The Extra Session.

Governor Smith on Wednesday of last
week, issued call, conyening the Maryland
Legislature In extra session, on March OH.
The governor gives as the occasion of the
call, the necessity for legislation amending
the election laws of the State.
In our American system of selfgoveIn-
ment, the making and satisfactory acceptance
of laws is burdened with the circumstance
that the minority always opposes, and in nc
species of legislation does the minority evince
greater interest. develop deeper feeling and
make a harder fight than on questions affect.

may be alleged against any new and far
reaching legislation. the more readily is i,
torious Of propositions are adjudged as base
if 1t may be made successfully to appear that
they have been inst'gated by a desire 10 serve
party ends.
The issue raised by the propo ed legisla
ton will be treated only as one of unallOyed
partisan poitics-certainly, naturally and
justly: no one for moment imagines that
the dominant party proposes to elevate the
standard Of the elective franchise at the ex.
pense of that party; no one outside of that
party will submit without demur at seeing it
elevated at their expense; thus are we in for
season of politics" pure and simple-we
are up against the real thing.

Engine Horse Power.

We are occasionally asked for rule to
calculate the horse power of steam engines;
we herewith give the rule generally accepted
First you must know how the valve is set
in the steam chest; that is when it cuts off;
should it not cut Oft during the entire stroke,
then the pressure in the cylinder would,
throughout the entire stroke, be the same as
that in the boiler, practically, allowing some
thing for friction in the pipes. We give the
mean pressure for the points Of cut off IN or
binary use, viz, $40 20 892; s=0.766; 4-lO
= 0.787 of boiler pressure. Then multiply
the mean pressure per square inch by the
diameter of the piston in inches, this by
twice the stroke in feet, this by the number
OF revolutions per minute; this gives the total
foot. pounds, which divided by $4,000 gives
the horse power, The power required to
operate the slide valve varies from one to
two percent of the power OF the engine. II
your boiler carries 100 pounds of steam and
your valve cuts off at the mean pressure on
The piston head is 70 9 pounds, Diameter Of
cylinder 10, stroke Q feet, number of revolu.
lions 100; then 70 8 multiplied by Is equals
1149; 1149 multiplied by equals 1906; 4596
multiplied by 100 equals 459 900 foot pounds;
ASS, 900 divided by $4,000, equals very nearly
IA horse power.

The Way Ills Done.

Some weeks ago we received proposition
from Mining Company in Colorado to pub.
fish a large advertisement and receive in
payment therefor, stock of the company at
a reduction of rs per cent. on its face or par
value. In the advertisement it was set forth
property; that on it were one or more enor.
mously rich veins of gold and silver; that
this stock would be sold to provide the funds
wherewith to develop the mines, which, once
accomplished, tie stock would be worth fully
par and would pay dividends of 25 per cent.
1t occurred to us that there should be
millions of dollars, right out there in Colo.
RADIO, awaiting investment in just such prom
Using properties; that millions of dollars were
there in the hands OF men thoroughly versed
IN mining matters and whose business was
solely along that line, hence it seemed strange
that the owners of so certainly valuable a
property should be compelled to come east
and offer stock at one-fourth it's value in or.
der to secure the capital necessary to develop
their mines.
Having an acquaintance In Denver, 1.-THE
home Office of the company in question: VIC
enclosed the "copy" for the advertisement
contract offered US and accompanying letter
asking that the matter be looked up and q
report made to Us.
The reply came back promptly; there was
no such mining company known to one OF
the leading brokers of Denver and his state
ment was unequivocally to the effect that |,
was swindle.
Ifany of our brother publishers in Mary
land have accepted any such proposition, WI
suggest that before carrying the advertise
ment longer, they make some inquiry, other
wise they may be instrumental in Kidding
some OF their readers of their cash.
