You seem to think that orders haveonly gone abroad because those who gavethem did not understand their business. Iwish it were so. The competition we haveto face is founded on something muchmore formidable and more researches, the concentration ofcapital, thorough technical education andimproved industrial organizations havemade in recent years a greater advance than here. It is with the productof these combinations, and not with theassumed stupidity of the Indian officials,that the British engineer has to A SNOW laCHTER \T DID IOOK FIGHTING. steam to the back port, just the oppositeto that of the standard valve. If, however, the valve admitted steam atthe ends and exhausted it at the middlethe same as the ordinary slide valve, thelocomotive would be direct acting, and theeccentrics would be located as they are onthe Baldwin compound freight locomotive ;that is, the forward motion would beahead of the crank pin, and the backwardmotion follow the crank pin, in runningahead.

The transpiring of recent events seemsto substantially indicate that the Penn-sylvania Railroad soon will be producingits own steel and manufacturing for itselfall things and equipment requiring steel intheir construction. The recent acquisitionof a large steel plant by the Pennsylvaniawas the first indication that depende
