Exploded Traditions at Old Yale.

Both South college and the Athenaum
have their now blasted traditions. AS
to the former, it has been alleged in New
Haven-and at least one prominent ar
cheologist has Endorsed the story-that
about the time the college was built
there was mysterious hiatus of grave
stones in the old cemetery on the New
Haven green. The tradition then averred
that these stones had been built into the
freplaces of South college, where they
would be found when the structure was
pulled down. Here was the fine hint for
a college ghost story, based on spectral
apparition Of the affronted owner of one
Of the stones, but, if ever penned, it is
outlawed now by the discovery that
every fireplace in Old South was of sim
pie brick.
Then, again, President Stiles diary
notes the confession of student that he
had stolen the college Bible, dropped it
between the courses of mason work dur
ing the building of the Athen@um 1869,
and that there the sacred volume had
been bricked up-a myth proved so now
by the fall of the AthenBum's walls
without the filched Bibles temperance.

How Air Resists a Locomotive.

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the French
government show that the resistance Of
the atmosphere to the motion of high
speed train often amounts to half the to-
tai resistance which the locomotive must
overcome. Two engines, of which the
resistance was measured repeatedly and
found to be 10 pounds per ton at 81 miles
per hour, were coupled together and
again tried. In the second trial the re-
sistance fell to IA pounds per ton, the
second engine being shielded from at
mospheric resistance by the first. It
strikes me that there is an idea for some
inventor half unmasked in this item

think that one of the saddest Incl
dents Of the war which I witnessed was
after the battle Of Gettysburg. Off on
the outskirts, seated on the ground with
his back to tree, was dead soldier.
His eyes were riveted on some object
held tightly clasped in his hands. AS we
drew nearer we saw that it was an am
brotype of two small children. Man
though I was, hardened through those
long years to carnage and bloodshed. the
sight of that man who looked on his
children for the last time in this world,
who, away of in u secluded spot, had
rested himself against a tree that he
might feast his eyes on his little loves,
brought tears to my eyes which could
not restrain had wanted. There were
six of us in the crowd, and we all found
great Jumps gathering in our threats and
mist coming before our eyes which al
most blinded us.
We stood looking at him for some
time. was thinking of the wife and
baby had left at home and wondering
how soon, in the mercy of God, she
would be left a widow and my baby boy
fatherless. We looked at each other and
instinctively seemed to understand one
another's thoughts. Not a word was
spoken, but we dug grave and laid the
poor fellow to rest with his children's
picture clasped over his heart. Over his
grave on the tree against which he was
sitting I inscribed the words: ''Some.

The Order Pleased tho Cook.

The following story is told on mis-
sionary of the China inland mission, a
bachelor keeping house for himself ia the
southern part Of China: One morning,
in ordering his dinner, he wished to tell
his cook to buy him chicken. Instead
of saying .'ye' for chicken he aspirated
the word, saying, BUY me Chez
His cook thought that was an eminently
proper command and went about his
marketing in high good humor. At noon
the missionary found no chicken cooked
in fact, no dinner at all, for his cook had
not returned. About dark the man
came back, saying: ''This was not
good day for buying wives, and I have
been all day looking for one, but at last
found one for you. She is rather old and
not pretty, but you can have her cheap.
Ihave promised $40 for her. New York

The Last English Rabbit.

The game of the world is decreasing,
and as new lands are opened to civilian
ton SO it will get less and less. In the
struggle for existence. there will be no
room for the sportsman. His require
ments will grow more modest as time
advances, but they will not be satisfied.
The last British wolf was killed in Suth-
erlandshire about the year 100 by man
named Poison. Who will be handed
down to posterity as the slayer of the last
British rabbit? What a pathetic picture
might be drawn of the last cock pleas
ant! Perhaps some Macaulay of the far
distant future may astonish his readers
by his account of what went on in the
rural districts of Great Britain in the
nineteenth century.
He would relate how, owing to the
scantiness Of the population, men used to
shoot cartridges and pheasants by the
thousand or ground then and for gener-
ations past the sites of immense towns;
telling how the great garden of England,
then mapped out into small tenements,
each laboriously and infinitely cult
waited, with no waste Of wood or hedge
row, used in those far away years to be
furiously ridden over by hundreds Of
horsemen in pursuit Of an animal long
since extinct in the land and only known
to the curious in old books of natural
history -Macnillan's Magazine.

tits astonishing what immense sums
ragpickers receive in the course Of the
day. The combings of women's hair sell
at so cents a pound. This means $500 to

they are called, are another source Of
profit. These are the scraps Of tailors

The old bones are another source Of

a Famous steamboa Race.


The famous race between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray occurred
in 1859. Prior to this race the Ocean
Spray had splendid records. The race
was from St. Louis to Keokuk. The
early part of the race was very close,
and the excitement was intense. When
nearing Bissell's point, the Ocean Spray
found the Hannibal City passing her.
The mate on the Ocean Spray, one Davis,
becoming desperate, ordered the head Of
barrel of turpentine to be knocked in.
His men were then ordered to dip the
wood in this turpentine before putting
it in the furnace, the object being to
quickly increase the steam pressure.
The Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only 100 pounds of steam, but Davis
thought that by quitting another niger
on the safety valve he could run the
pressure up to 200 pounds and distance
his rival. In carrying the dripping wood
to the furnace the track became satu-
rated with turpentine, which caught fire
from the open furnace. The flames quick
ly reached the barrel. An attempt was
made to throw the barrel overheard, but
it exploded, and the burning oil being
scattered all around the boat was soon a
mass of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the Han
nibal City. He was brave and gener-
GUS man, and in this instance these two
qualities made his name famous. Not.
withstanding the imminent danger, he
ran his boat alongside the burning one
and rescued every person on board. Da.
Wis, the mate of the burned boat, was
afterward convicted and sent to the peni-
tertiary for such gross violation of the
rules of safety. He was later pardoned.

Why BOOKS ARE CHEAP.
"A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour. 5s#

"A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour.
There are various rumors and tales
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma
chinery over on the west side of the city
in a certain monstrous bookmaking es-
tablishment.
The novel machine" is a large web
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed on, but arranged to take curved
electrotypes of each page Of book in
stead of 9 single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders, on
each of which IA pages may be screwed,
and as the long strip Of paper goes
through, first one side is printed and then
the other, making it possible to print 2s9
pages at every revolution. The strip Of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together in the shape of a small
volume, with the edges all trimmed. Ev-
cry time the great cylinder goes round
novel is printed, folded and trimmed, and
5000 of these are turned out every hour,
while, if it were necessary, 1000 or 5000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to little machine that looks
like sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each.
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine, where they are put
side to side in long feeding trough. At
the end Of this is little compartment
large enough to take book, carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are series of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along each one re-
ceives book. AS the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
! against its back, smearing it with glue
A little further along there is pile of
covers that comes up at just the right
moment, leaving cover sticking to the
gluey back Of the book.
In this way so books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand of these paper covered novels
