Kins Who la Maslclaa, Poet and
Orator the Tallest
Living Msiuek,
In reaped ef personality the Swedish
royal family, ore of whoa youngest mem
bers, Prlne Wuhelm. grandson of the
king, recently visited New Tork, U among
tlie most lntereatlng ia Europe. King
Oscar ia a maa of many aocompliahmenta.
All hla sons ara also able men.
No reigning monarch la more approach
able than Oscar II, and none knows better
how to set a visitor at ease.
"How do you do, my good frlendf Is his
salutation to a visitor admitted to an audi
ence In the palace at Stockholm. Be puts
out his hand and gives the visitor's a
hearty clasp.
Tba king Is tha tallest ruler and one of
tha tallest men In the world. But he la 71
and he has been In poor health of late, so
ha stoops a little. He dresses plainly. The
ooat Is the only peculiar feature of his at
tire. It la shaped like single-breasted
round cornered sack, but it la as long as a
cutaway. , , ,
The king Is an accomplished player on the
organ. He has composed many places.
Music Is only one of his accomplishments.
He lias been called the most polished Scan
dinavian orator of fala day. lie la a poet
and has translated Taseos "Jerusalem
Delivered," Ooethe's .Faust" and many
other works Into awedish.
Oscar and tha Asm Poet.
Once when be crtUolsed some work of
BJornstjerne BJornaon's the poet accused
him of Jealousy and actually sent him a
challenge. The king took no notice of this,
but some time atter when ha was serenaded
by a singing society he asked them to sing
one of EJorneon'a poems and he stood with
his head bared while they did so. On the
following day he sent the poet the Order
of Bt. Olaf with an autograph letter.
In private Ufa bis, tad Is collecting pot
tery, especially Sevres. He Is fond of tak
ing his callers Into the private dining, room
of the palace and exhibiting hla treasures.
Then he will tel! how he restored the room
to Us ancient beauty, having layer after
layer of paint and enamwf scraped off to
get at the fine eld woodwork.
The king gets up at I a. m., works an
hour and breakfasts at M. The morning
is given up to walking for health and pleas
ure and to business of stats.
He has luncheon at l& and spends most
of the afternoon la social engagements,
including visit to the homes ef his chil
dren. He sleeps for an hour before din
ner, plays billiards or whist from :30 to
11 and does his literary work In the last
hour before going to bed at 13:30.
He drinks several glasses of Hordeaua
Wine or a little beer every day and smokes
very little, using very mild, denicotlnlzed
tobacco.
The king has travelled over all Europe
and has had many queer adventures. In
the palace at Monaco he was assigned to
a state room, "The Duke of York's
Room," they call It. In the middle of
the room was one of those canopied beds
that took like catafalques.
In the we anna' hDurs the house was
wakened up by a bustle that made the
sleepers think there was a fire. It was
the king and his valet carrying upstairs
an Iron Camp bed that he takes around
with him. He stood the short bed of
state as long as be could, but had to seek
room for his feet before he could get to
sleep.
Crews Prlnee and Lover.
When he was crown prince, he stopped
a runaway In the streets of Parts. The
coachman had been flung off and three
women In the carriage were In danger of
death. The horses dragged him a block
before they stopped.
Then the police came.
"What's you name?" asked the srrgoant.
"Oscar Bernadotte," was the reply.
"Tour oooupattonT"
"Crown prince."
"Residence T"
"Royal palace, Stockholm."
They sent him the regular French medal
for life earing with Its tricolor ribbon, and
he wears It still.
Hla marriage to the Prlnoeas Bophie of
Nassau, of which they celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary oh June of this
year, was a love match. There Is an oak
In tha park at Monrepos In which the In
acrtptlon "8 O ISM," cut deep with I
Jaokknlfe, Is still shown. It Is a memor
ial ef tha remanoa of Sophie and Oscar,
' Alt four sons of the king have taken
Ufa seriously. The crown prince, Oua
tavus Adolphus, has devoted himself to
preparation for rularshtp.
Oscar, the second son, gave up royal
honors and contingent right of succession
to marry a girl of the people. He Is known
as Prlnna Bernadotte, and he and his wife
devote themselves to religious work and are
at present carrying on a revival movement
all through the country upon Salvation
Army lines.

