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 As fDArtagnan Sees It I am the first to admire the

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

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 i 1 s kl 1 1 1 m fti1 Wl 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 the bone
