The cuff furnishesa wide and rigid bearing for the latch,and the double latch is very convenient foruse on an engine pulling a light trainover portions of the road having a lightgrade, as it enables the engineer to workhis steam in the most economical manner. I send you also a picture of the front ofthe roundhouse at Selma. This house wasoriginally built in i860 by the & Dalton Railway Company; it wasburned by General Wilsons men in 1865and rebuilt in i866. This house is longenough for the longest engine on the divi-. A HISTORICAL ENGINE HOUSE. Why steamships, in contradistinction torailroads, should be allowed to consideraccidents as an act of God. and with theloss of the ship be exempt from liability isbeyond ordinary comprehension. Acci-dents, both afloat and ashore, are inevit-able. Occasionally they are caused byconditions over which man has no control,but in ninety-nine cases out of a hundredthey can be traced to some human error,and in the interests of safety all commoncarriers, whether they float, roll or fly,should be forced to take precautions whichonlv tliat liabilitv will secure. marked, and is of course only used inworking the engine simple. When the intercepting valve is movedto compound position, either by hookingup or otherwise, the high-pressure exhaustis closed from the atmosphere and goesinto the receiver and to the low-pressurecylinder.
