tative in each house and it's synopsis of
measures before the legislature will be
found complete, and to those who are in
terested in matters before that body

will be almost Indispensable. Many i'm
portant amendments to the Revised
Codes will be proposed and enacted at
this term and taxation and revenue mat
tiers will receive special attention.

An Ohicer with Vast Responsibilities Who

From tho time, less than GO years

engineer has been rapid, but he is the

above all others, has kept pace with the
developments of this fast speeding age,
and he stands today the most finished
product Of a century that has created
more new types and moro new occupa-
tions than any that has preceded it, The
marine engineer today is more impor-
tant than any deck officer, but his inn
portance is as little recognized by tn.

Cealed from the view OF those who trav-

regulates her internal economy is the
brain Of the marine engineer His is

MR.. RUST GETS A LETTER.
Delayed Because Addressed to Him Under
His Chemical Name.

AS cIrious a letter as hns been re-
ceived in Kansas City for many mouths
reached the postofiice recently, and after
a great display Of learning on the part
of some Of the clerks it was finally de-
livered to the man for whom it was in
tended. The distributing clerk who first
got hold Of the letter looked at il in
despair. 1t was plainly evident that the
writer Of the letter had been burning
the midnight oil in an attempt to battle
the postofiico force.
The first line contained the letters
81. S. FE2O3. " The letters were plain
enough, but what did they mean? The
next line began with a large A, then
there was a carefully executed drawing
Of what had the appearance of bar
hers comb, then a small a, and finally
a representation of a house. drawn by
one whose early education had been sad
ly neglected.
What should have been the third line
Of the address was in the shape of a
more or less accurate map Of Kansas
City, showing the junction Of the streets
in that vicinity The last lire was an
other map, showing the boundaries of
the state of Missouri.
1t was plain enough that the letter
was for some one who lived in the state
of Missouri and in Kansas City. It did
not take Il great stretch Of imagination
to discover that the comb and the sketch
Of house had some vague reference tC
the Acoma building. So far it was easy
sailing, but who was the mysterious 81.
$. FE2O35"
After puzzling his brain for n long
time, without any good result, the clerk
took the letter to Night Clerk Garfield
who is supposed to be able to guess al
sorts of conundrums.
81 can tell you part Cf il, " said he
81 can tell you that 'FE2O3' arc th,
chemical symbols for foiric oxide. nov
if you can find out who he is you are al
right "
Still the distributing clerk was unable
to solve the question. He went abou
asking every one what he knew abou
feiric oxide he finally encountered oni
man who was moro of chemist than
the others, and he impaired TO him th
information that ferric oxide in common
parlanco is called trust. "
That is how j. S. Rust received tn
letter over which his friend in Concep
tion, Mo, had spent so much time. -

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Conveniences.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical convenienoes.
In two Of the museums Of old Rcman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle Of the water tube, the crown
ing feature Of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 1000
years ago. Mr.. W. T. Bonner of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be as inter
esting as they are beautiful One of
them consists Of an oater she'll 10
inches in diameter and nearly II inches
high, surmounted by a somewhat hcmi-
spherically shaped top. Inside this shell
is an internal Cylinder, also having a
hemispherical top which is 10 inches
in diameter and 2 inches high Tho
two shells are connected at the bottom
by rim, like tho mud ring of loco
motive firebox and the space between
them was filed with water The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and solderod or
brazed. These tubes open at both ends
into the bottom of the space between
the shells, thus forming a water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed ON the CRATE
through an opening A. g inches high aud
inches wide, closed by beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tnbcs cross
ing from tho inner TO tho outer she'll
about D.. 6 inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about -
inches on tripod so rs TO allow air to
reach the fuel In another boiler Of
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form Of an urn, while the inner
shell rises from a water tube grato TO
an opening in the side. It is - inches
in diameter at the widest part, l7.G
inches high and supported on tripod
about inches high It's general shupe
is much like that of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, of course, it is much
larger and has q top closed by 4 lid. Il
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as well as water, which sugges-
tion appears reasonable, as many his.
torians state that the Pompeiians made
great use Of hot drinks Il may be that
they were found in one Of the termpodi
or cafes, Of which there were several ir

ed by DTdalus, but, according to

made an iron instrument i'm imita-
Of it. The saw is represented on
monuments Of Egypt from 250O to
