The Names OF the Months.
The Romans in the calendar of julius
Cesar, the principle of which we follow to-
day, began the year on March /, and the
months corresponded to this origin. Sep
tember was the seventh, October the eighth,
November the ninth and December the
tenth. When the beginning of the year
was changed to January the primitive
names Of the months were retained so that
September had become the ninth, October
the tenth, November the eleventh and De-
cember the twelfth. 1t is all simply absurd.
1t would not have been logical to change
the names as the Romans had done already
with seven months, giving them the names
of Mars, Aphrodite, Maia, Juno, julius
and Augustus to the first six, and those of
Janus and Februo, God of the dead, to the
last two.

objection to this engine can be named-its
odor
Assuming oil, weight for weight, to yield
twice the available heat of coal. it must be
as cheap at cents gallon to compete with
coal at S. ton. This comparison only
applies when steam power is generated on .
large scale and in the most economical way.
For five to, ten horse power an oil engine
will burn about pint of oil per horse
power per hour, so that when its fuel costs
10 cents gallon, the outlay is less than it
would be for small steam engines coal,
wasteful as the use of that coal must be. On
the farm, in the workshop, and on the
water. the oil engine is likely to be widely
adopted. LII,
Ono That RIMS on Air.
A new air engine, quite the best OF its
class, has recently been added to the cata-
logue of motors. 1t is evidently planned
on the best lines of the gas engine. Instead
of employing air at ordinary atmospheric
pressure, it congresses its charge to 45
pounds to the square inch. The same charge
is used indefinitely, and any escape is COM
pensated for by an sir pump. To give uni
formity of motion, the engine has two fur
naces and two sets of ofworking parts. Each
heating chamber is directly over one of the
fires. After the heated air has driven
piston it passes through mass of wire
screen cloth, to which part of its heat is de-
livered. 1t next enters chamber encircled
by water tubes, where it is thoroughly
cooled. A new series of operations begins
by the air returning through the wire cloth
on its way to be reheated in the chamber
above furnace.
In tests of a 20-horse power engine but
three pounds of coke per horse power per
hour were burned-a quantity about half as
much as a non-condensing steam engine of
the same capacity would require. For cir
culation around the cooling chambers 430
gallons of water per hour were called for.
In proportion to power, this motor is de-
cidedly bulkier than either the gas or oil
engine, and somewhat more so than steam
engine with its boiler. Its strong points
are its economy of fuel in supplying small
powers, its silence and safety.

pheres the use of this metal tube is con-
stantly extending.
In the type Of engine most common in
TINS country, the gases are expanding be-
hind the piston to do available work during
but one-fourth the total travel of the pis-
ton. During another fourth it is exerting q
notable part of the engines power in CON-
pressing the cylinders contents For the
remainder of the time the piston is first ex-
pelling the burnt gases after their work is
done, or drawing in a fresh charge of gas
and air for new explosion. Under these
circumstances the strain upon the crank shaft
is very irregular, and the engines motion
can only make very fair approach to even
ness through use of a fywheel much heavier
than is needed by q steam engine of equal
power. This lack of uniformity in motion
becomes palpable when g gas engine of the
ordinary American pattern is producing
the electric light-nearly twice every sec
ond the lamps seem to suffer partial eclipse.
Converting Gas Into Light.
Builders of gas engines are beginning to
obviate this difficulty in two ways, either BY
combining pair of cylinders and igniting
the charge alternately in each, or by explod-
ing charge on each side of single cylinder
at successive moments. Sometimes in ad-
dition to the fywheel directly attached to
the engine, a second fywheel is fastened to
the armature of the dynamo with excellent
effect
Strange as it may seem at first view, gas
used in an engine can yield more light in
arc lamps, or even in incandescent bulbs,
than it directly gives in argand burners;
this, although no gas engine rises to an efici-
ency exceeding Is per cent, and no dynamo
to more than 80 per cent. Why, then, is so
much light produceable after the value of
the gas has undergone these two costly trans
formations? Simply because the electric
light is accompanied by scarcely any heat,
and gas light by a great deal One can
easily hold an incandescent bulb in the

| like son.
ARRIVING at Washington, Porter pre-
sented me to the Secretary of the Navy. He
seemed to take an interest in me, and had
me sent to school in the country, promis-
| ing that when was 10 years old should be
made midshipman! But soon war with
England seemed inevitable. and Porter
thought active service would be the best
training school He got me appointed mid
shipman year earlier than had been de-
termined upon; at 9 years of age was q
United States naval officer, walking the
deck OF man of war with my sword by my
side.
my life on board ship was monotonous
until the war broke out Porter, after
cruising up and down the coast, deter
mined to go to the Pacific Ocean on a sort of
robbing commission to prey on English
commerce, although in case of disaster to
his ship there was not port into which he
could enter to make any needed repairs.
We cruised around in that great ocean, cap
turing English merchantmen until our
career was ended in the fight in Valparaiso
harbor."
Taking q Prize Into Port.
Then pausing moment he broke into q
merry laugh and said: sThere was one
thing which was very serious to me, over
which 1 have had many a hearty laugh
since. Porter had been gobbling up. En-
glish ships until he had feet at one time
of 13 vessels. One day he took an English
corvette, which proved to be slow sailer,
and so interfered with our movements that
he determined to send her back to Valpa-
raiso. Well, he ordered me to go on board
OF her with prize crew and to order the
English captain to take her to that port
forthwith. / shall never forget the look of
blank establishment of that British captain
when stepped over the vessels side and
drew up my men on deck. But at a
boys piping voice, which I strove In
vain to make some hoarse and stern,
his surprised look changed into one
of uncomfortable rage. He grew red as a
lobster in the face and began to curse and
swear as only British sailor can. 1t was
an insult, he said, to put him under the
orders of q Yankee baby, and he would be
hanged if he would obey me! I might sail
the nutshell into Valparaiso myself if I
wanted to; and growing more furious as he
swore, he at length declared he would go
down in his cabin and get his pistols and
defend himself from insult, and turned
away.
81 was at first cowed by the naughty,
fierce, overbearing manner of the man. I
was boy, only IL years old, and felt my
smallness in the presence of this profane
ruffian, who with one hand could send me
flying over the bulwarks into the sea. =
81 did not utter q word. But the next
moment 1 remembered was an American
officer, and this clustering fellow was an
enemy of my country, and recovering my
self, I shouted down after him just as he
was disappearing through the door of the

chemist, as long ago as 1864 In following
up purely scientific research, he discov-
cred that chemical combination is retarded
by the very heat it creates.
While it is true that the gas engine makes
a higher return on the heat capital invested
IN 1t than its competitor, the steam engine,
the latter has an overwhelming advantage.
1t draws upon the coal heap for its supplies
instead of the gas main, source, as a rule,
but one-tenth as costly. Where a small
power is wanted, or fairly large power is
in intermittent demand, the balance of the
economy is with the gas engine. For con-
slant power, exceeding say ten-horse, the
steam engine is cheaper.
The Engine That Uses Oil.
or engines especially devised to run with

adapted for any work demanding small
power, this engine is particularly well
suited for yachts and launches, because its
fuel is about twice as efficient as an equal
weight of coal In its original shape this
