Shafts Made Hollow.

A 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, core, some
times six or eight inches in diameter,
is bored out from the center, leaving
a safe amount Of metal In annular
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 embodies impurities
and incipient cracks which may radi-
ate to the surface after long 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 1t that

q ship like the Paris, she would very
promptly sink under the load. The
rule is now for s to 10 horse power to
each ton of machinery, including
boilers and all appurtenances.

Nonsense Ahont Tomntoea.

An idea has gained currency dur
ing the past few years that the to-
mato as an article Of diet is liable to
produce or encourage the terrible
disease of cancer, and not long ago 1t
was also stated that the use Of this
vegetable had been forbidden at the
Cancer Hospital. So widely spread
has this notion become that DR..
Marsden, chairman of the medical
committee of the Cancer Hospital,
London, has thought it advisable to
give it official contradiction, He
says that his committee has been IN
undated with letters on this subject,
and he begs publication for the fol-
lowing statement, which we hope
will settle the matter once for all.
1t is the opinion Of the committee
"that tomatoes neither predispose to
nor excite cancer formation, and that
they are not injurious to those suf-
fering from this disease, but, on the
contrary, are very wholesome ar

Not Liam Year.

The year is 1855 days hours and
As minutes long; eleven minutes are
taken every year to make the year
1851 days long, and every fourth year
we have an extra day. This was
Julius Caesars arrangement. The
eleven minutes come from the future,
and are paid by emitting leap year
every 100 years. But If leap year
is omitted regularly every hundredth
year, in the course of 400 years it is
found that the eleven minutes taken
each year will not only have been
paid back, but that whole day will
have been taken up. So Pope Greg
DRY KILL, who improved Caesars cal
endar in 1882, decreed that every
centurial year divisible by four should
be a leap year, after all. So we bor-
row eleven minutes each year, more
than paying our borrowings back by
emitting three years in three centu-
rial years, and square matters by
having a leap year in the FORTH cen
turial year. Pope Gregory's arrange

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 agood
dinner, and frequently entertained
house parties at the comfortable old
fashioned Mexican hacienda, Among
others who made a stay with one of
the New York parties was Miss
M. Although a woman Of "un-
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 jolly bachelor Of perhaps 40
summers, who had seen much Of the
world and had magnetic personality.
He was a man Of enormous proper
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 lr
his most suave and polite way, said;

The SIM nnd the stnrn.

The sun is "a star, and the stars are
suns. This fact has been 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 80 great that the diameter
of the earth's orbit dwindles almost
to point In comparison. This ac-
counts satisfactorily 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
paratively rare, and may, perhaps, be
considered as forming exceptions to
the general rule.
