TIE LETTER TO MIR. HEs1NG.

letter got there all right, and now he
has gone into the picture business and is
pressing tho button and letting Chicago
pOstmen do the rest. Tho first picture
letter sent to Chicago was that of a f1orid
gentleman with triangular side whiskers
truly and wonderfully trimmed. and the
employees of the Chicago office, who
were naturally keeping we'll posted ON
the situation, at once recognized the pic
turc as that of Washington Hesing, who
WIS SU,'u L. rul" over them as postmas-
ter. \ Tnstman was dispatched in hot
haste IT, Mr.. lIesimg's Office, and the
prospective postmaster was filled at
once with pardonable pride over the eff
cheney of the postofice force and the
widespread fame of his whiskers.
The next day, however, when the same
postman brought him another side whis-
ker pictured letter, he felt strongly
moved to tear his own burnsides with
rage, for from the manner in which the
whiskers had been worn off the top of
the head Mr.. Hesing was sure that the
picture was meant to represent Mr.. Ar
mour and not himself. The whiskers,
too, were not near SO bushy, spreading,
luxuriant and well blocked out as his
own, and the budding postmaster felt
something ought to be done in postoff1ce
where the employees could not tell Hes
ing whiskers from Armour whiskers at a
glance. As Mr.. Hesing has been Chica-
COS postmaster since Jan. l, every en-
ployee has doubtless become whisker
expert by this time.

NEW METHOD OF SETTING TURBINE WHEEL.
greatest interest is felt here in the type OF
wheel to be used or rather the method OF
their setting, for, as understand it, wheels
of any type may be set on either vertical or
horizontal shafts.
When turbines were first introduced here,
some so years ago. it was the universal
practice to set the wheels on vertical shafts
or spindles, the wheel being located at the
bottom of the shaft or vertical hole down
which the water is conveyed to the point of
utilization. At the top of the spindle the
power was transferred, by means of gear
ing or belts, to the machinery desired to be
run. 1t will be evident to the reader, upon
reflection, that these shafts or spindles
were of necessity very heavy, and that no
inconsiderable portion of the power devel-
oped by the wheel was used up in turning
them. But this was not the greatest trou-
BILE encountered. The wheels showed a
provoking and expensive tendency to run
down"
Running down" may be explained in
this way: The weight of the shaft was
mainly borne upon its point. This made
the friction an important factor. When the
wheels were run at a speed of, say, 400 rev.
olutions to the minute, and it was found
that such high velocties yielded the best
heat was increased many fold. In practice
it was found that if for any reason the
shaft got out of an exact perpendicular, or
if the fabrication was in the least degree
defective, heating was certain to follow.
Sometimes the point and bearing would be-
come white hot in the space of two orthree
minutes, and occasionally before the ma
chinery could be stopped the two parts
would soften and weld almost instantly
under the great speed and enormous pres
sure.
This later factor can be appreciated from
the fact that shafts weighing 25 tons each
including wheels and gearing, are not I'M
common whom heads approaching 100 feet
are used. OF course the utmost care was
exercised to prevent running down." but
every once in awhile the oiler would let the
bearings go unattended too long, the swift
ly moving point would heat and burn
or weld, and everything would be brought
up standing. Then there would be sour
rying about for millwrghts and men, gen
orally in the middle of the night, for the
wheels are used here to furnish power for
Touring mills which run nights as we'll as
days and for the electric lights, the wheels
would be lacked up" with almost infinite
pains and labor, and in the meantime, if
the turbine were not supplemented by a
steam plant, the lights would be out or the
mill would not grind until proper repairs
had been made.
All sorts of schemes were tried to pre-
vent running down" Among other de-
vices the bearing was fitted with lens
shaped piece of iron or steel running loose
in oil for the point to rest upon. Collar
bearings were fitted at various points along
the shaft. All bearings were constantly
surrounded by running water, etc, but
nothing awaited until some one thought of
the plan to put the wheels on short hort

The Cost of Good noads I.essen,np

Data already gathered show that new
roads are MISUNDERSTANDING i'll many
parts of the country. and that increased
knowledge and skill, improved machin-
cry and methods and extended practical
experience are rapidly lessening the cost
of good roads. Civil Engineer Harrison
of Asbury Park, N. j., is authority for
tho statement that while two or three
years ago the cost of bodybuilding was
$4,000 per mile it was last year Sc, 500
per mile. Professor j. B. Hunnicut OF
the University of Georgia, in response to
an inquiry from the road bureau Of the
agricultural department, states that tho
cost of good, hard roads recently built
in Georgia, providing for track of stone
and one of earth, was 81 200 mile. SUI
pervisor Chapin of Canandaigua, N. Y,
in letter to General Roy Stone, reports
that 10 miles of single track stone
road, with an earth track each side, was
built in that town for $700 mile.
Active interest in the movement for
better roads is shown by the railroads
generally. Special reduced rates are Of
fered by many of the railroads, and
tabulated statement of the various con
cessions in shipment rates by large
number of companies has been prepared.

appearing woman, but has shown great
energy and shrewdness in pushing her
canvass for the position and has twice
been victorious in the face of well organ
lied opposition. She is q descendant of
the Russells, one of the pioneer families
of the state, and her father, Captain John
w. Russell, held positions Of trust under
President William Henry Harrison. Mrs.
Day was educated at Frankfort and New
York, and some IA years ago became the
wife of W. e. Day, Chicago newspa-
per man. Her husband died year later,
and she was compelled to support her
self. She returned to the old Russell
farm near Frankfort, which her ances-
tors settled nearly a century ago, and soon
became a very successful farmer. The
rewards of farming were hardly suf1i-
cient for her needs, however, and she
turned her attention to political fields.
AS she had an army of relatives who
possessed influence and another army of
friends throughout the state, she thought
the office of state librarian was about
what she wanted and announced herself
candidate in 1888. Sickness at home
prevented her from actively looking aft
er her canvass, and she was beaten. In
1890 she prepared more thoroughly for
the struggle i'll the legislature, and sue
cess crowned her efforts. At the recent
election she was again a candidate, and
although four other ladies with very
strong backing were in the race against
her she succeeded in carrying the day
after six exciting ballots had been taken.
She attends thoroughly to business,
never forgets to draw her salary and is

Nautical Terms.

An old tar has recently prepared a
handbook of nautical terms for the use of
persons who intend to follow the sea- In
order to correct popular belief, our author
gravely asserts that the berths on board
ship do not necessarily add to the census.
The hatchways are not hens nests The
way of the ship is not the extent of her
avoirdupois. The boatswain does not pipe
all hands with a meerschaum. The ship
does not have wake over a dead calm
The swell Of a ships side is not caused by
dropsy, nor is the taper of bowsprit tai
low candle. The hold is not the vessels
grip. The trough of the sea is not dug out
OF the ships log. The crest of wave is
not an indication of its rank. The buoy is
not the captains son. The men are not
beat to quarters with club. Ships are
never boarded at hotels. The bow of ship
is not evidence Of politeness. A sailors
stockings are never manufactured from a
yarn OF his own spinning. The sails of n
ship are not made by an auctioneer, nor are
the stays constructed by dressmaker.-
