Locomotives Are Clumsy.

There seems to be no present help
for it, but the existent style of loco.
motive is at best a clumsy mechanism.
The crank principle must be done
away with before 100 miles an hour
can be reached for long journeys.
Rowing is n stupid sport, because the
recovery retards the progress of the
boat The forward motion is accom-
plished by a series of jerks. In an
eight-oared boat the blades should
not enter and leave the water at the
same time, but should work in alter
nation. The forward motion of the
crank helps an engine, while the back
ward motion retards it, and between
the two the mechanism is gradually
shaken to pieces. BY sacrificing
strength to speed rotary engine
might be built that would make 100
miles an hour at all distances. The
high speed of electric motors is deriv-
ed from the rotary principle.

Mount Mckinley, with an altitude
of 20,464 feet, is the highest noun
tain in North America and forms the
central point of an enormous and sur.
passingly grand mountain mass, stu.
ated at the head waters of the Sush-
tina and Kuskokwim rivers in Alaska
Mount Mckinley was known to the
Russians who settled about the head
of Cook Inlet nearly 100 years ago and
was called by them Bulshaia-.that is,
Big. The first American to see and
publish an account of it was a pros.
pector named w. A. Dickey, who gave
the mountain its present name.

A picturesque feature in house is
to have sitting room on a different
level from the hall In a beautiful
country house on the Sound the draw
ing room is two feet lower than the
long, low raftered hall, making the
ceiling just so much higher. AS one
stands on the threshold at the open
folding doors before descending the
couple of broad steps that lead into
the room the effect is charming, espe-
cially as the room is treated in way
to enhance the impression Of sudden
brightness and freshness. The pre-
vailing color in the hall is Indian red,
with dark carved furniture and a med
ley Of curios in the way of rare pot
terry, brasses and coppers, choice spec
linens Of armOr, etc, everything in
rich, dark tones. But at the drawing
room door the scene Is transformed; ;
the walls are hung with beautifully
painted tapestries representing the
heart of the woods, fiecked with
checkered shade and sunshine, most
realistically rendered. The floor is
stained a sunny brown and covered
with messy green rugs, while the
French windows directly opposite
open out on a terraced garden simply
ablaze with colored flowers, framed
in by the pale green silk curtains.-

John Walsh, Hero,

The spirit which we are proud to
call American finds capital illustfa-
ton in the story of the great log jam
in Leslie's Monthly:
John Walsh, the moving spirit of
the gang, wore hook in place Of one
hand, but he was wonder for all that
His resourcefulness, courage and un-
bending firmness had much to do with
winning the battle. He was there for
one thing-to drive piles in the right
places-and nothing could turn him
from his purpose. If man was not
actually working, he had no business
on the No. driver, even though he
might happen to be one of the owners.
One intruder refusing to leave quickly
enough John promptly knocked him
overheard into the shallow water be-
tween the driver and the bank. Then
as the fellow did not rise John fished
for him in the most matter of fact
manner with his iron hook, threw him
O.. the bank. unconscious, and went
on driving piles!
Another time. the jam broke sud-
denly. just as John had pile in the
carrier ready to hammer into place.
The driver was picked up bodily and
carried some distance. The crew
were pretty well frightened, but the
instant the craft came to a standstill
Walsh cut loose the hammer and
drove that pile. He had placed 1t in
the carrier for the purpose, and he was
going to finish the job !f he were car
ried to Jericho.

A Quartet of Young Heroines.

-Four girls, each under sixteen years
of age, who have received medals from
the Government for bravery in saving,
or aiding in saving, human life, de-
serve something more than ordinary
attention.
The first of these, according to st.
Nicholas. is Edith Morgan, of Hamlin,
Michigan, who endeavored with her
father and brothers to row in a north
erly gale and heavy sea to vessel
capsized three miles off shore. When
the boat was forced back Edith aided
in clearing the track through logs and
driftwood for the surf-boat, which
meanwhile had been summoned, and
also helped to launch the boat.
On previous occasion she had stood
in snow for six hours, helping the life
savers work the whip-line of the beach
apparatus.
When Edith Clark was nearly six
teen years old, and a pupil in con-
vent at Oakland, California, she
plunged into Lake Chabot to rescue
companion who had disappeared in
sixty feet Of water. Edith seized the
unconscious girl, and holding her head
above water with one arm, padded
with the other and trod water until a
boat came to her assistance.
Marie Parsons, of Fire Place, Long
Island, was only ten years of age
when she saw man and n child
swept off pleasure boat by the boom.
Observing that the child clung to the
man so that he could make no head
way, she sprang into small boat and
reached the spot just in time to save
their lives.
When thirteen years old. Maud King
saved three lives Off Castle Pickney,
the lighthouse depot in Charleston
Harbor.
In furious squall. which added i'm
petus to the gale, yawl containing
three men and boy was capsized. The
boy managed to swim to the shore, but
two of the men succeeded in getting
only as far as the piles of the wharf.
There they hung, too exhausted to
climb up, while the. third man, unable
to swim, clung to the yawl.
In spite of her mothers protests
Maud prepared, unaided, to launch a
small boat in the boisterous sea. But
she was joined by her aunt, and to-
gether they rescued the imperiled
men.

the heavy chains were thrown around
the winch. and the steam power began
to draw the clump together. On the
other side of the little channel the tug
lay nfdbred fore and aft. John Walsh
stood on the boom coolly tying the
last cumbersome knot of the system
of defense. Clark Deremo, all alert,
grasped the spokes of the wheel. In
the engine room, Norris, his hand on
the throttle, stood ready to throw her
wide open at the signal. A man at
either end watched the owners up
raised hand, prepared to cut the moor
ing lines when it should descend.
Look out, john" said the owner.
quietly, "she's getting ready"
The man addressed folded the knot
over without reply.
Upstream the jam creaked, groaned,
settled deliberately forward, cutting q
clump Of piles like straw.
"She's coming" warned the owner.
"Give me every second you can," re-
piled Walsh, without looking up. He
was just making the last turns.
The mass toppled slowly, fell into
the swift current and leaped with
roar. The man in the waist of the tug
watched with cat-like attention.
Jump aboardw he cried to the man
on the boom, and his raised hand de-
scended at last.
With the motion the two axes sew.
cred the mooring lines, the wheel
whlrled, the little craft shot from its
leash like hound. And so fine had
they cut it that the first logs smashed
the stern cail! But the opening was
closed.

0One firm alone refused to Yield.

retained the generalship during the
long battle. A last stand was offered.
Boys" said the two members of
this firm, "if she starts to go, save
yourselves the best way you can.
Never mind the driver, stay on top"
And SO the tug and the driver crept
slowly up the boiling water under the
jam.
A pile was placed in the carriage,
the hammer descended. At once logs
commenced to shoot out of the water
end foremost all around them. The
pile had been driven into the foot of
the jam, SO loosening timbers at the
bottom Of the rirer. Luckily none of
them hit either of the boats squarely,
or the craft would have been stoved
in and slnk. The fault of position
was remedled, and the work begun.
Four times the jam quivered. -Four
times it paused again on the brink of
dHcharge.

|anyiously.

reimbrS' the county treasury fr the
loss Of That sollrrc Of income. Is it pos
sihle thar this loss has caused the de.
iicit? The amount of tho deficit shown
by Mr.. Rosscll is $139. .O9S.21. covering n
prriol Of six years including 1895 and
1901. -Four years of this period has

10000 An average poll tax of $1.25 col
lected from these voters would have
yielded $4,000 each year, and 100000 in
