The first order for war locomo
tives was placed with the Baldwin

of engine and is what is called a
"superheater." Otherwise, the
locomotive is much, similar to lo
comotives built by the Baldwin, Co.
for the English government . It is
not the most powerful type used In
the United States, but on a road
wheie the heaviest engines would
haul a train of about 90 loaded
freight cars this war locomotive
would haul 60 loaded cars. Like
all tbe equipment; It is painted bat
tleshin gray and bears the lettere,
"U, 8. A.' for United States Army.
The locomotive weighs about 166,
400 pounds, with the tender about
276,000 poundB.

lines 1& France have about three
fimej the capacity of the standard
gauge box cars used by the French,
railway until recently. They have
the same coupling equipment, etc.,
ag the French rolling stock, po as
to he interchangeable with It. The
iron railing which runs the length
of the car along the top la used to
throw a tarpaulin orer to protect
the contents of the car from the
weather . The Inside length of
the car is 36 feet aud its capacity
33 tons.

clock work," but later it way

be repaired. At >he time of the

quite a wind storm near Chilkoot
inlet, it was snowing hard and they
could see nothing, and besides thera
were no cais on, the boat. All the
I men could do a, time was to
drift with the wind and When they
passed a board floating in the
I water one of the men dove for it,
I With this board tliey. ^addled the
launch into the inlet.
The boat at no time was in any
very great danger, but owning to
the sform it was impossible to go
in either direction without swamp
