RISING TO THE OCCASION.
why IA Toy Lights Carriage. Lamps Near
Prospect Park.
Light yer lamp, sir?"

Light Yer lamp, sir?"
The hail is not to bicyclists, but to
drivers who approach Prospect Park
just before sunset, and 1t is made by Il
little chap that has started to earn Il
little money in a new way. says the
New York Times. The park commits
%sioner's order that all carriages in the
park after dark must carry lighted
lamps Is enforced. and the %youngster
has sized up the situation to the extent
of knowing that some persons are ig-
uorant and others are careless in re-
gard to the order and that all men do
not carry matches. Whenever he sees
a carriage approaching without n light
he runs alongside and halls the driver.
and the chances are that the driver will
pull up and allow the boy to light the
lamp. The driver of a restless horse
appreciates the little service rendered
and tips accordingly. The tips vary
from a penny to ten cents, the latter
being too much for the service and due
generally to lack of smaller change. If
a oma is driving the boy il almost
sure of n job, because he knows that
unless she Is a bicyclist she Is not like
~ TO have matches about her clothes.
"lm the only one in the business" he
exclaimed. land I've been in It only n
few weeks. How much do ! make?
Sometimes 80 cents; sometimes half a
dollar. Yer see, the regular drivers
know they've got to have lights, and II
they start ont just before dark they
light mp at the stables or the sheds
down the road. I've got to strike the
drivers that don't know about the order
and those that thought they could get
through before dark. Yer see, too, IL

MUSCLE VS.. MACHINERY.
Facts showing the Man rower u Modern
Prime Mover Represents.

What a puny thing is muscular pow
or, whether animal or human, when
compared with the vast efforts eXcrtcd
nowadays by machinery was illustrated
recently by an English scientist, Sir
Frederick Bramwell. Contrasting n
galley, for cXample-a vessel propelled
By oars-with a modern Atlantic liner,
and assuming that prime movers were
nun-existent, and that this vessel was
to be propelled after galley fashion, he
proceeded thus: Take the length OF
the vessel as coo feet, and assume that
place could be found for as many as
400 oars on each side, each oar worked
by three men, or 2,i0O men, and allow
that six men under these conditions
could develop work equal to II horse
power. We should then have 400 horse
power. Double the number Of men and
we should have 500 horse power, with
$500 men at work, and at least the
same number in reserve If the journey
is 20 be carried on continuously. Con-
trast the puny result thus obtained
with 1880 horse power given forth by
a large prime mover of the present day
such a power requiring on the above
mode of calculation ll7,00O men at
work and III GOO in reserve, and these
to be carried in a vessel less than GOO
feet in length. Even were it possible
to carry this number of men in such a
vessel, by no conceivable means could
their power be utilized so as to impart
to it a speed of twenty knots an hour.
This illustrates how a prime mover
may not only he a mere substitute for
muscular work, but may afford the
means OF attaining an end that could
not by any possibility be attained by
muscular eXertion, no matter what
money was expended or what galley
slave suffering was inflicted.
Take, again, the case of a railroad
locomotive, in which from 400 to 600
| horsepower Is developed in an imple-
ment which, even including its tender,
does not occupy an area of more than
fifty square yards, and that can attain
a speed OF more than sixty miles an
hour. Here again the prime mover
succeeds in doing that which no eX-
penditure of money or of life could
draw from muscular effort.-New YorE
Iourpol

THE SWIFT TORPEDO-EOAT.
The Many Useful Purposes II Serves In
Our Navy.

Torpedo boats, however, are designed
for IA wider service than simply to
carry and discharge the frightful weap-
on from which they take their name.
They are to the navy what scouts and
skirmishers are to a land army. They
form the cavalry of the sea, of which
the cruisers are the infantry and the
battleships and monitors the artillery
arm. They must spy out the position
of the enemy's fleet, hover about his
tanks or haunt his anchorage to ascer-
tain what he is about and what he
mean to do next. They must act as
the pickets of their own fleet, patroll-
ing the neighborhood, or waiting and
watching, concealed among islands OF
in inlets and river mouths, ready to
hasten away to the admiral with warn
ing of any movement of the enemy.
Ii is not their business to fight Tex
ccpt rarely, in the one particular way
but rather to pry and sneak ana run,
Hence they are as small and sleek and
swift as they can be made. When the
feet goes upon a cruise, they are car
ried on the decks Of the big warships
although they are able to get about In
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea Is to build them out Of
aluminium, which would be not only
Of great advantage toward ease ol
transportation, but would tend toward
increased speed, by adding %buoyancy
and elasticity to the structure, which
seems to skim along the surface and
fairly leap from wave to wave; but II
Is doubtful whether aluminium Il
strong enough for safety and whether
it will not be injured by the chemica'
action of the ea-water.-Ernest Inger.
