Turbine.Driven Locomotive.

So successful has been the turbine
for stationary and marine engines
that it is not strange that efforts
should be made to use it in connection
with locomotives. 1t has been pro-
posed to mount steam boiler and
turbine on a locomotive, and use the
power to drive dynamo which would
supply current to the motors similar
to those of an ordinary electric loco
motive. Recently, however, Prof.
Stumpf, of the Royal Technical School
at Charlottenburg, Germany, has in
vented Il locomotive where the tur-
bines are directly connected with the
axles.
There are three driving axles, and
the plan involves using the. steam in
successive stages in the turbines
which are placed outside of each driv-
ing wheel. The steam is introduced
into the first turbine on one side
through a pipe direct from the boiler,
and then passes successfully through
the second and third turbines on the
same side. 1t then goes to set of
turbine on the other side of the loco
motive. from the last of which the ex-
hausted steam passes into the stack
through the exhaust blast nozzle. The
outcome of the new invention will be
awaited with interest, not only on ac-
count of the extension Of use of the
turbine, but also for the fact that the
modern steam locomotive is an uneco-
nomical piece Of machinery. requiring

Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid OF
That Pomposity.
Some Of the most successful bust
ness men in this country make it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ, no matter
how important his position may be,
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as indispensable" says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, II We look into it, We shall
find that there Is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that, the mo-
ment a man looks upon himself as alb
solutely necessary. he. usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to. that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization Is
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct of
managers, superintendent, or heads
OF departments, after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation Of ones own Inn
portance is as disastrous in its re-
suits as utter lack Of self-esteem. II

CHAPTER KIN.
TY1.

Ulin hesitated and trembled, and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen. In a
few moments she had recovered her.
self so that she could speak without
faltering.
Good sir, have one question to ask
you." She went ON hurriedly. as
though the old impulse still led her:
You had not planned to leave the
cave so soon?"
II had planned nothing about it,
lady"
Buff had not been here, with
my servant. you would have remained
longer?"
Lady. do not ask me such ques,
tions.''
81 must ask them, sir, for 1 want
to know. If thought that my pres
ence here had caused you to leave
your old home, I should be most un-
happy. When 1 came here did not
know how near and dear this place
was to you. II one OF us must go,
let me find some other resting place."
Julian started and trembled like an
aspen. moment it was SO, and then
he turned upon the maiden a look so
earnest and SO deep and SO full of
tumultuous feeling, that she shook be-
meath it.
Lady" he said. speaking almost in
whisper, you shall know the Sc
cret which had purposed never to
reveal to mortal being. The words
are forced from me. Let me speak
them now; and then let them be for
gotten. When l heard that the king
of Damascus had shut up fair maid
en- within the Palace of Lycanius, and
that he meant to make that maiden
his wife, l felt my heart grow sick
within me and I resolved, il the fair
one was held against her will, that I
would set her free. 1 led my brave
men to the palace and overcame the
guard which the king had set. Heaven
was opened, but in the blessed realm
l was offered no abiding place. I saw
the loved spirit of light within the
cave which had been the home of NV
childhood; but my love l dared not

THE EARTH A MAGNET.
Interesting Phenomena Observed In
Deep Behring'S.

Interesting Phenomena Observed In
Deep Behring'S.
Old Mother Earth is magnet and
sometimes gives evidence on a small
scale of her ability to transfer her
magnetism to other objects. Magnet
ism is derived by. the steel castings of
deep borings or wells from their posi-
ton in the magnetic field of the earth.
Instances are known where the mag
netism has been so strong that large
sized steel spikes or monkey wrenches
stick to the walls of the casing and
difficulty is found in lowering even
heavily weighted steel tapes because
the tapes are attracted to and held
against the sides of the casing. Dia-
mond drill rods, again, are found some
times to be magnetized strongly be-
cause Of their position in the earth's
magnetic field. In examining the Dor
ings it was found that they were in
clined several degrees from the verti-
cal toward the north, thus becoming
more nearly parallel with the lines of
force of the earth's magnetic field.
As is well known, an iron bar held In
this position becomes more magnetic
than when held in the east and west
line. The drill rods hold heavy steel
spikes placed in contact with them and
exert a noticeable pull on heavier iron
objects, such as hammers and other
steel tools

ConquerinS the Colorado.

The first of the great American riv-
ers to be completely held in bondage
by a dam will be the Colorado. The
Laguna dam, twelve miles above Yu-
ma, Ariz., will be completed by the
government in two years. 1t will be
4,S0O feet long and will be secured at
the ends in the mountains which COM
press the Colorado at that point into
this narrow width. The dam will con-
sist of three massive concrete parallel
walls, the spaces filed with stones
and the whole width of the dam op
top 244 feet. This great barrier will
weigh 100000 tons. and. although 1t
will not rest upon rock, it's weight will
be such that not even the Colorado
will be able to dislodge it. In low wa
ter the dam will back the river up and
afford irrigation for 100000 acres Of
rich bottom land, and in flood time the
Colorado will thunder over the top.

IMPROVED TOBACCO PIPE.

lation opening in the bottom. The body
OF the pipe is made up of three mem
bers, which are threaded together as
indicated in the drawing. The central
member contains the bowl proper, or
holder. This consists of sleeve with
wire netting over each end. The net
ting at the lower end is carried in q
cap hinged to the tobacco holder. A
suitable lining is interposed between
the holder and the body of the pipe.
In use the bottom section of the pipe
body is removed and the holder is
filed with tobacco. The latter is now
lighted in the usual manner and the
section screwed on again. The top
section of the pipe body is provided
with a lining. which will absorb any
tainted saliva or nicotine that passes
up into the upper section. This lining
can be removed at any time and re-
placed by a new one. AS the tobacco
is almost completely inclosed, no
sparks can pass out and the pipe is
thus rendered perfectly safe in almost
any place.-Scientitic American.

FREAKS OF THE LAVA.
Some Curious Incidents of an Over
flow of Vesuvius.

Some Curious Incidents of an Over
Aov of Vesuvius.
At one house, which had been entire
~ surrounded by the flood, but not de-
stroyed, one saw people, on top of the
mass of lava, entering the upper win
dows with ladder and bringing forth
their household goods to transport
them to a place of safety. One vine
yard was surrounded on three sides by
this dividing current, and it was pos
sible to walk into it among the lines
of trimmed vines and to perceive the
fire still glowing in the towering walls
of lava on each side. The people at
tributed this remarkable phenomenon
to the miraculous Intervention of their
Madonna, "Our Lady of the Shows"
with whose sacred image they had con-
fronted the all devouring monster
sweeping implacably down on their ap-
parently doomed homes.
Step by step the priests and the faith
full. singing the litany, retreated as the
awful flood swept on, and still the
sound of singing and prayer rose above
the fearful roar of the torrent and the
thunder of the mountain above, belch
bombs and enormous swirls of cinder,
sand and smoke, which rose to great
heights. Yard by yard the lava swept
onward. Now a palatial villa would be
surrounded by the torrent, crushed
down and disappear in smoke; now
weeping peasant would see his little
cottage and vineyard, his all, go under
in an instant.
One poor woman was thus watching
the fate of her earthly belongings from
a little eminence when smaller crater
came roaring forth at her very feet
She turned to fee, fell, rolled to the
bottom OF the little hill, and the next
moment the lava flowed forth like the
foam from glass of beer and swept
over the spot where she had been
standing an instant before.-William
p Andrews in Century
