One Horse 1'ower.
When men first beyin to become fa
miliar with the methods of measuring
uiechanicaj power they often speculate
on where the .breed of horses is to be
found that can kefp at work raising
53,000 jioutids one foot per minute, or
the equivalent, which is more familiar
to sorje mechanics, of raising 330 pounds
100 feet per minute. Since 33,000 jioumis
raised one foot ier minute is called ouu
horse power, it is natural that people
phould think the engineers who estao
lished that unit of measurement based
it on what horses culd really do. lil
the horse that can do this work does not
exist.
The horse power unit was established
by James Watt about a century ago, and
the figures were fixed in a curious way.
Watt found that the average horse of
his district could raise 22,000 pounds one
foot per minute. At that time Watt
was employed in the manufacture of en
gines, and customers were so hard to
find that all kinds of artificial induce
ments were necessary to induce power
users to buy steam engines. As a method
of encouraging them Watt offered to sell
engines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds to
a horse power. And thus he was the
means of giving a false unit to one of
the most important measurements in the
world. Rider and Driver.
A Curious Mining Coincidence.
The figure 9 is curiously and intimate
ly connected with all the great gold
mining excitements of the Nineteenth
century. The great Algerian gold bub
ble formed and broke in 1809. Next
came the Mantazan mountain craze in
1839, when solid bowlders of gold as
large as flour barrels were reported. The
California gold fever broke out iu 1S-19,
and raged until counteracted by the
Pike's Peak boom in 1859. Ten years
later, in 18C9, "Old Virginy," the cele
brated miner, struck the lucky lead
which made Virginia City and Nevada
famous in the mining annals of the
world. Eighteen hundred and seventy
nine came in on time with the Leadville
frenzy and the famous "carbonates" of
Lake county, Colo. Eighteen hun
dred and eighty-nine broke the charm,
but 1899 may make up for lost time,
there being two 9s in that date. St
Louis Republic.
Hawthorne's Old Home.
The ancient fireplaces in the old house
in which Hawthorne was born on Union
street, in Salem, Mass., have been re
opened after having been closed for
many years. The old staples for the
iron crane on which swung the kettle
are still in position. In the fireplace in
the room in which the romancer was
born there was found an ancient iron
shelf on which were sev ral old fashioned
buckshot and rifle balls, just as they
had been run in the molds. There was
also an old time iron firedog, much worn.

Kamie Fiber fox Pipes.
Steam pipes are made of ramie fiber,
hardened under tremendous hydraulic
pressure, and possessing a tensile strength
equal to two and one-half times that of
6teeL The ramie fiber, or China grass,
has the property of being unaffected by
moisture; it will not shrink nor swell, it
is a nonconductor of heat, it cannot
rust, and these features, together with
its great strength, are all desirable in
steam pipes, its utilization in this line
being regarded, therefore, as one of the
possibilities of the future. New York

To Help Laboring Men.
To overcome the serious results that
are experienced upon coming from pro
tracted labor under compressed air. a
waiting chamber, where one can rest
and have the change of pressure take
place gradually, has been used of late,
and it has been found that some diseases
incident to such work are prevented and
some cases cured. The time for resting
varies from five to twenty minutes.
New York Times.
It is rather interesting to note the pho
tographic illustrations of the primitive
manner in which mails are carried even
nowadays in northern Michigan, where
the function of the United States post is
undertaken by dogs. The latter, in
teams of six, draw sledges carrying the
letter sacks over the wintr3- snows.
Where a face is used on a piece of
money it is always in profile, because
the cameo is more readily struck with
the die in that manner, and if a full or
three-quarter face were represented, the
nose of the gentleman or lady would get
damaged in circulation and produce a
ridiculous effect.
It is related as a curious fact that
Paris, with a population of nearly 2.
500,000 souls, has less than 100 negroes
within its limits. Statisticians say thai
the whole of France cannot muster a
negro population exceeding 500.
A recent discovery proves that pine

