One of the railroad boys gives an
account of an experience that he
observed while working on a west
ern road. A graduate from a school
for locomotive engineers received
employment very soon after leaving
school. He was refined in his man
ners and language, and when want
ing to instruct his fireman to fire, up
would say, “Horace, will you deposit
within the furnace of the locomotive
a diminutive number of the detailed
excreciencies of the defunct tree.”
When the run had been made, it
is customary for the engineer to say
to the fireman to “douse the. glint”
meaning to put out the headlight.
The graduate would say, “Horace,
will you perambulate your jaded
anatomy along the highway of the
locomotive and extinguish the noc
turnal' illuminator. ”
When the e.ngine needed oiling, lie
would say, “Horace, will you pro
ceed to vitiate any friction which
may occur by cooling the gearing
with a solubrious supply of the
antifriction.”'
When: it was necessary to ring the
bell on approaching a station, he
would say, “Horace, will you disturb
the. zephyr by pulling the rope which
will cause to emanate from the com
position of metals in the bell dis
tinct sounds.”
