hered. The reason for the use of this heavytype of engine on a road free from what points tleveloped by the (.)lder engines inhauling heavy freight trains, and in thenew power the frames have been madeextra heavy, and the cylinders reinforcedat places known to be weak. All drivingwheels are e(;ualized together, and at therear pair the equali;;cr engages with adouble elliptic spring. The crosshead is ofthe central draft kind with the two-barguide. The front end will require an elasticimagination to call it extended, and showsby its reasonable proportions a return torational practice. The crown sheet is AW horizontal scams with butt joints,sextuple riveted and welt strips in-side. Barrel of boiler—9-16 inch; dome, ^inch thick. Outside firebox shell—11-16 inch thick. Diameter of waist at small ring—64inches outside. Working boiler pressure—200 pounds. Firebox, length inside—126 inches. Firebox, width inside—41 inches. Crown sheet—7-16 inch thick.

CHICAGO & E.\STEIiN II.I.I.VOIS TWEr.VE-WIIEELEU. our foreign friends call banks, is, aswe are informed by Superintendent ofMachinery T. A. Lawes, because it is notpossible with the other power on theroad, to haul the same loads in winter asin summer. The large consolidation en-gines are rated at forty-seven loads insummer and .^5 in winter. The new twelve-wheelers will take fifty cars in winter, andat this time are hauling fifty-six loads ona grade 21 feet per mile. Their perfor-mance is more than equal to expectations.The coal used on these engines is whatis known as run of the mine, and thiswill explain the large grate area of 35.7square feet. Advantage has been taken of weak supported by radial stays ijii inches indiameter, except the three front rows,which are sling stays. A general descrip-tion is given below: Fuel—Bituminous coal. Driving wheel base—15 feet 6 inches. Total wheel base—25 feet 4 inches. Total wheel base of engine and tender—S3 feet 7 inches. Weight on
