At the American Railway .Master Me-chanics Convention held in June lastyear a report on automatic stokers, pre-pared by a committee, was read, whichwas decidedly favorable lo the use ofautomatic stokers, but it did not indi-cate that railway companies were by anymeans enthusiastic in favor of that use-ful labor-saving device. The apathy whichprevailed, however, had not preventedthe application of automatic stokers to asufficient number of locomotives to dcm-.

There aretwo tappets on the rod, and the guidestriking one of these just as the revers-ing arm reaches-full throw forward orback, insures the oil by-pass and re-versing steam valve being automaticallyclosed when the reverse mechanism hasbeen put in the corner. The little reverse lever in the cab hasto be brought back to the central posi-tion every time the reversing gear hasbeen used, because in order to hold the In this it resembled the indicators wdiirhconnect engine room and bridge on anocean going ship. There being no actualnotches for the reverse lever, there wasno limit to the variation in the lengthof cut-ofT which might be had. The Newton & North Western Rail-way have recently constructed a m
