ThImE MOVERS.
Their Importance as Substitutes for
UniHtcIlisent Manual Labor.

lhlhtclllsent Manual Labor.
Tho introduction OF prime movers rs a
mere substitute for unintelligeut manual
labor is IN itself n great aid to civilization
and TO the raising OF humanity - render
ing IL very difficult, II not impossible, for
= Lunian being 10 obtain livelihood by
uninJelligcnt work-the work OF the horse
in [ ne mill or the turlispiu
But there are prime movers and prime
rnovers-thOse Of small dimensions and
employed for purposes where animal
power or human power might be substi-
tuted, and those which attain ends that
by no conceivable possibility could be
attained ut all by the exertion of mus
cular power.
Compare a galley, a vessel propelled by
oars, with the modern Atlantic liner; and
first 1t us assume that prime movers are
non existent and that this vessel IS to be
propelled galley fashion.
Take her length as some GO0ft, and
assume that place be found for as many
az 400 oars on each side, each oar worked
by three men, or :, 900 men; and allow
that six men under these conditions could
develop work equal TO one horsepower;
we should have 400 horsepower Double
the number of men and we should have
500 horse power, with 4 500 men at work
and at least the same number in reserve,
If the journey is to be carried on continu-
ously.
Contrast the puny result thus obtained
with the IL, 500 horse power given forth
by n large prime mover of the present
day, such 4 power requiring, on the above
mode of calculation, IL, coo men at work
and ll'oO0 in reserve; and these to be
carried in a vessel G00ij. in length. Even
If it We're possible TO irry this number of
men in such Al vessel, by no conceivable
means could their power be util zed SO as
TO impaTt TO it a speed Of 90 knots.
This illustrates how priniemover may
not o;-ly be mere substitute for mus
culsr work, but may sIord the means of
attaining an end that could not by any
possibility be attained by muscular exer-
ton, no matter what money was
expended or what gaIl-y-slave suffering
was inflicted.
Take again the case OF n railway loco
motive. From 400 to COO horsepower
developed in an implement. which, even
including its tender, does not occupy an
area OF more than so square yards, and
draws rs ~ co miles an hour. Here a tain
the r-iale mover succeeds in doing that
which 10 expenditure OF money or of life
could enable Us TO obtain from muscular
efIort
To what,and to whom, are these meritor-
ions prime movers due? / answer to the
application OF sciencc-and TO the labors
OF The civil engineer, using that term in
its f,Ilt aud proper sense as en- mbraciny all
engineering other than niIitary.-Sir
Frederick Braniwell.

miniature Paintings on Ivorv,

The taste for miniature paintings on
ivory, an expensive and fashionable one.
has portraits rs its subjects.
But the collection need not be one of
portraits only. Celebrated French pic
lures are copied ON ivory by modern ar
fists, each containing two or more fig
ures, and n axe n pleasing variety. These
are set in sender frames OF ivory, carved
and gi!dcd in the rococo style. and are
then laid nat on a square or oval piece OF
velvet.
Some idea Of the cost of such luxuries
may be imagined when the ivory frame
alone costs S6O a painting mounted in
this way cannot cost less than 5000. while
single portrait, CT medium size, can be
hsu ior very much less. sszs-,.-.-s----.---.-

Destruction of Authors. Manuscript.

By what right does an editor destroy a con-
tributors manuscript which he will neither
use nor returns Is an authors manuscript
property or not! We think it is property,
and not only believe that the courts would so
decide, but that the next legislature will
make it a criminal offense to destroy manu-
script submitted punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment. The time has come for news
paper men and authors to go to the fountain
head of law and secure the passage of such
statutes as will afford them equal protection
with the publishers. The contributor is now
regarded as a mere machine to be used or not
| according as these lordly autocrats of the
press desire. The editor and the publisher
seem to go on the idea that because they re-
ceive a large amount of manuscript they are
not bound to care for it, whereas that very
fact gives them the widest range or selection
and enables them to produce the very best
species of periodical
Writers are naturally afraid to object to
the sigh handed destruction of their manu-,
script, fearing to give offense to the editor
and deprive themselves of a chance for fu
ture publication Few Of them keep copie.
of their work. and it requires greater exer
ton to reproduce it than did the first writing
1t requires the same amount Of mechanical
execution to make copies as it does to maxi
the originals. 1t is now proposed to secur'
the passage Of law requiring editors anc
publishers to hold unavailable manuscript
thirty days before destruction, in order K
allow the author 10 send stamps for it OF cal
in person.-The Journalist.

Men often make pretense Of enjoying them
selves when they don't, but the thiunest and
most transparent of all is when they crowd
into smoking car to enjoy % a smoke. We
doubt about any man, however accustomed
he may be to the fumes Of tobacco deriving
pleasure from pulling at cigar in a crowded
car in which the smoke is so thick that over
coats are superfluous on cold day, but what
shall We say of men to whom tobacco is al
most stranger ordinarily, who strike for
the smoking car as soon as they board q
train, and puff away at poor cigars until all
is bluei And they pretend that they like it,
too. They wink and blink at each other
through the dense haze, which almost
strangles them, and cough like the con-
sumptive ward of a hospital Nevertheless,
they smoke their cigars down very low, as if
resolved not to lose one iota Of enjoyment,
and when one is gone they Immediately Light
another. When they emerge they look as if
they had been sleeping in smokehouse Oh,
you masculine railers at the follies of women,
all her sacrifices at the shrine of fashion are
the dictates of wisdom compared TO your alb
surd pretense Of enjoyment in smoking

Getting away from the theatre, particu-
larly if there are ladies in the party, is al
most as bad as forcing an entrance. The
stranger, who has already been impressed
with the idea that London consists almost en-
tirely OF cabs, trusts implicitly in the belief
that be will be able to get one as soon as the
theatre is over. Not So The cabs are kept
az distance of two blocks from the entrance
Of the theatre, and only private carriages and
those that have been specially retained by
numbered checks are lowed TO come to the
door The only thing chat the hapless Amer
lean can do is to tramp two blocks through
the rain-it always rains in London-jump
into hanson, and fight his way to the door
OF the theatre. This, owing TO the crush of
vehicles and the general confusion. is tedious.
The chances are about seven to three that Il
policeman will order hanson away even
when it has arrived. But if he does not, the
American jumps out, loads the hanson with
es many of the party as possible, and returns
to the siush and rain to repeat the operation.
The toffs have way of their own, however.
They go TO the porter Of a theatre, bride him
and he gives you number Then be scurries
down to the mud himself and gets YOU a
hanson that will answer to the number YOU
hold, and in that way good deal of trouble
is avoided. But it is a trick that is not gen
