted that cattle and sheep require the same amount of feed per thousand pounds of live weight. This statement seems not to be well founded. In experiments conducted at the lowa experimental station the cattle consumed 19.6 pounds of dry matter per thousand pounds of live weight, against an average of 29.07 by the sheep. Both sheep and cattle were on full feed. The sheep made a daily gain of 3.73 pounds per thousand pounds live weight and the cattle 2.14. In summing up this comparison we find that while the sheep ate 48 per cent. more than the cattle they also gained nearly 75 per cent. more.—C. F.
