COMFORT AND ECONOMY. BICYCLE ON HIS MONUMENT. lock Island Road Adopt« a Smoke-Con« • timer for Tlieir Engines. The Age I Whf e man of reoria Ha. a Vn-qne To-»'t>.tone The Rock Island Railroad ha« estab lished a precedent in the West by •quipping their engines with imoke-oon- turners, which entirely do away with the heavy volume of black smoke which is so disagreeable to passengers. This experiment has been thoroughly tested during the past few months, on tbeii Colorado Flyer, and has proved to be such a success that the Rock Island has adopted it over its entire system, and, as soon as possible, all of their engines will be equipped witli this new device and immediately be put back into seivice. This smokeless firing, as it is porper- ly called, will be valuable to both pa tron and the road. To the patron it does away with the black, sooty smoke and cinders, thus adding much to the pleasure of traveling; and. to the road, it is a saving in fuel as well as making the appearance and equiraent of the train up to date. Tiie good results from this new equipment are unlimit ed and everything is favorable and for the best interests of all. To make this smokeless tiring a success, two things are necessary; the equipment of the engine with the proper apparatus neces sary to consume the hydrocarbons, thrown off from the coal, and the thorough training of engineer and fire man in the manner of firing and the beet methods of proceeding at all times in order to obtain the desired re sults. The manner of equipment is briefly as follows: In the fire box of the en gine is built a hollow b-ick arch. Be low this and about a foot above the grates are bored four holes in the sides of the fire box. In each of these holes is inserted a Sharp’s patent deflecting air tube, connecting with the hollow arch. Through these tubes the out side air is drawn in and, after being heated, is allowed to mix with the un consumed gasses or hydrocarbons. By this mixing the gasses are transferred into a perfect state of combustion and In this state they aie consumed, and thoroughly disposed of, thus prevent ing them fiom being forced out into the air as is the case today on nearly every railroad in the United States. Assistant-General Manager W. 1. Allen, and Superintendent of Motive Power G. T. Wilson, of the Rock Island, express themselves as more than pleased with the results of this new move on the part of the road. Thomas W. Davis, of Peoria, Ill., has reared a monument to commemorate bis career as a cyclist, and incidentally to mark the resting-place of his wife. The shaft, which Is five feet high and two feet square, bears a design of a bicycle on the top. The design Is ten Inches long and five Inches high, and Is complete In every particular. It dis plays prominently all the parts of the bicycle, even to the name plate. On one side the monument bears the facts of his wife’s death and the other Is blank. His Idea Is to proclaim to gen erations to come the fact of bls being a long-distance rider. He said that he fancied that he could Author of “David Karuni" and Children Children, with his own, and all oth ers, he regarded with a tenderness in termixed with the awe that comes from an utter failure to comprehend. He felt keenly the responsibility of fatherhood, but also felt Iris hand stayed from timorousness because of the injustice of having caused their being. The death of his wife left him in a condition of helplessness until his lister assumed the place of mother to three growing children. Of the young est, Philip, he once said, “The dear child is as pertinacious as a fly in his inquiries. I had no idea that a child could ask so many questions, and 1 find it easier to settle municipal affairs than to give an answer to such queries as, ‘Papa, must 1 wear my rubbers?’ or. ‘Papa, how many apples may 1 eat a day?’ ” In speaking again of Philip at the sge of 9 or 10, he says in a letter, “On Sunday morning I get the small boy dressed and set him on the straight and narrow path—nay, push him before me down its dreary way to chuich serv ice.”—Ainslee's for September. Owing to a shortage of pig iron the rail mill at the Pueblo steel works has been shut down and will not re open for two weeks.
