Firing Locomotives by Machine.

FROM Inc Engineering Ma&lZlue
Modern traffic requirements have put
the motive power departments OF most
of the large railroads at their wits ends
to try to design locomotives capable of
hauling the heavy trains at the speed that
the public demands. The use of steel
cars has added another weight to the ever
increasing load. Electrif1cation solves the
problem for suburban and interurban
work, but for long distance hauls steam
is still the agent. To design a locomotive
within the roadway limits capable of gen.
Grating SUFFICIENT supply of steam for
the demands made upon it, by furnace
within the limits Of hand-firing. is diff
cult problem indeed. Yet the motive
power officials are confronted with it
every day.
There are limits to human ability and
endurance and the modern locomotive
ffrebox taxes them to the utmost. StOker
installations have been made on a number
Of locomotives with varied success. but
the railroads either expected the stoker
companies to adapt the stoker to the loco
motive or the stoker companies expected
the railroads to adapt the locomotive to
the stoker, with failure as a result in
either case. Cooperation is needed. The
stoker designed must understand the rail-
road mans point of view; the locomotive
designer must understand the stoker de-
signer's theory and principles. 1t again
appears to me that the underfeed stoker
is best adapted to this service. for the
rounding of curves and nosing and rolling
of the locomotive would seriously hamper
the operation of a moving crate mocha
nism. If the underfeed stoker was used
it would necessitate a closed ashpit with
forced draft Many beneficial results
would be obtained from a properly de-
signed installation of this character.

ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY.
Movement in Which American UNI

FROM Inc SenluEs
The experimental movement which has
chara cterized the last quarter-century OF
human psychology has, within ten years.
been rigidly applied to the study OF the
psychic life of animals. The animal mind.
hitherto a region of myth and field for
human fancy. has been subjected TO Sc
we're experimental conditions. with view
to determine accurately what ii involves.
Studies have been made on the senses, on
memory. on the power of association. on
the presence of ideas, and on the ability
to learn by imitation. Activities in the
field have become SO numerous that ami
NAL psychology may fairly be termed

Wash Day.
rom the Philadelphia Ledge


Every now and then a new holiday
gets itself added to the calendar, and
at present. for the nation as whole
or for its constituent commemorative,
there are something like thirty-three days
set aside by statute for commemorative
celebration and jollification. Pennsylvania
observes twelve of these festal occasions.
Christmas is not unique among the days
of the running year, in the fact that 1t
is celebrated only once in a twelvemonth,
though doubtless Thomas Tusser, who
some three centuries ago first called at
tention to the fact in his immortal line.
Christmas comes hut once year.

covery. The pyrotechnical pleasures of
the Fourth of July. the dietetic delights
of Thanksgiving day. the patriotic per-
a long. long interval betwixt each of
these festivals and its next annual re-
currence. But there is a working day
which Is reiterated fifty-two times every
year (and in every seventh leap year
tffty-three). which. by virtue Of the inno-
cent diversion that it does not yield. de-
serves to take precedence over all the
holy days. and that is. namely. Wash
day. which from prehistoric times until
the present has always fallen on a Mon

To those who dwell in marble halls

of an electric bell: whose provision for
every kind of creature comfort is waited
toward them as by magic: whose life
is upholstered against shock of any
sort and insulated against discomfort
and the least uneasiness. Wash day is
no buga hoo. no looming apparition of
cooks hot temper and a late. cold
dinner and general wreckage of the
domestic economy. The rich can afford
to laugh at the jokes on the subject
that appear in the comic weeklies. But
to the average citizen. who has to set
out his own sprinkler on the lawn. and
to his wife. who has to wash the dishes
herself when the maid -allwork is
mangling the clUhes-Wash day Is more
like funeral than festival.

LOST CITY OF THE SAHARA
ARABS FIND DESERTED TOWN
BUILT OF COPPER.
Expedition Will Set Out From Egypt
to Visit the Oasis Of Siwa-An-
tiquarians Expectant.

