and occasionally aighting upon tur-

GREAT WIND PRESSURE.
A Railway Engineers Narrow Escape
While Fncing IL Mt n 10O-Mile-
an-Hour Gait.


"Spealxing Of these new turbine boats
that are expected to travel 35 and 40
miles an hour" said an old Illinois Cen
tral engineer, 81 wonder if they have
properly allowed for the wind pressure.
/ know a little something about that
myself, and i tell you it's pretty seri-
ons matter. A wind that blows 40 miles
an hour is a good, stiff breeze, and the
weather bureau calls 60 miles a gale.
So, II you run n boat 40 miles an hour
through n stationary atmosphere you
are bound TO stir up quite a breeze for
yourself, and if you should be running
into a 3O-lsnot wind you would have the
stiffest kind Of a gale blowing about
your decks. In other words, half the
time a man couldn't work unprotected
on the deck. Unless he is behind a
wind shield, he would be whisked away
like a thistle down and even II he could
stick to the ship he couldn't breathe.
"The company had me studying
steam at one time, and / got to know
considerable about wind pressures. /

the cylinder, and IL kept track Of the
steam all the way through. / used TO

what the engine was doing and what re-
suits we were getting. OF course, i had

cording to circumstances. The worst

POprLAR MAY IRWIN-

May Irwin is one Of the most popu-
lar actresses on the American stage.
Her position Is unique, inasmuch as
her peculiar talent appeals not only to
the cultured theatregoer, but to the
shifting mass Of amusement seek
ers, whose patronage has the power to
make a season a financial success or
failure. Audiences are proverbially
fickle, and American audiences are no
exception to the rule, but with Miss
Irwin the tide of popular approval has
mover turned. Each recurring season
she returns to the cities she plays year
ly and receives an enthusiastic well
come, the welcome Of an actress who
never disappoints her audiences. 1t is
true that May Irwin can lay claim to an
extraordinary personal magnetism
She has a thorough knowledge OF stage
effect and she has a keen intuition OF
the wants OF an audience; but beyond
all else she is a worker of indefatigable
energy She leaves nothing TO chance.
and from the time she made her first
appearance on the stage she has be.
lieved in but one thing-hard and con-
seientious work. Plenty of this has
been put In on her production OF isis

ARMY oFFICERscALLE "MR. y
None of Them Get Their OmciaI titles
Until They Reach the Rank
of Captain.

People who are not versed in matters
of army usage often ask why certain
army Officers are addressed as Mister" 4"
and not by their titles. To the men
who enter the service from West Point
the custom is web understood, because
they know that, no matter how much
authority they may have, or how gay
their uniform may be, they are sim
ply "misters" until they wear two bars
on their shoulder straps. A recent oc-
currence in the Army building illus
trated the matter. a man who had
been field officer in the volunteer serv-
ice in the war with Spain had been ap-
pointed to a lieutenancy in the new
volunteer army, and called at one Of
the Offices of the headquarters on a
matter Of business. There the officer
in charge presented him TO a United
States army officer.
Maj. Blank, allow me to present Mr..
Smith-Mr. Smith, Mai Blank"
The volunteer officer limited in a mod
est way, when the major had with
drawn, that it. might have been we'll
to let the fact be known that he also
was an army officer. "Oh, that's all
right" said the officer who had acted
as host, everybody is mister until he is
captain"
Even in service the first and second
keutenants are addressed as mister"
by officers of higher rank. The Gus
tom is so general that it is not unusual
for lieutenants in the regular service
TO have their visiting cards engraved
with the Mr." prefixed, thus:

THE UNITED GLOBE HINES.
Improvements rlade and others Con. templated. Increased output
 of Copper.

The past two months has witnessed many changes about tho works of tho United Globe Mines, al in the direc. ton of improvement and an increased output of copper. Two furnaces are now in blast, the dimensions of which are! one, 3Sx96, and of the other 42x l2O. The blast is furnished by two No. 2 Counersville blowers, one of winch, with the engine to run it. was installed about two weeks ago. The big furnaces eat up the ore very fast, to supply which keeps the large mine force busy, as we'll as the Bleichart wire rope tramwsy to deliver 1t. Ar. rivals of coke aud coal have been heavy and the fuel bins are we'll filled.
 A new and novel arrangement for for ssviug tLe Aue dust. (the invention of Superintendent E. H. Cook is soon to be added at the smelter. It consists of cylindrical "taks-down," or dust chamber, 72 feet long and feet in di- ameter. to be placed horizontally ou the smelter roof, immediately back of the stacks and connected with them by three-foct pipes. The tops of the stacks will be closed and the smoke will thus be forced into the take down in which the dust will be collected, and carried by Jeffrsys conveyor to one end of the dust chamber, aud fall into Mansfield brick press, on the feed floor, and be compressed into brick ettes, to be fed into the furnaces. By this means it is expected to save prsc- tically all the fine ore and fiue dust.
 At the mines work is being prosecut- ed with vigor. A large holster for the Hoosier shaft and Worthington triple expansion pump. with two Sterling water tube boilers. each 100 b. p, are among the additions to the plant to be made at an early day.
 The arrangement of the railway tracks over the fuel bins and in front of the slag dump, add greatly to the con- veuience in delivering fuel and other freight. An S0-ton Howe scale, placed on the iailrond track, opposite the slnelter, is about ready for use.
 Tue company now employs more than 450 men and with the enlarge. msnt Of operations, the force is being increased from week to week.

EASTER SUNDAY.

Brands Popular Antiquities says that Easter. according to Wheatley, is 80 called from the Saxon "oster," to rise, being the day of ChrIst's resurrection; {; or as others think, from one of the Saxon go llesses called Easter. whom they always worshipped at this season.
 It was formerly popular custom to rise early on this day and walk into the fields to see the sun dance, which, as ancient tradition asserts, 1t always does on this day. "Nhvther any such motion there was on that day wherein Christ arised, Scripture hath not re- vealed, which had been puuctual in other records concerning miiacles," says Sir Thomas Browne. There ouoe existed a method of making au ariii- cial sundauce on Easter, by agit ,ting the water in vessel, in wLicl the reflected sun seemed to dance.
 AS religious festival Easter Is next In importance to Christn IS, aul is a joyous occasion, marking the close of the Lenten season, and comneluurat- ing the resurrection of Christ. Elow- CTS are employed in profnsiou, us em- blems of the resurrection and tue use of Easter eggs has the same meaning.
