The Stes,, Encine.

The Marquis of Worcester while fh1 prisoned in the Tower of London iu 1856 invented and constructed a pee feet steam engine and had it publicly exhibited t.le same gear at Vauxhau ill successful operation. Thirty-four years later, in 1890. Dennis Papin add. ed the piston to the marquis discovery In 1898 Captain Savary devised and built steam engine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin. and in 1705 Newcomb, Cav ley and Savary constructed their cele. brated atmospheric engine, which was complete ill every detail. The above array of historical facts notwithstand- ing. James Watt. who was not born until sixty years after these great men had given the steam engine to the world. enjoys the distinction of being the workable inventor, originator and author ef the most useful contrivance of the present day. Fulton, who lived and worked in the early part of the nineteenth century, is given the credit of being the man who demonstrated that steam could be applied to naviga- tion-this, too, in face of the wet known historical fact that De Gary propelled vessel by steam in the har, bor of Barcelona in 1543.-St. JameB Gazette.

Partners as Household Pets.

"A British official in an out of the way Persian district invited me to stay at his house for a night" mar. rates a globe trotter. "I was comfort. ably settled upon a sofa just before dinner when my rest was suddenly dis turbed by a loud bang at the sitting room door. which. flying open, admit ted two enormous animals, which at first took for dogs.
 ''Both of them made at once for my sofa, and. while the larger one curled comfortably round my feet and com posed itself to sleep. the smaller one seated itself on the floor and com- menced licking my face and hands. an operation which had l dared should strongly have resented.
 "But those white. cleaning teeth and flashing green eyes filled me with something akin to terror. To my re. lief, my host entered at this juncture.
 Making friends with the partners, 1 sec he remarked pleasantly. They are nice. companionable beasts
 That may have heen true at the time. The fact remains. however, that three months atterward one of them devourel q native child. "-I17::uon Tel sgraph.

keepina Time In Holland.

Railroad time. as we generally an deestand the phrase in the United Statss, is a little ahead of the town time, but in The Haguk, the quaint old capital Sf Holland, all private and un. official Clocks and watches are kept twenty minutes fast" said a traveller. "When fl is noon in the railway sta ton, postoffice and other government buildings of The Hague the timepieces in the. shops and the watches of the sturdy burghrrs show 1920 p. m. Just what reason there is for this don't know, although asked enlightenment In many quarters. It seems custom that has been handed down for gener. at1ons, and the Dutch are too conserv. attve to change the ways of their pro genitors without some mighty induce ment"-Ba1timor American.

TOWER O. LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which 1t
 Treasures Are Guarded.

The Perfect System by Which Its
 Treasures Are Guarded.
 The Tower of London has tlie mos perfec, system of burglar alarins taa has yet been devised.
 From Scotland Yard. from the gov ernor's headquarters and from othee places known only to Il few respon. sible officials the whole Tower can be closed electrically within q few sec. Onds. Eveu the ponderous gates at the middle tower. which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass. swing to automatically. and the escape of every one within is instantly barred. At the same time an alarm bell rings to warn wardens, police and soldiers.
 In particular the precautions in the apartment containing the crown jew. els are of most scientifically elabo- rate kind. One of the beefeaters ep duty in the room has merely to press a button. whereupon the heavy doof closes. the alarm bell below rings. the other gates slam to and lock. aud every person within the tower is lnstan1'V cut off from the outer world.
 1.-The man who can get away "Hh any of the crown jewels deserves them, observed Tower ofheiai' "From where l am standing l could close every important door and gate in the Tower in as short tme as Il takes to utter these words.
 It was mainly to insure the sa1ety of tue crown jewels that the system was installed.
 No order had been issued TOT tne closing of the Tower on recent ea' ur1ay when. greatly to their alarm the visitors found doors locked. bolteo and barred against them for aoout .tu minutes, preventing any one leaving the Tower. . l.
 .rhe Tower simply closed-that IS al," remarked an official.

 What pocket are you going to car ry your watch in-the right or lcft?'
 "I told him the left.
 "'Then.' said he, I will regulate fl for the left
 "I asked what difference 1t made, and he declared that a watch runs faster on the left side than on the eight, so to keep it from gaining timp ne regulates it accordingly. In fine "atches the difference is hardly wort ! considering, but in watches of cl,ea[ r make like mine 1t is very noticeable asked for scientific reason for thi. variation. He could give none; said h. only knew it was true. and then whether he was faking or not, he pre tended to regulate my watch for th. left pocket.'-New York Sun.

The mother was In despair. and when the doubt full prognosis was given she broke Into waiIing and violent self condem= nation for some horrible sin of the, fanily to which she said the chld's illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curSe the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from ''the force" and such evil ways should be "onOuHced forever
 Curious to know how the magistrate '-ould be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime of the poor conscience stricken. woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis. tered as residing in her house. iD swearing to the lie. etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for fndescrtb- able political favors.
