The wear from the load upon the ends of the radialcasting is taken by case-hardened iron plates. The truck issimple and compact. It appears to curve easily and topromise very satisfactory service for this location under thefirebox. There is also good reason to believe it equallypromising for the front ends of engines to replace ponytrucks. The Engineer calls attention to the unusually larg.^number of details made of cast steel even in these dayswhen this material is extensively used.

This fine looking engine is a result of hard work, andwe believe it is true of good locomotive designing, as GrantAllen says of writing for the press, Labor, incessant labor,has the appearance of ease.—Eds. R. R. Digest.] Liquid Fuel for Locomotives Railway Engineer (London), March, 1901, p. James Holden, locomotive superintendent of the GreatEastern Railway, says he first employed tar from the com-panys oil gas works at Stratford, which was at the timehe began operations entirely a waste product. Experimentswere first made with the boiler of a stationary engine. Inuse in locomotive boilers Mr. Holdens idea was to use itas an auxiliary, and that engines should be equally adaptedfor solid or liquid fuel, or a combination of both. The burn-ers were, therefore, designed to spray liquid fuel above thelevel of
