1t Promises to Solve an Important

There is now at work at Barrett &
Keesee's n little engine which seems
destined TO solve a very important ques-
ton in motive power-that is, obtaining
the greatest amount OF energy at the
least cost. ana al the expense OF the
least amount OF space and the minimum
OF friction and wear and tear. The whole
affair can be- conveniently put into Il
hat-box. II consists Of two incised plates
bOlted together face 10 face the incided

with "a pa projecting from each side, the
whole being made Of one piec-, but

bearings Of the bali are circular holes
in the piston-bOX plates, through which
the pins extend The introduction or
steam gives the disk a webbing or Oscil-
lating motion. thus causing the pins 10

volume was also translated into Span
ish, German, and other languages.
! The first English version was published
in London, 1Gln.
There is still d missing link in the
historical statement as to the manner in
which the book met the Virginia boy.
He went to school in Fredericksburg
Q745) to a French minister. Perhaps
the rules were read occasionally, or die
tated to the boys as writing exercise.
The title of the original treatise was
"BienSedNce de la Conversation entire
les Hommes." AS the young people,
for whom we are quoting these historic
rules, are supposed to know a 'little
Latin, and less French" we venture to
give the Latin name: "COnanauniS Vte
inter honaines scitd ur6anias.'
In Washington's little book the
Rules are often condensed; as for ex-
ample where the English volume says,
'Do not use low, base or vulgar express
sions when treating of serious and sub
lime Subjects" the boy writes briefly,
"Sublime matters treat seriously"
We give the three Rules which close
the list as Sparks gives them:
"When you speak of God, or his at
tributes, let it e. seriously in reverence.
Honor and obey your natural parents,
although they be poor.
LET your recreations be manful, not
sinful. Labor to keep alive in your
breast that little spark of celestial fire
called conscience"
We also give these last two as they
are found in the English version:
"Let thy recreations be manful, not
sinful; there is a great vanity in the
batting of beasts; the Bears and Bulls
lived quietly enough before the fall; it
was our sin that set them together by
the ears; rejoice not therefore to see
them fight, for that would be to glory
in thy shame.
Labor to keep alive in thy breast
that little spark of Celestial fire called
Conscience, for Conscience to an evil
man is never-dying worm, but unto
good man is a perpetual feast." -
