Laughing at Greatness.

We always think of great men as in the
act of performing the deeds which give
them renown, or else in stately repose
grand, gloomy and majestic. And vet
this is hardly fair, because even the most
gorgeous and magnificent of human be-
ings have to bother themselves with the
little things of life which engage the at
tention of us smaller people. No doubt
Moses snuffed and got angry when he
had a severe cold in his head and if fly
bit his leg while he was sitting in the des-
ert-why should we not suppose he did
not lump and use violent language and
rub the sore place? And Caesar, isn't it
tolerably certain that he used to become
furious when he went up stairs in the dark
to get his slippers and found that Calphur-
mia had showed them back under the bed
so that he had to sweep around wildly for
them with the handle And when
reasonable to suppose that he hoped
around the room and looked mad and felt
as if he wanted to cry? Imagine George
Washington sitting on the edge of the
bed putting on clean shirt, growing at
Martha because the buttons were off; or
St. Augustine with an apron around his

sleep at two o'clock in the morning; or
Alexander the Great with the hiccups; or
Thomas jefferson getting suddenly over
fence to avoid a dog; or the Duke OF
Wellington lying in a bed with the
humps; or Daniel Webster abusing his
wife because she hadn't tucked the covers
in at the foot of the bed or Benjamin

RAILWAY SPEED. The London Engineer
tates that the highest railway speed in
The world is attained in England, and that
the highest of all is reached on the Great
Western railway-the speed on the latter
being given roundly as fifty miles an hour.
Instances are given, however, of siXty-tive
and seventy miles an hour, and the En-
wineer believes that it would be possible
To lay permanent ways so well, and to
maintain it in such excellent order, that
trains might travel ON it with perfect safety
At one hundred miles an hour-indeed,
miles upon miles of such tracks are now
TO be found on the most Of the great mail
lines, but nowhere can one hundred con-
Secutlvc miles of permanent way in per-
lection be found; and, as chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, SO few
hundred yards of bad track would spoil
for the purpose of travelling at one hun
bred miles a whole line. The really i'm
portant question:, argues the Engineer, is,
riyen the line and the cars fit for it, what
Shall the engine be like, and is it possible
TO construct an engine at all which, with Il
moderately heavy train, will attain and
maintain a velocity Of one hundred miles
an hour, on a line with no grade heavier
than, say one in three hundred? After a
thorough examination of the question in
all its bearings, the Engineers figures
prove that it is absolutely impossible to
obtain speed of one hundred miles on a
railway, if the resistance is anything like
one hundred and twenty pounds per ton.

Tnr WRONG SPRING The following
story is from Bartlett Springs, where, As
is well known, there are a number of small
springs possessing various qualities. The
water Of some is recommended for drink
inc purposes, of others for bathing, or tor
the cure of certain diseases but the one
to which our narrative refers is small
soda spring, the water of which is consid-
cred an excellent drink, and spring
recommended for the cure of corns.
1t seems that an old gentleman who was
troubled with corns made it practice to
90 to the soda spring every evening and
give his corns soak before turning in for
the night under the impression that it was
the corn SPRING The aristocratic visitors
likewise made tia practice to 90 to the soda
spring and take a drink before retiring,
which was usually little after the old
gentleman GOT through soaking his corns.
They We're rather tastidious in their tastes
and would very carefully rinse out the cup
before taking drink, but one evening one
OF them happened to come down a little
earlier than common and found the old
gentleman soaking his corns as usual. The
heightened chap Indignantly demanded
what he meant Amt this the corn

The Government Boiler Tests.

We have already announced the appro-
priation by the Government Of 500, 600,
to be expended in an extensive and ex-
haustive series of boiler trials at Sandy
Hook and at Pittsburgh Although it was
intended to conduct these tests during the
past months of September and October, it
has been found that the extent of the nee
essary preparation has caused an unavoid-
able delay, existing up to the present time.
Now. however, it seems that the expert
mentS will be begun at once, and some 70
workmen are engaged at Sandy Hook set
ting up the ten boilers to be employed.
The latter are of the best material and
construction, and will be placed in the po-
sition in which they are usually located
upon steamers The bomb proof shelter
is to be built at a distance Of $50 feet from
the boilers. Suitable promoters, Their
mometers, and other necessary instruments
will he supplied, and self-regulating cages
are to be buried in the earth near the boil
ers.
The Government Commission consists Of
the following gentlemen Supervising In
spector Addison and O. W. Copeland, Of
New York, J. H. Robinson, Of Boston,
Supervising Inspector John Menshaw, Of
Baltimore, j. V. Holmes, Of Ohio Benja-
min Crawford and Supervising Inspector
John $. Devinney, of Pittsburgh. The
experiments will be mainly to determine
the truth or fallacy Of the various theories
as to the causes and conditions Of boiler
explosions. which theories are briefly
First Explosions caused by the gradual
increase Of steam pressure.
Second Those caused by low water and
overheating Of the plates Of the boiler.
Third Those caused by deposit or scdi-
ment, or incrustation on the inner surface
exposed to the fire.
Fourth Those caused by the generation
Of explosive gases within the boiler
Fifth Those caused by electrical action.
Sixth Those caused by the persuasive
action of the water in case of rupture of
boiler in the steam chamber Clark & Col
burn theory.
Seventh Those caused BY the water be-
ing deprived of its air
Eighth Those caused by the spheroidal
condition Of the water.
Ninth Those caused by the repulsion
Of the water from the fire surface Of plates
The Sandy Hook trials will extend over
several days, and the results will be duly
noted in these columns. The Pittsburgh
tests will begin on November ~ and on
their completion the Commission will re
turn to Sandy Hook, with view of exper-
imehting upon various safety valves.
