NOBILITY OF BoR.-Hardly anything is
more contemplate than the conceit which
rests upon social position the conccit of those
who imagine that they are thus divorced from
the clay of common men; of those who shrink
with horror from the idea of work, as some
thing that degrades by its contact, and yet
who, likely, owe their present position to some
not very remote ancestor, who, recognizing
his call to work, lived more honestly in the
world than they do, and was not ashamed of
oiled thumbs. 1t is one of the meanest things
for people to be ashamed of the work which
glorifed their ancestors more, with their soled
aprons and black gowns, than they with their
fine ribbons and fashy jewelry. 1t might be
a fine thing to be like lily, more gloriously
clothed than Solomon, and doing nothing, as
five were lilies. Advantageous position is
only little more emphatic call for work
and while those who hold the advantage may
not be compelled to manual drudgery, they
should recognize the fact that manual drudge
ry may be performed in the same spirit as
that which characterizes their own world, and
therefore it is equally honorable

ESTIMATING HORSE POWER.-A waterfall
has one-horse power for every $4,000 Tbs. OF
water flowing in the stream per minute, for
each foot of fall. To compute the power of a
stream, therefore, multiply the area of its
cross section in feet by the velocity in feet per
minute, and we have the number of cubic feet
flowing along the stream per minute. Multi
ply these by 62!, the number of pounds in .
cubic foot of water, and this by the vertical
fall in feet, and we have the foot-pounds per
minute of the fall dividing by $4,000 gives us
the horse power.
For example: A stream flows through a
fume 10 feet wide, and the depth of the water
is feet the area of the cross section will be
40 feet. The velocity is $50 feet per minute
40x150=6,000=the cubic feet of water flow.
ing per minute. 6,00Ox624=375,0O ,0OO=the
pounds of water flowing per minute. The
fall is 10 feet; 10x375, ,000=3,750, ,00O=the
foot.pounds of the waterfall. Divide $780,
900 by 33,OOO and we have 113S as the
horse power of the fall.
The power of the steam engine is calcula-
ted by multiplying together the area of the
piston in inches, the mean pressure in pounds
per square inch, the length of the stroke in
feet and the number of strokes per minute :
and dividing by $4,000.
Water-wheels yield from 30 to 81 per cent
of the water. The actual power of a steam
engine is less than the indicated power, owing
to loss from friction the amount of this loss
varies with the arrangement Of the engine and
the perfection Of the workmanship.
