A MECHANICAL MARVEL.
What Sixty Miles an Hour Means to
the Locomotive.

1t all sounds simple in the recital.
The wonder of the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrous
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of modern
locomotive weigh some coo pounds.
When the speed Is 60 miles an hour,
these parts travel back and forth five
times second. Ten times second,
at the end of every stroke, the piston
head Is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to n velocity of 1880 feet per
minute In one-twentieth of a second.
The drive wheels measure more than
a rod at every revolution, but when
going GO miles an hour they must turn
more than 800 times minute.
Sixty miles an hour Is the merest
commonplace to the mind of the up
TO date railroad man, but 1t means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful to the outsider. 1t
means steam pressure blow of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
of second. 1t means that up in the
cab the fireman Is throwing into the
furnace two-thirds of ton OF coal
every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine 1t. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. 1t means that
the engine with its half dozen cars and
load of human freight is moving
through space with twice the power of
a shot from 100 ton gun. 1t means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she can use every
once of steam. that he Is coaxlng her
as Jockey urges his mount In fierce
race, and yet 1t means that he is ready
at n seconds notice to move the re-
yersing lever and apply the airbrakes
that will stop the mighty avalanche
within the distance that 1t covers as
1t stands on the tracks.-Earl W.
Mayo In Ainslee's.

Japan,s Queer stores,

Japanese are very fond of strolling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
aisles that wind through the length
of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the Sec
ond and often third story of the build
ing and then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length of the establishment many
times Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but even then you
must travel this maze several times its
length to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan. You sit around on the floor,
and in some shops they bring you cups
of tea to sip and "hibachi" from
which to light your Baltimore
Sun.

PRoPAGATlNe FISH.
Methods That Are Employed in This
Very Delicate Work.

There are two methods which are
employed by fish culturists to pro-
pagate food and game fish. One Is to
catch the yeung fish, the fry, and
transport them to other waters where
it is desired to introduce them. The
other is to strip the female fish of her
eggs and to impregnate them artificial
ly.
All the attempts that have been
made to propagate black bass by strip
ping the female of their eggs have
been failures SO far, and the only
method that can be applied to them is
TO catch the fry and nurse them till
they are strong enough to be liberated.
Other fish, notably the shad and the
salmon, are readily stripped, and the
results are wonderful, as the percent
age OF eggs that fail to hatch is exceed
ingly small.
Were either fry or eggs left to nature
only an excessively small proportion
would grow into adult fishood. Apart
from those which would die naturally
a tremendous quantity would fall prey
to the host of enemies-insects, crus-
tacea. fish, birds and mammals-that
Is waiting for the spawn, or the tiny
fish.
Any one who has handled fish fresh
iy caught knows how delicate they APP
pear to be and how quickly they die
after leaving the water. Yet the ex-
perts in the service of the various State
and of the United States fish commits
sions handle millions of the most sen
sitiye food and game fish every year,
and few of them die from the process.
The pictures here presented show the
process of handling n female salmon
that is heavy with spawn. First the
fish are led TO swim into confined
space where they can be reached with
the landing net The manipulation of
this dip net alone requires no mean
skill. Ii must not bruise the founder
Ing fish and must lift the creature in
such way that 1t does not scrape the
scales from Its sides as 1t struggles.
Wherever scale is torn from n fish.
particularly in fresh water, fungus is
almost certain to form, and that Is
generally fatal.
After the fish Is in the net the latter
is lifted carefully and the operators
hand slides downward, gently but
firmly, till it grasps the body imme
diately above the tail. Then he draws
the fish from the net and holds it head
downward. That serves to show at
once whether the fish is "ripe"-that
is, whether the eggs have reached that
stage of development which permits
of stripping. II the fish is perfectly
ripe the eggs sink toward the head If
the fish is found satisfactory the oper-
ator places pan between his legs and
holds the fish firmly in his arm. With
the right hand he encircles the salmon
just back of the gills, and, squeezing
the fish gently. slides the hand down
toward the tail. when the eggs spout
into the pan. They are hard then and

WINGS OF THE HONEYBEE.
A Microscopic View of One of Ma

Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.
At a meeting Of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited, besides other
things, the honeybee's wing. showing
the booklets by means of which the
lower of the two wings of the bee is
Joined to the upper wing in flying. thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper of the two wings Is about
half an inch in length. the lower n little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into its hive, 1t folds its wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
1t goes abroad, 1t spreads It's wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
seen to be REINFORCED as though it had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within total space of little
more than quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There is n little thickening at the base
of each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into a fiange or trough.
When the bee comes out of the hive, 1t
hooks the hooks ON the upper edge of
the lower wing into that tiange ortrough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and SO makes the two wings practical

Later, after they have been in the
Matching frames for n time, they get
larger and softer, having absorbed
much water. After the eggs have
been drawn from the female fish she
is placed back into the water, none the
worse for her trials. Then the milt
from ripe male fish Is pressed into
the pan In the same way. and the I'M
pregnated eggs are ready TO be hatch
ed.
Under favorable conditions ninety
days Is the period of incubation for the
grand land-locked salmon, one of the
finest game fishes in the world. and
hardly inferior to any as food fish.
The first sign of life in the eggs is the
formation of n little eliot, generally red
or pink, which increases with remark
able rapidity, until in "A few days the
complete form of a little fish Is plain
to the eye. But it is rather a hideous
little monster that wriggles out of the
egg finally. 1t resembles a fish only
because it wriggles and moves like
