Designed For Ten Horses, Il Took Fifty
to Move It. 80
What is said to be the largest plow
In the world was nlade some years
ago at Bakersfield. Cal. This pillow
was the result of the ingenuity of 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 5000 acres of land for wheat
with ordinary nine or twelve inch
plows drawn by two horses.
He argued that If two horses could
pull twelve inch plow six horses
could pull plow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
a pillow forty eight inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully, and,
being clever with his pencil, also made
drawings and sent for blacksmiths and
machinists to construct pillow 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 su-
perintendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machinists fin
ished the plow in due time. The share
was made to cut fifty inch furrow.
The top Of it reached five 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 pillow was brought to the great
field, the ten horses were attached to
1t, 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 plow had not gone too
deeply into the earth. But it was evil
dent that they could not pull the plow.
More horses were brought out, but not
until fifty We're 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. It was an Geo.
nomic failure.
Then the superintendent, through
the Intervention of some one who was
better mathematician than he, learn
ed that he should have cubed the ca
pacity Of his twelve inch plow every
time he doubled the width of it.-Har-
per's Weekly.

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
it takes to boil it. As we rise in the
air less and less pressure of the air
occurs, and water will boil at lower
T temperature than 100 degrees c. (212
degrees F.. It has been figured out
that for few miles up for every
thousand feet Of ascent water will
boil 9 degree lower. > Thus If at the
bottom of mountain water boils at
80 degrees G. (21O.2 degrees F.) and at
the top at So degrees g. (2OS.4 degrees
F) the mountain is a thousand feet
