Damascus, a Garden City.

Damascus is a garden city touched
by the great desert. Under its roses
one feels the sands. Beside its trem-
bling waters one dreams Of the trem-
bling mirage. The cry Of its muezzins
seems to echo from its mosque towers
to that most wonderful thing in nature
which Is God without man." The
breath of the wastes passes among the
poplars as that Bedouin boy passed
among the merchants when he came
and when be went In Damascus one
hears the two voices. And when one
looks from the sacred mountain upon
that city of dream. Graded among the
woods, one sees far OF the tawny be-
ginnings of that other magic which
looks out from the Bedouin's eyes.
And though perhaps with the pilgrims
from Samarkand one loves to rest be-
side the fountains under the hedges
Of roses, one is aware a the other
love, intercourse with which has made
Damascus an earthly paradise for
them and for you.-Robert HicAens in

A MONSTER PLOW.
Designed For Ten Horses, II Took Fifty
- Ean,x. IL

Designed For Ten Horses, II Took FIT,
to We've It.
What is said to be the largest pillow
in the world was Aade some years
ago at Bakersfield, Cal. This plow
was the result Of the ingenuity o. "a
ranch superintendent who had authori
ty to make improvements, but not to
introduce steam plows. The superin-
tendent had grown very tired Of pre-.
pairing 1900 acres Of land for wheat
with ordinary nine or twelve inch
plows drawn by two horses.
He argued that If two horses could
pull a twelve inch pillow six horses
could pull plow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
pillow forty-eight inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully, and,
being clever with his pencil, also made
drawings ana sent for blacksmiths and
machinists to construct plow on his
principle.
Some simple folk told him that his
great plow would not work, but they
contented themselves with saying this
dogmatically without giving any math-
ematical reason therefor. So the SUI
perintendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machinists fin
ished the pow In due time. The share
was made to cut a fifty inch furrow.
The top Of 1t reached i've feet above
the ground to give room to throw the
earth. The beam was more than a
foot thick, but the machine was con-
structed to run between two great
wheels. so that it could be turned
around easily, and ON the axle between
these wheels was the seat for the man
who was to drive the ten horses which
were hitched to it.
The plow was brought to the great
field, the ten horses were attached to
it, the handles were raised, the driver
mounted his seat, and the team was
started. But as soon as the share
struck well into the ground the horses
stopped short. They were stuck fast.
And yet the pillow had. not gone too
deeply into the earth. But it was evil
dent that they could not pull the pillow.
More horses were brought out, but not
until fifty were attached did the plow
move along.
Even then it required four men to
hold the handles in order to keep the
plow in the furrow. 1t was an eco
n0mic failure.
Then the superintendent, through
the intervention Of some one who Vas
better mathematician than he, learn
ed that he should have cubed the ca
pacity of bis twelve, inch pillow every
time he doubled the width Of THAR

mobilization of the German army in

MObil." went forth from the headquar-
tiers at Berlin, and within fortnight
an army Of 100000 men. fully uni

MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured ~ Means Of an
Ordinary Thermometer.

MAF 0e measured ~ mOAnS OF an
Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights OF mountains or of airships
can be measured by means Of an ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure Of the atmosphere on the SUR
face OF water the greater temperature
1t takes to boil it. AS we rise In the
air less and less pressure Of the air
occurs, and water will boil at a lower
temperature than 100 degrees C. (212
degrees FL. It has been figured out
that for few miles up for every
thousand feet Of ascent water will
boil degree lower. Thus If at the
bottom Of a mountain water boils at
80 degrees G. (210.2 degrees F.) and at
the top at SO degrees @. (2O8.4 degrees
Ed the mountain is thousand feet
high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long, SO that the
scales may be divided into fractions
OF degree. The entire instrument for
the work is termed a thermobarome-
ter, or hypsometer. 1t consists Of q
small metallic vessel for boiling wa
ter. on the inside Of which are placed
these delicate thermometers. Ganot
says that the accuracy of the height
Of mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means Of these instru-
ments. 1t is probably not quite that
accurate, as the pressure OF air does
not decrease uniformly as we ascend.
Nevertheless it is good adjunct to
the surveyor taking largely variable
profiles
or course the ordinary instrument
for taking heights without actually
measuring them is the barometer.
This is open to the same objection as
the thermometer, for its height de-
ponds on the pressure Of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever, it can be graduated to an en-
pirical scale to tell the heights and in
that case shows accuracy.-C Chicago

OLD MAN HARE.
The Actors Meeting With Gladstone
Outside the Theater.

Outside the Theater.
John Hare. the eminent English
actor-manager, said that the most de-
hghtful compliment he ever received
was from Mr.. Gladstone 1t was a
double ended compliment. Whichever
way you took it 1t was satisfactory.
Mr.. Hare earned fame playing old
mems parts. his character as Mr.. Gold
by in "A Pair of Spectacles', being a
good example. Added to this was a
horror of having his picture taken.
Mr.. Gladstone had never seen pic
ture Of the actor, but he knew him
well behind the scenes as well as be-
fore the footlights. The premiers ia
vorite play was "A Pair of Specta-
cles,'' and he always went behind the
scenes to chat awhile with the actor.
The really old man and the made up
old man would sit there and talk in
the most delightful way for an hour
after the show.
One day the Earl of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone to dinner, and he also
invited his friend John Hare. Tie
actor came in smooth shaved. looking
about thirty7fiye. He was presented
to Mr.. Gladstone. and the prime min
lister shook his hand most cordially
and said:
my dear sir. am very, very glad
to meet you. know your father very.
very well. Splendid actor! Fine old
mani"
It took the whole evening for the
earl and Mr.. Hare to convince him
that this son was really the father.
