Ing Money,

When you come to reckon up the
work that is done by engineers-that
which really keeps our large works
going and finds employment for our
workmen-it is what may be generally
classed as new commercial work"
says the Engineering Magazine Into
this class fall all extensions Of our rail
ways, all expansion in our fleets OF
steamers, all increases 10 our factories
workshops, mines, tramways and the
like; and the point 10 be observed in all
these is that all are simply purchased
for the purpose of making money.
In other words, they are investments.

DELUGE OF CALENDARS
Each Holiday Season Business Men
Overrun with Gift offerings
of Advertisers.

This is the season of the year when
the business man on entering his Of
flee trips over pile of calendars, finds
another bunch on his chair and has to
lift half a dozen or so before he can open
his desk. All day long queer-looking
individuals keep pokipg their unshaven
faces in at his door and dropping more
calendars On his head, his desk and his
lap until the office overfows with them
The advertising calendar habit seems
to grow with the passing of the years
Some time ago it was almapacs with
which the people were flooded at the
beginning of each new year, various pat
ent medicine proprietors issuing the lit
tie pamPh+ets setting forth the phases
of the moon and the other information
of chronological nature deemed nee
essary TO human happiness. But the
pictorial and highly-coiored calendar
has taken the place Of the almanac to a
large extent. Every insurance com

and engraving firm of any pretensons
seems to feel called upon nowadays 10

hang above the desk Of the business man
and keep the name of the firm which
sends out the calendar constantly be-
fore the eyes of the occupant and his
callers.

For more than ten years it has been

How PIucky Pete Mcdonald of thr
kiondike. Amused Himself In

Pete Mcdonald, brother OF AIexan-

few weeks ago, having been there nine
weeks with broken leg. Pete Melon
aid, though not so well known as his
brother. is rich, nevertheless, and when
he visited Portland last winter he
spread his money freely, as BELTS a
generous Klondiker. says the Seattle
News.
At the hospital beside Pete's bed, on
stand, was some $500 in $40 gold
pieces. With these he amused himself,
stacking them up and building little
heaps 10 while away the time. For
hours he would lie there. lovingly fin-
gering his gold pieces.
But the funniest feature Of II all was
the fact that Pete insisted on wearing
a $500 diamond in the bosom Of his night
shirt. The diamond was as big as the
end Of ones thumb. and its glitterinp
rays seemed TO comfort Pete as he toyed
with It in his hours Of pain. Every
night the millionaire would fasten the
diamond In the bosom Of his night shirt
before going to sleep.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
Facts from History ns to How Long
II Was known to the
Wise Men.

1t was a cloister fancy of the dark
ages that the star of Bethlehem" was
some especially created star-like body,
probably within our atmosphere. de-
signed wholly for he leading of the
wise men, says the new Lippincotts.
The law of parsimony rejects such ex-
plicatiou, and science, with silent
scorn, turns its back upon the baubie
star, for in the glorious depths of
Heaven are matchlesS orbs which,
swinging on their way into mortal
ken for awhile, meet all the demands
of poet and of prophet for the star of
the King"
History affords us data for deter
mining this wondrous star.

GROWING CROCKERY.
Rare and Beautiful Natural PhenOm-
ena which Makes China I'M
menseIy Valuable.

Recently there was sold in New York,
for no less sum than $1,000, an old
fashioned china plate of the extremely
rare kind which is known to the col
Iectors as growing crockery." From
the plate itself had sprung, to height
Of more than a third of an inch, a sort
of eruption of beautiful crystal that
seemed to take the form of elegant trees
and miniature pagoda. The growing
crystals were gradually rising higher
and higher, and they had brought up
with them the enamel surface of the
plate at every point where they had
sprung from the body of the latter.
Such plates are a chemical manifesto
tion of the rarest possible kind, and
only a very few years ago teapot, the
property of a lady in Woburn place,
London, that had become covered with
beautiful crystals in this way, was sold
20 collector for $1,000
The clay of which such china is made,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, contains
alumina and magnesia. and in certain
cases these are so acted upon by the
presence of sulphuric acid as o produce
tibrous crystals that are, in reality, very
much Of the character of Epson salts,
or crystals of alum. Only few, very
few, instances of this growing crock
cry have ever occurred. hence the
fancy prices that examples fetch.
The plate sold the other day had be-
longed to poor person who had never
attached much value to it

before it is sent out. If they are being
sent out to Republican committees open
