THE INTREPID BEE

There lived bee-who though quite small,
Was not q busy bee at all. -. .@stTSS1H
No aim in life-no cares had he; 2-5es'sssSssaa5
This bee had naught to do but be. -
One day by chance he overheard 3 "a
A passing strangers passing word; r
Deeply and long he pOndered on 1t
Twas Of bee In some ones bonnet!
"A bonnet thought the bumptious> bee;
THAT would be just the place for me!
What residence Is so correct 80
For one exc !usive and select:''
Now it fell out that very day
Miss Amorilla came that way,
Wearing las you no doubt fOreSee)
A rose-lecked bonnet. Then the bee
Exclaimed: 'Hurrah! My luck is great.
How al: things come to those who waltz
And with Il sudden cry. Here goes!'
He plunged into the reddest rose!
Its honey he essayed to suck,
And found instead that he was stuck
And from O snarl of cottonwood :
In vain his legs he tried to pull. &
Within his mouth was such a taste
Aniline dye and glue and paste
While wires and stiffeneds muslin things
But though in dire and luckless plight,
He kicked and pushed with all his might,
And somehow managed to get free,
A sadder and a wiser bee.
Adorns the tale, and should this lesson
bring:
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

SOME CARNEGIE METHODS.
Quick Work in Unloading Ore from
the Cars at the Furnaces.

Nu1CA " OK IN On1OaOlnE ore from
the Cars at the Furnaces.
James y. Hatch in the Engineering
Magazine tells how ore is handled at
the Carnegie furnaces. He says: when
the ore trains reach the Carnegie fur
naces they must be unloaded as quickly
as possible. to save cars and to save
storage track room. The cars are
stopped on the platform Of a tipple and
clamped down to the track. The tipple
is then set in motion, lifting a section Of
the track, loaded car and all. and turn
ing it through vertical circle until the
car is turned upside down and the fifty
tons. more or less. of ore emptied into
bucket cars. which stand on a track
alongside. This machine is guaranteed
to handle 300 cars day of ten hours.
These bucket cars are hauled away to
the side of the stockyard and stopped
under the cantilevPr of the largest bridge
tramway ever built. This tramway has
trolley travel of about 500 feet. and
can pick up the bucket with it's load Of
22.4OO pounds from the car and carry it
to any part of the yards. This load of
over ten tons can be lifted from the
ground at the rate of $50 feet per min
ute. can be moved across the bridge at a
speed of 800 to 800 feet per minute, and
the whole machine. load and all, can be
moved up or down the yards at a speed
OF 20 to 100 feet per minute.

The shopkeeper is no longer persona
non grata among the nobility of England,
probably because he has money to spend
among those who know only how to
pend money. 1t is said that Sir Thomas

ashamed Of his early poverty. Lord
Mountstephen, who has just given $780,

ministers in Scotland, is probably popular
also. not only on account of his Sener-
