ST. BERNARD PRIESTS
Twelve Years at Hospice Usually
Ruins Health

Fifteen priests and perhaps 20 Ia
borers live at the hospice of st. Ber-
nard, which stands some S,120 feet
above the level Of the sea, on noun
tain pass that forms one of the princi
pal highways between Switzerland and
Italy says the Chicago News.
The priests are all picked men, pos
sessed of great physical strength. They
remain at the hospice Is years, unless
their health breaks down. Twelve
years work generally ruins the consti-
tuition.
More than 10000 persons cross this
road every year, and as nearly two
thirds of this number accomplish the
journey in winter the monks and dogs
of the hospice, whose mission it is to
aid these travellers, may be said to be
responsible for many lives every year.
The hospice is one of the oldest institu-
tions in Europe. 1t was founded as far
back as 962 by Bernard de Mention for
the benefit of pilgrims journeying to
Rome. For many years after it was
first erected it was subject to frequent
attacks by bands of mountain robbers.
often the brave monks were forced TO
barricade themselves in their strong
hold until stress of weather drove the
besiegers away.
The monastery of ST. Bernard con-
sists Of plain block of gray buildings
with massive walls, built to resist the
wind and the weight of snow. In mid
winter the snow around the buildings
is to 10 feet deep, and sometimes
forms drifts against the edifice that
reach right up TO the roof. If the ex-
terror is disap appointing the same can not
be said of the interior. On the side re-
served for the better class of travellers
there is a spacious dining room con-
tanning a handsome piano presented to
the monks by King Edward, while the
bedrooms, with their spotless curtained
beds, are the essence of comfort Any
one crossing the pass is at perfect lib
erty to enter the hospice and accept
its hospitality. No traveller is ever
turned away.
Two good meals are served every day
namely, at II noon and D. m. At
these meals representatives of almost
every nation on earth may be seen
Italians naturally predominate. Next
come Swiss. then Russians, Germans,
French, Turks, Spaniards, English and
perhaps two or three American travel
ers. The food is plain but good and
plentiful, and the beverage served is
the famous red wine of Piedmont.
After meals travellers spend their time
much as they wish, in easy conversa-
tion with one another. in games, in
reading the books in the library or in
inspecting curios.
Not long ago the hospice was put into
telephone communication with the out
side worldly with the result that the
work of the monks has been lightened
and that the number of lives lost has
been reduced to a minimum. The mo-
mastery is connected by telephone with
small inn on the Swiss side and with
st. Remy on the Italian side. At-both
these stations arrangements are made
by which the monastery is warned of
the number of persons that begin the
ascent from these two places. Through
these advices the monks know exactly
how many travellers are making the
ascent from either side of the noun
tain.

ANCIENT TAPESTRY is
DAMAGED BY VANDAL
Rare Exhibit in Museum Is
SJashed With Knife

The apparently motiveless criminal
who delights in damaging ancient
works of art is a psychological mys-
terry, observes the London Globe. The
last exploit in this modern form of
vandalism was performed few days
ago at the Cluny museum in Paris.
The object of attack was an ancient
tapestry, dating from the end of the
sixteenth century, and depicting the
battle of Jornac, when the duke of
Anjou. defeated the Huguenots under
Conde and Coligny, March 13, 1909. The
piece much deteriorated by time, was
to be found in the old chamber of the
Order of the Holy Spirit, near the
case showing the mantles and insignia
of this body. The miscreant, who
wished to place his mark on the tapes
try, did so by making downward cut
about six inches in length with sharp
knife He accomplished his design un-
detected, and the damage was only dis
covered during the final tour of in
spection, after the museum had been
closed for the day. The damage is
not irreparable.

ENGINE ANDROTARY
PUMP ARE POPULAR
Machines Manufactured by
Main Street Iron Works Are
Easily Regulated

Among the machines manufactured
in San Francisco which are in demand
throughout the country is compound
engine driving a rotary pump built
by the Main street iron works one of
the Oldest concerns on the Pacific coast.
The engine is built for steam pres
sure of 125 pounds per square inch and
is compound noncondensing type. The
high pressure cylinder is fitted with
an adjusta BILE cutoff which can be regu-
lated while the engine is in motion.
giving a range of cutoff between so
and rs per cent. This form of a cut
off was adopted to meet the variable
duty required of the engine and it was
desired to get the benefit of the ex-
pansion in the cylinder rather than
wire drawing it through the governor
waive. In addition this engine is gov
erned not only by ball governor, but
also by pressure regulator. A cyliR-
der is connected with the pressure main
on the oil discharge side which con-
trolls the steam governor when the
pressure rises beyond a given point,
giving an increase OF steam to the en-
glne until it maintains the maximum
speed.

The pump is driven by flexible
coupling consisting of leather disks in
terpoSed between cast iron couplings
fitted respectively on the engine and
pump shafting. The pump consists of
q combination of one large runner and
two small ones of forged open hearth
steel which are machined all over and
htted to the casing of the pump, the
clearance between the pump casing

main runner is driven from the en-
gines shaft, while the two small ones
are driven by a rawhide gearing from
the main pump shaft.
This pump is provided with two sue
tion inlets and two discharge openings
located symmetrically with one another.
By this arrangement the pump is con-
stantlys in balance, thereby reducing
the wear on all working parts to a
minimum.
The pump will be installed in the
Coalinga oil fields and will pump oil
from the Associated oil companys re-
ceivinS station to the Associated pipe
line companys station at Coalinga.
This pipeline is 10 inches in diameter
and approximately two miles in length
The pump will be required to work
against a. head of 150 to 200 pounds per
square inch and will deliver 1900 bar
rels of oil an hour while the engine is
operating at 125 revolutions per
minute.
MARINE ENGINES A SPECIALITY

it has installed machinery for more

ANTARCTIC HIGHEST
CONTINENT ON EARTH
Contains Upward of Five Mill
lion Square Miles

From the observations made by the
physicists and meteorologists attached
to the recent antarctic expeditions
some interesting results have been
worked out. 1t is estimated, says the
University Correspondent, that the
land area of the antarctic is upward of
100000 square miles and that its av-
erage height above sea level is nearly
5000 feet. The south polar continent,
or "Antarctica," is therefore the larg-
est mass of raised land in the world.
1t is half as large again as Europe,
while Asia, the highest of the other
continents. is less than half as high as
the great ice continent.
