At a recent meeting in England. Mr.
Alexander Siemens gave some wholesome
ADVICE 70 young engineers and inventors.
he dispelled the fable about the circun1-

steam engine. According 20 the popular
version, Watt, as q small boy saw the lid
OF a kettle move up and down. when the
water was bollng, and this suggested TO
him the construction of the steam engine.
AS matter of fact, Watt made himself
acquainted with what had been done be-

popular Version), and had to work very
hard before he brought his invention to a
successful issue. His example is typical
of the true method Of progress, and It NAV

One of the latest combinations of modern
Ideas is found in the typewriter circle,
which is q special typeWrtng machine
mounted on a bicycle for use i'm war. SAYS
the New York Advertiser The operator
sits astride his bike" which. when not
running, is steadied by two light props
thrown cut s.dew Sc. He then receives
messages in Various ways and copies
them sinely or in multiple. An expert
operator is able, with the typewriter, to
make duplicatOr stencil more rapidly than
several printers can set up the same
amount OF matter in type. From such a
stencil as many as 1000 copies can be re-
produced easily; and what is true of writ
ing Is equally so of maps, plans or dia-
grams. During recent military tourns-
ment in England Typewriter CyClist took
part IN twenty-eight mimic battles without
a single mishap, and at the direction Of
the comanding officer, rode his machine
from time 70 time in and out of the various
nnes OF gun carriages and ether obstruc-
tons. Messages We're s'gnalled from bal
looms and promptly typewrittcn, and then
convey cd 10 the rear by another novelty
a trained war dos. When Shakespeare
spoke of letting loose the dogs OF war this
curious combination of utilities could
hardly have been in his mind. The type
writer can easily be unshipped from the
wheel and set on an ordinary table.
Many insects make a noise of some sort.
at least most Of them do, says the Phil
adelphia Press. And as this noise is of diff
ferent KIND in different animals, so il is
bitlUttQ III inherent ways. CEdIctlN any
two insects make their music in the same
manner. There is the little katydid You
all know the katydid, of course. 1t is in
color q light green its wings are gauzy
and beautiful. Just where the wing Of
the katydid joins the body there is a thick
ridge. and another ridge CORRESPONDING to
II on the wing On these ridges is stretched
thin but strong skin, which makes a
sort of dTumhead. ii is the rubbing to-
getheT OF those Two ridges or drumheads
which makes the queer noise we hear from

hear the sound "Katy-didl katV-d dn I 70
you may know that this katydid is rub
bling the ridges of her body together and
perhaps enjoying doing it. The moment it
IS dark she and all her friends begin. Per
maps some OF them rest sometimes, but
II they do there are plenty more to take
up the music. Then there is the bee The

lt Is the air drawing in and out of the air

makes the humming. The faster a bee
flies the louder he huns. Darling back

a Hover or even fence, and all at once
he is still again.
Those who make business of obIiter-

shape Of black eyes by painting the dam

be applied Immediately after the injury is

to do il. All that is necessary is to move
TIE fingers rapidly and firmly over the
bruised surface. and TO keep it up until
the last Vestige of discoloration has dis

the blow has been received the blood be-
comes congested 1t is the cldts of blood
showing through the transparent skin that
produces the black effect. The pressure of
the fingers gradually lOosens the clotted
blood which passes off into the general
current of circulation, and fresh and prop
