Slafts NIatIe Hollow.

4 point not generally known in
connection with the machinery of
modern steamships is that all the
shafting is hollow. After the shafts
have been gorged solid. a core, some
times six or eight inches in diameter,
is bored out from the center. leaving
safe amount of metal in anhular
form for the work required. The
reason for this is that a hollow shaft
is stronger as well lighter than a
solid one, and also that the core Of a
solid shaft often emtodies impurities
and incipient cracks which may radi-
ate to the surface after lorg use and
cause disaster. The same idea OF
following out is carried through the
entire system, even the crank pins
being bored. SO extensive is it that
if to-day 20,000-horse power engine
were built on the old solid ideas for
ship like the Paris, she would very
promptly sink under the load. The
rule is now for to 10 horse power to
each ton Of machinery, including
boilers and all appurtenances.

seventy-nine years has peeped over
the fortitlcation Of the castle OF
Santa Cruz in the Azores. The gun
was originally part of the ornament
of the French battleship Hoche,
which was captured by British
squadron in 1898. John B. MURRAY,
a New Yorker, bought "Long Tom"
with other guns and sold them to the
United States Government. but
Long Tom" wasrej jected on account of
an indention near its muzzle, caused
by solid shot. Mr.. Murray bored
the dent out and placed it on a yes

privateers in behalf Of Hayti.
When the United States got into
trouble with England in 1912, "Tom"
was placed amidShips on the brigan-

them, where the gun did terrible
work. The British lost 300 dead and

ten. The British fleet was delayed
so long at Fayal that it failed to
reach Louisiana. and Gen. Jackson
was able to win his famous victory.

Not Looking for a Ladle.

Not many years ago, before the
boom" struck Southern California,
Mr.. L, an old New Yorker, had
a large ranch near Los Angeles. He
was fond of good company and a good
dinner, and frequently entertained
house parties at the comfortable old
fashioned Mexican hacienda. Among
others who made stay with one OF
the New York parties was Miss
M. Although woman Of sun
certain age" she retained much
charm of manner, and her quick wit
was respected by everyone who had
come in contact with it. Mr.. l.
was a jolly bachelor OF perhaps &C
summers, who had seen much Of the
world and had magnetic personality.
He was a man of enormous LropOr-
tions; some of them, no doubt, en-
couraged to their growth through his
fondness for good things to eat and
good wines to cheer the bachelor.
The party was at dinner at the
ranch one day. The host, the bache-
Ter, sat at one end of the table and
Miss M was on his left He had
been chatting with her for some time
when she asked for a spoon. Mr..
L arose at this and, bowling in
his most suaye and polite way, said:
"My dear Miss L, won't you
take me?"
"Mr. L" retorted the lady, i
did not ask for a ladle. New York

Early Tobacco Culture.

Tobacco was noted by Columbus on
his very first voyage. 1t was first cul-
tiyated by John Rolfe in 1912, and as
early as 1919 lot of 10000 pounds
was shipped to England. In 1892 a
tobacco factory was started on the
Rappahannock River, and about 1869
the first south of the James River
was built in Mecklenburg County.
In l745 the exports from Virginia
amounted to 42,S4l hOgsheads of
about 1000 pounds each, and in
creased till 1853, after which there
was decline until after the revolu-
tion. 1t is now grown in most Of
the Southern States, with Kentucky

What has been called by Englis
dreSsmakers the Elizabethan petit

who eschews the hoop and despises
the crinoline but yet aspires to fash

difficulty, which will become more
apparent as the season advances of
lining the lighter crepons, silks, and
challieS with horSehar and stiffening.

gowns. When the skirt has silk

ering the mails are extremely primi-
tive. Take, for instance, the mail
route in the northern peninsula of
Michigan. The mails are carried on
sled drawn by dogs. There are
several women mail carriers, one of
whom is plucky Miss Malott, who
carries the mail daily sixteen miles
in Northern Washington. She rides
tough little mustang, and in all of
her trips she has never met with an
accident. Her father was the first

The SUN and the Stars.

The sun is star, and the stars are
suns. This fact has been a familiar
one to astronomers for many years.
That the stars shine by their own in
herent light and not by light reflect
ed from another body, like the planets
OF the solar system, may be easily
proved.
That many Of them at least are
very similar to our own sun is clearly
shown by several considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancy,
compared with their small apparent
diameter, a diameter so small that
the highest powers of the largest
telescope fail to show them as any.
thing but mere points of light with
out measurable magnitude. Second,
their vast distance from the earth, a
distance So great that the diameter
of the earth's orbit dwindles almost
to point in comparison. This ac-
counts satisfactorially for the first
fact. Third, the Spectroscope- that
unerring instrument Of modern re-
search-shows that the light emitted
by many of them is very similar to
that radiated by the sun.
Their chemical and physical con-
stitution is, therefore, probably an
alogous to our central luminary. The
red stars certainly show spectra diff
fering considerably from the solar
spectrum, but these objects are COM
paratiyely rare, and may, perhaps, lie
considered as forming exceptions TO
the general rule.
