. - ; - ’■ WONDERS OF THE WORLD. (Continued from 4th page.) now in use daily conveying trains across the Straits ofCarvuinez,between Benecia and Port Costa. The Solano is 460 feet long, 116 feet wide, and zo feet depth of hold. She has eight steel boilers, four rudders and a tonnage of 3,84. tons. On her decks are four railway tracks, with capacity for 48 ordinary freight cars and 2 locomo tives, or 28 passenger coaches of the largest build. The famous Corliss engine, the larg est ever constructed, and the one used to drive the machinery in the great hall at the centennial ol 1876, is now in the shops of t£e Pullman Car Com pany, at Kensington, near Chicago, III. The writer is aware that thisdiffers from other statements that have been made, it being generally supposed that the Emperor of Brazil bought the en gine and removed it to his own coun try. He did talk of buying it, but the bargain was never consummated This tireless giant works in an up right position, is over 40 feet high, of 1,400 horse power and has two 40-inch cylinders and a io-foot stroke. The largest locomotive ever con structed prior to 1880 was that made at the Baldwin Locomotive Works during the early part of 1879. It was turned out ready for use April 10th of that year and named ■ Uncle Dick. Uncle Dick weighed 130,000 pounds; was 60 feet from headlight to the rear end of the tender He is now at work on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. As before stated, Uncle Dick was the most powerful locomotive in the world prior to 1880. During the year 1883 the same works that constructed Uncle Dick turned out several locomo tives for the North Pacific railroad, each weighing 180,000 pounds. During the same year, as if to over shadow the Baldwin works, the Cen tral Pacific Company caused to be built at their shops in Sacramento, Cal., what are really the largest loco motives in the world. They have eight drive wheels each, the cylinders arc 19 inches in diameter, and the stroke 3 feet. These engines weigh, exclusive of tender, 123,000 pounds, and with the tender, as Uncle Dick’s weight was given, they weigh almost 190,000 pounds, said to be about 23 tons above Baldwin’s best efforts. The largest and costliest private mansion in the world is that belonging to Lord Bute, called Montstrout, and situated near Rothesay, England. It covers nearly two acres, is built in gothic style; the walls, turrets, and balconies are built of stone. The immense tower in the centre of the building is 120 feet high, with a balco ny around the top. The halls are constructed entirely of marble and alabaster, and the rooms are finished in maliagony, rosewood and walnut The fireplaces are all carved marbles of antique design. The exact cost of this lairy palace is not known, but it has never been estimated at less than $8,000,000. Paris claims the largest theater in the world. It is of solid stone, fin ished with marble floors, and covers about four acres of ground. The largest hotel in the United States, and probably the largest in the world, is located at San Francisco, Cal. It is nine stories high and cost $3,500,- 000. It is named the Palace and has accommodations for 1,500 guests. New Orleans boasts the largest cus tom house in this or any other land. It was begun in 1840, and over 'thirty years elapsed before it was finished and ready for use. It is built of Quin cy granite, the interior being finished in finest marble. It has 111 rooms; hight from the pavement to the lop of the cornice is 80 feet, and to the top of the light on the dome 187 feet. The dome itself is 49 feet square and 61 feet high. Estimated total cost of building, $4,900,000. The largest school in the world is the Jews’ tree school of Spitalsfield, England, which has a daily attendance of 2,800. Waiting Thirty Years for Her Lover From the Chicago Tribune. . A romantic story is connected with ihe life of a woman who frequents the railroad station in Manchester, N. H. She is about 50 years old, but now bent with care, and her long hand some tresses streaked with gray; she always carries a traveling bag in her hand, and as the crowds arrive she scans each person eagerly, and then turns sadly away. The woman some thirty years ago was one of the belles of the city, courted by many. The favored lover, however, followed the 6ea. y' One day he left for a voyage. Their troth had been plighted, and on his return he was to lead her to the altar, but the sailor lover never returned, and no message cqme to explain his absence. The grief and disappoint ment caused the woman a long illness When she recovered she insisted that her lover was true, and tven if he was otherwise she would remain constant, For this reason she goes to the rail road station to greet him home, and almost every day for the last thirty years, winter and summer, spring and autumn, in fair weather and foul, she has beep there on this errand. She is retiring in her disposition, and neyer frequents the waiting rooms or mingles with the crowd upon the plat form. “The Old Oaken Thicket, The Iron-bouml Bucket, The Moss-covered Bucket," ifl very likely the one that 1ms conveyed poi sons to your system from some old well, whoso waters have become contaminated from sewers, vault*, or percolations from the soil.
