By the manipula-tion of levers, the revolving brushes arebrought against the sides of the are water pipes on each side of thebrushes, so that if by any chance thebrushes should leave streaky patches theNiagara flow washes it ofT. The brushes are on shafts driven bvchain gear and sprocket wheals, so thatwater has no effect upon them, and thetrack is arranged to drain the water oflfas rapidly as it falls. Something less thana thousand coaches are thus given theirtub every day with thorough English. liaUway ^ Locimutxvt Engitiearing GERMAN 4-4-2 COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVE. —no injectors then. The second engine,the Pennsylvania, had six pairs ofdrivers connected, 46-inch wheels. Cylin-ders 20x20 inches were connected to thirdpair of wheels from front; second andfifth pairs of wheels were blank. In ashort time this engine was rebuilt andnumber of wheels reduced. As a number of engines on the roadhad cast iron wheels and tire, as soonas the tire wore out the wheel was donefor. Mr. Millholland conceived the ideaof using cast iron tire on all 46-inch andsmaller wheels. He had the centersmade with six bosses in the fellows,through which steel pointed 1^4 setscrews passed and engaged in a coun-tersink in the tire. Centers of tires wereturned and bored to templets. The tirewas slipped onto its place, and the setscrews drew it tight and held it. Thesetires seldom broke—not oftener thanwroug
