*‘Lundon—(Speeial to the Herald)

A new type of locomotive fur express

passenger service hus recently. been
developed “br the London and North
Bastern Railway. The design was
udepted in tests made on a madel in
a Wind flume, with ait currents of
speeds up ta 50 miles an hours

The locomotive has three heilers,
hoat shaped at the front, which fnne-
tion us one. It possesses the unusual-
ly high boiler pressure of 450 pounds
per square inch, which has never be-
tore been attempted with any British’
locomotive. This pressure — requires
steel castings for the horsepower cy-
linders which are 12 inches in diamet-
or, That outside low - pressure of
locomotives for British railways las
been between 200° nnd’ 250 pounds per
sqnare’ inch. The object. of using
high pressure is for fuel economy.

The letter was ‘written at "Quebec

of September ‘left the “fortress still in
the possession of the French, Vaud-
reuil, the governor, however ‘ordered
the retreat of the whole army to Jaq-
ues Cartier leaving de Ramezay and

themselves.

For four days, de Ramezay, hoping
against hope for the return of the
army, bravely withstgod the demands
of the enemy for the. surrender of
Quebec. The presence of a victorious
army ontside the gates, the fleet in
the river, the fire from the batteries
of Point Levis, to which no response
was possible, and the pang of hunger
rendered the inhabitants —
and mutiny was suppressed with dif-
ficulty.

Tt was at.this stage that de Rame-
zay ‘sent-out ‘his touching appeal. A
few hours later he was foreed yield

rule began.

letter was written is in keeping with
