In putting n locomotive together the
boilers generally are the next to ar
rive aftec the frames are set up. The
boilers are adjusted TO their places,
and then come the cylinders, guides,
wheels, cabs and the tenders. A boiler,
as nearly every one knows, consists OF
from 100 TO 200 tubes of greater or
less strength. each about two inches
in diameter and all encaSed in an outer
shell. The fire ana gases run through
these tubes. and in the spaces around
the tubes the water is made into steam.
The outside Of the boiler is Of iron,

Something About Sen Anemones.
Sea .:cemones attach themselves to
rocks and spiles and feed on what the
tides bring to them. They are of vari-
oous colors and they take great vari-

flower, the teatacles being the petals
when open. The sea anemones OF the
variety most Familiarity known-be-

chubby in build. They do not, even
when extended to their greatest height
reach in height, in proposition to their
thickness, sufficient TO enable them to
reach FOR anything and they must be
content with what comes to them.
But there is an ordinary variety, COM
mon for instance, on the spiles at the
battery In this city, that can reach TO
some extent. When closed they are
only little eXcrescences on the spiles.
When open they may be three inches
or more in length. They are of a
creamy white color. Some are from
half an inch TO tive-eighthS of an inch

wonderful treasure under the earth,
guarded by the White Cobra. Here
is one passage. Kaa. the big rock

says:

The Giant suuId.

Those who have taken it upon them
selves TO investigate the numerous sea
serpent stories which are related from
time to time have arrived at the al
most unanimous conclusion that there
is really a basis for all such tales, and
that basis is furnished by the glimpses
Of the giant squid. This gigantic deni-
zen of the deep inhabits all oceans and
seas, but appears to be partial to-rop-
zeal and subtroplcal waters; at least 1t
Is in such localities that it is most nu-
merously focnd. You are aware, Of
course, that the giant squ.d is the
OCTOPUS" or devil fish," and that II
is monstrOus brute both in size AMI
bodily outline. A full-grown squid OF
this species often weighs from 5000 to
10000 pounds, and has body fully
fifty feet in length. 1t has, besides its
eight smaller tentacles, two immense
arms, each fully 100 feet In length,
covered from end TO end with great
saucer-like suckers. The creature pro-
crosses through the water backwards,
the motive force being supplied by 4
great syphon-like tube in the Squld's
body. which Is discharged rearward.

HOME LOVING ANIMALS.
In "a wild State They stiIl Cling To
Some Particular Spot.

Some Particular Spot.
Most wild animals are much more
local in their habits than we imagine;
that is, they become attached to some
especial small range of country, to
which they confine themselves at GER
tain seasons of the year. We can see
the same thing In our domestic stock
on the range. A bunch of horses will
live for months in some little set OF
rayines, feeding over the same ground
day In and day out. until some change
In the weather leads them to remove TO
another locality. The same Is true of
range cattle, though they wander more
than horses. Though all species Of our
western game wholly change their
range in spring and autumn, yet, af-
ter they have settled down on their
summer or winter ranges, the area
that they cover Is not extensive. At
certain hours Of the day they go to
water; ut n par iicular time they vii
be found lying down, usually in the
same place, or feeding in the same
neighborhood. The hunter established

EXERCISED HIS RIGHT.
BILL FOR THE BENEFIT Of AN
OHIOAN VETOED by CLEVELAND.
Congress Criticised for Removing a
Charge of observation-disclosures Made
i'm the Income Tax Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--The President
to-day sent to the House his veto of the
bill to remove the charge of desertion
aginst jacob Eckert. The bill was intro
duced by Representative Richards, of Ohio
fciary. who lives at New Philadelphia, o.
He was a private in Company b, Fifty
first Ohio Volunteers, and was convicted
rnent by court-martial for desertion. The
President then says: ut seems to be that
the provisions of this bill amounts to a
judgment of regularly constituted court
and legislative pardon of offense of which
the soldier was convicted. If this doubtful
authority is to be exercised by Congress
st should be done in such manner as not
to restore a man properly convicted and
sentenced deserter without even the
allegation of injustice to the rights of pay,
allowances and pension, belonging to those
who faithfully and honorably engaged in
the military Service of their country.
The President has approved the following
acts: Authorizing the expenditure or por-
ton of the appropriation for st. Joseph mar
Dor, Mich. to complete the connection be-
tween that and Benton Harbor; to return
to Michigan the flags of certain volunteer
ley. Globe q Northern Railroad Company

tional circuit judge in the Ninth Pacific

SOutherners Think Lee Should Be

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 19.-The Richmond
State says this afternoon, editorially: 1.-The
suggestion is being made in some Northern
papers that the birthday of Abraham Lin
coin be made national holiday. This sug
gestion is in the way of a tribute to an
American who was made famous by the
great civil The best qualities were
given prominence by that tremendous con-
fict When Congress takes up this bill,
however it will be in order for some South
ern Congressman to amend by inserting
after the name of Abraham Lincoln the
name of Robert E. Lee What is the OBJ
ject of national holidays on the anniversar-
les of the birth of great men? Such are
meant not only tributes to the illustrious
dead but as lessons to coming generation
who can be benefited by their examples.
The life of Lee affords such example as
we'll as the life of Lincoln. Furthermore,
the making of a national holiday must be
the work not of the people of one section,
but of the entire country. 1t must be the
voice of the people of this time, and not by
the voice of our people of the civil war
time If Illinois and what was called the
North ask that Lncoins natal day be
national day. then Virginia and what was
known as the South should ask that Lees
birthday be a National day. If the North
asks the South to unite in doing national
tribute to Lincoln. then the South can with
equal propriety ask like tribute to its
