LONG LIVED BRITISH ENGINES.
Many examples have come to light of British engines which have been at work from the very earliest days of steam engineering, The Science Museum in London has recently placed among its exhibits a pumping engine made iti the year 1791 by Newcomen. This engine was at work until the year 1915 at a colliery near Derby. Another engine which was made in the early part of the 19th century has also been presented to the Museum. Both engines are still capable of doing useful work although they represent pioneer types very different from the British steam engines ot to-day.
