The ule, one fireman instead of two, and no economy of between 17 and 25 per cent, alterations in the lubricating an which is said to have resulted, came prac- ment.

These things are essential now-a-days. A typical example of making old en-gines new, may be had by considering a22 x 26 ins., engine. In order to use. OLD CYLINDER WITH UNIVERSAL STEAM CHEST AND VALVE. piston valves with superheated steam,new cylinders and steam chests and valvesare ordinarily required. This necessitatesnot only the application of new cylindersand valves, but it requires an alterationof the ends of the frame fronts and newbolts, boltholes, etc. The weight of thewhole outfit is practically 24,000 lbs. Theweight of the Universal valves and chestsis about 2,500 lbs. so that a saving lbs. is made on each amount of metal is extremely present, and the saving is worthmore than it looks in figures. old culm-burner on the D, L. & passenger, of the American or4-4-0 type, in vogue long ago, has so farbeen made new, as to take an extra caron its train, where formerly it handledonly wooden cars; and this extra car isSteel, of about the same weight as theSteel train which it now hauls. The prac-tical value of the alterations made by are worth to the road, andtry, a g
