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.