He has a collection equal In Interest to his
father's porcelains. In late years he hss
taken much routine work from his father's
Shoulders, presiding regularly at the meet
Ings of the council of state.
The soldier prince, Charles, wsdded to the
Danish Frlnreas Ingeborg. has three little
daughters. The family live simply In
handsome house In Btarkholm, where not
so much aa a sentinel at the door Indicates
tha quality of the inhabitants. A news
pspcr photographer tells how easily the
couple submitted to having their pictures
taken.
The prince helped to wheel a table out
of the way. The princess held up a lamp
shade while the prince climbed on a chair
and unfastened It because It spoiled the
picture. One of the little princesses looked
on wistfully until assured that she would
be taken, too, when she danced In glee.
' Eugene, the artist prince, lives In a housa

VERY LATEST IN LOCOMOTIVES
Monster af tha Rail Capable af
Drswlag a Trala Viva
Miles Use.
From the Bchenectady works of tha
American Locomotive company there has
Just been turned out for ths Brie railroad
a monster engine, and one which has the
distinction of being the most powerful of
any locomotive hitherto constructed.
Tha building of thte great engine was
brought about by the grade located at the
west end of the Delaware division, which
la 104 miles In length, and at the east end
of the Susquehanna division, which Is 140
miles long. The Scientific American has
compiled some figures to show that at pres
ent the heavteat freight engine of the sno,
weighing 194,000 pounds, can haul a train
welshing S.4T0 tons from Cornell, at tha
west end of the Susquehanna division, to
Port Jervle, at tha east end of tha Dela
ware division, provided it Is assisted over
the elght-mlle stretch ef road above re
ferred to containing a 1.1 per cqnt grade.
Ud to the present time these freight trains
have been assisted over the grade by two
and sometimes even three of tha heaviest
of the Erie helper englnea; or if that were
not dent. It was necessary to cut the train
In two. This entailed trouble and delay,
and also involved tha use of extra en
gineers,, firemen, cto. In order to solve tha
problem! it was suggested by the American
Locomotive company to concentrate the
helping power In one engine of exceptional
weight and power, thus placing via wnoie
of the auxiliary power In tha bands of a
single crew. ;
The first locomotive of this type to be
constructed In this country was built by
ths company for tha Baltimore Ohio
mountain service; and In tha few years It
has been at work It has given most excel
lent service, hauling aven greater loads
than were anticipated. and all the parts
functioning satisfactorily. Thla waa fol
lowed br a still larger engine for tha same
class of service, built by the Baldwin Loco
motive company for fhe Great Northern
company. The third to be built Is the huge
locomotive whloh forms tha subject of tha
nresent article. By a study of the accom
panying figures showing rslative weights
and dimensions, it will be seen mai me
Hrie locomotive marks a great advance
upon the other two, the total weight of tha
engine having gone up from 3E6.000 pounds
In the Great Northern to 410,000 pounds In
the Erie locomotive," and tha tractive effect
from 71,600 pounda to W.000 pounds.
To supply steam to engines of such great
power It became necessary to design a
boiler far larger than any In existence.
The weight of the boiler Is 100.000 pounds.
It has a total heating surface of 5.81 square
feet.
The high-pressure cylinders ara twenty I
five Inches, the low-pressure thirty-nine
lncjies diameter, and both have a stroke of
twenty-eight Inches. The tractive effort
of 98,000 pounds' will be developed when the
engine Is working compound; but an Inter
cepting valve Is provided, by which the en
gineer can turn his steam Into the low
pressure cylinders. In which case about 46
per cent of the boiler pressure will be re
alized In them, rising to a maximum of
about 130,000 pounds. Under these condi
tions tha locomotive could . haul on the
level 2S0 loaded freight cars-a train that
would measure nearly two miles In length.
If such train were loaded with wheat It
would represent ths product of twenty-six
square miles of wheat land. The engine
could haul the load at a speed of. between
eight and ten miles an hour. '
The total weight of the engine la tlO.OOO
pounds, which, put In tonnage, gives the
figure of ICG tons. The length of the en
gine is eighty feet. The locomotive Is
carried upon two sets of eight driving
wheels each, all of the eight In each case
being coupled, so that the whole of the
weight of 210,000 pounds of the engine Is
available for adhesion. The boiler Is
mounted rigidly upon the main or after
frame of the locomotive, and Its weight is
borne partly upon this and partly upon
the forward radial frame, on the front end
of which the low-pressure cylinders ara
mounted.
When the locomotive enters a curve, the
forward engine Is free to swing to right
and left, aa the case may be, the sliding
bearing plate and other, devices allowing It
to do this with comparatively little resist
ance. As a matter of fact, because of tha
flexibility of tha wheel base, ths lateral
wrenching effects of this engine upon curves
will be less than that of much smaller en
glnea Moreover, tha load being distributed
among sixteen wheels, the concentrated
wheel load of 61.20 poVnds per wheel Is
considerably less than that of some loco
motives of far less total weight.

A squab la a young pigeon, which goes
by the name of squab until It Is six weeks
old. after which. If It escapes the market,
It la known as a pigeon. Squabs weigh
from eight to ten pounds a dozen when
they are four weeks old, and the prices
range all the way from $3.60 to W a dosen
when the are of the ten-pound size. They
are marketed dressed and must be dry
picked.
In the entire middle west, from ths Alle
ghany to the Rocky mountains, down In
Oklahoma and Texas, and up In the north
west, there Is being developed such a taste
for squabs that It la taxing the capacity of
producers to supply the demsnd.
Missouri and Illinois are raising squabs
by the thousands and to a great extent
this territory Is setting the pace for squab
