Tho AntiouItv Of the pump,

The development Of the modern steam
pumping engine forms one of the most i'm.
portant features of progress in the field Of
mechanics, the details Of which are out
lined in an entertaining manner by Mr..
William NJ. Barr. According to this writer,
however, the ancients were not without a
great deal of ingenuity in devising methods
for the raising of water, and it is of interest
to study some Of these methods as intro
ducing principles still in use in the con-
struction of pumping machinery.
Machines for raising water may be said
to be as old as civilization itself, and their
invention extends so far beyond written
history that no one can say when the art
of lifting and distributing water began.
Egypt, the land of unfathomable antiqui-
ty, the Oldest civilization of the orient,
noted not only for her magniicence and
power, but for knowledge, wisdom and en-
gineering skill, understood and made prac-
teal use of such important hydraulic de
vices as the siphon and the syringe, the lat
ter being a remarkable invention and the
real parent of the modern pump. Whether
or not syringes were ever fitted with inlet
and outlet valves, thus making the single
action pump, is not known. But bellows
consisting of a leather bag set in frame
and worked by the feet the operator stand
ing with one foot on each bag, expellinp
the inclosed air, the exhausted bag being
then lifted by a string to refill it with air
implies the use of a valve opening inward
and it is difficult to conceive of a continu
Gus operation without one.-Engineerinl

by no means a small item. They frequently
amount to more at the end OF the year than
would keep many family. After a weeks

How much there is in association The
workmen were tearing up the carpets in
the big courtroom for the regular summer
cleaning. The table upon which the law
yers had spread their papers-papers that
were to do much in deciding the fate of
human life-was tilted up on end in one
corner of the room. The end whereon had
rested the murdered mans garments, all
stained with blood and gashed, was toward
the floor. The chairs IN which the II men
had sat and listened to the story that was
to result in either life or death for one hui
man being were piled and strewn about
The one from which the weeping mother
had watched the sad proceedings that were
TO rob her of her son, no matter how bad
he seemed in the eyes of the world, that
was turned upside down on one Of the
benches.
And the prisoners chair-the one in which
he sat guarded by the officers Of the law
while the people of the great state of New
York wound their web of conviction about
him-that was perched upon the clerks
desk, the very desk to which the prisoner
had gone to be sworn to the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
And the bench itself where the learned
Judge had given forth the law and then had
fixed a season for the ending Of a human
life-in place Of the gavel there was car

stick and in place of inkstand a cuspidor

Peeullarlties Of a Texas Norther.

"What is n Texas northern The ques-
tlon was put to Major B. NJ. Vanderhurst
of Texas, who was airing his Apollo Belvi-
dere figure in the glad sunshine that crept
under the awning of the Lindell. "a Tex

tremely damp and disagreeable wetness

north pole used to be aud swoops down

than ammonia, and requires but 10 seconds
TO work its way to the most secret recesses
of a fat mans soul and cause him to regard
the orthodox hell of fire as the one thing in
all the world most to be desired When a
norther has the victim in its grip, he feels
that he has combination of buck ague
and congestive chills.
st is the custom in Texas not TO make a
fire until somebody freezes to death. It
would be a slam on the most delightful
climate on earth Few houses built prior
to the war had any provision for heating
The custom was when anorther announced
itself to keep piling on coats until it got
discouraged and gave up the contest That
custom Is still generally followed. North
ern people regard this eccentricity of the
Texas climate with extreme disgust. They
90 down there expecting TO find 10 months
of summer and two months Of early fall
weather, to revel in the glad sunshine and
to inhale the unctuous perfume of mag
nolia buds all the year. They get into
their picnic clothes and send their heavy
weights to friends back home to be given
TO the poor or packed away in camphor.
Just about that time norther arrives, and
for three days they long to 90 to Manitoba
