THE TITLE REILLY TOOK.
He Made Himself as big "a Man as the
Hest of Them

"When You mention the name OF
John Reilly. you touch a reminiscent
chord in the hearts of hundreds of the
older residents of Baltimore" remark
ed n well known gentleman.
ION one occasion Reilly had TO jour
ncy to Philadelphia on business. 1t
was in the time of the old stagecoaches.
and he made his way leisurely along.
Upon arriving there he registered at
one of the leading hotels. That leads NJ
to my story. At that time it was custom
airy for men to add to their signatures
such titles or evidences of dignity as
they possessed. When Reilly looked
over the hotel register, he saw some
thing like this: John Jones. LIZ d.;
William Smith. 4. NJ. 4. h.: Samuel
Johnson, ID. u Selling a pen. he in
scribcd the following: John Reilly. L.
r. $. Then he went about his busi-
ness and spent n pleasant and profita
BILE afternoon.
Returning to the hotel at night. he
was met by Il committee of leading and
learned citizens. They greeted him
with great Difference and expressed their
qualification that such distinguished
man should he in their midst. He was
urgently requested to deliver a lecture
before some scientific body during his
stay. You see, they judged from the
mystic letters on the hotel register that
he was d fellow Of the Royal society.
REILLY vas a man of imposing per-
sonal appearance. He made himself
very agreeable to the committee, but
could not name a date for the lecture.
When they left him, friend asked the
reason of the demonstration.

The late General George B. McClel-
Ian. U. S. A., is credited with having
made the statement many years ago
that the sinking of clans into the sand
along the ocean shore by closing their
shells and ejecting the water from
them in Il thin stream first suggested
to him the use of the water jet as an
aid in sinking piles in sand. At any
rate as long ago as 1852 water jet
was so used by General Mct'lellan's adj
vice in putting down piles for wharf
and warehouse. Water was forced
through an ordinary rubber hose. with
n piece of gas pipe on the end for q
nozzle. This was placed close to the
point of the pile on the bottom, the jet
of water securing the sand away from
the pile and making hole, in which
the pile sank rapidly.-Cassier's Maya
