whose perfection has cost more unpaid la
Dor than the rotary engine, or steam tur-
bine as it is usually called. Its perfection
has at last been successfully accomplished,
however, by Mr.. Charles A. Parsons, an
English engineer, whose engines for sew
eral years have been successfully operat-
ing various plants in England. The build
ing of the yacht Turbinia, which ran for
ty miles an hour last year, drew public
attention to the invention, and now the
applications of the new engine are so rap
idly increasing that it behooves every one
to learn something about its construction
and operation. An article giving this in

varied the routine. Owing to the success
of the herring fishery, sixty-five fisher
men were invited to ''sea pie' feast
A pie weighing over $50 pounds, which
took seven hours to cook, was provided.
1t was three decker. At the bottom was
beef and bones, then layer of crust,
over which was placed beef, pork, liver
and kidneys. Then came another deck of
dough, on which were potatoes, onions
and more meat, and finally the whole was
rooted in with a crust several inches thick.
This is all right, but why not take their
own ''medicine?' Eating meat pie is not
a very good recommendation for their
own industry 1t should have been a
fish pie, or at least there should have
been some fish pies served up on such an
