Steam Locomotive Cheapest.

The average steam locomotive spends
one-third it's time, not in bed, but in
having its boiler and firebox cleaned
There are exceptions. and in emergen-
gencies the cleaning process is cur
| tailed, but like other excesses, has TO
be paid for with longer stay in the
repair shop. The washing process does
not consume all this time, for there is
a great waste while waiting for the
boiler to cool, and again in getting up
steam.
An electric locomotive will stand a
heavy overload, but if only required to
do it's normal will not heat and can be
kept in operation almost continuously.
The electrical repairs are easily and
quickly made, as for the most part
they are made by substitution; a sup
ply of renewal parts being kept on
hand, thus reducing the time in shop
to the lifting out of one piece and put
ting back the new one, where a steam
locomotive would have to be taken
to pieces and the work done specially.
The advantage, however, Is shown by
the Railway Age to be misleading, for
the reason that steam locomotives cost
about $40 per horsepower against $65
per horsepower for an electric power
station alone, or S100 per horse power
for the generating plant, transmission
lines and electric locomotive. The in
terest on the investment Is therefore 10
times as much for the electric system.
which more than offsets the extra steam
locomotives require to allow one-third
of them to be out Ct service constantly.
There are conditions, however. such
as terminal and tunnel service in large
cities, In which the advantages Of the
electric system determine its selection
regardless of cost.

Destruction of the Ferri. Wheel.

The great Ferris wheel, once the me-
chanical wonder of the world. was pur-
posely wrecked with 200 pounds OF
dynamite at st. Louis on May IL. The
inventor, for whom 1t was named, built
it in 1893 at Pittsburg at a cost of
s300,00 as mechanical amusement
device for the Chicago Worlds Fair
and as rival of the Eiffei tower. The
wheel was 264 feet In diameter, and its
steel shaft was the largest ever forged.
There were 1900 tons of metal in the
structure. After earning $750.000 It
was taken down at the close of the Ex-
position and hauled in wagons 10 miles
across the city at cost of $4,000 and
set up In an amusement park. 1t was
again taken down in 1903 and shipped
to the st. Louis Worlds Fair. The
wrecking company decided there was
most money in wrecking it for scrap
valued at $4,000, and fired 100 pounds
OF dynamite under 1t on the first charge.
The wheel did not fall, but leaned to
one side.
When the second charge was fired
later in the day the huge monster did
not fall on its side, as predicted, but
first seemed to quiver, then to totter.
and then gradually to collapse, the ac-
ton increasing until the great sections
were bending and twisting like wire.
Finally there came the final crash.
which covered the foundations with a
tangled heap OF iron and steel, The
wheel was designed on the principle OF
bicycle wheel with double rim of
bridge construction. The shaft, weigh
ing "A tons, was driven 20 feet into the

How Seed. nre Put 1. Packets.

Should you purchase several pack
ages of one kind of garden or flower
seeds, put up by the same firm. and
compare the contents Of each tiny bag.
you will be surprised to find how uni
form i'm quantity Is each packet. This
result is not accomplished by hand. but
is the rapid work of an extremely inter-
esting machine which is the invention
OF Vermontcr.
The packetiug machine Is entirely
automatic in its action, and all the op-
orator has to do is to keep the hopper
full of seeds, and supply and remove
the little bags. The machine is opar-
ated by a one-eighth horsepower cleo
tric motor. and is adjusted for each
change of seeds or size of packets.
When once started II will fill 1000
packets an hour and in doing so 1t
measures the seeds, opens the. bag, fills
II, gums 1t, turns the flap, presses II
hard down and holds II until il sticks
fast, making the packet secure for even
the smallest seeds. A counter registers
the number of bags.

Masonry.
(scientIhc American.)

The cost of concrete and stone ma
sonry varies largely with the local con-
6itions and the character of the work
on which they are used; but there are
very few places where concrete masonry
is not only cheaper than stone masonry,
but better, being much stronger and
more suitable in many ways. This fact
IS becoming more generally recognized,
and more than one quarry which in
former years produced building stone Is
nov producing crushed stone for con-
crete. The following figures give gen.
eral idea of the comparative cost of
brick masonry and concrete, per cubic
yard:
Brick.-500 brick, 1915: y barrel

labor, $2.25; making a total. sS.

A CURIOUS EXPERIENCE.
Surfman Stiles Struck by Lightning and
f. Told of 1t.

Many men have been struck by
lightning and never knew what hit
them. But it is not often that man
is struck by lightning and has to inquire
afterward what happened. Yet that
was the case recently with Walter Stiles.
a surfman of the Townsend Inlet Life
Saving Station down on the coast of
North Carolina. In report to the De-
partment the story is told. 1t appears
that on the night Of March 1s there
was a severe storm and Stiles was one
of the beach patrol. He left the sta
ton about o'clock at night. Five
minutes thereafter there was severe
clap of thunder and in about 20 min
ute stiles staggered in half dazed and
asked what had happened. His hat was
gone and he said he felt as though some
one had wayIaid him and dubbed him
on the back of tie neck. Two OF the
patrol took lantern and went out
with him, following his back tracks In
the sand. In little while they came
to where he had fallen on the beach.

Moss as a Populer Food.

Prof. Hansteen, chief lecturer of the
agricultural school at Aas, Norway. has
been conducting experiments which
show that a common greenish-white
moss, after being subjected to a chemi-
cal process, pressed and cooked, be-
comes food of the most delicious and
nutritive character. Because of its
cheapness he thinks it is destined to
become a popular food for the masses.
He finds that nine ounces of moss, cost
ing two cents, will make good dinner
for six persons. The substance can
also be ground and used as a meal for
bread-making.

DYED CHERRIES.

Those who are allured by the bril-
liant red cherries to be found in bon
bons, candied fruits and cocktails will
DE a little disturbed to know that the
brilliance of this colorng is due to ami
line dye, the use of which is general in
France and everywhere recognized as
q regular practice. The coloring mat
ter is an aniline known commercially
as rose nouveau." SO well recognized
is the practice that our Consuls in
France have no difficulty in getting all
the details of the work from the manu-
facturers. The following are directions
for coIoring fruit:
t'The fruit is selected washed,
stemmed and spread upon slat frames
of wood underneath which at intervals
basins of sulphur are placed; the cher
Ties are subjected to the fumes Of the
ignited sulphur until they are OF uni
form color, which is usually yellow. A
quantity of the colorfng matter (rose
nouveaul is dissolved in a liter of cold
water. Then the cherries are placed
in an earthen pot with little of the
coloring liquid, dissolved sugar and glu-
cose, glucose being used only in suffi-
cient quantity to prevent crystalliZa-
tion and souring and to keep the fruit
soft. The mass, after mixing, is turned
into copper kettles and boiled slowly
for about ID minutes. 1t is then all
turned back into the earthen vessel and
allowed to cool for two or three days to
permit the coloring matter to permeate
the fruit. If the color is not as desired
very little more coloring matter is
added. and the above process Is repeat
ed sometimes Is or 20 times, or until
the desired color is obtained and the
glace process finished"
