SOapsuds as u Lubricator.

had curious lubricating expert
ence few years ago that l would
like to put on record, observes Gulf.
The machine that gave me the trouble
was for experimental purposes, for
what purpose 1t matters not. The
trouble lay in the fabrication of a
shaft that had to make four thousand
revolutions per minute. 1t was about
four and a quarter inches in diane
ter, with journals from eight to nine
inches long, and carried a weight of
eighteen hundred pounds. The thing
simply would not run cool. We cut
oil grooves in the boxes; we scraped
them; we used every kind of metal
we could think Of; we hitched on a
pump and pumped gallons of oil
through those bearings; and yet in
from five to ten minutes they would
commence to heat, and nothing
seemed to be able to stop it but the
stOppage of the machine.
One day, in fit OF despair, wo put
soapsuds in the tank instead Of oil
and started to pump that in. Presto!
the bearing had found the food for
which 1t was craving, and proceeded
to do its work with the cheerfulness
Of an old campaigncr. 1t seemed that

need it all the time and in large

The Size of Heaven.

While the mercury at Rialto has
been gradually stealing to the top of
the tube during recent weeks thus
familiarizing the wicked with their
ultimate destiny, Mr.. Kendall Holt
of the 'Orange Grower" has en-
deavored to draw some consolation
from the operation of computing the
cubical capacity of Heaven. 1t may
be consoling to his friends to learn
that he finds the place large enough
to prevent Over-crowding for some
time to come. 1t will not therefore
be necessary, according to Kendalps
figures, to 'come early and avoid the

Corey seized keen bladed ak as she
at once thought of the bear. Shut.
ting her children into the bedroom
she rushed to the yard and there saw
bruin rolling and tumbling among the
chips OF the woodpile. Over the
bear lowered swarm of honey bees.
The bear had upset half dozen
hives OF bees and the insects were
having revenge.
Mrs. Co ey watched the battle for
awhile, and then she made stroke at
bruin with the ak, INJECTING a severe
wound in the animals side. With a
howl the bear rushed upon her, un-
mindful Of the bees. Rising III on its
hind legs it advanced upon the
woman and tried to hug her. Mrs
Corey piled the ak with energy. and
after several blows struck the animal
In the head, killing it instantly. She
received during the battle a blow
from one of the bears paws, which
badly lacerated one OF her arms.
Then the bees came at Mrs. Corey,
singing her severely. At last she
succeeded in hiving them. Then
she noticed that two little cubs had
come out Of the brush. These she
captured and now has them as re-
minders of her desperate fight with
their mother.

scendants Of the vikings, still con-

is expected to attain a normal speed
OF thirty miles an hour. 1t is pri-
marily intended for elevated work
and light freight traffic and passenger
service.
The adoption of the electric loco
motive will of course be gradual, but
for places comparatively near each
other and where traffic is dense it is
peculiarly adapted. 1t will probably
first be used in elevated railroad serv-
ice, and in cities like New York,
Brooklyn and Chicago should be
hailed with delight, doing away, as it
will, with the present evils of noise,
coal, smoke, dust cinders, and flying
sparks that attend the motors now in
use. This in, ention is the first prac-
tical step toward the adoption of
electricity altogether as a means of
securing absolute rapid transit. The
electric locomotive is susceptible of a
higher speed than that already OBJ
tanned by our most magnificent steam
locomotives, for while there is ALWAYS
limit to steam production and util-
ization dependent upon the structural
and operating conditions Of the loco
motive, the limit OF speed of revolv-
ing armature Is as yet unknown.

How to Go to Sleen.

Parents are frequently reminded,

CHAPTER Nv.

