That Big Engine
The new articulated compound freight
engine of the Baltimore Ohio railroad
which is by far the largest in the world
was put into service on the Pittsburg
and Connellsville division last week
helping freight trains over the grade from
Sand Patch Everywhere the engine
attracts attention It is in fact a pair
of locomotives with one boiler The
engine in working order weighs 334500
pounds and the weight of the tender
filled with 7000 gallons of water and 13
tons of coal is 143000 pounds It hrs
the greatest heating surface ever put into
a locomotive 5586 square feet of which
2194 square feet are in the fire box and
53093 square feet in the tubes which
are 21 feet long These proportions out
do anything of the kind designed for a
locomotive The immense power of the
locomotive may be conceived in the
drawbar pull of 70000 pounds which it
can exert working compound or 80000
pounds of single gear The boiler will
carry a working pressure of 235 pounds
Gretna Green In London
There is one chapel royal which is
really not a royal chapel at all says
the Loudon Tatler This Is the one
known as Savoy chapel which pertains
not to the ciown but to the duchy of
Lancaster Properly speaking it is the
chapel of the Hospital of St John the
Baptist if one must give it the only
title that is historically correct A cou
ple of centuries ago it was a kind of ec
clesiastical Gretna Green in London
with five private ways to it by land
and two by water as the touting ad
vertisement put it and runaway lovers
were clandestinely united there with
the utmost privacy decency and reg
ularity at the nominal expense of one
guinea inclusive The old ways have
been reformed by act of parliament
but the famous chapel is still a favorite
with those who fancy a quiet wedding
You can drop in casually and unostem
tatiously and after the ceremony ad
journ to a neighboring restaurant in
accordance with the latest custom of
the best society
ThomnN Jefferson Farmer
Like Washington Jefferson delighted
in farming The hope of a nation
he wrote in his youth lies in the till
ers of the soil In his final retirement
at Monticello a guest addressed him
ceremoniously as President Jeffer
son
Farmer Jefferson the distinguish
ed statesman interposed I would
rather be Farmer Jefferson than to
have all the titles of Europe
His garden book covering a period
of half a century shows the precision
with which he fanned at Monticello
Here for example is an excerpt from
his memoranda for July of one year
July 15 Cucumbers came to table
planted out celery sowed patch of peas
for fall planted snap beans
July 22 Had the last dish of our
spring peas
July 31 Had Irish potatoes from the
garden Leslies Monthly

too much in praise of Foleys Honoy and
Tar for coughs colds croup and whoop
ing cough Contains no opiates and is
safe and sure Ask for Foleys Honey
and Tar and insist upon having it as it
