Statisticians estimate that there
are 40,O00,000 rats in France. The tun-
neling for the Metropolitan railroad
has made them much in evidence.
Being apparently driven from their
holes. they have taken to attending the
theaters. AT the free matinee per-
Torrance recently dozen rats scared
the audience. At the Porte ST. Martin

the employees drove out the rats. which

THE LOVE OF LATER YEARS.

What Of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and low ?
What of the long established fashion
"hen Love comes pleading: Let go?"
from habits that enslaved before
He turns one newborn, to sigh
He dreams of wildwood haunts no more
his gun and rod uncherished lie.
The thurders Of applause that shook
Ihe halls of state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns to look
And when he hears her softly call;
Ihe wisdom that he had he lays
Aside, forgetting to be wise
he Graves no honor but her praise,
his universe Is in her eyes.
what OF the strong mans solid reason
when Love comes signing: STRAY with
me?''
To noble heights or down to treason
lie follows on submissiVeIy
From that which armies might have tried
IN vain to move him he recedes,
Ana at pensive woman's side
Inc strong man signs and humbly pleads.
The dreams that young love dreams are
fair
The signs that young love signs are
sweet
Eiao angels hover, watching where
ne lips of coy young lovers meet.
me skies above young love are blue
Inc laughter of young love is gay;
10 young love all the world is new
And all its troubles far away.
But send TO me the sweeter. later
Love, poisoning where sorrows lie
Inc deeper love the broader, greater,
Ihat comes TO flower but not to die
For him, when youths wild dreams are
spent
Ana Time has withered many a hope
Gods gifts are best If Love is sent
10 lead him down the western slope.

Aie oirects the jet of steam upon curved

Fersally admitted 1t has stimulated the in
terest OF those who use steam. for in the
last analysis advantages and disadvantages
are resolved into the one question of cost.
In less than twenty years the steam tur-
Dine has reached a degree Of perfection and
economy not attained in the two hundred
years of development of the reciprocating
engine. and 1t seems evident that 1t is only
question Of time when 1t will be entirely

due to the elimination of connecting rods
for tho transformation of reciprocal into
rotary position. and the simplest form OF
motion developed by the turbine Is not only
the most suitable for direct power appli-
cation In general. but also for the CONVEX
sion OF energy into the most economical
form.
In America there are three different makes
Of turbine the De Laval. the Westinghouse
and the Curtis, which has Just been placed
on the market.
In France and Switzerland the Ratean tur-
bine has been introduced.
All these machines are similar to tho De
Laval. and tho general principles made use
Of in water turbines also apply to steam
turbines.
Curved glides, or buckets, az they arc
termed. are arranged 30 as to have as little
skin friction as possible, and SO that the
steam mako strike them without sudden
shock.
Tho law governing the proper velocity At
which tho turbines should be operated is
the Same as that for water wheels
THE TURBINE EXPLAINED.
In the impact turbine the speed most ef-
fective obtains when the velocity of the
buckets Is one-half that Of the steam issu-
ing from the nozzle.
In the reaction turbine this velocity should
be equal to that Of the jet In order to give
the best results.
With steam discharging at high pressure
Into vacuum a velocity Is obtained ap-
proximating 5000 feet per second, and in
turbine constructed on the lines of Heros
engine the velocity would far exceed the
strength OF material employed
