EFFICIENCY OF TURBINE.
Performances Of the Great Machine At
the worlds Fair-Has No
Parallel.

On the morning following the
close of the st. Louis exposition
great interest attached to the
shutdown and inspection Of the
600-hOrse power steam turbine
generating unit in the Palace of
Machinery after a continuous run
of over 1862 hours-a perform
ance which has had no parallel in
steam turbine history, says the
Scientific American. This ma
chine, which is of the Westing-
hOuse-Parsons type, was started
on its long run on the morning of
Monday, June 20, shortly after its
installation at the fair, and was
stopped on the morning of Friday,
December 2. During the five and
a half months that the unit was in
operation it supplied current for
light and power in the various
buildings of the exposition.
Several engineers connected
with the builders of the turbine
and with the machinery depart,
ment of the worlds fair were pres.
ent when the engine was stopped
and examined. 1t was found to be
in perfect condition, as shown by
the fact that there were no signs
of wear, and that the bearings still
retained the tool marks which they
carried when they came from the
shops.
The remarkable feature of this
performance, of course, was the
maintenance under load of a speed
of 5000 revolutions per minute fol
such a long period. Every day
from $3.50 in the morning to 1886
in the evening during the contin
nous run, the load carried varied
from rs per cent. underload to 81
per cent. overload. The total mum

below one billion.

Dinners without Weight.

Ithas been seriously asserted BY
many people that we are naturally

even gone the length of explaining
this by the amount of gas that is
developed from the food. Aver

that we lose three pounds six
ounces between night and morn.

ounces by breakfast; that we

an average of one pound; that we

average of ten ounces, but that an
ordinary dinner to healthy persons
adds two pounds two ounces to
their weight.-N. Y. Herald.

Whitney, in Outing, is addicted to

town, quite a business of itself in
the smallest settlements, one sees
peddlers squatting before their
trays of little boxes holding lime
and seeds and tobacco, and pack
ages of syrah, or green betel
leaves. The betel tree is among
the most common in Siam, sending
up a trunk sometimes fully 60 feet,

again like the cocoa, the nuts grow
in closely attached lunches, to

The Ranchwoman.

The success of Mrs. w. N. Sherman
and the beauty of her hospitable home,
the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali
fornia, should be an incentive to every
woman to hold fast to the home in
stinct while winning her way in the
business world. In the face Of much
opposition and caustic comment Mrs.
Sherman, soon after leaving an east
ern college, bought large tract OF I'M
improved land near Fresno, deter
mined by her own efforts to develop
its possibilities.
Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa is valued at over five
times the original investment. During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the
cannery. Since discovering that by
personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from 800 to $500 more
per carload than when left to the SUI
pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman
very sagely concluded that woman
can be real helper, even though she
leave the care Of the household to
some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts to raisin growing
alone, but has a national reputation as
a stock raiser and fruit grower.-Pil-

The Victim Of pisagreeabie Trouble

Lying awake is often a habit. 1t Is
worth almost any effort to break up
such habit. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Insomnia is usually the result Of one
of three things-poor circulation, in
digestion or mental distress. The
person who studies himself carefully
will be able to locate the difficulty and
treat himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths.
warm-water. bottles, brisk rubbing,
soaking the feeting and deep breath

For indigestion take a warm drink
before retiring or when sleepless.
Drink warm water, warm milk, weak
tea or cocoa and breathe deeply.
For mental distress mere will power
is the best. Close the eyes and as fast
as the thoughts come drive them out.
Carry on in the mind housekeeping

Sweet sleep and plenty Of It will
go great way toward keeping women
young: When sleep departs wrinkles

1t is by sleep that we gain strength
for another day. Sleep is to the brain
and nerves what food is to the body.
Here are few simple. tried rules
for driving away insomnia:
Go to bed warm. Never go to bed
with cold feet.
If the events of the day have been
trying, read short, light story De-
fore retiring.
Leave the window down at the top
and protect the bed from drafts.
AS soon as the body touches the bed
relax the muscles, shut the eyes and
make ready to sleep. Nothing drives
away sleep more quickly than the
thought that one can't sleep.
