In paper recently read before the Insti-
tute of Marine Engineers at Stratford, En-
| gland, G. w. Manual, Superintendent En-
gineer of the Pacific and Oriental Company,
gave some interesting and valuable results
of his experience in the service of that COM
pany. He says that among certain duties
of the engine builder, which have hitherto
been treated too lightly is notably that of
securing bearing surface. In present prac-
tice the oil intended for fabrication may be
squeezed out, and hot bearings inevitably
caused by the metal surfaces being brought
into too close contact. When bearings had
pressure of 200 pounds per square inch it
has been fonnd that not more than 120
pounds per square inch should be exerted
to keep them cool (this varies, according to
the material of which the bearing is COM
posed), without having to use seawater
and prevent them being ground down,
and thus getting out of line. 1t
has happened that bearing in a new
steamer, in spite of many gallons of oil
wasted on it, has worn down one-eighth of
an inch in a voyage of only 5000 miles
from insuffciency of bearing surface. The
engine builder, as well as the shipowner,
has been chary. of increasing the surface by
lengthening the bearings; for to do this
means increase of space taken up fore and
aft the vessel, besides additional weight of
engine. This inducement, however. is now
more carefully considered, as it has been
found more economical to give larger bear
ing surfaces than to have steamers lying in
port reftting a crank shaft, along with
the incidental bills for salvage and repairs,
and the risk of losing the steamer alto
gether. Proportioning the bearings to the
weights and strains they have to carry has
also been an improvement.
Another improvement that has materially
added to the duration of life of crank shafts
is the use of white bearing metal. such as
Parsons white brass, on which the shafts
run smoothly with less friction and ten
dency to heat. Large and powerful steam
ers can be driven full speed from London to
Australia and back without having any
water on tine bearings, and using oil of
what is considered a moderate price. The
Introduction of the triple-expansion engine,
with the three cranks, gave better balance
to the shaft, and. the forces acting in the
path of the crank pin, being better divided,
cause more regular motion on the shaft, and |
so to the propeller. This is specially notice |
able in screw steamers, and is taken advan- |
tage of by placing tine cabins further ait, |
nearer the propeller, the stern having but |
little vibration; the dull and heavy surging
sound, due to unequal motions of the shaft |
in the two-crank engines, is exchanged for a
more regular sound of less volume, and the
power formerly wasted in vibrating the
stern is utilized in propelling the vessel.

Photographic Telescopes.

An English astronomical journal directs
attention to the excellent astronomical work
that is being done in this country, particu-
larry through the agency of photography,
and calls upon British astronomers to bestir
themselves. The recent gift of Miss G. w.
Bruce, of New York, of $50, 900 to be ap-
piled "to the construction of a Photographic
telescope having an objective of about "a
inches aperture, with focal length of
about II feet, and of the character described
by the director of the astronomical observa-
tory of Harvard College Ito which the gift
is presented) in his circular of November
last; also to secure its use under favorable
climatic conditions in such way as in his
judgment will best advance astronomical
science" will materially strengthen the
hands Of American astronomers. Stars too
faint to be detected with any other instru.
ment may be photographed with the "a inch
lens, and any person could thus obtain at a
omparatively small cost q map of a
portion of the sky showing stars too
faint for him to observe in any other way.
Many investigations may be carried on by
means of these plates; for instance, a search
for double stars, for nebulae, for asteroids,
for variable stars by comparison of plates of
the same region taken on different nights,
for stars having large proper motion wheu
we have the plates repeated after consid-
erable interval of time. In all these cases
the plate furnishes an sccurate measure of
the object discovered. In some cases it is
estimated that 10000 or $4,000 stars have
been photographed on a single plate. Cali
fornia now has the largest and p.ost power
full astronomical telescope in the world, ano
this action gives it also the largest telescope
to be used for solely Photographic purposes.

