AN IMPROVED HAY STACKER. The construction shown in the illustration is designed to be erected in a mow or shed or in a barn or wher ever hay or straw is to be stacked the device receiv ing the hay or straw directly from the fork and being manipulated from the wagon to distribute the load to any side of the stack as desired. The improvement has been patented by Mr. Thomas Collins of Overton Bradford County Pa. At the center of the space to receive the stack is erected a post on the upper end of frame to facilitate the erection of the stacker where space is limited. The platform and its extension frame F are held at any desired inclination by rack or toothed arms E pivoted one to each side of the plat form at its front end to a crossbar K. The platform representing connecting pieces and Z braces for the main post. The sectional figures illustrate details of construction. The extension frame of the platform is adapted to be manipulated by two ropes or cables by which the frame is extended or withdrawn other cables being provided by which the frame and plat form are rotated upon the central post to deposit the hay or straw delivered by the fork directly to any side of the stack. All the cables lead to the wagon when it is in position to discharge its hay. The device is de signed to symmetrically build up a stack without the assistance of additional laborers in distributing the hay or straw as placed. EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE. The explosion of which our engraving shows the curious results occurred on the 14th of January at Soosmez in Hungary on the railway from Buda Pesth to Bucharest. Locomotive No. 4 whose boiler exploded had just pulled a freight train into the station and was stand ing upon the track when a terrific detonation oc curred that shook the earth and air with such force that all the windows of the neighboring village were broken. The greater part of the cylindrical body of the boiler as well as the smokestack had been pro jected into the air and pieces w_
