Every expression of the child showed
eager curiosity. On the way down
town the boy frequently and persist

Finally the car passed Baldwin's,
and the youngster caught glimpse Of

"Papa, papa, what is that?" he
cried.
"That's q locomotive boiler, my

Thus answered the juvenile was lost

"Did you say that was o locomotive

out.

What Trained Senses Can Do.

It is remarkable how we'll perfum.
er learns to recognize a scent. In
testing sweet-smelling liquid, he
vets the base of his left thumb with q
little of it. Then he rubs the place
rapidly with his right hand. The al-
cohol in which the essence is dissolved,
being the more volatile, is at once
evapornted, and the substance which
emits the odor remaining, he can
smell it in it's purity.
OF course, it is an easy thing to rsc-
ognize the principal odors that are in
use, but when several are mixed, as is
common, his task becomes more diff.
cult. Yet skilled man cannot only
tell you what three or four perfumes
enter into the composition of the one
he is testing, but also, roughly, the
relative proportions of each.
It is easy to tell the relative amount
of wool and cotton in piece of COL
.ored underwear when you know how.
Men who have made the subject spe-
,cialty can do this by holding the
cloth in the light and looking along
it. The cotton and wool can be dis
tinguished by the difference in their
,colors, which exists, although the
same dye was used for both. The un-
trained eye could hardly detect the
fact that the, cloth had two shades,
but the skill that comes from long
practice makes the thing simple.
There are many men, too, who are
able to tell an English book from an
American book by the smell. The
books printed in England in nearly
every case have a pleasanter odor than
those made in America. The kind OF
paste, ink, paper and binding used
has probably something to do with it.
} There are ways of telling who the
publishers of given book are besides
looking at the title page. Somehow
every firm gives q certain characteris-
tic look to every volume which it Is
sues, and skilled man, in nine cases
out of ten, merely by looking at the
binding and at one of the pages. can
tell from whose presses and bindery q
work comes. This, of course, applies
only to the larger firms and to books
printed comparatively recently

Immensity Of the Universe.

To form some idea of the large ness
of the earth, one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
church steeple, and then bear in'mind
that one must view 100000 similar
landscapes to get an approximately
correct idea Of the size of the ea-th,
says London Public Opinion. Place
500 earths like ours side by side, yet
Ssturn's outermost ring could easily
enclose them. Three hundred thou
sand earth globes could be stored in
side the sun, if hollow. If a human
eye were capable OF looking upon a
fresh measure OF world material 5400
square miles large, that eye would
need IS, 900 years to overlook the sur
face of the sun. To reach the nearest
fixed star, one must travel 25, ,O00,'
OOO,OO miles; and, if the velocity
were equal to that of q cannon ball, it
would require 100000 years to
travel that distance. Besides single
stars, we know of mo- system of stars
moving round one another. Still, we
are but short way into space yet.
Outside of our ,imits of vision and
Imagination there are no doubt still
larger spaces. The Milky Way holds
at least 81. 191, 900 stars, and as each
is sun, we presume it is enciroled by
at least fifty planets. Counting up
these figures, we arrive at the magni-
tude of 1000, 955, 900 stars. A thou
sand million starsl Who can com.
prehend it9 Still, this is only part
of the universe. The modern tele.
scopes have discovered more and more
Milky Waya still further sway. We
know of some 5000 nebulae which
represent Milky Ways like ours. Let
us count 1000 of them as being Of the
size of our Milky Way; then 1000 by
20, 191, 900 equals 40, 1892, 900, 900 suns,
or 2, O19, 100, 600, 900 heavenly bodies.

How a Great Steel Ring Was Made.

The steel ring for generator NO. o at
the Niagara Power Companys new
plant is now at the shop Of the West
inghouse Company, and is attracting
a great deal of attention from steei
men, as we'll as from electricians: IL
is regarded as one of the very finest
pieces of work ever turned out. IL
was forged at Bethlehem, Penn. The
ring is considerably the largest OF the
kind ever cast. 1t is eleven feet seven
and one-eighth inches in diameter: a6c
about five feet high and weighs 27,OoV
pounds. It cost over $4,000.
The making of the ring was an e1,
ceedingly difficult task. A nickel
steel ingot four and half feet IN d.
ameter at the bottom and six and q
half feet long was cast. A hole was
then bored through it lengthwise. A
block Of the proper weight was then
cut from the ingot, and the cylinder
thus obtained was heated, and, under
a hydraulic pressure of $4,000 tons
was expanded to the present size. 1t
would be just like cutting from lead
pencil q section half an inch long, bor-
inc the lead out of it and then expand.
inc the wood to q ring an inch in d.
ameter.
The ring had to be forged to per-
feet circle, and in such way as TO
prevent the possibility of weakness in
any part, for. when the tremendous
pressure of Niagara is brought to bear
on the turbine, which will turn the
ring, it will revolve around the arma'
ture at the rate of $50 revolutions per
minute. The electrical energy thus
obtained will be 5000 horse power.

Western Kansas is entirely unlike
