Sereral of what are claimed to be
the largest locomotives ever construct
ed vers received by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St Paul road yesterday,
la these days of large engines each
sh coBalynment received by a rall-
road during the past year or two has
had the distinction of being the larg
est. While these monster locomotives
have in a way ceaaed to excite sur
prise, those just received by the St.
Paul road are remarkable in their di
mensions. For example, the diameter
of the driving wheels Is eighty-four
and one-fourth Inches, or one-fourth
Of an inch over seven feet.
Following Is a technical description
of the new giants:
Diameter of driving wheels, 84
inches.
' Diameter of compound cylinders, 25
and IS inches.
Stroke of cylinders, 28 inches.
Total length of engine, 68 feet 11
Inches. .
Steam capacity of boiler, 200 pounds.
Fire hex, 8 feet 8 inches by 5 feet E
Inches.
Number of flues in boiler, 350. .
Heating surface, 3,215 square feet
Capacity of tender, 18,000 pounds of
real and 7,000 gallons of water.
Think Fast Tim Possible.
General Passenger Agent Miller of
the St. Paul is enthusiastic over the
new engines, alleging that they will
tend to revolutionize schedules and
power. He says they will be capable
of hauling fourteen or fifteen heavily
loaded coaches or sleepers sixty miles
an hour. Grades will be little or no
obstruction to the leviathans.
The locomotives will be put In ser
vice on the limited trains between
Chicago and Milwaukee and between
Chicago and Omaha.

In a letter to the Reed City, Michi

of Meltford, Saskatchewan, says, wrlt-

'This is a fine country for a poor

plums, red and btyck cherries, and
red raspberries. All of these fruits
'grow wild. Then jhe flowers that dot
the prairies, maklpg them look like a
real garden. We have eaten of the
wild red currant, and they are equal
if not superior : to those grown in

THE SALVATION ARMY LOAN.
Practical Flan to Provl" for Poor of
t 'title
The floating of an issue of 150,000
thirty-year, 5 per cent gold bonds by, J
the Salvation army, in lurtoerance or
its Western colonization project, calls
public attention to what is without
doubt the most practical and the most
rational plan to provide for the poor
of the great cities that has been at
tempted in this country. Like evpry
phllanthroplcal enterprise of this
character, the Salvation army coloni
zation Bcheme has its business as
pects as well as Its humanitarian side.
Projects of this character far in their
humanitarian purpose unless they can
be successfully financed. The bonds
about to be issued are to be secured
by a mortgage upon the colonization
lands of the Salvation army, which
now have an estimated value of $250,
000. That the investment in the bonds
is regarded as a good one, not only
from a financial point of view, but
from the standpoint of a sane, practi
cal and worthy scheme for lifting up
the submerged classes in the large
cities, is shown by the fact that $120,
000 of the bonds have been taken by
Senator M. A. Hanna, Myron T. Her
rick, Washington E. Connor, George E.
Hopkins, John E. Mulbolland, Benja
min F Tracy' and others. That there
can be no question about the social
and industrial success of the project is
also indicated by the fact that there
are now on file applications from over
1,000 families, now residing In large
cities, who are anxious to secure the
privilege of settling on a model farm
In any of the three colonies that are to
be established. The project Is far
reaching in its industrial, civil and hu
manitarian possibilities and merits

A South Side Sunday school teacher
Is under the patronage and motherly
direction of a wealthy woman, who
owns, among other things, a large
conservatory. One of the inducements
altered to the children who attend the
Sunday school Is the weekly distribu
tion of flowers. Every pupil receives
s flower a carnation or perhaps a
rose and when a member of the
school is reported to be sick at home
a whole bouquet Is sent to the unfor
tunate child. This pretty custom has
threatened, at times to lead to an epi
demic of illness among the little girls,
who are very fond of flowers. The
little girl who went to Sunday school
received one flower and tbs little girl
who was sick at home received a
whole bouquet, to say nothing of the
sympathy. One child In particular,
who has thought deeply oier the mat
ter, flndi herself in severe doubt every

In the opinion of James St C. Hunt,
who has just returned from Panama,
it pays a nation to own gunboats,
with a record behind them."7he rev
olution at Panama," Le say, "will do
no harm to American property. The
rebels have been very careful to touch
none of that, for recent events have
taught them what the consequences
will be."
