HOW MANY TONS DO YOU LIFTi


IAborezs Often Raise From Three to -Four
Hundred Tons Day.
1t IL interesting, but not always easy, to
make comparisons between the energy re-
quired for doing various kinds of work.
The simplest way to make the comparison
is to estimate the amount of energy of per-
forming each task in terms of foot pounds
or foot TONS the meaning of which is the
energy required to lift one pound or one
ton to height Of one foot.
Inasnluch as there are 2,240 pounds In
ton, it is obvious that 1t requires 2,S4O
times as much effort to lift one ton as to
lift one pound, and that the lifting OF one
pound to height of 2,240 feet is precisely
equivalent to the lifting Of one ton to the
height of one foot.
In talking of things in this way we are
supposing n somewhat imaginary condl-
ton of affairs-for instance, we may sum
mon to our aid hypothetical pulieys In
which friction has no existence, and by q
succession Of such pulleys we can, by pull
ling a rope through distance OF loo leeo,
raise 100 pounds to the height of one foot
without exerting stronger pull upon the
rope than would be required to lift sin
gle pound to the height of one foot. Inc
element of time is generally left out OF
consideration in such calculation, the
actual work done being the only matter
thought about.
A few rough estimates OF the energy ex-
pressed in this way required for executing
certain tasks reveal some curious results.
Assuming an average condition Of roads 1t
is rcckoned that walking one mile Is equiv
alent to lifting 1719 tons to the height of
cne foot; walking four miles requires four
times as much energy, and is equivalent
to lifting 20 tons to the height of one foot.
Carrying 60 pounds distance of four
miles is considered to require 100 foot
tons of energy, and this affords conven-
lent sort of unit for dealing with the energy
required for bigger tasks.
A peddler in the course Of a days work
is supposed on the average to exert some
thing like 800 foot tons of energy, a dock
laborcrs efforts are currently put down at
325 foot tons, day. labor at pile driving
requires 332 foot TONS and a payer in the
course of days labor puts forth as much
Of one foot, or one ton to the height of 352
feet
A days work for an ordinary laborer is
estimated at from 800 to 400 foot tons, this
being very hard work. Turning winch
pretty steadily all day long is the equiva-
lent Of something like 375 foot tons, while
convict is generally let off with the ex-
pendture of about 80 foot tons per day.

CONCERNING PRIDE.
Pride OF Intelligence, Pride Of Appear
ance and Many Other Sorts.

l have been engaged upon a serious
problem lately, but one which is seeming
ly so simple that every one should be able
to solve it. l have been trying to define
pride What is pride, anyhow? There are
so many things that we call pride which
cannot possibly pass muster as the real ar
tiCio. Again, we have been taught all our
lives that nothing that is false can be real
and yet we are day by day brought in con-
tact with an existing condition which we
denominate false pride. Here il a para
COX, surely
There are pride of birth, pride of being
pride Of Intelligence and pride of q thou
sand of other things of about equal i'm
porUance, but the grouping of them all
brings Inc back to the original question.
What is pride? To be proud one must have
something to be proud of, and hence pride
is appreciation, and it is only when that
sense of appreciation is well directed that
it possesses the ring of quality. When
men and women neglect duties through
SOME mistaken sentiment of possible criti-
cism or of probable self humiliation, real
or fancied, the sentiment which actuates
them, or rather which stands in the way
OF their activity, is not pride; it is conceit
l do not believe that pride can be qualified
1t seems to me that it must be as inc
vidual as a mountain or tree and that
It's existence is dependent solely upon the
honest worth of the person in whom it
uwells.
My observation has given me the con-
viction that, no matter how seriously men
and women of the world deceive Others,
they invariably deceive themselves more,
and the cause of this is too frequently
through the mistaken notion of pride. We
never deceive others until we first deceive
ourselves. 1t would not appear necessary
TO misrcpresent anything TO a second or
third person if it were not that we want to
convince ourselves that the misrepresenta-
ton is the result of something which we
should have accomplished or which We
may yet do, and here we are influenced by
that quality of conceit which breads crit
cism and which is willing to humiliate
itself for word or two Of praise. 1t is al
ways self deception first. York Re

Vegetable Rennets.

Those who would like to make cheese on
a very small scale are often troubled to get
proper rennet to produce coagulation of
the milk. A scientist says that if The
leaves of the common butterWort are
placed in strainer and the milk fresh
from the cow is poured over it, the milk
will soon become thick and has most
delicious flavor. The yellow bedstraw also
possesses the properties Of curdling milk,
and the natives of Cheshire prefer it as a
rcnnet to all other sorts. The leaves ard
flowers are put in the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads of the garden artichoke also
possess the property Of coagulating milk.
In view of the carelessness sometimes noted
in people who prepare rennet in the ordi-
nary fashion, this vegetable rennet is worthy
of attention. The leaves, properly cleaned
und prepared, would be very much safer
and more hygienic than animal substances

SLlIBlTLlNGBY'S COLANDERS.
A Recollection of Old Times In Storkville
Center, VT,

SIN Broadway the other day" said Colo
mel Calliper, Il met my old friend Co
lumbus Slilbitlingby of Storkville Center,
Vt. Years ago Mr. Slilbitlingby kept a
tin store in Storaville Center, and made
pretty much all the tinware that was used
for miles around. 1t was in this business.
IN fact, that he laid the foundation of his
present very comfortable fortune, and it
was while he was thus engaged that he
turned to profitable account a power that
so far as l know had never been similarly
employed
ABOUT mile and three-quarters out of
Starkville Center there was then a piece of
swampy land that was famous all around
that region for its mosquitoes. Maybe there
never were any mosquitoes that were fierc-
er, or more tenacious in attack, or that had
sharper and stronger drills In those days
tin working machinery had not been
brought to its present admirable stage OF
perfection The making, for instance, OF
such things Is colanders ard other strain
erS, things fun OF holes, was far more
difficult and laboriOus work than now, and
the remarkable thing that Mr.. Slilhitling.
by did was to utilize the boring power OF
the mosquitoes to drill the holes in these
Strainers
He used to take tin blanks and marx
the holes on them from a pattern, and then
touch each of the spots with something
known only to himself that was great
attraction to the mosquitoes, and when he
had got lot Of the blanks marked he
would take them out to the swamp and
lay them down in the mud. 1t wouldn't
be minute before every spot on every
plate would have mosquito drilling at it,
and once started a mosquito would rarely
let up. With the mosquitoes well known
pertinacity it would keep right on boring
until it had bored through into the mud
below.
In the morning Mr. Slilbitlingby would
gather up the blanks, or STEAMERS as they
were then, and take them back to the shop
and finish them up. Thered be now and
then II hole not bored quite through. and
occasionally one that had to be made lit
tie bigger, but even with this work re
naming to be done upon them the mos
quito bored strainers could be produced
far cheaper than those made entirely by
hand
profitable as this method was for a
time, however. the time caInc when it was
no longer profitable, when machine made
strainers could be made even cheaper vet.
and thereafter Alr. Slilbitlingby supplied
his customers with modern strainers only.
But there are still in use in s;t0rtville Cen.
