Why Re Left the Stare.

There is in Philadelphia man who
abandoned the theatrical profession be-
cause he could not lift Fanny Daven-
port. He was member CT one of the
local stock companies about 20 years
ago, when Miss Davenport came to
Philadelphia with one of the men of
ner company sick. She applied to the
manager of the theater in which the
young man referred to was employed
lor some one to take the sick man 8
place, and as the young actor was not

MISS Davenport IN his arms and carry

considerably more than he did, and
when be attempted to pick her up he
found that his strength was not equal

audience to laugh. and that spoiled a

why poesn,t the boiler BurstY

What tremendous force is struggling
to tear boiler to atoms! Take, for ex-
ample, horizontal tubular boiler of
ordinary proportions, 60 inches in di-
nmeter by 16 feet long, containing
eighty three 1 inch tubes. Such boiler
has o surface area of 40, TIC square
inches.
Suppose this boiler is operated with a
working pressure of 100 pounds per
square inch, which is not at all uncom-
mon. The boiler therefore sustains to.
tai pressure of 4,071, 600 pounds, OF
more than Q, 0S5 tons.
Do we realize what this means? The
boiler has resting upon it the equivalent
of a column of granite 10 feet square
and 254.5 feet high, or, to put it another
way, the boiler is holding up the equiv
alent weight of 22,371 persons, each
weighing 1872 pounds.
The best authorities agree that the
ordinary draft horse, working eight
hours day, exerts an average force
during that time of 100 pounds.
Now, this force acting to disrupt the
boiler longitudinally is 226, geo pounds,
SO that to produce an equivalent stress
it would be necessary to hitch up to ths
ends Of the boiler two teams Of ], 1885
horses altogether. Strand Magazine.

Ran and Caught the Car.

A short man with fat, red face ran
out of the Erie railroad depot at the
foot of West Twenty third street the
other forenoon and chased crosstown
car which was midway between Elev-
enth avenue and the ferry He was q
fast runner and held his hat III his left
hand as he gained on the car. The pas
sengers on the rear platform. in a spirit
of mirth, encouraged him:
Don't give up. You'll make it.
Make a squirt, old boy. This is your
last chance Co get car before two min
utes, y one of them Eaid.
At Eleventh avenue he caught up,
and. perspiring profusely, sprang upon
the rear platform. He appeared happy.
and when he handed his fare to the con-
ductor he said: "These Blocker street
cars that run down Ninth avenue do
not go often, SO ! ran to catch this one. I"
The conductor rang up the fare, and in
matter of fact way answered:
This car goes to Thirty fourth street
ferry. Get out and wait for Blocker
street car. y
The sprinter got off as some of the
passengers cried ont:
You can run anyway. 1t is better

MAKING READY FOR A RUN.
Locomotive Is Almost Carefully
Groomed as Race Horse.

Groomed as a Race Horse.
Running the Fast Express is the
title of an article by George Ethelbert
Walsh in st. Nicholas. Mr.. Walsh says:
The engineer comes down to bis post
of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave. All night long in
the roundhouse the engine has been
carefully watched wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing, snorting iron horse until every rod
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going, SO
that q little steam has been always in
the boxes, and before he left at night
the fireman put everything in perfect
order inside the cab. The fireman ap-
pears first in the morning and inspects
the work of the roundhouse men, and
If any part is not satisfactory he makes
it SO. The engineer makes his inspection
after the fireman and thoroughly and
carefully examines every part. All the
bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups
are filled with OIL Next the engine Is
run out of the roundhouse and tested.
Fifteen minutes before the time to start
the engine is coupled to the train, ana
the steam and airbrakes are tested.
No race horse was ever brought to his
post better fitted for running the course
than is the locomotive of the fast ex-
press. In addition to the tests already
made, a mechanic goes from wheel TO
wheel, and upon every one strikes q
sharp. resounding blow to ascertain IT
the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts and
bolts are examined. The engineer and
fireman are held responsible for the per-
feet condition of the engine and cars b.
fore the start is made.

Spring Hats.

the spring indications are for quiet,
rather neutral tints for round hats,

Wild Animals In Chicago.
Seems funny to hear Of hunting wild
animals in Chicago doesn't it? And
yet in the big grassy corners of the city
there are still lurking denizens of the
forests and prairies. A man in West
Ridge has made a good deal Of money
recently by trapping minks and selling
their fur. And there are weasels thar
catch his chickens. Ia the same neigh
berhood hunters have found prairie
chickens, coons that nibble the growing
corn and lots of rabbits and ground hogs.
And it was only last summer that a
Chicago farmer shot an African hyena
in corner of bis coward; bat he
learned afterward that it had escaped
from the ZOO And thus you see that
Chicago has not yet lost ali Of the flavor
of the villa woods. Chicago Record
