Have YOU ever thought OF the dis

three miles within the hour. but that
does not by any meaI-s represent tn"
distance Won travel. The earth turns
on its axis every "a hours. For the
sake of round figures we will call the
earth's circumference $4,000 miles, and
so you must have travelled during tn"
hours stroll 900 miles in the aXial turn
of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip it is. The
distance of our planet from the SUI
we will put at %, 100000 miles. This is
the radius OF the earth's Orbit-hdlf the
diameter of the circle, as we call it.
The whole diameter is therefore 1884,
OOO. 900 miles. and the circumference be-
ing the diameter multiplied by 3.1416,
is about $4,000. 900.
This amazing distance the earth trav-
els in its yearly journey, and dividing
It by 365 we find the daily speed about
1,5S6. 900. Then, TO get the distance you
rode around the sun during your hours
walk, divide again by -. and the result
is about { 1000 miles. But this is not
the end OF your hours trip. The sun.

suits themselves are of cotton or linen

quite quickly they need frequent laun-

daintiness of appearance. Too often.
however. they are ruined by careless
washing and ironing, and are useless
thereafter.

long enough to hang a little full at the
waist. a thread is run about two inches
from the bottom. drawing the fullnGss
into the front. and this is tucked under

in place by the belt of leather or ribbon.

a VALUABLE CAT,
It Was Only a Dummy But 1t Was Full
of Gold Coins.

In Parls, yearSago, young girl named
Cosette lived in a shabby attic with her
old uncle. a rag picker. He gave her
every evidence of being very poor, and
the two had many hardships to endure
and often experienced cold and hunger.
COsetIe at length went nj to service
in the household of a tradesman in on
other part of the city. She still re-
tanned = warm affection for her Old
uncle, and every week would bring him
ii part of her wages. The rest she care
fully saved, and, before many years, she
she had a sum laid by, though it was
small. She became engaged to be mar
ried to a baker and was very happy.
But while she was planning what
weddin" clothes she should buy with the
money She had saved word came that
her uncle. the ragpicker, had died sud-
denly. alone in his garrett.
Cosctte FASTENED 10 the place, and
finding there none to care for the body
or give it burial. she lad it done at her
own cost. expanding in this way nearly
all OF her little hoard.
When her lover. the baker. heard
what she had done. he was furious 1T

marry her. Her employer also was Cis-
pleased and discharged her.
Sadly. Cosettc found her way again
10 the dcsolate attic, where she wept
bitter tears. Eut she soon col heart
again. and determined to seek another
situation.
She took a survey of the Dol 10 see

Cosette reached up and lifted this

q shower of gold pieces fell to the tioHr.
Her uncle had been Il miser. and Cor

in this strange receptacle, where he
knew they would be safe, as nc one
would ever think of treasure being con-

Cosette could scarcely believe her

MUSCLE VS.. MACHINERY.
Facts showing the Man Power a Modern
Prime Mover Represents.

Prime Mover Represents
What a puny thing is muscular power,
whether animal or human, when COM
pared with the vast efforts eXerted now
adays by machinery. was we'll illus
trated some time ago by an English
scientist. Sir Frederick Bramweil.
Contrasting a galley, for eXample-a
vessel propelled by oars-with 4 mod
ern Atlantic liner, and assuming that
prime movers were nonresident, 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
200 men, and allow that six men under
these conditions could develop work
equal to one horsepower. We should
then have 400 horsepower. Double the
number of men and we should have 500
horsepower, with 1880 men at work,
and at least the same number in re-
serve if the journey is to be carried out
continuously.
Contrast the puny result thus OBJ
tainCd with 1880 horsepower given
forth by a large prime mover Of the
present day, such a power requiring on
the above mode of calculation III, 600
men at work and III, 1000 in reserve, and
these to be carried in a vessel less than
600 feet in length. Even if it were pos
sible to carry this number of men in
such a vessel, by no conceivable means
could their power be utilized so as IL
impart to it a speed of 90 knots an hour.
This illustrates how a prime mover
may no only be a mere substitute for
muscular work, but may afford the
means of attaining an end hat 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 railway
locomotive, in which from 400 to 600
horsepower is developed in an ;mple-
ment which, even including its tender,
does not occupy an area of than
50 square yards, and that can attain a
speed of more than 60 miles an hour.
Here again the prime mover succeeds in
doing hat which no expenditure OF
money or of life could draw from mus
cular effort.-N. Y. Journal.
