H : % & P—— L ——————————— 100TH ANNIVERSARY One hundred years ago today the first locomotive in the world to successiully haul a load of ireight upon rails made its maid- trip. Invented by George Stephenson, the comotives,” it made its first run at Killingworth colliery in Eng- land. It had so many rods and cranks strapped to its boiler that it had the appearance of a huge BB OB SEEE # | orasshopper. It weighed about e |Six tons; A patt of “walking- heams,” resembling those of a modern side-wheel steamer, turned the four wheels. There being no cab, the engineer had to stand while the engine was in operation. It pulled eight load- ed cars, which aggregated a weight of thirty tons, up a track that had a grade of one foot an eighth o a mile. The test was a “grand” success, the en- oine running about six miles an hour. The first locomotive to draw a train of cars in the United States made its experi- mental trip in the Lackawanna coal district fifteen years later. This locomotive also was thé product of Stephenson. It was called the Stourbridge Lion, af- ter the place of its manufacture in England. Its American engi- neer, Horatio Allen, ran the en- gine over a track of hemlock rails for a preliminary test. Then he invited any gentlemen lin the gathering of spectators to accompany him. His invitation was not only refused but he was urged to give up his foolhardy ambition. Laughing at his ad- visers, he pulled the throttle wide and “dashed” away at ten miles an hour. Today over 63,000 locomotives arc in motion over the 250,000 miles of trackage in the United States. They consume about 150,000,000 tons of coal and car- ry over a billion passengers and 1,800,000,000 tons of freight an- nually. After adopting the Eng- lish-born child of civilization, in its development and applica- tion until today it stands as the world’s greatest manufacturer of locomotoves. Besides making enough to meet the domestic de- mand, the American muanufac- facturers are shipping locomo- tives abroad at the rate of a doz- en a week. They are thundering through the mountains of South America and over the plains and vallevs of Africa; they are dis- turbing the calm of the Orient, and are dashing from one end of Furope to the other; they have invaded the land of the locomo- tives birth, England, and are in use upon its principal railways. Like the steamship, the locomo- tive is growing larger and more powerful every year. The larg- est reported to be in use today is the huge compound engine which measures 120 feet over all and weight 850,000 pounds. is an oil-burner and carries 4,000 callons of oil and 12,000 gallons of water. It $43.850 to build. These have reached a point where one loco- cost glants in the middle with a flexible without upsetting. Thus the locomotive has become the mod- ern Atlas that carries the burd- lation across the continents.

The great mill had been bought by a syndicate and | closed unnecessary to the system, The syndicate had to continue to pay taxes as heavy ! as as though the works were in operation, and it was decided therefore to destroy them. Charges of dynamite were placed under the tall chimneys and at various places in the walls throughout the manutactory. The cartridges were exploded simultaneously by electric con- nections, and the whole place be- -came a mass of broken walls and piles of brick, Some of the townspeople cried, as they saw the place tumble into ruins, LONDON MAY HAVE i FEMALE COPS! London, July 25— Female “Bobbies’" will be a feature cof London life if Lord Bentinck’s amendment to the criminal jus- tice bill is carried by Parhament. He proposes that each metro- politian and county horough should have at least two women police constables. In the general bill, which 18 considered certain to pass, wo- men officers are provided, to look after womien prisoners out on probation, and each police sta- tion would have its matron, The men will also gain by the new law. Workers will be al- Jowed seven clear days within which to pay fines, in order that a payday may be included in the period. “At present, a prisoner unable to settle the fine on sen- tence has to take the alternative lof jail. | GG BoiBe o ‘THE LONDON SCHOOL ‘ | DIAGNOSED | | London, July25.— Whether ‘ Londoners really wear “a look % |2 IN ICED ANYWHERE LAKELAND, FIA.
