HEATING BY STEAM.
One of the Most Interesting Discoveries
Made at Pompeli.


Made at Pompeii.
That steam heating is not new APP
pears from remarks made by Mr.. George
III. Babcock before the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers some time ago.
Mr.. Babcock cited the fact that when
at Pompeii he found that the old Roman
baths there were heated by steam, and
heated in better and more scientific
manner than is practiced at the present
time. The walls were double, and the
steam, of course not above atmospheric
pressure, was carried up through these
walls all around the room. The walls
were thus heated to temperature ap-
proXimating to that Of the steam, and
the occupants of the rooms were ex-
posed to radiation from all directions.
This, Mr.. Babcock held, is the true
theory of heating, and the system OF
steam heating by indirect radiation, or
heating the enveloping air only, is un-
scientific, expensive and uncomfortable.
1t is of interest to add here that tho
late Joseph Harrison, Jr., of Philadel-
phia, in delivering Il lecture before the
Franklin Institute several years ago,
said that he had seen in the museum at
Naples boiler substantially of the
same construction as the modern, ver-
tical, tubular boiler. This boiler was
found at Pompeii, and was made of cop
per.-Engineering and Building Record.

A Fast EIeetrleal yessel.

Leonide Apostoloff, a Cossack engi-
neer, is ut work on new boat, which he
says will make eighty knots an hour on
the surfdce of the sea, and 100 knots at
full speed under water His idea is to
use the motive power of the screw to
the fullest extent. The boat is shaped
like a spindle, and consists of an inner
and outer she'll, the inner one revolving
on journals fitted at each end of hori-
xontal shaft that runs through the axis
of spindle. Beginning at point near
the bow and winding twice around the
outer shell is blade perpendicular to
the axis of the spindle, very much like
the thread Of a screw. AS the outer
shell revolyes this screw thread will
Worm the craft through the water. The
screw will be turned by an electric
motor with storage system, --Roston

SIZES OF FOOTWEAR.
How Shoes Are Measured-The Difference
In "Slzes."

How Shoes Are Measured-The Difference
| In "Slzes."
Very few shoe wearers probably know
that size in shoes is only one-third of
an inch in length. This doesn't seem
much, and yet to many women it is a
momentous affair. Two inches in bust
or waist measurement are not as appar-
ent as one-third of an inch in the foot,
for the latter it is direct or lineal in
crease. The distaste for increasing the
size of our shoes becomes more pro-
nounced as we ascend the scale of the
size-stick. A woman who has habitually
worn No. 3 shoe, when necessity de-
mands, can don 80 without great
sacrifice; she still retains the integral
number 3, which in some measure COM
pensates her for the added fraction; but
new integer, No. 4, is distasteful by
reason of its formidable sound. If shoes,
like hats, could be graded by eighths of
an inch, she could take refuge in 31Ss
shoe and yet be comparatively happy
From No. AZ to No. is a still greater
trial to feminine nerves, and in the
realm of 6s-well, few women speak OF
the size to any one else but the dealer.
The size-stick, except for custom work,
is not often brought out in the retail
shoe store. 1t Is a dangerous thing in
the hands of tyro salesman, and would
defeat many sale. With the expert
salesman 1T can be made powerful
little ally in selling shoes to credulous
folk. He can skillfully place the size
stick whore 1t will be mightier than
either pen, sword OF tongue in confuting
prejudice and bringing peace of mind

him in queer way, but he evidently did
not realize what he had said in his en-
barrassment."
The door-bell rang at q ministers
house one evening. He answered the
call and was greeted by young couple
standing before the door. The young
man asked: "Does the Baptist pasture
live here?" The clergyman did not en-
barrass the young man by asking him
"if he wished to turn his young lady out
to grass" but politely responded "Yes,"
married them and sent them on their
way rejoicing
A Univeralist minister married a
couple in the vestry of his church. On
being asked his fee he replied: 81 never
make any charge" and was going to say
that he left it to the circumstances and
generosity of the groom to decide. But
when he got as far as 81 never make
any charge" the grateful groom broke
in, "You are very kind, sir; am very
much obliged to you; good morning"
Said Baptist pastor to the writer:
Once q couple ''stood up" with two
friends-young man and maiden--and,

man said that the right girl did mot

One pastor replied to the request for
soms incident from his experience that
he did not call to mind any thing unique
or peculiar, but, he said, as to fees, they
are usually SO small in this district that
to publish them would encourage hasty
marriages and lower the scale OF remu-
neration for pastors whose wives rely on
the fees for their pin money.

In his charge he laid down the law as
follows: No employer is bound to fur
nish written character. unless he
pleases SO to do; il he does please, he
must tell the truth. No action will lie
against an employer for furnishing bad
character, il it is founded on truth;
privilege will protect him even though
he assigns bad character unfairly to a
servant, provided he honestly believes
he is stating the truth.
The decision is righteous one.
Masters and mistresses will now feel at
liberty to give plain facts about former
employees and much disappointment and
pickering will be avoided. The servant
who has proved worthy OF an unsatis-

their value when l say that we depend very
largely for our real protection in this coun-
try upon the vigilance of the press. While
they go beyond bounds often, it is almost
impossible in this country, as long as the
press is not muzzled, for corruption to hold
sway for any great length of time. There
are those who think that everything is GO
ing to pieces; that this nation is becoming
as corrupt as all the nations of the earth,
and they affect to think so because
they see SO many bad things in the

HERE and there republican journal
is found that is honest enough to sound
warning cry against wickedly extrava-
CANT pension laws. One such news
paper is the Buffalo Express, which
says:
ut is a bold thing to tell the truth
about pensions, and most men fear to be
accused of unpatriotic or selfish motives
IN objecting to the supposed demands of
old soldiers. But the conference pen
sion bill is not born Of patriotism and
justice, nor is it based upon principles of
good government. The republican
party, it is urged, stands pledged to dc
justice to the soldier. DO pension ap-
preparations Of nearly slOO,OOO,OOO year
go for naught? Must s6O,OoOOOO more
be given to prove that the republican
party is the soldiers friend? That par
ty has pledged itself to be just, and it
has magnificently redeemed it's pledge.
When it becomes recklessly extravagant,
it forfeits its duty to the American peo-
pie. A deficit of sGO,OOO,OOO can never
be explained or extenuated. Right OF
wrong, it invites disastrous rebuke at
the polls"
Col. Quay doubtless will see that the
Express is promptly disciplined.
