The machine Is what Is known as
the four stroke cycle. There Is n com
pressed air reservoir , from which the
power Is obtained for starting. This
gives the plbton Its first stroke , when It
takes In the nlr alone at atmospheric
pressure and temperature. The second
stroke compresses this air and raises
It to a temperature of about 1,000 de
grees Fahrenheit. The third stroke
Is what is l < nown ns the working
stroke. The oil Is sprayed Into the
hot air , the amount being regulated
hy governors. During the first part
of this stroke the combustion of this
oil Is carried on at a constant pres
sure for a period that Is regulated by
the amount of -sprayed. . The second
end part of the stroke Is practically
an expansion , with transference of
heat , and the fourth stroke exhausts
the gases. )

There are people in Norfolk as there
are In other towns of this size who
are not willing to accredit a consta
ble's right to make an arrest , but if
they happen to be brought to a test
in the court they will undoubtedly
find that the constable has such au
thority. If the constable is a witness
to a misdemeanor or his services are
summoned , .he Is supposed to be a
servant of the law and act according-
y-
yA heavy hoar frost In Norfolk this
morning was evidence of one of the
atest touches of winter and perhaps
the last hit of evidence that he has
claims upon this territory that spring
is bound to respect. Still there is no
positive guarantee that as much or
worse will be dealt out to the people
jefore the country surrenders to the
gentle influence of the spring sun and
; he warm south winds. Jennie Wren
and the pert blue bird were among
the other feathered songsters to at
test their presence and proclaim their
satisfaction at their return to their
summer. With a lack of rainfall the
past few days and warm southern
winds there has been a rapid drying
of the mud and the streets and roads
will soon be iii their usually good con
dition.
"The Smile That Won't Come Off , "
made a good subject for a good lec
ture that was delivered last night by
II. L. Cope In the Star lecture course
at the Methodist Episcopal church.
Announced as ono of the very best
numbers on the year's schedule , it
drew a crowded house and , better
still , it turned out to be true. Mr.
Cope has a way that is Individual and
distinct. Of pleasing manner and ap
pearance , with a twinkle in his eye
he at once captures his auditors and
holds them throughout the lecture of
two solid hours , and at the end of it
they wifah there might be more. His
theme , of course , Is that the world
takes life toTWathMMCary 100SHKD
better to play a little as time moves
along else time will have come and
gone and the pleasures In little things
all lobt. Ho believes that a little
laugh now and then not a dry one
but a real , hearty lnugh ( Is better than
a bottle of tonic. And he bellevcb that
the whole world's work would move
as rapidly If a llttlo time for recre
ation were given over. Mr. Cope has
had a strenuous time during the pa.st
few weeks. "In all of my seven years
of travel , " ho said , "I have never had
such a time as during the past few
days. Out in the southwestern part
of the state where trains , very delib
erate freight trains , run every other
day it is a fright to try to get around.
Ono day I drove ninety-five miles ,
with three-quarters of an hour off for
*
lunch. " Mr. Cope has had more dates
In Nebraska .than in any other state
except his own , Michigan.
