The gill openings, the mouth and the

Between the lower jaw there is broad,
fat plate, made up of many smaller
plates, which run from each side for
ward and meet at an angle. The tip Of
this plate projects slightly out Of the

similar fiat plate. The two plates form
a pair of millstones, between which the

small shell-bearing animals, crabs aud
dead fishes. The movements of this
creature through the water are interest
ing. Having no broad tail, like an or
binary fish, to propel it, It depends on
its broad fins. These it flaps slowly up
and down, and so the animal goes fly
ing through the water as bird does
through the air. But they skim along
quite rapidly, and when alarmed they
quickly disappear. Standing recently
on a pier at town in Florida saw a
number of these rays swimming about.
Some of them were secured by throwing
a harpoon into them. They are beauti-

spots.

now and then see ray perhaps five or
more feet wide, leaping from the water

From 500 pounds of steam engine to
the horsepower to ten pounds is the
record made by mechanics and engine
builders during the last l5c years.
Prof. Langley, who recently demon
strated the fact that u steam-propelled
flying machine can really fly, says that
his steam engine weighs about ten
pounds to the horsepower. That is,
20 horsepower Langley engine
weighs but 200 pounds. Hiram S.
Maxim whitfield down iron and steel
until he made steam engine which
weighs but II to IL pounds to the
horsepower. and report comes from
Australia that Hargrave, the aeronaut,
has built a steam motor for flying
machine which weighs but 9h pounds
to the horsepower.
In coal mine near Bristol, Eng
land, says the Chicago Record, is
Newcomer steam engine which was
duty five hours day and six days in
the week, pumping water from shaft
$50 feet deep. This engine is, without
doubt, the Oldest steam user in the
world, and is of the type built by New
comen, the English blacksmith, who
was one of the first to make a prac-
teal steam engine. In fact, the New
comen engine, which was called en-

rightfully claim to be the Adam of

Nearly every animal that lives In the

bony skeleton, breathes by means of
lungs and sucllles its young, called a
"black fish," Animals like the oyster,
the clam, the mussel are called shell

far as true relationships are concerned.
the black fish is in the far away north,
the shell fish in the distant south, the
star fish in the remote east and the jelly
fish in the wide extended west.
The picture shows this ray, as It is
called, or, more specifically, this whip
ray, as seen from above. 1t looks more
like great butterfly than fish, but
the great wing-like organs at the sides.
says the Chicago Times-Herald, are the
enormously DEVELOPED PICTORIAL fins,
which reach backward nearly to the
root of the tail and forward to the eyes.
behind these fins is pair of small ven
trail fins. The tail is most remarkable,
being very long and slender and flexible.
If the ray has width of two feet the
tail may have a length of four feet.
Right at the foot of this tail, on the up
J per side, is q sting, bony organ three
or four inches long, pointing backward,
with teeth on each side, which point for
ward. When the animal is attacked it
can, by a movement of its body, thrust
this sting, or spine, into the enemy and
inflict severe and very painful wound.
Recently on the coast Of Florida, while
skinning large shark, found one Of

structure.
He estimated that the engine, work
ing with steam at pressure of 2A
pounds to the square inch, developed
a little over 50-horse power, and that it
weighed, ell told, about II tons. This
would give about 500 pounds of ma
terial to every horsepower.
The cylinder of the engine is 5H
feet in diameter and the stroke is
six feet. The cylinder is of iron, cast
in one piece, and has a conical bottom.
designed to exhaust the water. of con-
densation.
The whole weighs about six tons.
The piston moves a walking beam built
up of heavy oak timbers, bolted together
and trussed with iron rods, and the
walking beam weighs about five tons.
On each side of the walking beam
Is a wooden section of a circle.
On one section is the chain which car
ries the piston rod and on the other are
the chains which carry the three pump
sods, for the-cngine works three pumps,
each lifting water from one level to an
other.
In the bottom of the huge cylinder
are three valves. The first is circular
and serves for the introduction Of the
steam. The second is slide valve for
injecting the water which condenses
the steam, and the third is a flap valve
for exhausting the water of condensa-
ton.
The first two valves are moved by
small walking beams connected by rods
and chains to the main walking beam.
The main walking beam is SO bal
anced that the pressure Of the live stear
is just sufficient to make the piston-rod
end lighter than the pump end, and the
beam tits down on the pump side, lift
Ing the piston to the tor. Of the cylin-
der.
At the proper point and time the slide
valve permits Jet Of water to enter the
cylinder. and the steam condcnses in
stantly, making vacuum. Atmospher-
ic pressure then causes the piston tc
descend, pulling down that end of the
walking beam and lifting the pump
chains, SO that the work is actually
done by atmospheric pressure, and not
by steam.
Formerly two "haystack' boilers fur
nishcd steam to the eng ne. but 80 years
ago these ancient steam-lnal,ers wer.,
discarded and boiler of more mcder..
type Is used.
The veteran is so rickety and its joints
are SO old and stiff that the pressure
in the boiler IS never allowed to goaboye

The engineer who has charge of the
old engine told Mr.. Donkin that his
father ard grandfather preceded him as
engineers. SO that the old engine has
