Tha railroad companies la former
daya spared ao expense when It came
to the coastractioB or ornameatatioa
of their loooamotlvaa. which were aot
oaly tha pets of the aagtaeen aad tha
pride of tha whole road bat also dally
asoviag adrertteenaats of the service.
Ia these tweatieti ceatary daya of
black, pooled locomotives whose aua
ten change every trip It aeeaa a far
cry back to the romantic daya of rsil
roadiag. whea every road tried to oat-
do Its rivals la tha way of dandy en
glaea, of which tha eagJneen wara
tha ahaolata masters.
No oaa bat a certain apeclSai aa
glaaar waa allowed to ma oaa of theaa
eagJaee aader aay drcaawtaaeaa, aad
whea it became aecessary to place tbe
engine la the shop for Jt thoroagh
ovarhaaliag tha eaglneer alt work
aatil tha machinists had got throaga.
Perhaps the beat examples of all
dandy engines were two boaght by the
New Haven road la the 'Sea.
' Theaa engines, which ware moasten
for those days, had driving wheels Iva
feet nine laches ia diameter aad coat
aboat 16.01 each. Tha cab waa nude
of aolld walaat Inside the roof of the
cab waa composed of narrow alternate
strips of amhogany and walaat The
aide windowa wara nude of stained
Jast aa much expense waa lacarred
to make the outside of the engine at
tractive. First, the frame waa made
of planed steel, highly polished. The
driven were all painted red, with a
tiny black stripe.
From the cab to the sand box every
thing waa covered with brass, even the
Jacket of the boiler, while from the
aaad box to the stack the boiler waa
covered with Russian Iron. Around
the dome and tha aaad box waa a cov
ering of bran and the cyllnden aad
steam chests were enclosed with the
same1 metal. Strips of bran were mid
along the edge of tha running boards
and the hand raile were of brass pip
ing, with large bells of brass, eagles
or something of the kind at the end.
Oa the side of the headlight of No.
18, whose engineer waa Edward Chat
terton, waa painted the United Statea
coat of arms, while the tender of No.
14 had the same device on the aide.
The tender waa painted black and
enameled, while all .the striping waa
Biade with gold leaf.
The engineer or No. 34, Mayaard
8mith, alwaya wore white duck, aa la
deed did maay of the other old tun
engineers, aad he waa very exacting.
When he climbed Into the cab of his
engine jast before starting oa a trip
he would take out his white handker
chief aad wipe the different braaa fit
tings la the cab to see If all had beea
properly cleaned.
' Many of the engines in aae la the
early daya were named instead of be
ing numbered. On the New Haven A
Hartford road, which connected the
two cities before the consolidation, the
engines bore such namea as Andro
meda, Venus, Orient and Adonis. Some
engines had landscapes painted on the
sides of the cab.
In those daya the engineer was the
aristocrat .among railroad men. Aa
aooa aa he reached the end of his ran
he would take off his overalls, tura
over the engine to a hostler, wash his
hands at the tender cock and step
off right at the station, his work done
until the return trip.
If any repairs were seeded he did
not consider that his duty had beea
fulfilled whea a report had beea turned
la. He made it his particular baai
aeaa persoaally to aee that the repalre
ware properly executed. Oftea aa
eaglneer would spead houn of hw owa
time to get his machine Into tha very
best condition. Under the preseat
system the engineer gets away aa aooa
as possible and doesn't show up again
until ready to take out his runonce
mora.

TRAVELING BY ELEPHANT.
Uncomfortable Hewdah Fording Riv
en and Passing Through Forests.
There were two elephants at our
disposal -and myself and the interpre
ter rode the first, each occupying half
of the bowdah. The howdah has a
'peculiar and objectionable habit of
nearly sacceedlag ia cutting your legs
ia two.. If yoa haag your legs outside
you may pad the edge aa much aa
you like, bat if yoa are aew to tha
game yoa will wake la about half an
hour from an uneasy dose with the
painful coavictioB "that the lower
halves of your legs hsve dropped off.
On squirming up Into a position
from which you can view the outside
world yoH will see they are still dang
ling there, but with an irresponsibili
ty which suggests that they have beea
frayed through to the last shred. Ab
normal efforts allow you to drag them
safely inside and yoa think it will be
better In future to keep them there.
The elephant Is almost as fine a ve
hicle to see the surrounding country
from aa a London bus, and there is a
considerable-elemeat of excitement in
his progression. The elephant I rode
had a fatal habit when it came to a
river bank or bit of rough ground of
looking around and picking out what
seemed the worst bit he could see.
Dowa oae aide of a river It seemed
aa If he waa engaged in trying to
stand oa his head and I could look
out of the howdah, although I was ly
ing therein, and observe the fishes
darting over the stoaes la the water
just under my lord's noble forehead.
More than once on these journeys the
beast would patiently slouch through
the trees and bushes off the track in
search of something' edible quite re
garless of the fact that the branches
threatened to sweep howdah and
everything else over the stern.
But quite one of the most peculiar
sensations waa when they took it
into their heads to have a scratch
against the telegraph poles. It would
be a wonderful line which could with
stand the solid work the elephant ex
pects its posts to carry out and when
the number two beast leaned too hard
and the post snapped I could almost
see the mild and somewhat indignant
surprise reflected from one Intelligent
face to the other. Singapore Free
