A Boomerang Contract.

The author Of "a Temperance Town
and "a Texas Steer" spent much of his
time in his country home, but one day
he appeared unexpectedly in New York
at the Lambs club. Going straight to
the cafe he made one large. inclusive
gesture, which brought every man pres
ent about him. Its on me" said Mr..
HOyt. Then he told his story.
It was before the days of electric and
gasoline motors, and he had bought Il
little steam yacht. He engaged as his
engineer one of his Yankee neighbors
and offered him liberal wages, with
the provision that the engineer should
find his own coal. 1t was Il long way
to the nearest coal yard, and Mr.. Hoyt
had all the trouble he was looking for
to keep his own furnace fed.
"But where shall l get the coal?'
the new engineer asked.
II don't care" said the foremost Of
American stage humorists. "Steal it."
So the bargain was struck All went
we'll until in the early autumn Mr.
Hoyt went into his cellar to see how
much more coal he would have to
purchase for the winter OF sew
eral tons on hand in the spring only
two or three scuttlefuls remained. The
theft was speedily traced to the engi-

The Sun and the Telescope.

The popular notion is that the as
tronomer points his telescope directly
at the sun and fires his vision point
blank across the chasm of millions of
miles. Instead, says writer in the
Ohio Magazine. the Grant sun rays
are lassoed by coelestate-a great
circular. mirror driven by clockwork
in such manner that it throws its
light into another mirror above. and
this in turn sends the long, concen-
trated beam far into the interior of
the telescope house The two mir
rors move in automatic adjustment to
each other. so that the solar beams
may be shot into the building, no mat
ter in what portion Of the sky the sun
may be situated. At the farther end
of the building the reflected sunbeam
strikes a concave mirror which catch
es the light and. flashing it back to-
ward the opening whence it first en-
tered. focuses it into perfect image
Of the sun.

RAILROAD REPORTS.

reports of the railroads brought to his
desk as they are received at the com.

full study of them, particularly as to
certain features. Picking up that OF
the Rock Island he said that the earn
ings were approximately $6S,00O per
mile. and that they have spent 20 per
cent of it for operation, though the
tonnage is heavy and the road enters
the coal fields.
In contrast, in the matter of light
tonnage, comparatively speaking, and
distance from the coal fields, the
Texas Central averaged about $4,000
in earnings per mile and spent only
So per cent for operation. while the
