young men who have come into this inheritance of vast
wealth Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr is a man of strong princi

graduation from Yale University the young man decided to
equip himself with a thorough practical knowledge of every
branch of railroad work Donning a pair of OVERALLS
AND JUMPERS he worked side by side with ordinary
mechanics spending two years time in the motive power and
civil engineering department of the New York Central Rail
way He is an expert mechanic and has already perfected
several inventions which have come into use as improve
ments in railway equippage One of the inventions is a
device for use on locomotives which has the effect of faci
litating the removal of the fire from the firebox of an engine
thus expediting the work of cleaning the firebox
