THE LARGEST WATER WHEEL
Erected at Troy N Y and Is 66 Feet
in Diameter
Troy N Y Engineers and sight
seers in Troy N Y are much inter
ested in what is called the biggest
water wheel in the world It is 06
feet in diameter and 22 feet wide
The monster has 3G buckets each big
enough to hold a barrel of Scotch
highballs
They call it the Burden wheel and
it was a long time coming to a finish
Work was begun on the wheel away
back in 1819 The wheel was a suc
cess from the start and ran almost
continuously until about ten years ago
when the shop in which it turned the
machinery was abandoned
The wheel today stands just as it
was originally built with the excep
tion of a few repairs of no great im
portance The big wheel made two
and a half turns a minute and drove
the entire plant of the Burden man-
The Monster Water Wheel
ufactory which turned out new things
of a mechanical character famous the
world over Burden is chiefly known
as the inventor of a horseshoe ma
chine Some time ago it was pro
posed to demolish the wheel and
work was actually commenced but
there were many protests and an ef
fort is now making to have the wheel
preserved as a monument to the
builder who as an inventor won na
tional fame

JUST AS A TEST
I couldnt feel sure said he to his
chum that she really cared for me
so I wrote myself this telegram Will
you go as accountant for tea frrn in
China at salary of 10 per week
Start Thursday Answer at once I
signed the name of a fictitious firm
and showed her the telegram as soon
as I got to her house that night
What do you think about it she
asked
I dont know what to think said I
She mused a little while
Do you want to go she asked me
If it wasnt for you Id want to go
Then she said in a faint voice
Do whatever you think best
Id go if it wasnt for you I re
plied
She sat very still looking at the
fire Then of a sudden she began to
cry
Oh dont go dont go she
wailed Dont go and leave me all
alone What would I do what would
I do without you
So I told her I wouldnt go It is
a grand thing to have a girl care for
you so much as that I know that
this girl loves me truly
If I had been the girl said the
young mans listener I should have
said Accept the offer and well be
married at once and start for China
together
The young man grinned By Jove
I hadnt thought of that he admitted
Wouldnt I have been in a fix though
if she had said that

COMMON FEAR OF GIANTS
Oppose Dissection After Death Tale
of Irish Freak
New York The Russian giant re
cently exhibited In this country is pos
sessed of a great fear that when dead
his body will be given to surgeons
for dissection It is said that he has
been offered 5000 for his brain but
in this time of tireless press agents
the statement may be fairly open to
question This fear however is prob
ably common to all freaks and the
most striking case in show history
is that of the Irish giant Charles
Byrne He was eight feet four inches
tall in his bare feet but with thick
soled boots and a tall hat much was

Skeleton of the Irish Giant
added to his height Byrne feared the
surgeons but they got him after all
and what remains to perpetuate his
memory is in the hands of his ene
mies He was a man of full habit
a giant in appetite as well as in
inches and the amount of liquor he
could carry without losing his bal
ance was amazing But in the end it
aided materially in his demise
He died in Cockspur street Charing
Cross London in 1783 at the age of
22 The chronicler tells that his end
was accelerated by excessive drinking
and by his grief over the loss of his
property 3500 in one bank note
which he always carried with him
But certain provisions were made so
that whatever happened to him there
remained money enough in his estate
to pay certain fishermen to take his
body out to sea and sink it This
was done it is said but meantime
much money had come from another
source and they took good care to re
cover the giants body So it was
that after all the fear that haunted
him in life after all his carefully laid
plans to defeat the surgeons his body
finally came to their hands The
skeleton is now in the museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons at Lin
colns Inn It is a poor consolation
to the outraged shadow of Mr Byrne
that though long departed from tin
flesh he is still a star attraction it
