Some or the Tremendous Machines
Which Are Run by Electricity.
1t Is not long ago that fifty or sew
enty-five horse power gas engine was
one of the big things In engineering
and was looked upon as a noteworthy
achievement. How completely this
state of Affairs has been changed Is
perhaps best shown by the several re-
Gently published accounts of the power
plant Of the Pantin -four mill In France,
which comprises single-cylinder Sim
pick gas engine, rated at nothing less
than 800 indicated horse power. The
brake horse power is $50. The engine Is
worked by producer gas and has been
pointed to as an admirable illustration
Of the certainty with which the steam
engine Is being displaced for other
work, though slowly, perhaps, by other
forms Of motors. Now that this jump
to 320-horse power gas engine has
been made, and, apparently, with re-
suits Of most encouraging nature, an
early step to still larger sizes seems
more than probable, and it may not be
long before we shall hear of the build
ing of the 5OO-horse power engine
which Messrs. Matter g. Co., of Rouen,
the builders of the present Simplex
engine, have In view. The Messrs.
Thwaite & Swinburne, in England,
too, In agitating the subject Of
distributing electricity from the Mid
land coal districts direct to London
have contemplated the use Of gas en-
CINE units Of 300-horse power for a
1O,OO0-horse power station, so that the
era of gas engines Of several hundred
horse power each would seem to be
fairly ushered in. The Pantin mills On
CINE, as a result of 194-hour test,
shows a consumption Of 1,043 pounds
Of coal per brake horse power per hour.
The consumption Of jacket cooling
water and water for the gas pro-
ducers and washer for the same test
was found to be 58.3 pounds per horse
power per hour, or very much less than
the best condensing steam engines
would use, though about double the
quantity that would be required for the
best noncondensing engines.

other cities on or near the coast are as
much brides Of the sea as Venice. In
Amsterdam, for instance, the gondolier
and his song are the only things lack
ing to make the city Northern Venice,
and these are supplied by boatmen,
who work and sing not, but get their
passengers to the appointed destination
just as surely as though every stroke Of
the oar was accompanied by q rhyme
from Tasso. Amsterdam Is, In fact, a
city Of canals. The town is built on
about ninety islands, which, by the ar
tificial waterways, are cut up into all
sorts of sizes and shapes, and on them
are builded thousands upon thousands
of queer old houses, some, perhaps
most Of them, dating back to the time
when the burghers banded themselves
together to overthrow the Spanish rule.
In the matter of canals, Rotterdam
and a dozen other cities of the coast
are exactly like Amsterdam, while all
over the country dampness and mois-
ture are the rule. Situated on one Of
the most inclement coasts in Europe,
a wind from almost any direction comes
laden with moisture, which settles on
every object, so that during half the

Forgotten Quotations.

Although Scott Is still widely read,
few of us remember that from "Old
Mortality" we have "a sea of upturn-
ed faces" and Byron Is never thanked
for "Flesh and blood can't bear It."

plary of British parsons" is known to
have thought ''They order things bet
ter In France" and God tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb" but we sell

enter into his SOUL Yet that keen i'm
age Of grief, so often on our lips, may
also be found in the Sentimental Jour-
ney." Cowper's writings are not very
well known-the immortal "John Gil
pin" always excepted-therefore we
may be forgiven If the source Of 'hand
and glove" or "Her dear five hundred
friends" has slipped our memories. The
same may be said Of Rogers ITO know
her was to love her." Congreve's MAR

Farquhar's "Over the hills and far

the canoe and it's occupants in tow.
But sudden surprise was in store for
them. The water became shallow and
the stag gained Il footing sooner than
the Indian had calculated. No sooner
did the animal feel firm ground be-
meath his feet than, with two or three
frantic bounds, he sprang forward,
taking the canoe and the Indian with
him, and. before the rest could realize
the situation he reached the shore.
Here, in an instant, the man was

Of Holland Is of an antiquity so great
that history does not mention it's be-

country In the century before the
Christian era found a system of arti-

very extensive. nor very efficient, but
nevertheless sufficient to meet ordinary
emergencies, and from that time to this
there never has been q year during
which the Hollanders were not looking
after their dikes. except one. The
worlds history records no more des-

William the Stakeholder, who resolved
to cut the bikes and let In the sea, rath-

the French army was literally drowned

Abolishing Amin III Prisons.

Some Of the extreme advocates OF
kindness to animals are evidently pre-
pairing to enter upon a mission for the
total abolition Of menageries, geological
gardens, and other animal prisons.
Letters that seem like little kites flown

general public has not yet risen to them.
Still, the materials Of movement

Tennyson and His Illustrators.

Tennyson exercised no direct guild.
ance over his illustrators, and he must
frequently have been astonlshed at
their Interpretation Of his ideas. In
the poem of ''The Lady Of Shalott," for
example, the lady's hair is never men,
toned. Holman Hunt, however, repre-
sents her with flying masses Of crimped
hair spreading over her like veil.

when he first saw this illustration-we
quote from "Tennyson and His Pre-
Raphaelite Illustrators"-"I never said
that the young woman's hair was flying
all over the shop"

1t wasn't" and after a time the poet
came to be wholly reconciled to the de-

kind of offal or refuse matter into the
canals, but to judge from the smell Of
the small canals, the back alley water

must be surreptitiously emptied out OF
the back windows as the easiest way OF
getting rid of it. The canals are daily
flushed by the tide, but the tide flows
In as well as out, and the refuse that
goes out with the ebb often comes back
with the flow. The country canals are
free from foreign impurities, but tho
water they contain is, Of necessity,

endurable. In the stagnant waters OF
the city and country the germs Of chol-

Surgeon Mackay, an English sports
the African lion. African big game has
for many years had peculiar attrac-
ton for adventurous sportsmen. Its
pursuit was long an undertaking of
serious magnitude, and shared with
Polar exploration the foremost place
In the line Of gratuitous adventure.
How far its general conditions have
changed Of recent years Is illustrated
by an English newspaper.
This noble British sportsman points
out to his countrymen that 1t costs less
to go a-shooting to Mashona and Mata-
beleland than to hire shooting in the
Highlands of Scotland. Besides, the
African shooing is a good deal better.
And, besides, the ladies can go along.
All you want, says Earl Grey, Is a
comfortable wagon, good cook, and
an efficient conductor acquainted with
the language. All this is given as a
part Of an account of such q trip from
which he has just returned, and on
which he was accompanied by his wife
and Miss Balfour.
This sounds sufficiently surprising
when one realizes that these hunting
fields lie far inland of those where
Capt. Harris and Gordon Cumming
and Drummond lay in wait for the
rhinoceros and gathered their trophies
of the antelope tribe. The proposal to
take women along in the picnic Is an
addition that heightens the significance
Of the picture. One is reminded Of our

RandoIph's Bitter Sarcasm.

When John G. Calhoun became Vice
President Of the United States, and
consequently President of the Senate,
he announced that he had not the au-
thority to call the Senators to order for
words spoken In debate, as he regarded
each Senator as an ambassador from a
sovereign State. The eccentric John
Randolph, Of Virginia, took advantage
Of Mr.. Calhoun's ruling to abuse him
personally. One day he began a TRADE
by saying: "Mr. Speaker! 1 mean Mr..
President of the Senate and would-be
President Of the United States, which
God In his infinite mercy avertr
