Watt, the great improver OF the
steam engine, introduced into the vo-
cabulary of machinists the term borsa-
power. When he first began the man
ufacture of steam engines, he experi-
enced much difficulty in ascertaininy
from his distant customers what sized
engine they required, and they were
not less puzzled how to Communicate
to him the information. He was FREE
quently guided, however, by their
mentioning the number of horses
which the engine ordered was design
ed to replace. Acting upon this hint
he ascertained by experiment that tha
very strongest of the London brewers,
horses (animals of wonderful size ana
strength), could exert force eouivn-
lent to raising $4,000 pounds one foot
minute This force he called one
horse power, and adopted II as the
standard in regulating the size Of
steam engines. Now, not one horse

ish soldier Of today. These guns ar
made at the English ordnance factory
at Enfield Lock, which was also the
birthplace Of the Lee-Metford maya
zine rifle. The recent relntroduction
OF the triangular bayonet into the Eng
lish service arose from peculiar
cause. It was based on an incident
which occurred at the battle of At
bara. An English soldier had vigor-
ously bayoneted dervIsh, but, to his
disgust, found that he could not with
draw his weapon, Its shape rendering
1t peculiarly liable to be retained. So
the old bayonet was abolished and the
triangular bayonet reintroduced.

manning Wednesdays of this month and
March, the Saturdays of April, and Easter
Monday, the proceeds to be secured in this

IN AID OF THE POOR.
Efforts OF Charity Organisations to
Meet the Demands.

The continued cold weather has been Sc
verely felt among the poor. and applica-
tons for relief were numerous today. 1t
is hoped the temperature will moderate,
and that the worst will be over in a day
or two. The number of men put to work
on the streets yesterday and today has
been great help to the charity agents.
Saturday all the men found out of en-
ployment, whose families were in need,
were given notes to the superintendent of
the street cleaning department. and yes
terday morning a large number of them
were put to work
Something over 200 applications for aid
were received at the various branch offices
of the Associated Charities Saturday, but
most of the cases had been known to the
agents heretofore and could be attended
to promptly. The new cases were investi-
gated during the afternoon and relief given
where it was found to be needed. There Is
still need for additional contributions.
A white woman appeared al the George
town office Saturday, it is said. and re-
lated a sad story of restitution. She claim
ed to live on Fowler's HILL having come to
the city only few months ago from one
OF the counties in lower Maryland. The
woman claimed to have two children. both
boys of tender ages, and she was with
out anything to eat. she said, the family
having tasted nothing for some hours The
woman answered every question satiSfac-
torily. The agent in charge of the Of
flee, Mrs. kirwan, announced that she
would send relief to the house. The wo-
man was anxious to take it herself, but
this was refused. The suspicious of Mrs
kfrwan were aroused. and she made a spe-
ciaf trip in the snow storm to the extreme
outskirts of Georgetown, where FOwler's
Hill is located, only to find that the woman
was fraud No family by that name
could be found living in the little settle
ment, which was recently brought into no
tce through the killing of Sergeant Pas
sau.
A number of appeals for aid have been
made by persons in circumstances requir
ing charitable assistance to Sergeant An
derson at the Anacostia police station. In
some instances citizens have interested
themselves in these cases. From the coun-
try about Giesboro' there are great drifts
of snow reported, and in Prince Georges
county travel is said to be impeded by
large drifts.
