BRITISH Hill REUURDS'VCURE THE MUST NON-STOP RUN FROM LONDON TO PLYMOUTH. English Railways Rivalry Time Reduction â€" Mail Train‘s Speed. v in record in railroad tram-lâ€" ling has been est-.iblishcd I‘y the (trial Western llnilmul Ill Uri-zit lfximin. On July 1 a rn:l|.t: rou- Hop daily train S"! .icv: was estab- lished between the London at Pnddington and Plymouth. The distance is 216 miles, and the “Corâ€" ni>hfnan Limited Express" is scheduâ€" led to over the journey in each direcâ€" tion in 265 minutes without. a single stop. This supplies an average. speed of 55.69 miles for the journey, This} therefore, constitutes the longest nomstop railroad run in the world. LONG lllCLll RECORD. 1% 01' since the year 1896 this rnil« road has retained such a nonâ€"stop rtr'ord, for in that year the railroad company initiated a through nonâ€" stop train from London to lixeter. 194 miles, covered in 3 hours it) minutes. During: the subsequent ,H‘DJ‘S. however, this run has been increased to 3 hours 30 minutes, Cqual to an average speed of 51.7 miles per hour. in the recently in- augurated run, however, the. time between these tw0 points has been Still further reduced by 5 minutes, increasing thereby the average speed -\ new lto 56.7 miles per hour. Hitherto lthis railroad has not been able to make the journey a nonâ€"stop one beyond Exeter, owing to the absence' of the water troug‘hs between the tracks from which to replenish the engine's water supply. Now, how- ever, a trough has been laid down at Starcross, betWeen Exeter and Plymouth. Furthermore, the coal capacity of the engine has been conâ€" siderably increased, and larger lu- bricating boxes have been sup- plied, so that the oil boxes can con- tain a sufficient supply for the entire journey. NOT YET AT LIMIT. Meritorious though this run of 2416 miles in 265 minutes is, yet, if the, necessity arises, the speed can be} considerably accelerated. This fact? was demonstrated on May 9th last, with the Nerth German Lloyd liner ‘Kronprinz Wilhelm. On this occasion the train covered the distance of, 2‘16} miles from the dock at Ply- mouth to Paddington in the remarkâ€" ably short time of 3 hours 4-6 min- utes. The run, however, Was not a nonâ€"stop, as a mail van was deâ€" tatched and engines changed at Bris- tol, necessitating a halt of 3 min~| Utes-43 seconds, which stop, howâ€" ever, was included in’ the time of the. casion was 65.49 miles per hour for the whole journey, and the last 36 miles of the run to Paddington \vas .Covered at the rate of 79.17 miles per hour. On the occasion of the trial run of the “Cornishman Limitâ€" ed Express,” 8. new record was made betwéen London and Bath, the 107 miles being completed in 102 minâ€" utes. The road, although not so level as that between Camden and Atlantic City, is yet comparatively easy, but after leaving Exeter the road beâ€" comes more difl‘icult. Especially so is the last 52 miles into Plymouth, the track abounding in stih‘ gradi- cuts, of 1 in 40, with numerous sharp curves, which militate considerably against fast traVelling. SOME NOTABLE RUNS. There is strenuous friendly rivalry at present existing among the vari- ous English railroad companies to establish non-stop records. The Lon- don and North-western Railroad is contemplating the establishment of 8. terminus ‘ I; EXTREME GASES ‘STONE IN THE KIDNEYS CAN- l NOT STAND BEFORE DODD‘S KIDNEY PILLS. Mr. S. A.

Several of the through northern expresses cover the journey every day between Grantham and London, 105 miles, without a stop. Their present longest. non-stop run is between Wakefield and London, 1753 miles, in 3 hours 10 minutes, an avâ€" erave speed of 55.5 miles per hour. Owing to the institution by the Mid- land Railroad of a through express between London and Leeds. the Great Northern, which also serves the latter town, is instituting a sim- ilar service, the .1851} miles to be covered in 195 minutes an average speed of 57.07 miles per hour. POWERFUL ENGINES. The Great Northern Railroad also proposes considerable accelerations in connection with the East Coast exâ€" presses. For this purpose mammoth powerful engines have been conâ€" structed. These are designed by the railroad engineer, are of the Com- pound “Atlantic” class, and repre- sent the limit of the dimensions of a locomotive of the normal type in Great Britain. They have been speciâ€" ally designed to work the East Coast route express trains kt a speed varyâ€" ing from 55 to 60 miles. per hour, with loads of from 380 to 400 tons behind the tender. The special feature of this type of engine is the length and circunu‘erâ€"l ence of the boiler. The inside diaâ€" ‘metcr of the boiler is 5 feet 6 inches, and the length of the tubes, reprew senting the distance between the smoke-box and the fireâ€"box, 16 feet 3 inches. The heating surface furnishâ€" ed by the tubes aggregates 2,800 square feet, while that of the fire- bOX supplies about another 200 square feet. The working stem presâ€" sure is about 185 pounds per square inch. The two outside cyclinders measure 18 inches in diameter by 24- inch stroke, .and‘the diameter of the four driving coupled wheels is 6 feet 8 inches. The length of the engine and tender is 58yfeet over all, and through nonâ€"stop service between London and Carlisle, a distance of 299} miles. They have already made such a run with a "special," which covered the journey in 5 hours and 43 minutes, an average speed of 51 miles per hour. With their latest type of engines, however, this rail- roid company could considerably in- crease this speed if desired. On the occasion of the Postal Congress at Glasgow last year, the train contain- ing the delegates, and representing a weight of 450 tons, was hauled ovar the 4014} miles between the two cities. both on the outward and reâ€" turn journeys, without. a stop, in 6 hours and 6 hours 5 minutes respecâ€" tively. at average speeds of 66.9 miles and 66 miles per hour. MAIL TRAINS’ SPEED. Already the boat trains running from Liverpool to London in conâ€" nection with the incoming American mails. three of four times a week, cover the 192 miles in 3 hours 45 minutes, on average speed of 51 miles per hour. Other notable longâ€"dis- tance nonâ€"stop runs on this system include Wigan to Willescen. 188.} miles, in 3 hours ~11 minutes, averâ€" ‘ their combinedv weight in working order is 110 tons. _â€"_+- MALA_Y ‘ SUPERSTITION. Believe the Crocodile Is a. Spirit of the Water. Along the Malacca Straits the Ma.- lays still believe that many beasts, are sacred, and they are particularly impressed with the belief that the crocodile is a spirit of the water. Therefore, these ugly monsters are not only extraner plentiful there, but they are so daring that they make most of the waterways dan~ gerous even for persons in boats. The Englishmen who dwell in t-hat‘ part of the country declare that” hardly a week passes without the killing of a native by a crocodile. The brute swims slowly along behind the rude, flimsy canoes and dugouts used there and suddenly switches his terrible tail around in such a way as to sweep the man out of the boat into the water. Here and there along the banks of the black rivers “ill be seen strips age speed 51.1 miles per hour: Lonâ€" don to Stockport, 183 miles, in 3 hours 18 minutes, speed 55.4 miles per hour; London to Chester, 7‘.) miles. in hours 33 minutes, speed 50.4 miles per hour.
