CHEVY CHASE.

The Old Rodgers Mansion and the F..
nous Washington Club.
Doubtless few of the many thousands
Of persons who have read Of Chevy
Chase have any idea of the interesting
history attached to the clubhouse and
surroundings. Part OF the old colonial
structure as it stands today was erect
ed in l747 and from that time until a
few years ago remained In the Rodg-
ers family. In the war of 1872, when
the British were advancing on, Wash
ington, the. army and navy I. records
were: taken from the White House and
secreted in the cellar Of the Rodgers
mansion. where they were kept for
several days. -,
The Rodgers family has been famous
In the American navy. no fewer than
seven having served as sadmirals. The
estate consisted Of something like 200
acres, and as the Identifying Of the
property was always hobby Of its
owners it is not surprising that un-
usual taste should have been shown in
laying 1t out. 1t Is fact that there
are los varieties of trees and bushes
to be found within a stones throw Of
the clubhouse. Not far from the pres
ent fourth green there was once a
sunken garden. but this Is scarcely
more than memory now.
The Chevy Chase club took posses
sion in 1888 and at f1rst rented the
DroDerty from the Rodgers estate, but
later the club purchased 200 acres.
Several horse shows have been con-
Quoted on the property. and some
years back the regular old fashioned,
county fairs were popular there. The
membership consists Of persons promi-
nent in Washington socially. 1t is only
half an hours ride from the treasury
to the door of the clubhouse.-Ex-

THE SMALLEST ENGINE.
Tiny Affair Which Weighs No More
Than an Ordinary Match.

| Tiny Tim is the name of the
smallest engine in the world. 1t is
made of gold and steel, and is so
small that common house fly seems
large in comparison, says Answers.
| 1t weighs just four grains complete,
which is the weight of an ordinary
match. 1t takes over 10 such en-
gines to weigh one ounce, and al
most 1900 to weigh a pound.
The engine bed and stand are of
gold. The shaft runs in hardened
and ground steel bearings inserted
in the gold bed. These bearings are
counterbored from the inside to form
a self-oiling bearing. The fly wheel
has a steel center and arms, with
gold rim, and the complete wheel
weighs one grain. The cylinder is of
steel, with octagonal base, highly
polished. The stroke is 1872 of an
inch; bore, 3-1O0 of an inch. Sew
enteen pieces are used in the con-
struction of this engine
The speed of the engine is 5000
revolutions per minute When run
ming 100 per second no motion is
visible to the eye, but it makes
noise like the noise of a mosquito.
The horse power is 1-489,0OO of one
horse power. Compressed air is used
to run it; and it may be of interest
to note that the amount required to
make it hum can easily be borne on
the eyeball without winking.

HALLEYS COMET ONE OF SKYS HARMLESS HOBOS

100000 -~1~~~@>~>-@~r |->~N~~~~N~@~~-|~~~N
hand Jupiter has no more trouble
in catching an extra comet now and
then, if one happens in the way, than
a skilled fisherman has in landing
sinner Astronomers look upon
/ Jupiter as a prize comet catcher. A
| little less than half a century back
the earth butted through the tail of
a comet and few people knew about
it until it was all over.
Today most astronomers say that
the comet heads are made up of me-
teoric particles, but whether these
particles are the size of young noun
tains or whether they are not bigger
than pebbles is still under dispute.
| The tails are held to be masses of
rarified gas-gas that would delight
and amaze the heart of a Zeppelin.
A Mr.. Keppler, who was an as
tronomer of some consideration, cal
culated that comets are about as
plentiful in the ocean of extension
as fish are in a well-stocked sea-
Some of them are as erratic as cells.
Lots of them butt into this particu-
lar solar system at headlOng rate,
swoOp around the sun, and scurry
until some other sun, Sirius perhaps,
or Alpha Centauri, or Vega or Porais
or Antares or Aldebaran, gathers
them into it's fold for a brief or per-
haps a permanent stay.
Called Them Hairy Stars.
The Greeks were wont to call the
comets hairy stars" perhaps be-
cause their caudal appendices some
times look like soup strainers."
Then again it may have been because
a comet appears in the dim distance
a small, hairly ball. If it intends to
become real, full-groWn comet it
later develops its streamer. Donati's
comet which came in 1858 and then
lit out for Goodyear excursion
somewhere or other, had a tail 60
degrees long. The comet of 1882
developed a tail two hundred mil
lion miles long. 1t was visible in the
daytime sticking out on each side
of the sun.
Back in 1870 a comet passed with
in 100000 miles of the earth
Its head appeared to be four times
the size of the disc of the moon, but
it was a very thin affair, and it prob
ably would have made no great diff
ference had it run plump into our
planet

NO ACHES IN NEW CUCUMBER
Vention Has Thick Skin and Is
Unusually Sweet.

SPOKANE, Wash.-George Z.
Brown, orchardist and truck garden
er at Spokane Bridge, has succeeded
in growing what he proudly terms a
lemon cucumber" This product is
the result of a series of experiments
covering six years, following gradual
tion at the agricultural department
of the University of Wisconsin.
The lemon cucumber is almost
spherical. but larger than a lemon,
and besides having a thick skin and
unusually sweet meat is entirely
free from qualities producing i'll eff
fects upon the stomach.
One acre of young orchard land
with cucumbers growing between
rows of trees yielded fully $500
worth of the product, for which
there is ready market at Seattle,
Portland, Tacoma and Spokane
Brown allows the cucumber to
reach only a certain size, saying that
an additional days growth would
spoil the value of the product as to
taste and nutrition He will plant
10 acres to the product next spring,
when he will also enlarge his acre
age of brown sugar cane, with which
he made a striking success this sea-
son.

LOCKET BRINGS A FORTUNE.
Proves WOman's Claim to an Estate

NSAhseN CASSAAA W dH ESTATE

cause in January, 1871, she declined
to promise to obey" Mary E. Tor
rance, nee Powers, was deserted at
the altar after the marriage cere-
mony had been performed, making
her the wife of James Torrance.
After almost 68 years Mrs. Laurel
Speer of Elizabeth township. proved
to the satisfaction of the orphans
court at Pittsburg that she is the
child that was born of this strange
marriage, and the court awarded her
half of the estate of her father,
James Torrance, who died worth So
100000 many years ago.
1t was not until Mrs. Speer pro-
duced lockets which had been ex-
changed between her mother and
father almost 70 years ago that the
court was convinced and ordered
that half the estate be given to Mrs.
Speer, who is now gray haired and

CHECKS UNDER 81 NO GOOD.
Congress Will Be Appealed to Change
Laws Application.

Laws Application.
A Washington dispatch says: Sec
rotary McVeagh of the treasury de-
partment and Attorney General
Wickersham are being appealed to
by congressman from various sec
lions of the country for interpreta-
ton of the law making it an offense
to circulate checks of sums less than
81. The wording of section IT'S of
the penal laws, approved March 4,
1909, is generally interpreted to
mean that after January, 1910, it
will be unlawful to write a check
for a sum less than 81, to be cir
culated as money or intended to be
received or used in lieu of lawful
money.
The protests largely come from
the big mail order houses, although
merchants all over the country have
joined in the demand that congress
at the next session amend the Sec
ton so as to eliminate it's applica-
ton to checks
