1t is a legend in the telegraph office that
the sender takes pile of messages, and
sorting out those marked rush" puts
them at the bottom Of the pile. There Is
also n class of communicates that every
newspaper Office knows which marks Its
letters rush
1t will never be known just what these
writers expect. Possibly it is that when
the letter is received by the postofiice au-
thorities the wheels of Uncle Sans mighty
engine for the distribution of mail will
stop while the postmaster SEXES his hat
and rushes out to deliver the letter per
sonally.
If anybody sees the postmaster tearing
across town at breakneck speed he may
know that the postmaster is delivering a
rush letter.
Sometimes man will send letter
marked rush" containing "A check or a
postal order. Then it goes to the business
Office and is not opened, but sent to the
news editor on the superstition that it con
tains news. The news editor growls at the
chump that sent IL and sends it back to the
business office And so IA letter marked

Marine Engines For Land Service

An interesting departure i'll engineering
is the introduction of marine engines for
land service. One of the great electric
Illuminating companies, it appears, has
adopted them in its work, and concerning
their economy i'll respect to space and
power it is reported that the land engine
takes up some ten times a. much space as II
marine engine. and the marine quadruple
expansion engine has ten times the heating
surface of the land engine. Further. the
new quadruplex two crank expansion en-
CINE is twice ~ powerful as the triple ex-
pansion three crank engine, occupies also
20 per cent less room and carries regularly
2l0 pounds Of steam. The land engine carries
only 80 or 90 pounds of steam aud gets one
horsepower out OF from to 10 pounds of
anthracite coal, while the uuairupic *
pansiOn marine engine develops one horse
power out Of d, pounds OF Welsh coal
that is, according to these data, The lgEtl
engine requires from two tn fot.r times a.
much coal as the marine engine to produee

spins and j. rubbed Oh TO any spnt by
simply moving the point gently over in any

made also Of still later device of this

Int by whom taken il was difficult 10 mo

II WAS found that respectable iooSihs
p.,rson would enter the dining SAIGON anu
give his order for dinner, of which he par
took. During his meal ho conveyed one Oh
r,or, articles 10 the under side Of the table,
fixing them there by means OF wax, Wild
which he was provided for the purpose
should the servant who waits upon MN
miss any of his spoons or other articles, the
rogue is still in no danger, and offers hiia'
self TO be searched with perfect IMMUNITY
and an air of injured innocence.
OF course he is allowed to depart, but I'M
mediately after an aecomplice enters, oruers
his dish. whatever il may he, seating hinl
self at the same table, whence he removes
the seeretea articles TO his own pocket, OF
course taking care that the waiter shall
mt miss any articles from the table rs set
before him. There is no reason for suspect
ing this individual who quietly pays nus
bills and departs To share the booty with
his waiting confederate.
A case of this Kind occurred few weeks
since in the place de Ia Madeleine, where
the Superintendent suspected the trick, al
lowing the first party to retire after apollo
giving for searching him. He, however,
sent for detective in plain clothes and
hade him watch that particular table.
Presently, after the departure of the first
rogue. his confederate entered, seated hun
self at the table in question, and while
takin. his soup began his work, little
dreaming that the peaeeable looking citi-
zen opposite, with his back toward him, was
watching every movement in the looking
,,lass through hole In the newspaper
which he held before his face and was pre-
tending to read. 1t was almost as good as
a play, aud the detective was obliged to
restrain himself or he would have burst
into a fit of laughter.
No sooner had the rogue succeeded in
transferring the last Of the forks and spoons
to his pocket than he rose very leisurely,
walked to the cashiers desk and took out
his money TO pay for the meal But at the
same moment there was a hand laid heavi-
lyupon his shoulder. and the detective very
bluntly slipped pair of handouts upon
his wrists The missing articles were found
in his pocket, and he was marched into
