Centenary Coincidently with the centenary of tbo advent of the lirst locomotive comes the report of tbo building of b far the lar gest of tbese machines which the world has yet seen Or course the original locomotive was employed in England That country made experiments in tbis Held earlier than did the United States England had railroads before this coun try saw any but there as well as here tlie roads were operated by horses for several years before the steam motor came into uto None of the countries of continental Euiope had railroads until long after their inception in the British islands Tbo weight of a locomotive of three quarters of a century or a century ago ranged from one to ten tons The big locomotives just rofened to which are being built in Philadelphia for the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe railway woigh 480000 pounds or 240 tons 280 000 pounds representing the engine and 200000 pounds the lender Fifteen tons at a speed of five miles an hour is given as the capacity of the first locomotive in England and comparatively little ad vanco was made iu the next dozen years after its appearance Peter Coopers one ton Tom Thumb which was put on the Baltimore Ohio road in 1830 could carry only a little more than this but it could malce slightly better speed Each of the locomotives which are being built for tbo Atchison road will be able to draw 0000 tons of dead weight on a level grade at the rate of twenty fivo miles an hour When the Honesdale it Carbondale railway back in 1827 sent to Knglaud for a locomotive to use on that lino no body supposed that tbis country would in the next three quarters of a century not only beat England but all Europe in the number of miles of its railways and would lead the world a long way in the sizo and power of its locomotives and the number which are being con structed in its factoiies The locomo tive which the Honesdale Carbondale road imported from England at that time the Stourbridge Lion weighed six tons and was found to be too heavy for the wooden rails with the strips of iron nailed on them aud therefore could not be used to any material extent St Louis Globe Democrat Victoria and Napoleon Queen Victoria once gave a remark able description of her visit to the tomb of Napoleon I during the reign of Napoleon III The coliin is not yet here she wrote but in a small side chapel of St Jerome Into
