TRYING ON THE NERVES,
Conditions Under Which Naval En-
sineers Now Do Duty.
From Cassier's Magazine.


During the dozen or more years in which
fighting vessels have been changing into
their present forms much has been said
about the dangers and responsibilities that
the development has brought to the en-
gineering staff. In even the largest of the
older types of warships the post of the
engineer was on q working platform over
the horizontal cylinders, and nearly if not
quite. as high as the level of the berth
deck. Above him was a large hatch or
trunk, wide open to the spar deck through
which he could see the sky and hear all
that was doing in the management of the
ship. 1t also supplied him with fresh air,
sometimes too literally when sails overhead
were set. as the writer recalls many in
stances of wearing an overcoat on an en-
gine room watch. No water-tight bulk
heads or air locks interrupted the unity of
the power plant; the engineer from his
station commanded an unobstructed view
OF the hre room, we'll as of the engines
ano he could reach any part of his domain
with his voice. In the final emergency es-
cape from engine and fire rooms was quick
ly and easily made by ladders, extending
to the upper decks.
All that has been changed. Water-tfght
bulkheads, air-tight fire rooms and battle
matches have transformed the engineers
place of duty into a number of steel cells,
almost as inaccessible, one from another, as
though they were in different toWnships
Instead of one big engine room, there are
now two, three and even four each in its
own water-tfght compartment, and the big
street.-The fire room into which the sun
light used to shine. has given place to as
many as eight narrow black holes, cased in
from all the world.
Even the long shaft alley that was the
comfortable home of the grizzed old-fash-
ioned fireman, whose passing we regret. has
become two or three steel-locked dungeons
into which one cannot enter without in
stinctively making sure that rapid escape is
possible. The engineer longer has his
duties under control of his own eve and
voice, but must fret his nervous system by
depending upon the action of sIibordinates
whom he can direct in an imperfect man
ner only through system of eommunica-
ton as complicated as city telephone ex-
ment.

EGG-SHAPED CHURCH.
Place of Worship in Buffalo Will
Wonderful Acoustic Properties.
From the New York Press.

There are two churches in the world
built on the model of an egg. The second
one has just been finished and dedicated in
Buffalo, y. Y 1t is the property of the
German Evangelical Association, and stands
in East Utica street The model from
which the church was built is an ancient
English church, and il embodes the ideas
Of the National Acoustic Association. which
oval, or. more properly speaking. elliptical,
in outline possesses qualities that i'm
possible TO any other form.
This church is a good deal of a marvel in
the matter OF conveying sound. 1t is a
phonograph and has the faculty of talking
almost without aid. With the preacher at
orr end Of the foci of the eliipse and the
audience before hlm he can make himself

at the National. 1T does not quite
equal the days twenty or twenty-five years
ago when the cattle men of Texas owned
estates as large many of the principal
tiles of Europe, upon which they lived like
kings. In those days the cattle men went
to their annual conventions in St Louis
Kansas City and Denver in private cars
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
changed hands in poker games on these
trips. But while those days have not come
back again the ranches of west Texas are
doing well The cattle men from Cisco.
and Clarendon and West Tolerodo are in
good shape. Those of the upper Panhandle
from Hamarillo TO Texline are also in a
good condition. The sheep country down
