The manner in which Thanksgiving
day was first instituted as a national
festival has especial interest During
the war for Independence eight public
and general thanksgivings were order
ed by the Continental congress, but aft
err the general thanksgiving for peace
in 1884 the proclamations were discon-
tinued until 1850. when the first ma
tional thanksgiving was proclaimed by
President Washington, the time desig
mated being the last Thursday In No
vember.
The special purpose. as recommended
to congress, was to give thanks for the
adoption of the constitution. In 1895
the suppression Of the whisky insurrec-
ton was recognized by presidential

festival was gradually adopted by the

POWER FROM WASTE STEAM.
New Type Of Turbine Utilizes Exhaust
From Reciprocating Engines.

New Type of Turbine Utilizes Exhaust
From Reciprocating Engines.
The advent Of the steam turbine en-
CINE has proved beyond cavil that full
ly half the power of steam is wasted
In the exhaust Of the old reciprocating
types of steam engines. says the Phil
adelphia Record.
1t was only few years ago that
Charles G. Curtis, working in the
shops of the General Electric company
at Schenectady. N. Y, proved that the
turbine engine was commercial pos
sibility. and since that date hundreds
Of these turbine engines have been
placed In the mills and factories The
turbine engine, as is well known, Is a
form Of steam engine which Is pro-
PEELED by steam power In much the
same way as water wheel Is driven
by the weight and fall Of water. The
pressure of the steam striking against
q large number Of curved blades
whirls the moving parts Of the engine.
Very recently it was found that a
CeTtulu type VI WIN ga
tra large blades could be made which
would utilize the exhaust steam from
the old reciprocating engines and turn
It into valuable horsepower One cleo
trio light station in Pennsylvania felt
the need for more power, so asked for
bids to install new engines When
the engineer came to figure on the job
he recommended large low pressure
Curtis turbine to be installed to use
the exhaust steam from the old en-
gines. Such a turbine was placed and
today it turns this old waste steam
into 500 horsepower without burning
pound more Of coal.
Steam at two or three pounds pres
sure when exhausted into vacuum is
capable of great power If the work
ing surface Of the engine is large
enough 1t could not be used in Il
reciprocating engine to advantage be-
cause the cylinders would have to be
enormous to take care Of such vol
ume Of low pressure steam. But the
low pressure turbine equipped with
wide blades will do the trick very
nicely.

A Collect For Thanksgiving Day.

I thank thee. Father. for thy sky.
Wherein thy little sparrows fly:
For unseen hands that build and break
The cloud pavilions for my sake.
This fleeing beauty. high and wild.
Toward which / wonder as q child.
And thanks for mornings stir and light
And for the folding hush Of night:
For those high deities that spread
The star filled chasm overhead:
For elfin chemistries that yield
The green fires Of the April field:
For all the foam and surge OF bloom.
For leaves gone glorious to their DOOM
All the wild ioveliness that can
Touch the immortal in q man.
Father Of Life. l thank thee. too.
For old acquaintance. near and true:
For friends who came into my day
And took the loneliness away:
For faith that held on to the last.
For all sweet memories Of the past
Dear memories Of my dead that send
Long thoughts Of life and OF life's end.
That make me know the light conceals
A deeper world than 1t reveals.