A Tery gj rem.
Many stories told of the crafty fox are
doubtless incidents of the imagination.
But a recent writer tells an anecdote
which, though taxing belief, he says ia
vouched for by an eje witness of the
affair. Some fishermen on the west coast
of Ireland were in the habit of going to
a fcmall inland, a few hundred yards
from the mainland, in quest of bait.
The island was inhabited by large
numb- rs of rabbits, and could be reached
at low tide by wading, the water there
being only a few inches deen. One
morning they went in their boat quite
early, it being high tide, and on landiiijf
saw a dead fox lying Jn the beach. The
fur of the animal was all bedraggled,
and he seemed to have been drowned
One of the men, remarking that his skin
was worth homethiug, pitched him into
the boat. Procuring their bait they r
tnrned to the mainland, and the m;r.j
who had jios-sessed himself of the fox
seized him by the tail and flung him n:i
&hore.
As soon as the animal struck the bear h
he picked himself up with considerai !
agility for a dead fox and shot off lik- ;i
flash up among the cliffs, while the in
stood staring at each other in mute as
tonishment. The men concluded tii
he had crossed over to the island dnr:
the night, when the tide was low. .
search of rabbits, and finding in t
morning that ho was cut off from
mainland counterfeited death, with 1 .
expectation of thereby procuring a pa
age to the bhore in a boat, an expect
tion which was fully realized. l-Josii.

The Oreathead Underground SyMem.
The cars are supplied with longitudinal
seats, lighted by electricity, and luxuri
ously cushioned, the passengers faciisvc
one another. The locomotive is an elect ric
motor, picking up its electricity from :i
central rail through which the elect re
current is conducted by a copper wire;
and inasmuch as, for each track, therein
a separate tunnel only a trifle larger thai;
the train (which fills almost the whole of
the annular space, except only at sta
tions), each train acts as a piston, driving
out, from station to station, the air
through which the preceding train
passed.
The stations are connected with the
open air and are not more than three
quarters of a mile apart; any foul air
which gathers in the tunnel is thus ex
pelled by each passing train. Indeed,
the air in the tunnel is of a more equable
temperature, and is kept more constantly
moved and freshened, than the air on the
surface; and frequently on dark and
murky days it has been noticed that the
air and atmosphere, strange as it may
appear, are far more pleasant in the tun
nel than on the street surface. Simon
Sterne in Forum.
liaising Water in London Docks.
In lieu of incurring the immense ex
pense of excavating the London docks to
accommodate the increased size given to
modern ships, large pumping engines
have now been set tip, aud the water in
the docks is raised by this means. Some
idea of the demands upon these engines
can be had from the size of the docks,
one of which has an area of nearly ten
acres, the pumps which raise the water
having a capacity of GS5 tons per minute
and raising the water level five feet i;i
one a half hours.
Centrifugal pumps of superb work
manship are employed, driven direct by
compound tandem engines, and the power
of these pumps is evident from the fact
that the inlet orifices to the main pumps
are fifty-four inches in diameter, and,
when worked together, the three pumps
have a capacity to raise 57,G00,000 gal
lons of water in five hours, against an
average head of ten feet. The pumps
are arranged to be worked separately
and independently or together, as de
sired, and the engines are supplied with
steam at a hundred pounds pressure by
powerful boilers. New York Sun.
Tbe Uisr Kimberley Mine.
No pen can adequately describe the
appearance of the Kimberley mine. It is
the largest hole made by man, and in the
shortest space of time, for the incentive
to work was there the diamond. A
spectator standing on the edge looks
down and sees men at work looking like
ants in size, and during the blasting
hours he can in perfect safety witness
the explosion of thousands of pounds of
dynamite and note the rending of masses
of blue and rock, which would fall far
below him.
As an honor to the late "Chinese Gor
don" when he visited the mines, the
writer saw the Kimberley mine illumin
ated at night with thousands of impro
vised lamps, assisted with colored fires
and displays of fireworks. The weird
effect produced was grand, for the eye
could not properly measure distance at
night, and the twinkling lamps but
served to heighten the effect. Engineer
ing Magazine.
The Crude Scarecrow.
The old clothes scarecrow in its crude
state is merely a wooden cross over
which is drawn a tattered coat. Usual
ly about half of each sleeve's length dan
gles over the end of the short arm, lend
ing an aspect of lassitude that is height
ened by the tipsy imitation, either given
to, or speedily acquired by, the cross.
You neve' saw a scarecrow standing
bolt upright. An old hat slouched reck
lessly above the coat, never fails to give
an air of demoralization to the figure.

Throughout the British dominions
whale and sturgeon are royal fish, and
those cast ashore belong to the crown
In old times the rule was that the king
should have the head of the whale and
the queen the tail, because the whale
bone, which was useful in her toilet,
was supposed to be in the tail; the truth
being, however, that both the whale
bone and the precious ambergris were to
be found in the head. Harper's Bazar.