Cairo Cor. Pail Mall Gazette.
The Egyptian Gazette announced quite
recently that an important expedition is
to start shortly into the Sahara in search
OF the City of Furnished Copper. the re-
mains of which are said to exist there.
but which has been lost to human sight
for many centuries.
The expedition will also visit the Oasis
Of silva. where the great Senussi tribe
has one Of its headquarters. and will also
explore Jarabub the Mecca of the Sc
nussi, into which as yet no European has
penetrated.
Interest has been revived in this an
cient city by the recital of some Arabs.
who not long ago returned from those
parts. 1t was quite by accident that they
came upon it. They were endeavoring to
smuGgle contraoand across from Tripoli
last winter. but were surrounded by the
coast guards.
Some of the band got away and rode
steadily southwark for three days. They
wandered for long time in the hope of
getting on the beaten track again. for
their provisions had come to an end.
The Lost ''City Of Copper
They had given up all hope. when sud
denly they saw on.the horizon a glitter
ing mass like large city. which at first
appeared 10 them to be but the delusive
effect of a mirage.
On closer acquaintance 1t turned out to
be a real deserted city built OF FURNISHED
copper. They entered 1t, but the only
signs Of life were some sand grouse,
which they promptly shot.
They explored the entire place. and
then, replenishing their water at one Of
the excellent wells in the city, they set
out on the beaten track again and re-
turned to Cairo.
arrival, and their tale acquired many fan
tastic features in the telling. for there
is no more imaginative being than al
Arab. Their story naturally got to the
ears of the antiquity authorities. who
after making due allowances. came to
the decided conclusion that the city seer
by these Arabs is identical with the los,
"City of Copper" the legends of which
appear in very ancient manuscripts.
Relics Of Fine Workmanship.
Proof that the Arabs are not inventins
the whole story was afforded by some
relics Of copper which they brought back
and which are of very fine workmanship
and unique design. Apparently the city is
in an excellent state of preservation. due
no doubt, to the dry Sahara air.
The Egyptian government antiquities de-
partment is lending every assistance to
the expedition, which is being privately
financed. and which will be under the
leadership of Mr.. Dow Covington, who
for many years has been engaged in ex-
ploring Egyptian antiquities.
The expedition will to certain extent
be aided by the Senussi tribe. and it is
expected that most interesting and valu-
able information-apart from antique rel.
ics-of this ancient site, which had been
completely swallowed up in the wide eX-
panse of the Sahara, will result from this
enterprise.

Evolution Of the Foot.
From the Strand Magazine.


1t is evident that in what is called the
evolution Of animal forms the foot came
in suddenly when the backboned crea-
lures began to live on the dry land-that
is. with the frogs. How it came in is a
question which still puzzles the phylo-
genists. who cannot find a sure pedigree
for the frog. There it Is. anyhow, and
the remarkable point about 1t is that the
foot of the frog is not a rudfmentary
thing, but an authentic standard foot,
like the yard measure kept in the Tower
of London. of which all other feet are
copies or adaptations. This instrument,
as part of the original outfit given to the
pioneers of the brainy, backboned and
four-limbed races, when they were sent
out to multiply and replenish the earth. is
surely worth considering well. 1t con-
sists essentially of sole or palm. made
up of small bones, and of Ave separate
digits. each with several joints.
In the hind foot Of frog the toes are
very long and webbed from point to point
In this it differs good deal from the
toad, and there is significance in the diff
ference. The ''heavy-gaited toad" salts
fled with sour ants. hard beetles and such

life, like a plethoric old gentleman. until
the present day, on its original feet. The

seeking better diet and greater security Of
life, went back to the element in which
it was bred and. swimming much. became
better fitted for swimming. The soft,
elastic skin between the fingers or toes is
Just the sort of tissue which responds
most readily to inward impulses. and We
find that the very same change has come
about in those birds and beasts which
live much in the water. l know that this
is not the accepted theory of evolution.
but I am waiting until it shall become SO.
We all develop in the direction of our
tendencies, and shall, l doubt not, be
wise enough some day to give animals
leave to do the same.

Trouble in the Royal Palace.
From Success Magazine.


The Shakespeare Club of New Orleans
used to give amateur theatrical per-
formances that were distinguished for
the local prominence of the actors. Once
a social celebrity, with a gorgeous cos
tune. as one of the lords in waiting. had
only four words to say: THE queen has
swooned.' AS he stepped forward. his
friends applauded rociferously. Bowling
his thanks. he faced the king and said
in a very high-pitched voice, The swoon
has queened."
There was a roar of laughter but he
waited patiently. and made another at
tempt:
THE sween has cooned.'
Again the walls trembled and the stage
manager said, in a voice which could be
heard all over the house, Come OFF. you
doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused to
surrender. and. in a rasping falsetto, as
he was assisted off the stage. he scream
ed: The coon has sweened.''

The Bacillus Of Beauty.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
A man of science has arisen to an

stances. After this. we. trust that no