thought of, and it was supposed to be harm
less in both. Some 25 years after Owens
discovery, that is in 1860, Zenker proved
that the trichine, instead of being harmless,
were the cause of one of the most serious
diseases that humanity is subject to.
A trichina is minute worm-like animal,
almost invisible to the naked eye. 1t is
about one-thirtieth of an inch in length, has
a distinct head, mouth. intestinal canal and
other organs. An enormously enlarged
view of the animal is given in one of the
cuts, the other cut representing the trichina
as it exists in its cyst, or nest, in the mus
cular tissue.
1t is now generally accepted the world
over that the trichin@ always find their way
into the human system by way of infested
pork in the form Of ham, sausage, fresh
pork, bacon, etc. The little parasite is
coiled up in sort of shell in the muscle of
a certain proportion of hogs. In them it
produces no disturbance. The little animal
may lay there quiescent for a long period,
but when the hog is killed and eaten and
the parasites gain entrance into the human
stomach, then they begin to take on

The young trichina start to migrate across
the country instead of following the beaten
highway. They bore their way through the
wall of the bowel, through the fat, through
anything that comes in their way, till they
reach the muscles. Many, perhaps most, of
the migrating parasites, by boring through
the wall of one of the larger blood vessels,
reach the blood current and are washed
along until they reach the muscular tissues,
where they stop. The average trichina is
somewhat of an aristocrat, and is particular
about where he takes up his residence. He

Features of Southern Society

The Southern Society is prosper
lug in an extraoi binary degree
since it set up housekeeping. 1t is
cluu ia verything 5ut name, and
| its house is one Of the most spacious
and comfortable club houses in
town. The idea of having the res
taurant aerved from the Hoffman
House kitchen seems to have bean
abandoned for the present, and the
society rejoiees in a very good cook
OF Its own. The out-of-.own mem
ship, which is the INST profitable,
since it pays ddes aud does not
wear ut furniture, has reached 100
and is expected to increase within
short time 10 1900. AThe So
ciety's house is still managed under
the temporary house rules prepared
for the opening days during the
recent Centennial Celebration.
Their rules seem to have been con-
ceived in somewhat strait-laced
spirit, and as consequence the
most restrictive are little regarded.
The tone of the society is unmis-
takAbly Southern. No msn who
fears hearty good good fellowship
and open handed hospitality should
thrust his nose inside the house.

The revival which was being con
ductel at this place by Rev. Nathan
Bachman, of Knoxville, closed las;
Tuesday nigh: after continuing
ten days. We can truly say this
was a revival, and hope there has
been much real and lasting good
done to the church. May the
good work go on in our midst.
A ladies' prayer meeting has
been organized here and will be
held Tuesday afternoon Of each
week at the manse; the hour being
$3.50 o'clock. There will also be a
general prayer meeting on Thurs
day afternoon at tie church; the
hour being the same. We should
attend these meetings as they are
usually very interesting anu in
struciive.
Our church has been newly pre-
pared and pews painted or rsther
primed ready to paint. The paper
adds very much TO the appearances
OF the church, but the paint does
not add very much to the comfort
of the pews as yet.

Some time ago it was announced that
the Japanese government was open
to proposals for the establishment of a
state religion. Whether it has suited
itself-and its subjects-we have not

with the same object have been taken
at Milan. A committee of philoso-

The young plants, from seei usu
ally sown il April or May, require
to be t,ans ,.lanted when two or
three inches high, giving them
more room than they had in the
seed bed; and some prefer a sec

to the trenches; but when time and
labor re limited, and especially il
sufficient space was given at the
fret -ransplanling, this may be
omitted.
Planting in trenches is to BE
preferred, but these do not need to
be foot deep as was the custom
number of years ago. Six inches
is sufficient, and the earth dug out
should be laid along the side, To be
used in earthing up the plants when

Before planting, the bottom OF

leaves MAJ be shortened or removed

to be set six or eight inches apart
and about half an inch deeper than
they stood before.

keep down the weeds with the hoe
