MIR. Yerkes's Expensive Joke.

Mr. Yerkes in taking up the debate, said
ne mad come TO hear why the Allen law
should be repealed but he had not yet been

arguments advanced against it were: First

that it allowed the grant of a franchise for
longer than twenty years.
AS 10 the flrst count, he said it was a hard
thing to bring such a charge against the
legislature, and also the Governor of the
State. He himself would not believe siIch a
thing. This provoked laughter in which Mr.
Yerkes Joined.

needless to describe compressor. The
machine works on just the opposite prin-
ciples from the steam engine. In the lat
ter vapor already under high pressure. is
admitted to a cylinder and its expansion
pushes a piston. In the compressor a pis-
ton which is driven by some outside force,
pushes before it and squeezes into smaller
compass the air originally filling the whole
cylinder. When thus reduced in density
the air is discharged through valve into a
reservoir When very high pressures are
desired the squeezing business is divided
into three or four stages precisely as the
reverse operation is conducted in a triple
or quadrupe engine.
