TheIt. I. works are also building two ten-wheelers forthem, one simple and one compound. This plan ofthe roads, of gcltiug compounds and making com-punitive ti-fits, not wilh oilier compound*, but withsimple engines of exactly Ihe suuie make and ca-pacity, will do a good deal towards proving theewjnoiny of the new engines.
