Fly Wheel Insurance.

Fly wheel insurance Is almost pure
mathematics When a wheel Is re-
volved at high enough speed the cen
trifugal force exceeds the centripetal
and the wheel flies apart. Solid cast
iron explodes when the speed at the
rim is roughly three miles minute. A
thick rim explodes Just as easily as a
thin one Of the same material. Wood
explodes at greater speed, jointed
iron at less. The underwater allows
a rim speed Of mile a minute, one
third the explosion rate, as safe limit
for solid iron wheels. This permits
two foot pulley wheel sixteen revolu-
tions second, while it keeps sixteen
foot fly wheel down to two. A jointed
wheel is allowed still less. The under
writer has only to name the number of
revolutions he authorizes and to pro-
portion his premium to the size Of the
wheel. The larger the wheel, Of course.
the more destructive It's explosion

Many birds seek the protection which
the presence Of man affords against

wild spot far out of reach Of our pos

built on one side Of projecting crag
high up on the cliffs Of Rathlin island.
Some fierce peregrine falcons occupied
the other side Of the crag, and when
one day their eggs were taken by an
adventurous collector they, sharing the
popular opinion of a ravens blackness,
concluded that their neighbors were the
offenders and Wreaked their grief and
vengeance upon them. When, on their
return from foraging expedition. the
falcons found their nest despoiled they
were seen to hold consultation, and

Burglars and Chloroform.

Doctors agree that the public b
wrong in the popular conception that
burglars sometimes chloroform the In
mates Of house before committing q
robbery. The usual story Is that the
anaesthetic was squirted into the sleep
ing room through keyholes. A Kan
sas City surgeon who has had occasion
to administer chloroform or ether 600
times says that chloroform admins
tered in this manner would put q
quietus on the burglar as well as tho
inmates Of home. Physicians have
tried many times to administer chloro-
form to sleeping persons and have met
with very poor results. The first ef-
feet of an anaesthetic Is not to lull to
insensibility, but to arouse all the men
tai and physical vigor Of the person
to whom it Is given.-Kansas 4 City

An Artists Mistake,

Canton, the celebrated caricaturist,
had wonderful power Of modelling
from memory. After one l1ng look at
his subject he could go to his studio
and make bust quite perfect in it's
resemblance.
One day young man came to him,
saying that his sister was i'll and about
to die and that, although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning it..
Would he C--2t,C t.i.le to reproduce her
features after seeing her once? Dan
ton agreed, and next day the brother
Informed his sister that he intended
to present her with some jewels and
that young man would bring some
specimens for her approval.
Danton brought in the jewels and,
going home, modelled a bust Of strik-
ing resemblance Next year an old
gentleman, the father Of the young
woman, came to order bust of the
brother, who also had died. This, too,
was a marvellous success.
The result of such planning, how
ever, was not always as satisfactory
to his patrons as in these cases. A
gentleman who could not persuade his
wife to sit asked Danton to enter a
certain omnibus one day and fix in his
memory the features Of the lady op-
posite him.
He did so, nloleled a beautiful bust
and sent it home. 1t proved, however,
to be not the mistress, but the maid,
who had also taken the trip in the
omnibus.

LAUGHTER and Health.

A physician in search Of remedies
for human ills finds that laughter
stands very high In the list Of prophy-
lactics. The effect Of mere cheerful
ness as health promoter Is well
known, but an occasional outburst Of
downright laughter Is the heroic rem
edy. It is a matter Of everyday expert
ence, says the authority In question,
that one feels the better for good
laugh, an explosion Of laughter being
in truth nerve storm, comparable iQ
it's effect to thunderstorm In nature
doing good by dissipating those op-
pressive clouds of care which some
times darken the mental horizon" This
authority assures US that the memora-
BILE adage, Laugh and grow fat" rests
on a sound philosophical basis. Portly
people are not given to laughter be-
cause they are fat. They are fat be-
cause they laugh.

Railway Wheela.

Did you ever notice that the wheels
Of a locomotive engine are beveled1
The reason for this Is that In rounding
a curve the outer rail Is, Of course. o
little longer than the inner one. Tho
difference is very little, but It would
be enough to make an engine "sk1d"
unless 1t were reckoned for. In the
beveled wheel the higher part with its
greater circumference, is forced against
the outer rail by the very tendency
Of the engine to drive straight ahead
and with the other wheel the smaller
circumference rests ON the ran, thus
overcoming the difference In the lengths

Stop Smoking to Enjoy Il Better.

An excellent plan for smokers is to
abstain from time to time-that is, fast
from all tobacco, say, for weeks or
month at time. This method enables
the smoker to enjoy his smoke more
when he goes back to It and Is less
harmful to his health.

Strength CT Insects and Animals.
A series of experiments made to test
the jaw force and pulling and lifting
strength Of various kinds Of insects
gives some curious points for study. 1t
has been found that cOckchafer can
draw fourteen times his own weight
and the common honeybee thirty
times From this it may be argued
that, weight for weight, each of the
above named insects is twenty-one
and thirty times respectively stronger
than the horse, whose strength, as a
rule, is taxed to its utmost in drawing
it's own weight as dead load" A
scientist once experimental with a
small hard shelled beetle by putting
him under common table tumbler.
The little creature, not more than one
third of an inch in length, was able to
move the glass in any direction. After
the experiment had been satisfactorily
made both the tumbler and the bug
were weighed, whereupon it was found
that the little Hercules had lifted 96O
times it's own weight! He did not car
ry the weight, Of course, but caused it
to make some lively motions.
