MERCHANT TAILOR ,
JfATN STREET , i
McCOOK NEBRASKA. i
JOHN C. GOULD , machinist and mu
sician , of 69 Whitingstreet , has con
structed a full fledged locomotive which
is twenty inches long from the cab en
trance to the catcher tip , or thirty-three
inches long with the tender. Gold mount
ed steel bands circle the brass boiler ,
from which a steam pressure of one
hundred pounds can be developed. A
miniature steam gauge within the cab
registered as high as sixty pounds of
stea . By other signs the constructor
can easily tell when his pet is laboring
under a great pressure. It took about
one year to build the locomotive , and ,
estimating the value of the small tools
he had to make to model the intricate
machinery and the value of thi : material
of which the locomotive is made , the
cost of the whole thing is about four
huiidr d dollars. An oidinary five cent
doll would look like a giant in the bab.
and a clove would look like a big piece
of timber if placed alongside of the
small .steel across that which keeps to
gether the various sections of machinery.
The height of the cab is only five and
a half inches fiom the floor and is seven
inches long on top. It is four inches
\\idc. A baby's thimble would loom up
in imagination to the propoitioiii of a
keiosene barrel if it was put > idc by
side with the polished oil cups. These
aie three-sixteenth of an inch wide each
pawl about a quaiter of an inch deep.
"A gallon of oil would not be exhausted
by them in a century and a half. The
engine has aujnch and a quarter stroke ,
siid i.s propelled by driving wheels that
aic three and a half inches in diameter
and ten and a half inches in circum
ference. Other dimensions of this little
wonder furnished by the builder were :
Connecting rod , four and a half inches
from center to center ; boiler , eleven
inches long ; heating room in fire box ,
four inches ; cylinder box , one and three
quarter inches long ; smoke stack three
and one quarter inches high ; side cab
window , one and a half inches high and
an inch wide ; front "cab window , five
eighths of an inch wide ; length of poker
and shovel , eight inches ; length of sand-
ilidc from sand box four inches : , coal
room in tender , two and a half inches
wide and seven inches long. The smoke
stack , sand box and dome are gold
mounted. \ To give a thorough , descrip
tion of this fine piece of mechanism
would require a great deal of .pace in
a newspaper to do the subject justice.
Suffice it to say that no engine on the
Consolidated road has any more ap
pointments than this , but of course , they
are all on a very reduced scale. The
engine can attain a speed of nine miles
an hour. New Haven Union.
MAX is called the lord nf creation ,
but this is a misnomer. In boyhood he
is tied to a woman's apron strings ; in
early manhood he bows down and wor
ships a girl , and in maturity he is ruled
by a kid in long top clothes and India-
rubber lungs. From the cradle tD the
grave he is a slave and the older he
grows the more insignificant his master ,
as a rule. Uouston Caller.
