Dont forget that answers must accom-pany all puzzles and problems. Quick Action from the Leading Engine. A few years ago considerable excite-ment was had over the failure of a certainroad to get quick action from the leadingengine of a double-header train. Severalother roads tried it, and while some wereable to get it. others were not. Experi-ments proved that the cause lay in crookedpiping and the unnecessary use of engine was reported to have fourteenelbows in the train pipe betweeiLthe frontof the engine and rear of the tfnder, andof course would not permit a sufficientlysudden reduction of pressure to give quickaction on the cars of the train, I-Iowever,when this number of elbows was reason- brakes that escaped the fire. Several let-ters, held over for good reasons, were-destroyed. So if your correspondence-does not appear, o
