Young anything he asks. He earned IT,.
Young reported to Annapolis i'm 1863,
TO be admitted as a cadet. When he
took his examination he spelled Europe

than any man at the Academy. The
officers in charge Of the examination
said an K more or less in Europe

a man with a physique like Young )
SO he was admitted

Young volunteered, jerked of part OF
his clothes, and over he went As he
jumped a sailor went with him. The
two got 20 shore somehow. and saved
13l men who would otherwise have been
lost. In his report. the captain said he

TEST NEW WATER SCOOP
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany May Adopt New
Invention.

Experts employed by the PennsyI-
vania Railroad company are testing a
new type of water scoop to be placed
between the tracks, from which engines
Of both freight and passenger trains
will take water. The scoop now in
use has been found to work all right
for passenger trains moving at a
speed of forty or fifty miles an hour
but does not work well for freight
trains, which move at only fifteen or
twenty miles an hour.
The company's plan is to secure a
scoop that will not only work well for
slowly moving freight trains. but which
will also work well without splash
ing so much water about as the one
now in use. and which will supply a
freight train as easily as it now does a
fast passenger train. Connected with
the trains making the tests is a spe-
cially fitted car for the purpose of TAX
ing photographs of the trains while
they move across the water trough.
The tests are being made under the
direction of W. Brooke Moore, passen-
ger trainmaster.
