Roosevelt as a Student.

"When was introduced to Roose-
welt, at the opening of freshman year, ,"
said a college friend, 'he seemed
physically undeveloped. but we'll de-
veloped in other respects. He weigh.
ed little. more than a hundred and
thirty pounds; but his face appeared
mature. He wore side.whiskers."
His classmates are frank to say that
they did not prophesy great things OF
Roosevelt, says a writer in McClure's
Magazine. His love of natural his
tory impressed ME most" said one.

snakes and tOads, and other live
things about him. He was one Of the
last men in the class | would have
picked out as 4 coming great man. If
I had prophesied at all it would have
been that Roosevelt would be the head
of the Smithsonian Institution"
He was studious, and was not
ashamed of il. Even in his college
days he did not waste time.

More steam Engines Used Now Than
Eyar E.Sn

The use OF the steam engine i in
creaslng faster today than ever before.
Many mammoth industrial plants are
exclusively engaged in building steam
boilers and engines. and il is the proud
boast OF one of these. the Atlas Engine
Works, OF Indianapolis. that il aver.
ages a complete boiler and engine outfit
OF fifty horsepower every thirty min
utes OF the working day.
When the visitor 10 their plant has
gone through two or three OF their
great warehouses. and emerges upon a
boiler yard OF twenty acres. he won
ders where upon earth use can be
found for all the boilers and engines.
But. IL he will watch the loading
process, he will see some ten or twelve
trainloads per day go out labeled for
destinations all over the world. and
will gain some notion of the magnitude
OF the worlds work. Then, when he is
told that this one concern. leviathan OF
the trade though it is, does not produce
ten percent Of the worlds ouput of
steam boilers and engines, he will be-
gin 10 realize how vast is the produc-
tion and consumption of steam power
throughout the world.
The product Of this one plant, which
builds every type and size OF horizontal
steam engine, affords an interesting
study OF mechanical evolution. The
balanced slide-valve, the shaft gov
ernor the rotating, or Corliss valves,
self-oiling devices, compound cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible Improvements. The
built-up connecting rod, the removable
bearings, improved piston construction,
stronger and lighter designs Of bed,
more intelligent designing Of all recip-
rocating parts better selection of ma
terials and more accurate workman
ship throughout are some Cf the things
that differentiate the engine of today
from that Of half century ago.
The changes in boiler construction
have not been 50 numerous, but they
have been quite as marked. In the out
put of this one concern can be found
every size and type of boiler, from the
little horizontal tubular Of fifteen
horsepower. To the new Atlas water
tube, which purifeS its own water,
superheats its own steam and gives the
highest efficiency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.

Spools Made Of SaWdust.

William J.. Williams Of this city has
been at work on a process Of making
a fibre spool for several years. At first
the attempt was made TO make the
spools from pulverized newspapers,
this being done by Incorporating a
substance with the paper which, when
heated, united into a solid mass, but
later experiments disclosed the fact
tnat common sawdust and leather
chips and savings produced a much
stronger spool. The ordinary large
10000 yard spools are made in four
pieces, the heads being solid and the
barrel being divided in halves length
wise
Timber for wooden spools has be-
come very scarce. and it is believed
that the fibre spool can b. made much
more cheaply than the wooden one.
