A Monster Engine.

Visitors to the American section OF
the Paris exposition will see besides
the superb exhibit of the Baltimore &
Ohio and the industrial exhibit of the
Hooking Valley road, an exhibit o.
the most powerful locomotive in the
world. The engine, which now is in
the course of construction at the Pitts
burg locomotive works, will be sent to
the French capital in sections, and Sc
lected Pittsburg mechanics will place
II in working order condition before
the eyes Of exposition visitors.
It is said that the boiler of the mon
ster tractive machine will be one of
the greatest mechanical wonders of
the age, and to the foreigners who
will VISIT the big fair it is expected to
lend much additional prestige to Am
eriean mechanical ingenuity. In size,
weight, tractive force, heating surface
and boiler capacity the engine will
have no peer The smallest ring of
the boiler measures eighty-six inches
in diameter. and the entire contri-
vance is rolled from one-ineh steel
plates, making two inches at the laps,
which are double riyeted and designed
Tor a steam pressure of 225 pounds to
the square inch. Engineers believe
that a larger boiler would be i'm
practicable for railway service.

of any vessel afioat in armament
power and destructive possibilities
Although literally a floating fortress
the Kearsarge has really a beautiful
model, and sets in the water like 2
yacht. This, according to the current
number OF Golfers Weekly, is partly
due to the extent of her upper works
The Kearsarge is 1868 feet long, 72 feel

water with all her stores and ammuni-
ton aboard, including her coal sup.
ply, which is 1900 tons. or enough tc
allow her to cross the Atlantic and
back at moderate speedo without re-
coaling.
She carries four of the heaviest guns
ever placed on a man of war--l2-inch
rifles. which will throw projecticle
further than those OF the Indiana oil

battery are fourteen 5-inch rapid-fiT
guns. The secondary battery consists
of twenty 6-pounders and four machine
guns, whileher torpedo equipment con-
sists of four tubes. two on each side
At one broadside, this vessel can dis

projectiles every ten seconds.
The Kearsarge has side armor belt

When a Girl Says "No. "

1t used to be the fashion for man
to blow his brains out wnen his pro-
posal met with a rejection, but that
went out with powder and patches,
says Home Chat. The modern lover,
as a rule walks away and ends by mar
rying someone else.
Perhaps this may be the better plan
for if his proposal has been made in
the heat of the moment calm refiec-
tion which comes with rejection shows
him how much more miserable he
would have been in the future If hel
mo" had been Yes" instead.
But man who is really in love
will do well to propose once more af-
ter a rejection. A woman very ofter
does not realize the value of thing
till she has lost it, And if she see:
that the man she has rejected seems
able to exist without her she may fal
in love with him from sheer perversits
There are plenty of very ideal mar
riages to be seen en- all SIDES Wnlcr
have begun with mo" and ended witt
Yes" And both the husband ant
wife will not fail to tell you that they
are very glad it all ended as it did.
But this was only in cases where thu
man was perfectly certain that she
was the one woman in the world fol
him, and that without her life would
not havebeen worth living, and tha
he ignored her mo" because he wa!
so certain of this.
If he wasn't sure of this he hal bet
ter taken her mo" as final. and re
joicced all the days of his life that sht
said it, as to marry the wrong woman
is a deed that any sane man will nevei
live TO rejoice at
