FEATS OF FAST WORK,

ceive Patients in an Hour.
In Austria complete hospital was
built and was made ready to receive
patients within an hour. feat which
seems almost impossible even when we
know that all the component parts of
the building were at hand. 1t was in
Austria. too, says a correspondent of
the ST Louis Republic, that the seem
ingly miraculous task of converting
trees into newspapers within two and
Il half hours was accomplished. At
: 80 o'clock in the morning three trees
were cut down ut Essential. At 9:3S
the trees had been stripped Of bark.

into paper and passed the factory to
the press. from which printed new spa-
perS We're issued at 10 o'clock.
There are also some novel and as
toniShing feats in the production Of
books. Some years ago Il publishing
house in the Western States received
an order to produce 1000 copies of a
work of 800 pages. bound in cloth. in
-.
day and on Wednesday afternoon the
1000 volumes were handed over while
before Saturday no fewer than 10000
had been turned out.
New York claims a publishing per
Torrance even more astonishing than
this. An advance copy Of one Of lola s
works bad been secured In Paris by the
agent OF the American firm. who post
ed ii to New York. On its arrival it
was translated into English, put into
ally on sale within twentyfour hours.
Not long ago an English boot fac
tory turned out pair Of mems shoes
in the amazingly short space Of time
of twenty minutes The shoes includ-
ed. among other parts. two sewed
pieces. two inner soles. two stffenings
two pieces of steel to give a spring
to the instcp. two rands. two sole lin
ings. thirty lacks. twelve nails in the
heels and twenty buttons.
Remarkable feats of swift work are
accomplished by those who have to
do with moving railroad bridges and
building railroads and locomotives. The
new bridge for the Great Northern
railway at Fishburg park was substi-
tuted for the old one in the short space
of four hours. The work started at
o'clock in the afternoon, when power
full cranes were set to work to remove
the ten ton Orders of the old bridge.
The new steel bridge. weighing more
than 1000 tons. which was resting
near at hand on six small carriages,
was hauled into position by steel
crabs; it was rapidly made secure, the
rails wore connected and within four
hours trains were running over it. A
feat still more surprising was that of
substituting new bridge for the old
one near Hatfield. Within tifty-two
minutes the old structure, with its four
lines of rails. had disappeared and in
its place was new iron girder bridge
carrying six lines of rails, all ready
for traffic.
A complete locomotive engine was
put together for the Great Eastern rail
wLy at the Stratford works in ten
hours. The work began early in the
morning. the engine being photographs
ed at the different stages of its con-
structiOn, and the same evening it was
actually at work pulling luggage

which he did this attracted the atten-
tion of Il mine foreman. The foreman
offered the boy the position of driving
the skinny old horse that worked the
mine pump. William eagerly accept
ed. and for three years he furnished
the incentive that kept the horse
faithful to his task.
At the end of three years William
got promotion. He was permitted to
drive the horse that hOisted the ore
bucket from the mine. This horse, be-
ing livelier and more intelligent ami
mai than the other, did not require so
much urging, and the boy had time
for meditation.

into is active brain that an education
was a good thing. At that time he did
not know so much as the alphabet but
the thought took root and flourished

and asked for book.

Baltimore Doctor Made Unhappy by
Letters He Receives.
If the people do not stop writing let
tiers to Prof. Osler he will have no
chance to do anything in all his wax
ing hours but cut open envelopes and
glance over the written stuff within,
says Baltimore special to the New
York Press. Letters by the hundreds
and by the thousands have been pour
ing in on the unhappy man since he
vaulted into fame by declaring man
was no good after he was 40, and
ought to be chloroformed at 60.
Some persons write to him in all
seriousness. Some have fun with him.
He destroys most Of his letters, but
few have come to light through ac-
quaintances who read them. Here Is
one:
Dear DR.. Osler: am p years Of
age. l was married a year ago to
gentleman Of means, who has a large
and prosperous manufacturing bust
ness. My husband is just 60 years old
today.
II read your speech recently pub
lished in the newspapers. l hail your
views as opening new era I'm our
social life and l am a firm believer in
and an admirer Of your ideas.
Kindly accept an invitation to dine
with us at your earliest convenience.
l will introduce you to my husband
and my husbands business manager.
very interesting young man, whom
am sure you will like.
Hoping You will bring your chloro-
form along and treat us to a demon
stration of your theory, l remain yours
respectfully,
MRS. YOUNGWIFE."
Another read as follows:
RESPECTED DR. Osler: In these days,
when the power of wealth is throt-
Ting our time honored institutions and
debauching even the fundamental prin-
ciples of our civil government, we may
we'll acclaim the change in our polity

with incidents which prove to me that
wealth can obtain for certain men

receive these positions on merit and
ability. fail.
Hoping the theory you advocate
may soon become law, so that the
young men may have chance. l am
sincerely yours.

Another read:

physical and mental wreck from the
troubles Of married life. Yet my wife
is not really bad-dlspositioned wom-
an.
II long ago concluded that the cOndl-
ton of our social fabric was not as it
should be. Something was wrong.
Having read your theory, l have re-
newed hope.
Il like to honor genius in my hum
