USING JACK FROST.
Turning to Account the Expansion OF
Freezing Water.

1t is related that when the great
Egyptian obelisk, which stands before
st. Peters in Rome was set up, the
tackle got the big stone into nearly
the proper position and then was in
capable of completing its work The
engineers who were directing the OPP
GRAFTON were paralyzed with dismay,
but suddenly a sailor in the crowd
shouted, wet the ropes!'' This adj
vice was acted upon, the ropes shrank
in consequence, and the obelisk was
raised into place. A somewhat SINH
lar, though much less thrilling story
Is related by steamship engineer in
the American Machinist A steamship
from the Argentine Republic for Ant
werp had called at Dunkirk, France,
in the wintering season, to leave soma
freight and on starting to sea again
struck her propeller against a stone
wall and broke off one blade close to
the boss or central knob and lost part
of another blade. On reaching Ant
werp the vessel was put into dry dock,
so as to substitute new propeller for
the broken one. All four blades were
cast with the boss, and, therefore, it
was necessary to remove the whole
thing from the shaft before the new
propeller could be put on. But the
boss stuck to the shaft so snugly that
1t could not be started. After two
days delay the first assistant engineer,
who was a Yankee, adopted the follow
ing plan: He undertook to split the
chisel out gutter on the under side,
reaching fore and aft, so as to favor
cracking along that line Then he
had them make a similar one on top.
In the meantime a hole was dri.l-d in
from the outside to the center. The
boss was not solid all the way down,
but was hollow, and fitted the shaft
only at front and rear. The chamber
thus left was now filled with water,
and the hole closed by a screw plug.
Ropes were attached to the right and
left hand sides of the propeller to hold
them in case they should fall, and the
job was left for the night. Next morn
Ing the halves were separate, the boss
having split along the two lines cut
In its outer surface. The expansion OF

business: and the assistant engineer
got a good deal OF glory.

Climbing Animals.

Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs, instinctively distressing
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec-
tured that this Is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the Shout
der, and the beast seems to realize this.
The fox has no such fear and has been
known to climb tree with plenty of
small limbs to the height of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing to most animals as we'll as to
many races of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim we'll and do not climb at
ALL
Bears can climb we'll if little, but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down a tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground, when she turns
and jumps, but most wild cats run
down trunk head first, even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion, however, do not climb, for no
discoverable reason unless it be that
they fear falling on account of their
weight.

Sir Henry Havelock- Allan, who was a
famous fighter. The colonel says: "My
wife and were in Hyde park one day
when Sir Henry came over and asked
how she liked his horse. She said very
much, and | gave my opinion that it
was about the finest horse | had seen
on the row that day. He then told us
an anecdote about the horse. He said
he had ridden into Darlington, which
was close to his country seat, and he
sent boy up to the editor of the news
paper asking him to come down to the
street to speak to him for q few min
utes, as he could not leave his horse.
The editor was too busy to come down.
and Sir Henry went to him. He rode
up two flights of stairs into the editors
room, spoke to him from the horses
back, rode round his table and back
again and then made his way out into
the street. He said the horse tumbled
things about a good bit, and the editor
danced out of his way. But added
Sir Henry, now the editor comes down
to me if go to see him mounted"
