DOUBLE-DRIVE LOCOMOTIVE
Very unusual in design, at least
as far as this country is concerned,
is a locomotive built in England for
use in South Africa. The object of
the design is to obtain th? greatest
possible power for any given weight
allowance. A very even distribution
of the weight on the a-tlas is obtained
by placing the boiler betwesn two
drjving systems, which are iu con
nection witn a tender at each end.—

MYSTERIES OF SEVEN SEAS
Shedd Shots
All the Inventlena ef Man Have Failed
to Solve Secrets of
the Ocean.
(B y Anna Pennell)
M r. and Mre. T routm an a n !
daughters G ail and Thais went to
Eugene Wednesday o f last week.
Romance and mystery have not
been taken from the high seas, even
with Hie many inventions of man
that help annihilate space and per
m it communication with the world
in its far-away places. D uring the
last year 26 vessels that left port for
a voyage failed to arrive nt their
destinations. They steamed away
and disappeared. What fate they
met, how it came and where, all are
a part of the mystery of the sea.
Some were equipped with wireless
with which they could keep in touch
with the great stations along the sea
coasts, btit from these vessels no call
came. Like the Cyclops, they sailed
away and from them came no word.
No b it of wreckage picked up at sea
was found to give a clew.
Probably some mine, planted dur
ing the war and not picked up wlieu
peace came, broke loose from its
moorings, was caught up by the
great ocean currents and carriod
out into the lanes of travel.
Probably other vessels w ill be in
collision with the lost mines, for
there are many not yet accounted
for. The inventions of man have
done much to make safer the navi
gation of the wide waters, but all
the inventions of man thus far have
not operated to take from the sea
the mystery that has enveloped it
since sailing first began. — Ohio
