fairly good looking educated and is
reported as saying that the valuation
he has put on himself is none too

already of 500 chances. Each of the
women purchasing a ticket receives
written guarantee that in case she
holds the lucky mum bern at the lot
terry he will marry her and give her an
extended bridal trip in the East. Mr..
Stills way of looking at the transac-
tion is summed up in this brief state
ment: Il think the scheme OF get

good financial one, and will get me
wife who will prove satisfactory.
/ know she will be anxious TO marry
me or she would not buy chances.
1t IS generally conceded that marriage
IS lottery in which either of the
contracting parties may draw prize
or blank. 1t often happens that
both draw blanks. In the present
instance there can hardly be any
doubt that the holder Of the winning
plumber will be the unluckiest OF the
competitors. Much can be and much
is forgiven those who enter into the
marriage relationship hastily or un-
wisely when love is the impelling
cause. All the world loves a lover
and all the world sympathies with
lovers who make mistakes. Unequal
tiles Of age and disposition and station
are condoned or overlooked when it
becomes evident that the parties to
an ill-advised marriage have been
blinded by love, but there is vast
amount of difference between Cupid
and Cupidity: and the Oklahoma
young man seems TO be influenced en-
tirely by the latter. The cool, calcu-
lating, thoroughly callous- hearted
and entirely selfish manner in which
he enters upon his pursuit of a wife
proves him to be worthy of the finest
specimen of the shrew that the terri
tory can produce. He may beyoung,
he may be fairly good looking and he
may be educated bur the value he
places upon himself as a husband Is

MEASURING WASTE STEAM.
An Interesting Device For Testing
the Efficiency of Pipe Coverings.

An Interesting Device For Testing
the Efficiency of Pipe Coverings.
The plump, white coverings of steam
pipes are familiar to all who frequent
modern city dwellings, and it is gener-
ally understood that they serve as a
protection against fire. That they have
a direct economic value which has been
calculated to the exact amount in dol
lars and cents may not be so commonly
known, but is nevertheless the interest
ing fact. This economy comes from
the fact that the packing is as nearly
as possible heat proof as well as fire.
proof and, preventing as it does radia-
ton from the pipes, preserves for its
intended uses tue potentiality of the
steam which passes through them. For
example, a specified amount of heat
may be transferred through covered
pipes by the use of less steam and con-
sequently less coal than could be car
ried through uncovered pipes.
A scientific basis for these calcula-
tons was obtained in the physics lab
oratory of the Massachusetts, Institute
Of Technology by means of an original
device constructed under the direction
Of Professor G. L. Norton. A piece of
steam pipe is filed with oil and heated
from the inside by means of electricity.
The amount of electrical energy sup
piled is measured, and hence the
amount of heat furnished is known, as
well as the amount given out or lost.
In order to increase the accuracy Of
the tests, which often lasted for days
and even for months, the oil which
serves as a distributor of the electrical
heat is briskly stirred by machinery,
and the whole apparatus is suspended
by nonconducting cords from the CEN
ter of the laboratory.
1t has been found that suitable COW
ering will save So per cent of the heat
which would be lost from the bare pipe
and that the consequent saving of coal
is sufficient to pay the cost of the COW
ering In less than year.
The ability OF a pipe cover to with
stand the action of heat for a prolong-
ed period without being destroyed or
rendered less efficient is of vital i'm
portance. For determinations of this
character 1t has been necessary to keep
some of these coverings for two years
in one uniform temperature.
