that won the family appreciation, the
comforting poem that you found time
to copy and mail to an invalid friend,
the delightful call from a neighbor,
the helpful paragraph In the paper,
your success in Tencvating Amy's
gown that seemed so hopelessly shah
by, the wisdom from above that
helped you to control dear, Maynard
Tom, the glimpse that you had Of a
warm, kind heart hidden away in
that stern-featured Miss Cross, the
beautiful tints Of the sunset, and the
bright twinkling Of the soclable stars,
may seem a curious jumbling Of
things great and small, but Of such
is the warp and wool Of life.
If these and a score OF kindred
things have not been pleasant to US,
fear the days have not brought us
much delight. Very few find great
nuggets of Joy between the waking
and sleeping; we must search with
care for the tiny, golden grains.

Color Of the Hnir.

Between mems pursuits and the
color of their hair there is a direct
relation, we are told. An unusual
proportion Of men with dark, straight
hair enter the ministry; red.
whiskered men are apt to be given
to sporting and horsehesh, while the
tall, vigorous blonde men, lineal de-
scendants Of the vikings, still con.
tribute large contingent to our
travellers and emigrants. Birds and

their outside covering may be changed
by diet; but man remains what
nature made him to the last. Sup.
pose for a moment that a protective
color, like that which obtains In the
fields, woods and hedgerows, ruled
in the world of men, what an amaz.

rogue could but at will assume the
perfect guise Of an honest man, and
the gilded wasps Of society appear as
mason or honey bees, or were saints

Corey seized a keen bladed ak as she
at once thought of the bear Shut
ting her children into the bedroom
she rIshed to the yard and there saw
bruin rolling and tumblIng among the
chips Of the woodpile, Over the
bear lowered a 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, inaicting a severe
wound in the animals side. With a
howl the bear rushed upon her, I'M
mindful of the bees. Rising uIon 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.

is expected to attain normal speed
Of thirty miles an hour. 1t is pri-
marlly 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,
Brooklym 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 inv ention is the first prac-
tical step toward the adoption Of
electricity altogether as 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 a revolv-
ing armature is as yet unknown.

THE MILE IN VARIETY.
There Are Four Different Kinds In English
Speaking Countries Alone.

opchAAhk @hAuHos
English speaking countries have
four different miles - the ordinary
mile Of $3.50 feet and the geograph-
ical or nautical mile of 6,0S5, making
a difference Of about one-seventh be-
tween the two; then there is the
Scotch mile of 1928 feet and the
Irish mile OF 6,720 feet; four various
miles, every one of which is still In
use. Then almost every country has
its own standard mile, says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. The Romans
had their mil paSsuum, 900 PAGES,
which must have been about 5000
feet in length, unless we ascribe TO
C@sar's legionaries great stepping ca
pacity. The German mile Of to-day
Is 24,3l8 feet in length, more than
four and a half times as long as our
mile. The Dutch, the Danes, and
the Prussians enjoy mile that Is
l8, 44O feet long, three and one-half
times the length of ours; and the
Swiss get more exercise In walking
one Of their miles than we get in
walking Ave miles, for their mile Is
0,153 yards long, while ours is only
l,76O yards. The Italian mile Is only
a few feet longer than ours; the Ro-
man mile is shorter, while the Tus-
can and the Turkish miles are 150
yards longer The Swedish mile is
7,34l yards long, and the Vienna post
mile is S,796 yards In length. So,
here is a list of twelve different miles,
and besides this there are other
measures of distance, not counting
the French kilometer, which is rather
less than two-thlrds Of mile. The
Brazilians have a militia that is one
and one-fourth times as long as our
mile; the Neapolltan miglio is about
the same length; the Japanese ri, or
mile, is two and oue-half times ours;
the Russian verst is tiye-elghths as
long as our mile, while the Persian
standard Is a fesakh, four and half
miles long, which is said to be equal
to the parasang, so familiar to the
readers of Xenophon's "Anabasis "
The league that is familiar to readers
Of French and Spanish books varies
| just as does the mile. In Brazil 1t is
three and foul-hfths miles long, in
France it was three miles, in Spain
it was two and two-thirds miles, and
once on a time in England it was
two and half miles long.

had curious lubrlcating expert
ence few years ago that | would
like to put on record, observes Gulf.
The machine that gave me the trouble
was for experimental purposes, for
what purpose it 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 at Of despair, we put
soapsuds in the tank instead of oil
and started to pump that in, Presto!
the bearing had found the food for
which it was craving, and proceeded
to do its work with the cheerfulness
Of an old campaigner, 1t seemed that
it was not so much the quantity of
lubricant that was needed as regu-
lar and continuous supply. The oils
that we were able to use had a con-
sistency that untitled them for reach
ing the remote points under the rap
idly revolving bearings so it heated,
while the soapy water was thin
enough to be forced over the entire
surface and keep everything all right.
/ presume that there are oils that
would have done the same thing,
only we did not happen to get hold Of
them. But if you ever attempt to
use water, remember that you will
need it all the time and In large
quantities. Railway Review.

work for some time IN Swiss fac
tory 1t consists Of two ordinary
hand machines so coupled together
that they have only one pattern
board and one manual in the center,
and can be attended by one en-
broiderer. In order to connect the
steam power with the machine the
embroiderer has merely to press the
thumb on the pin Of the crank be-
longing to the manual, and the car
riage moves at once, the speed being
regulated by the amount OF pressure
on the pin. From 5000 to 5000

starboard and Port.

The term starboard or port when
applied to the wheel Of ship is a CO.
nundrum to landsman which he has
difficulty in getting through his head.
How the turning Of the wheel which
acts on the rudder brings about the
desired result Of starboard and port
can be illustrated by reference to a
ChinamaD. A starboard wheel throws
the stern Of a vessel to starboard.
changing the course Of the bow to
port and vice versa. So with a China
man when he turns his head to the
left, which Is port, his pigtail swings
to the right, which is starboard. OPP
posite results are obtained when he
turns his head the other way.

DrunIins.

1t is only within a few years that
any extended research has been made
into the history of drumlins. A
drumlin is mound of material pro-
jecting upward from the surface of
the earth to sufficient height to be
called hill. This mound or hill is
made from loose bits of earth and
rocks torn from lodges at the time
some thousands Of years ago-when
this part Of the earth was covered
with a sheet of ice at least four
thousand feet In thickness. AS this
vast sheet moved Of to the southwark
it carried with it quantities of earth
and small fragments of rock, which
were deposited in valleys or heaped
into drumlins. The reason for the
depositing Of the matter in valleys is
an easy one to explain, but how IL
came to be piled into hills has never
yet been discovered, though from
time to time scientific men have
given the matter careful study.
