World's- Fair, and one of the most interesting things to be seen there is the old Stephenson locomotive, John Bull, of which venerable relic the Pennsylvania Company gives the following account " The history of the locomotive dates back to a period when locomotion by steam was in the earliest age of experimentalism. For several years previous to 1830 experiments attended with more or less success had been made in England with locomotives to be propelled by steam. In 1830 the Planet, constructed by George Stephenson, wasthe best example of a machine of this character, and after witnessing a trial of its pow- ers in 1830, Mr. Robert L. Stevens, the founder of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, placed an order with Stephenson to build an engine on the same lines for shipment to- this country. This engine, christened John Bull after its arrival in America, Avas com- pleted in May, 1831, and shipped to Philadelphia, where it arrived in August of the same year. It was then transshipped to Bordentown. The boiler and cylinders were in place, but the other component parts were packed in boxes, and it was with the utmost difficulty that they could be put together and adjusted by mechanics who had never before seen a piece of mechanism of a similar character.
