Bach engine and tender measures overall 97 feet in length and weighs 725,000 pounds, being 78 «#imes heavier than Stephenson's his- toric "Rocket," They will have a tractive effort of no less than 78,000 pounds, and will be able to develop over 4,200 horsepower, or about 85 times as" much power as the "Rocket." At a capital cost of 46 times as much, the cylinders are 26% inches in diameter and the stroke is 82 inches, The new engines have been con- ceived, experimented with and de- signed by the motive power depart: ment of the Canadian Pacific Rail. way and will be built wholly in Canada, The oilfired boiler, containing over two miles of piping, is con- structed wholly of nickel steel and designed to withstand 280 pounds boiler pressure, In addition to the nickel steel boiler and fire-hox plate and staybolts, all forgings will be of a new composition, low carbon nick- el steel, which has been experiment- ed with during the past year with good results, Delivery of the new engines is ex- pected to start some time early in the summer, SCIENTIFIC FLIGHT OVER ARCTIC 18 PLANNED FOR (930 Society Seeks to Learn More About Shortest Route America to Europe | Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan, 81.--A dirigible flight over the unknown part of the Arctic in the spring of 1930 is the object of the Intar- national Society for the Explora- tion of the Arctic Reglons by means of the airship.

But the shortness is not the only factor in choosing the way for safety of travel has to be con- sidered. "Therefore, this expedition will be a scientific enterprise, because upnn' scientific facts will be based all the applied developments. The flight proposes to get intimate in- formation about at least part of the many hundreds of thousands of square miles in the Arctic which man has never seen, "It is important to sound the depths of the sea, to fix exa::'y the limits of the continental shelf, which is the sea bottom near con- tinents at depths not exceeding 100 fathoms, The deeper portions of the Arctic seas should be sounded alse, Differences in the amounts of salt in the water at varying depths, and differences in tempera- tures of the water will be taken, "Of first importance {is more data about Arctic weather, not only for its flying uses, but because it is the factory that either produces or controls the weather of the nor thern hemisphere, Studies ot mar- ine plant life and sea animal life are in the program of the expedi- tion, "A dirigible will be 1'sed because more can be accomplished. It can remain on' flight for a week, in perpefual day, carrying three shifts of scientists, thereby making pos- sible continuous observations, and making stops sufficiently to obtain observations, "The expedition will be Interna- tional with a German U'rigihle, Norwegian leader, a scientific staff drawn from various countries, and support promised by several na- tions. Russia, for example, has promised to erect a mooring mast on the murmansk coast. It is hoped that the United States will permit the use of the Patoka with her, mooring mast." 8.03 Daily except Si £10 bm. Daly. 2.00 8.m. Daily Pl. Ay ed shaws Station," C. N. R.

I -------- THIS NAD EVERYTHING BUT MONEY brid «: New Britain, Conn., Jan, 31.-- David Panco's wedding might easily have been the most spectacular event on the New London social calendar this season if David had possessed anything besides his nerve and a rare talent for showmanship. : Happy in the thought that the 14- year-old daughter of his boarding- house landlady had consented to be his bride, David, who is 22, made a tour of the city's business district and made the following preparations for the occasion, police said last night: Hired the largest hall in town. Wired for a Springfield, Mass., or- chestra and vaudeville troupe to pro- vide entertainment. : Ordered an $800 fur coat and sev- eral hundred dollars worth of gowns and lingerie for his prospective e. Asked the priest to drop around at 8 o'clock, The total bill amounted to some. thing like $10,000. David told every- body concerned that he'd pay C.0.D., it was said. But when delivery boys, musicians and entertainers began to arrive, David smiled wanly, police said, admitted he didn't have a cent and said the elaborate preparation Your Own Home 8 were only a gesture to pl his fiancee. The police came just as the wed- ding ended, accompanied by the bride's mother. She furiously in- formed the gathering that Panco had no consent to marry her daughter, a minor, and whisked the girl straight home. The young bridegroom was arrest- ad and held on $2,000 bail, The Governor has been placed on record as believing that "the title and constant control of the power generated at the sources shall remain definitely in the peo- ple and shall not be alienated by long term leases."
