Will steam power, give tfffj’ Lt ’ compressed air for driving locomotives and hauling fast passenger trains ? That is the vision of Mr William E. •Boyette, an American, whose amazing challenge to the locomotive—a truck-shaped locomotive propelled by compressed air—is about to undergo a trial run. The 40ft. locomotive is designed to attain a maximum speed of 125 miles an’ hour. Its power is obtained from air compressed to a pressure ol : 4001 bto the square ' inch, and' carried ill' tanks behind the cab. Should the pressure in tlio tanks 1 drop below 3601 b a pump operated by -electric storage batteries automatically replenishes them. .Protect yourself against lo D se by fire by insuring with the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society, Ltd.— W.
