REVERSING THE ENGINE.
Something Thst Is Never Done Aftei
Applying the Brakes.
There are some popular technical
fallacies so strongly intrenched in
public belief tiiat they survive in
spite of reiterated contradiction.
Among these i- the belief that the
first thing a locomotive engineer
does, or one of the first, when he
sees that a collision is inevitable, is
to apply the brakes and reverse his
engine.
As a matter of fact, we doubt if
one in 10,000 of the locomotive
engineers of this country would be
guilty of the absurdity of reversing
his engine and applying his brakes
at the same time. There was a day
in the earlier history of railroading
when an engineer would have been
considered remiss in liis duties if he
did not in an emergency reverse his
engine, but with the growth of
technical knowledge it has come to
be understood that to reverse the
engine after applying the brakes is
to defeat the very object for which
the train brakes were applied.
In justice to the early locomotive
engineers, however, it should be re
membered that only the tender of
the locomotive carried the brakes,
not the engine itself, and under
those conditions the reversing of
the engine applied an additional,
though comparatively small, retard
ing effect, supplemental to that af
forded by the tender brakes.
The folly of reversing when there
are brakes on the engine and these
brakes are set is evident if we re
member that when the engine is
Pinning with the brakes applied the
retarding effect is due to the large
aggregate area of contact between
the brake shoes and the tread of the
wheels, whereas when the engine is
reversed the frictional area of the
brake shoes is replaced by the very j
small area of the sliding surfaces in
contact between the tread of the
wheels and the rails, with the result j
that there is an immediate large re- !
dmtion of tic retarding effect of
the engine on the train behind it

A PRIZED RECORD.
Original Muster Roll of "Captain A
Lincoln's Company.”
None of the records of the treas
ury department is more highly
prized than the original muster roll
of “Captain A. Lincoln’s company”
in the handwriting of that famous
man himself. It was a voluntary
company organized by Lincoln in
1832 to serve in the Black Hawk
war. Lincoln as an army officer
was the same painstaking, careful
and orderly man that he was later
as president. He kept the muster
rolls of his company himself, and
nowhere can a neater and more
complete account be found.
Although more than eighty years
old now, the roll is wonderfully
well preserved. The paper is of
poor quality, but the handwriting
is still legible and distinct, not a
single error having been made in
the copy. The record has been
bound together along the edges,
and where it has been folded con
stant handling has done consider
able damage to it.
’ The interesting document is
i headed: “Muster Roll of Captain
! A. Lincoln’s Company of the
: Fourth Regiment of Mounted Vol
i unteers, Commanded by Brigadier
j General Samuel Whitesides. Mus
tered out of service of the United
States at the mouth of Fox river
May the 27th, 1832.”
The roll shows that Abraham
Lincoln was the captain and that
he was enrolled with the rest of the
command on April 21 at Richland,
Sangamon country, 111. At the foot *
is Lincoln’s certificate as to the
correctness of the muster roll at the
time of muster out. The only other
handwriting on the document i«
that of Nathaniel Bnckmaster, in
spector and muster officer, certify
ing to the accuracy of the roll rf
Lincoln’s company.
