DriftvvcCd
Drivin' Home the Ce.vu.
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

Drtvfn' Home the Cows. I see leafy lane within deep myste- That twinsd it's sig-sag way beside a Where the branches of the tall trees
 touched each other as they stood | To form a dome-a pleasant shady I think of childish pleasures an the
 different things did; The yelpin dog who parked his glad was really happy then--a little tow In the evenin' drivin home the cows. What fun in early mornin' gettin' up
 to do the chores:
 Before the sun had kissed and woke What fun to eat the golden pippins-- That glistened with the dew-like
 silvery ray. Life was then one happy rhyme; the
 world Q playground seemed, Which nothing else in later life al-
 lows.
 As golden as the sunset was the fam
 cies that dreamed In the evenin' drivin' home the cows. Sometimes with Bob or Jim I ran a
 secret to impart.
 Anrthen with boyish eagerness and Would clap their hands as I revealed
 the secret of my heart-- A red-birds nest within some tall
 Cak tree; Or, maybe, as the lowing kine grazed
 in the pastures green; Wed hear the auarrelinS crows in These and many other things were
 what were daily seen Tn the evenin' drivin' home the cows. An. Mem'ry, as you take me over boy
 hoods backward trail With all It's gilded pleasures now de-
 nied, With all it's rosy-tinted dreams I never
 thought could fail, Across the chasm that the years make
 wide.
 You set the heart to beatin' fast--the
 eyes to shed a tear Or. mayhap. think of sentimental
 vows.
 But it seems to me that later life's held
 nothing half so dear, As boyheod days when drivin' home
 the cows.

The wsstage of the energy under

The wastage of the energy under
the present methods is appalling.
About 60 per cent of the heat energy
of coal can be put into the steam
boiler, and from this only 10 per cent
of mechanical power is obtained.
Thus about nino. .tenths of the original
heat in coal is wasted. Proceeding
further and putting mechanical power
into electricity, only from two to
five per cent Is turned into light:
or, in other words, from coal to light
we get on an average only about one
half of one per cent of the original
energy, a wastage of 9915 of every
100 pounds of coal used. The very
best possible with the largest and
best machinery is little more than
one pound from every 100 consumed

Made MEASURES
MOUNT RAINIER

BY barometrical measurements
made by A. q. McAdie, of the San
Francisco weather bureau, the dis

tain in the United States has Deen
settled. 1t has been question
whether Mount Rainier, in Washing.
ton, or Mount Whitney. In California,
is the higher. Mr.. McAdie and
other scientists have just returned
from Mount Rainier, collected much
valuable data on scientific subjects
that have long been III dispute.
Barometers used in measuring the
mountain are the same rs those used
in measuring Mount Whitney, so
there can be no doubt that the com. .
PARSONS in heights are correct.
Eight baromelrical readings taken on
Mount Whitney two years ago register
H. 5000 inches; four readings taken
at the top Of Mount Rainier last week
register 11632 or 1856. Which Of
the TWO readings are exactly correct
must be determined after corrections
are made for gravity, water, yapor,
etc.
Mr.. McAdie praised the work of the
late Professor Mcclure, of Eugene,
when talking Of previous mercurial
barometer measurements on Mount
Rainier. Professor Mcclure was the
first man to take a scientific measure.
ment OF the mountain, and his read.
ings do not differ to great exten
from those of Mr.. McAdie aud Pro
fessor lie Conte. Professor Mcclure
lost his life on Mount Rainier in 1877
while looking for safe passage way
for companions and although his body
was never recovered his readings
were preserved. Professor McClure's
barometrical notes give the height Of
Mount Rainier as IA, 5s2 feet, his
barometer registering 17.70S inches
Another measurement of the noun
tain, made by geological survey
gives the height as l4,2l5 feet.
Measurements were also made of
Pinnacle Rock, ON Mount Rainier,
and it was found that Its height wds
greatly overestimated Mr.. McAdie
gives the height of Pinnacle Rock as
1000 feet, instead OF 5000 feet as has
been claimed. .-Oregonian.
