When the engine had finally been successfully articulated and placed upon the track laid for the experiment the boiler was pumped full of water from a hogshead, a fire of pine wood was lighted in the furnace, and at an indication of thirty pounds steam pressure, young Isaac Dripps, who put the machinery togeth. er, nervous with excitement, opened the throttle and the locomotive moved over the rails, Wood was the original fuel which made the steam, but the furnace has been changed now for coal. The en. closed tender contains a storage capacity for about 2.200 pounds of coal, and a tank holding 1,500 of water. The water is sufficient for a run of thirty-nine miles and the coal will last through ninety. The curious contrivance, re. sembling a poke bonnet, which sur. mounts the tender, was called the ‘gig top.” In it sat the forward brakeman, who not only kept a sharp lookout for other trains approaching on the same track, but signalled to the rear brake. man when oceasion required, and worked the brakes on the locomotive | stances to escape as they did, To Give the Deer a Chanoe An item is going the effect that Governor Pattison has sign- ed the bill that prevents the killing of deer in Pennsylvania for a period of three years.
