The Waste OF Steam Power

In paper recently road before one ol
the English associations of engineers the
writer asserted that, according to the
present methods of dealing with the
motive power OF the stoam engine, only
some 20 per cont. was made available,
80 per cent, of the energy developed in
the furnace being thrown away, and it is
quito common to realize no greater
efficiency than about per cont, on the
gross or potential energy of tho fuel.
In large factories that admit OF the power
being concentrated in one or two great
machines, condemnation can be taken
advantage of, and with water heaters
and other appliances double the above
figure can be realized; but in the best
engines, with all latest improvements
and Celebrations, not more than l2t per
cent. has ever been realized, nor is it
possible to realize moro and even 124 per
cent. can only be obtained by the finest
of wire drawings and the bost of coal.

MRS. CLEVELAND'S PONIES.
Tho Touching Letter Received by TIL.
President from n SOutherner

Tho Touching Letter Received by the
President from Southerner.
(From the Philadelphia North AmcricanD
The President has 80 far relented from
his original determination as to buy for
his wife pretty phaeton, with seat
behind for the groom, and a pair of
small brown horses for her exclusive use,
and thereby hangs tale. A man in
Richmond wrote a pathetic letter to the
President not long ago, which, by some
inadvertence on tho part of the wise
"private secretary" fell into his own
hands. In it the man went on to say
that he had married a young and boauti-
ful girl three months before, and had
bought for her, with many fond antici-
pations, pair of horses. for which he
had searched the South over, and she
drove them for few short weeks, and
then, on returning from O drive one
afternoon, died suddenly in his arms
from heart disease, He could not bear
to see these reminders of happy past
any more, and Mrs. Cleveland was the
only woman into whose hands he was
willing to have them fall He concluded
by saying that he was too poor to give
them to her, but he wanted her to have
these treasures of his pretty, dead wife
The President, without having seen
the horses at all, telegraphed to have
them sent on, and in q letter following
lnolosed check for them. They came,
saw and conquered at once, as they are
pretty, gentle little animals, and smiling
peace relgns everywhere.

RAINBOW SUPEKSTIrIONs
curious beiiefs Entertained by Various
People Concerning the Beauteous Arch.

People Concerning the Beauteous Arch.
G'rom the Chicago Herald)
The rainbow is frequently credited
with great pow~r for good or evil. 1t is
wide spread belief that it hides great
riches, or brings fortune or good luck
with 1T. In SWabia it is said to rest on
bowls of gold; in Hungary that cups of
silver will be found where it touches the
earth or water, and the finder will divine
the future. 1t is quite likely that O shoe
cast over it will fall on the other side
| filled with gold, as it is believed in
Berne and among Swabian peasants.
The difficulty is to get it over. In
Carinthia it Is hat. Czech tradition
says that If iron or other base metal be
cast into the rainbow it will turn to gold,
and similar things are recorded of it in
the Iyrol. In many parts of Germany
n golden Key, or treasure, is said to be
1ound where the bow touches the earth;
IN Portugal silver hen, and in modern
Greece curious byzantine coin, called
Constantine coin. Any one finding
this will be endowed with marvellous
power. In Norway it is said that a cup
and spoon, with kind of Cruel, will
be found where the bow rests. 1t is also
believed to bestow health.
Among the Let's if you can reach the
bow and touch it you will have the heal
ing power. The water found beneath
the arch will, it is believed, cure those
afflicted with demoniacy. Old women
keep this water in trenches dug in tho
ground or in hollow tree, but not in
the house, where it will lose it's force or
bring some disaster to the household.
1t Is also said that focks should not be
pastlred whore the bow rests, or they
will fall sick. German peasants say the
touch of tho bow will render plants odor-
ant. On the other hand, In some parts
OF France the rainbow is said to iniure
plants on which it rests, to dry up vines
and to ruin the harvest In bohemia.
also, it withers up the herbage, say the
peasants. In Ukraine you must not put
out your tongue at the rainbow or it will
dry up.
In Hungary thoro is Villa or fairy
sitting on tho water where the rainbow
touches it, and who's oever she sees first
will die. Esthonians say the bow is but
tho scytho used by the thunder to chase
wicked souls. In Austro- Hungary the
sick are not allowed to lie stretched at
full longth when the first bow of spring
appears, for it is thought they would die
if permitted to do so. Many ordinary
tasks must not then be performed for
lear OF evil consequences.
