One day they noticed that the strip was
getting emaciated They held a hurried
diagnosis with surveyors tape and found
that half of it had been washed away. The
next year half of the remainder had gone.
The men wanted to sell then. but the mar
ket seemed remarkably sluggish. The next
year the river ate so vigorously that only
a tiny strip about as wide as "A piece Of
baby ribbon was left The men were
much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to increase. The
Missouri had chosen the late manufactur
ing site for a place to deposit a fine 100
acre farm upon which it had foreclosed up
the river. Inside of six months that strip
Of land contained 200 acres. The men
were jubilant, but still they would not sell.
They wanted another 100 acres. they said.
They strolled along the bank each day and
urged the river, in proprietary tones. to
build faster.
Then the river changed its mind once
more and not only wiped out the extra 100
acres, but the original 100 acres. every

STRENGTH OF BUILDINGS.
Engineers Calculations Based OF
Data That May Mislead.

From the Literary Digest.
The engineers calculations Of the
strength OF a building, q bridge or other
structure are based on certain data repre-
senting the properties Of the materials used.
These are derived from experiment. and as
1t is well recognized that they are not
exact, a very large safety factor is allowed;
that Is. the structure IS made theoretically
many times stronger than necessary. But
We are told by Prof. Barr Of Glasgow Uni
versity. In an address delivered before the
Aberdeen Association Of Civil Engineers.
that the discrepancies between the received
data and the truth are often greater than
is commonly supposed. He says, as quoted
in Technical Literature:
The materials used in a structure may
not-usually do not-conform to our as
sumption as to strength and properties OF
those materials. In many cases the ma
terials. as actually used. are not SO strong
as we are led to believe by the applica ton
of the tests described in certain text books.
There Is no definite value that can be stated
as the strength Of particular kind of ma
ter1al without many reservations, and many
more reservations than can be conveyed In
the ordinary books of reference. To take q
particular specimen Of steel or fron and to
say that its strength Is 1888 tons per
square inch. has really no meaning. To say
that IT'S strength Is about twentynine tons
per square inch may be true: but to state
the strength down to the hundredth of a ton
is nonsense. Two pieces cut from the same
material may have different strengths. The
strength Of any material may be affected
by exceptional treatment which text books
may not have taken into account. Those
strengths that are quoted in text books as
the strengths of materials are strengths
that were got by the use OF testing ma
chimes when the specimen was pulled
gradually and quietly. But II we apply a
load to a piece of material and remove the
load, and again apply the load and remove
1t, and on. we will find that far less
than twenty-five tons per square inch will
break a piece Of Yorkshire iron. The ordi-
nary formulas that are used to find the
intensity Of the stress in pieces OF material
are usually very far wrong. Engineers
should avoid discontnuity of form as far as
possible. If they apparently strengthen a
piece of material they often weaken it.
Engineers should be careful to make things
not only strong enough. but not too strong.
1t is dangerous to trust any formula with
out thinking oat carefully what Is implied
in the formula. and considering in what
way the practical conditions with which
we are dealing differ from the practical
conditions laid down in the formula

NEW YORK GETS THE MIsFITs.
From All Over the Country Tailors
Send Their Mistakes There.


Send Their Mistakes There.
From the New York Sun.
For time a sublimated old clo' man used
to have everything his own way in the mis-
at line He was far down town and kept
in addition to his stock Of cheap ready
made clothes misflt garments made by other
tailors.
He began business by dealing only in the
garments sent here by London tailors and
sold by their customers because they could
not be made to fit. Later he extended his
trade to the extent Of taking the same sort
Of mistakes turned out by smart 9th avenue
tallors. To this day he thrives in the same
store in which he frst began a business
unknown before that time In New York.
AS there is limit to London insists and
those created on 5th avenue. and the de-
large, other fields had to be explored for
the supply. These have been found. and
smart tailors In other cities In the United
States are now proudly advertised as the
source of garments which are not at all In
the same class as the ready-made and are
distinctly above anything like second
hand suit.
The new garments that supply the New
York demand for misfits come from Brown
of Boston. Smith OF Chicago and Jones or
Washington Then follow along Kansas
City. Detroit. Providence and various cities
that were never before regarded as centers
Of the tailor's art.
The history of these garments before they
reach New York is simple. The old clio
business Is now SO thoroughly organized
that buyers are in every large city. The
best market for these misfit suits Is here.
Men who deal In secondhand clothes in
other cities know that the New York deal
ers want all the misfit garments they can
buy and promptly send on to this city any
clothing of that kind they able to get
hold Of. This has resulted In the purchase
of all misfit suits for the metropolitan mar
ket.
In any other city such garments sell SIM
ply as secondhand clothes, the glamour
of the "misft'' has not travelled so far.
Here they fetch higher prices than the
cheapest ready-made clothes.

A Seminole Legend.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The Seminole Indians believed that when
the Great Spirit created this world He made
three men, all fair of skin. He led them to
a lake and babe them jump in. The first
obeyed and came out whittier than when he
entered the waters; the second hesitated.
going into the lake when the water was a
trifle muddy. hence came out copper col
ored: the third leaped In last and came out
black.
According to the legend the Great Spirit
then led them to three bundles. asking each
to choose one. The black man chose the
heaviest which was found to contain a
spade, hoes and other implements used In
the performance Of manual labor: the sec
ond found in his sack a fishing rod, a gun
and warlike weapons: the white man chose
the sack which contained pen. ink and
paper. and this. so the story goes laid the
foundation for his superiority over other
races.

Targets for Anglers.
From Forest and Stream.


Not long ago several wood discs, one foot
In diameter, painted white and each pro-
vided with line and lead weight, were
placed in the pool In Central Park, this
city, by the Anglers Club. for targets for
fly and bait-casting AS a granitoid walk
adjoins the eastern end OF the pool, and
the targets furthest from the casting plat
form are near this walk, thousands Of
park visitors worry the lives 'out of the
policemen and park employees with ques-
tons relative to the purpose Of the white
discs. They have been asked if the strange
things are early llypads and everything
under the sun idle lounger can imagine.
One of the patromen told me the other
day that his naturally sweet temper had
been ruined since the appearance of them
things" But the most curious question OF
all was fired at me one day L watched

very unhappy over love affair
The queen sent for the girl and after ad-

him to Sandringham, too. The couple have

Alcohol From Cactus Plants.
lwaukee Sentinel,


Texas ranchers are much pleased with
the new denatnred alcohol law. for 1t is ex-
pected that they will be able to make a
goodly sum of money from the cactus plant,
which grows SO prolifically there" said A.
R. La Sage of Cincinnati. Large areas of
land in Texas are covered with cactus,
which has been almost useless up to this
time. 1t Is claimed that the leaves contain
a large amount Of raw material which.
when distilled, makes an excellent alcohol.
Portable stills have already been set up on
many Of the ranches for the double purpose
of making alcohol and fodder from the
plants