ONAfIEn W.
The lady's advent made wonderful
difference to the little log hut; for
Jake that lonely tenement was filed
now with grace and poetry. Tom, for
his part, secure In his possession Of the
priceless treasure, didn't seem after
the first few months to make 80 much
OF her. But to Jake, who could butt
worship from afar, she was simply a
tighten and sweeten the gloom of the,
forest. Her presence made everything
purer and more beautiful. He couldn't
imagine how Tom, with the easy care
lessness of the quiet married man,
could allow that angel to cook and wash
for them; for himself, he was always
trying to save her trouble, to split her
firewOod and draw her water, to make
up for the lack of society in that track
less forest, to find conversation even,
as soon as his first awe of the lady
wore slowly away and gave place to the
sublime and delightful consciousness
OF secure friendship. For Mrs. Tom,
as he always called her, was gracious
enough to admit him to the honors Of
her confidence, and to talk with him on
terms Of perfect equality. The trap
per's heart bounded within him when.
ever she gave him q kind word-the
only white woman, save his own
mother, he had ever known to be really
friendly with.
Month after month those three lived
on together in their strange household,
seldom or never seeing any one from
outside; and month after month Jake'a
admiration and devotion toward the
dainty white lady grew more and more
profound, chivalrous and tender. A
for Tom, he seemed to think less and
Hess OF her-or 80 Jake fancied-as time
went on; to be unworthy of this treas.
ure he had won 80 easily. HE was
rough but kind" Lucy said sometimes,
whereas Jake, as he knew in his own
heart, and confessed to himself sheep
ishly, was kind and not rough, never
rough to Lucy. He worshiped the
very ground on which trod-he, whose
alteration had never been spoiled by
the too great familiarity Of accom-
plished possession.
Winter came on. and with it that ter
rible time of privation for lone wo-
man In the cold, cold north. Lucy was

Then Jake knew he was really fool
ing him and answered nothing, but
mere y sat with his head on one side,
putting away doubtfully at one of the
big cigars which Tom had brought
back among his purchases from Toron-
to as q new and fashionable form Of
tobacco.
However, when Tom saw he was ST.
lent he went on with such evident sin
certify to speak of the girl he had chosen
for his future wife that bit by bit Jake's
incredulity relaxed, and he began to
discover to his profound surprise Tom
was really in earnest. At last, when
he could doubt the startling news no
longer, he turned round to Tom and ex-
claimed in establishment. why, Tom,

girls, with small hands and feet and
mignonne features, whom the Anglo
Saxon race in its Western decaderce
seems to produce by hundreds before
the stock dies out) out of the common
est lines, yet with q type of beauty
which in England belongs only to the
extremely aristocratic society. Jake
was ready to fall down and worship at
her feet, and when the lady held out
her small white hand and said to him
graciously, with q pretty smile, I'm
glad to see you; Toms told me great
deal about you already" he felt as
though he could sink into the ground
with shame for his own inability to
answer her fitly.

Near the cabin of Amos Corey, a

near Turnwood, N. Y, occurred a

CHAPTER II.

At last, one day an unheard of event
took place by common consent in the
little household. Tom went on shop
ping expedition to Toronto.
For years the pair had been slowly
accommodating goodly stock Of Cana
dian bank-notes, the surplus OF their
sales over their purchases from the
company's agent, and having nothing
to do with them in the wild north
they found these bank-notes had
gathered head at last, till Tom and
Jake began to feel it was q sin to lock
up so much capital idle; and not being
economists enough to have heard Of
investment, they decided between them
that Tom, who was the best speaker,
must set off to spend it, or part of
it, at Toronto. There were many
things there, no doubt, in the stores
they had heard tell OF which would
come in handy for the hut in snow-time.
So off Tom set, In bright mid-winter
on his trusty snow-shoes, taking advan-
tage OF the easy travelling down, and
meaning to bring back his purchases
over the even road afforded by the
snow on hired sleigh from Barrie or
Portage.

they had been told Toronto was q
larger town, and if once Tom quilted
his native wilds to see the world, it was
agreed between them he ought to see
It with its modern civilization at its
highest and best in the streets of q
great commercial city.
Seven weeks Tom was gone, and
when he came back again he sat and
talked for seven hours with Jake, as
Jake would never have conceived his
old friend and chum capable of talking.
Contact with the world had given Tom
frosh cloquence; he described all the
vendors of the crowded town with
strange ease of diction - the rail-
WY, tho street cars, the electric-light,
the telephone, the gigantic hotel, where
hi: room had been No. $50, till Jake
began to think in his simple soul the
Travelled man was trying to fool him.
Finally Tom paused in shame-faced
way, and then said with burst, Sand,
