Quick Work.

"To look at a railway locomotive one
would scarcely think that by any pos
sibility it could be put together in less
than one day." remarked Thomas G.
Bick Of Montreal, ''yet that astonishing
feat was accomplished not long ago in
England, the work occupying less than
10 hours from tbs driving of the first
rivet to the application of the final coat
of varnish. The start was made at 8
O'Clock in the morning, and 1 l minutes
afterward the first rivet was put into
the frames. The cylinders were set and
fixed in hour and II minutes. -Four
hours and II minutes from the start the
boiler was in place, and hour and 20
, minutes later the engine was wheeled.
The wheels were supplied just as they
left the shops, and the eccentric sheaves
had to be fixed and the axle boxes, con-
Meeting rod and coupling rod brasses
fitted by the erectors. Eight hours and
% minutes from the start the valve set
ting was completed, and the painting of
The engine was begun 10 minutes later.
In 8 hours and Al minutes from the
start the engine and tender were COM
pleted in every detail. One hundred and
thirty seven men were engaged in the
work. The locomotive was put into reg
ular service on the day it was completed
and has been running continuously ever
since. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Problem In Wizardry.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards, rearly always prefer to
believe in men or women who are of a
race inferior to their own or in circum-
stances which prove that their occult
powers are of no use to themselves. The
rule is not invariable, for there have
been great wizards like Paracelsus, Rog-
or Bacon, Michael Scott or Cagliostro,
who were acknowledged by those who
consulted or feared them to be in all
ways their superiors, but it is seldom
broken. In all the letters on country SUI
porstitions which we have published,
and the much greater number for which
we could find no room, the 'wise" man
or woman has always gypsy blood or
some popularity Of appearance marking
out him or her unfavorably from their
kind. The wizard of India is usually a
naked savage, while those who resort
to him are civilized beings clothed care
fully in muslin. The reverence of the
whites for the black Obeah man or
woman in the West Indies is the sub
ject of countless narratives, especially
in the French islands. -London Specta-
tor.

The Polite Conductor.

She was stranger, but that was not

naughty airs and proceeded to dictate

Lip Reading.

1t is marvellous to see the perfection
which some people who have become
deaf in middle life attain in lip read
ing. 1t is something that can be learned
by oneself after the first few lessons.
A hand glass is all that is necessary for
the regular study, and every person met
furnishes practice Like all study, it
requires perseverance to become an adept,
but the reward is so great in this case
that it is worth working for even if one
is not deaf. Soon we may appreciate tho
advantages Of being able to speak to a
person silently and from distance and
to receive what is said to us without
depending on the easily confused ear.
Soon lip reading may become fad, and
any one who wishes to be accomplished
in this way while it is a rarity would
better begin at once. Parents with chill
dren of defective hearing are almost in
excusable if they neglect having such
children taught lip reading while it is
easily learned. Newport News

TELESCOPES.
Points of Difference Between the Rejecting
and the Refracting Instruments.

anu btc AschThSehhS tTuhhCASSs
A very pretty little experiment, which
illustrates the two methods Of form
ing an optical image and by way Of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes may be performed by any
one who possesses reading glass and a
magnifying hand mirror. In a room
that is not too brightly illuminated pin
a sheet of white paper on the wall oppo-
site to a window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position Of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass, hold it between the win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
of paper and foot or more distant from
the latter. By moving it to and fro q
little you will be able to find distance
corresponding to the focal length of the
lens, at which picture Of the window
is formed on the paper. This picture,
or image, will be upside down because
the rays of light cross at the focus. By
moving the glass little closer to the
wall you will cause the picture of the
window to become indistinct, while a
beautiful image of the houses, trees or
other objects of the outdoor world be-
yond will be formed upon the paper.
We thus learn that the distance of the
image from the lens varies with the dis
lance Of the object whose image is form
ed. In precisely similar manner an
image is formed at the focus of the OBJ
ject glass Of refracting telescope
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror, and detaching the sheet OF
paper from the wall hold it nearly in
front of the mirror between the latter
and the window. When you have ad-
justed the distance to the focal length
of the mirror, you will see an image of
the window projected on the paper. By
varying the distance as before you will
be able to produce at will pictures of
nearer or more remote objects. 1t is in
this way that images are formed at the
focus of the mirror of a rejecting tele-
scope Garrett p. Serviss in Popular

yCEIrSrIC WORK AT THE SEASIDE

Asbury Park " j. Aug &c (SpeciaD.-The largest
congregation ever gathered in the beach Auditorium
this summer attended the three services to-day.
The evangelist. 3 Fay Mills. preached morning and
evening. His text for the morning was from Psalms
XIV /: THE earth Is the Lords and the funess
thereof and they that dwell therein" He made a
marked Impression upon his hearers. and among
other things said that the grandest work OF man
was infinitely small compared with the wonders OF
the Almighty. The grand achievements OF man at
the Worlds Far sunk into insignifcance compared
with blade OF grass upon the greensward where
stood the great show.
This afternoon at the National service Mrs. Mar.
care; Bottor,s president and founder OF the order
OF the Kings Daughters made an address on How
10 Reach the Masses" She gave as the true way
indIydual effort such as IL the grand work Of the
King. Daughters. which consisted OF sympathy and
k!ndness Colonel Fl. II. Hadley. OF the st. Bar.

Mills spoke again this evening another great con-
course OF people making many converts to the
