The Care of Water Boilers.

The officers of the Oregon claim that
her tremendous exploit in running that
never TO be forgotten race against time
in order to be in at the death of the
Spanish fleet is to a certain extent
traceaDle to the fact that salt water
was never allowed in her boilers.
There have been many discussions pro
and con on the advisability of using
salt water. One old engineer declares
that if he could run his boilers with
rain water they would outlast the men
who run them. Be that as it may,
there surely is some fault in the man
agement of boilers when they give out
so quickly. There are various COM
pounds that are recommended for use
in boilers. but most of them have some
strong alkaline ingredient. which is
never good for metal of any kind. 1t
would be well to experiment with rain
water with view to ascertaining its
value for such uses. Tanks and eaten
pans might be expensive. but once ar
ranged they are what one might call
fixed property, if they save the value
of few boilers every year. they would
give excellent returns for the money
invested in their equipment

killed at least seven men. The old
preacher denies this; he acknowledges
the errors of his youth, but says that
he never killed that many. AS to the
number of men that have bit the dust
at his hands he is silent.
The Rev. Mr.. KeStersOn was not only
a bad man in his youth, but continued
to defy the law until about 80 years
ago, when he Joined the Baptist
church, and began preaching. Until
he reformed he ran a mOonshine still
on Walkers ridge, and woe betide the
revenue officers that dared modest him.
In fact, it is said that no revenue Of
ficer ever bothered him much, he was
so we'll known, and they knew his
deadly aim. Now, however, since his
conversion, quite a change has come
over him. He does everything that he
can to break up lawlessness. and is
death TO the moonshiners.
When not preaching in the different
schoolhouses he farms He works
hard, though getting along in years,
gives his money to the poor and needy,
and lives a happy life. He would not
be taken for a man over 90 He is an
inveterate chewer and smoker. For 70
years he has lived alone in Single

Best CoIorS for Soldiers Uniforms.

Scarlet, it has always been supposed
was the worst color possible for the
purposes of the battlefield. says an
English paper. 1t has been said so
with much frequency, indeed, that no.
body of late years has cared to dispute
the fact. We owe it tc some very
practical experiments carried out in
Germany that the question has now
been put on more satisfactory basis.
A squad of ten men, two dressed in
light grey, two in dark grey, two in
scarlet, two III blue and two in green.
were lately ordered to march across an
open country. Their movements were
closely watched. The first men to dis
appear were those in light grey. i'm
mediately afterwards the scarlet, then
the dark grey, and finally the blue and
green Here we have all the WORKOUT
theories upset. Experiments carried
out on the rifle range showed that our
national colors possesses even distinct
merits. The idea was this time 10
ascertain which color gave the worst
mark for the rifle. Twenty men, all
good shots, were used for the purpose
of the experiment. After they had
fired a given number OF rounds. il was
discovered that scarlet was far the
most difficult color 10 hit. For every
miss at the other colors, there was
three in favor Of scarlet.

even at the present time, despite the
