A yard switchman from Hutchinson,
named J. \. Sinclair. who took the
place of striker. was recently discharg.
ed for incOmpetency. He had met with
favor in the eyes of our people, who
took compassion on his moneyless con-
dition while working in the yards. and
extended credit to him for board, jewel
ry and dry goods to the total amount of
fifty dollars. On Monday he drew a
check for seventy dollars aud skipped out
tor Hutchinson without paying his bills.
City Marshal Rhodes was appealed to in
the matter by our citizens. and tele-
graphed the Hutchinson chief of police
to arrest Sinclair and hold him till he
arrived with warrant. Soon telegram
came from Sinclair suggesting COM
promise, and the amount of indebted
ness was promptly paid.

One of the Best.

THE best compliment ever had,
said we'll known lawyer the other
day, was paid by an old lady in an
adjacent town, where l once went to
take part in Fourth of July celebra-
ton. L was young man and always
availed myself of every chance got TO
spout. That day was on the pro-
gramme to read the Declaration of In
dependence, and put all the power
had into the lines.
when the exercises were over, an old
lady, who was arrayed in her finest,
came up to me and said, That is one
of the best declarations of independence
ever heard; you must have spent a
powerful long time writin it. "-Phila-

mo Cheeky Drummer Catches Two Di.
vines on n Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, commercial
traveller in the south once propounded a
question to couple of clergymen,
whom he encountered on railroad
train, which illustrates how easily a
man may be tripped on simple little

Into a conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
of DR.. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land" said
the graceless commercial man, 81 was
quite interested to read in q New York
paper recently that party of explorers
In Palestine bad discovered huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found In cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
| their preservation.
"Indeed!' replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. II had not
heard of it. 1t is certainly surpris-
ing discovery.
Yes, continued the drummer,
land, oddly enough, while nearly half
of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
Remarkable, calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken. while
the other looked at the drummer sus,
piciously.
What is your theory?" he contin-
ued. DO you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be of males
and tho black of females?''
Possibly" replied the moro com
municative clergyman, II am not az
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has on tho bono
of the sexes
And you, persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is your opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers."
Really, replied the other, Il don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
tho white bones may be of the male
children, and tho black of the female"
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it was about moving off
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
tho hand of one a card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if | suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had You done so in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New

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 30 years ago, it was the universal
practice to set the wheels on vertical shafts
or spindles, the wheel being located ut 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
1nconsderable portion of the power deycl-
oped by the wheel was used up in turning
them. But this was not the greatest trou-
bic encountered. The wheels showed n
provoking and expensive tendency to run
down"
"RunninE down" may be explained in
TINS way: The weight of thu shaft was
mainly borne upon it's point. This made
the friction an important factor When the
wheels were run ut n speed of, say, 400 rev
olutions to the minute, and it WAS found
that such high vc.Ocities yielded the best
results, the tendency of the bearings to
heat was Increased many fold. In practice
1t was found that # for any reason the
shaft got out of an exact perpendicular, or
II the fabrication was in the least degree
defective, heating was certain to follow.
Sometimes the point and bearing would be-
come white hot i'll the space Of two or three
minutes, and occasionally before the ma
chinery could be stopped the two parts
would soften and weld almost instantly
l,a
sure.
This later factor can be appreciated from
the fact that shafts weighing % tons each,
including wheels and gearing, are not I'M
common when heads approaching 100 feet
are used. OF course the utmost cure was
exercised to prevent "running down." but
every once i'll awhile the oler would let the
bearings go unattended too long, the swift
~ moving point would heat and "burn"
or weld, and everything would be brought
up standing. Then there would be Il sour
rying about for millwrights 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 well as
days and for the electric lights, the wheels
would be lacked up with almost infinite
pains and labor. and in the meantime, il
the turbine were not supplemented by IL
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 availed until some one Thought of
the plan to put the wheels on short hori-

Ivory Carving In China and Japnn.

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
ono another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut Perhaps
probable one is that Il ball of ivory
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends of which four small holes were
carved ont, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until tho axis of
the one hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the cen
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and thin layer OF
ivory, forming part of circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the next one, complete inner
circle was eventually loosencd, the cir
Giles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern. Chambers Jour

II am sorry to see it. Participating is
british and degrading. In an age like
this, when there are so many enormous
problems of science and civilization to
solve, it is wrong for any man to give his
mental energies to the consideration of
things like this which are not only low in
themselves, but demoralizing in their influ-
ences"

problem was solved, for the horizontal
shafts had no thrust" and it was found
that there WIS no appreciable difference
between the power of the water utilized in
that manner and by means of vertically
fplaced wheels.

more used under great head in Switzerland
