A MONSTER FLOW.

Designed For Ten Horses, 1t Took Fisty
 to Move 1t.
 What is said to bs the largest ploV in the world was 1ade some years ego at Bakersfield Cal This blow was the result of the Ingenuity Of ranch superintendent whe had authn14 ty to make improvements, but not - sutroduce steam blows. The superfD- tendent had grown very tired of pre- pairing 5000 acres of land for wheat with ordinary ntns or twelve tneh blows drawn by two borses-
 He argued that If two horses could pull twelve inch blow six horses could pull a blow thirty-six inches wide and that eight horses could pull a blow 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 blow on hts principle.
 Some simple folk told him that hts great blow would pot 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 blow 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 Q foot thick, but the machine was con structed to run between two great wheels. so that 1t 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 1t
 The blow 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 blow had not gone too deeply into the earth. But it was evi- dent that they could not pull the blow. More horses were brought out, but not until fifty were attached did the blow move along.
 Even then 1t required four men to hold the handles in order to keep the blow in the furrow. It was an eco homie failure.
 Then the superintendent, through better mathematician than he, learn ed that he should have cubed the ca pacfty of his twelve inch blow every time he doubled the width of it-Har- per's Weekly.

MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured by Means os an
 Ordinary Thermometer.

May Be Measured by Means d an
 Ordinary Thermometer.
 Heights of mountains or of airships can be measured by means of an ordt nary thermometer. The greater the pressure of the atmosphere on the sur face of water the greater temperature 1t takes to boil 1t. AS we rise in the air lees and less pressure of the air occurs. and water will boil at lower temperature than 100 degrees c. t212 degrees F.). It has been figured out that for q few miles up for every thousand feet of ascent water will boil a degree lower. Thus if at the bottom of mountain water boils at go degrees c. 21o.2 degrees F.) and at the top at 9S degrees c. C2OS4 degrees F.) the mountain is a 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 the work Is termed thermobarome- ter, or hypsometer. It consists of a 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 a mountain can be obtained within ten feet by means of these instru- ments. It is probably not quite that accurate, as the pressure of air does not decrease uniformly as we ascend. Nevertheless it is a good adjunct to the surveyor taking largely variable profies
 Of 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- bends on the pressure of air, which does not decrease uniformly. How ever, it can be graduated to an em- pirical scale to tell the heights and in that case shows accuracy.-Chicago Record Herald.

The Explorers Forced Him to Lead
 Thsm to Water.
 A party of explorers. four in mum Der, were traveiing across the sandy plains of Western Australia Taey had been struggling on for weeks an6 were now greatly in need of wnter. Their s~o oameis had not had any water to drink for near9y a fortnight
 After . tns they came to a dessrtsd camp hidden among some tre~
 While thsy were looking at the stfu smoIder1ng campflres they were star tied by some dreadful yells. and & shower of spears, thrown by num- Der of black savages, came flying about them.
 This made the travellers 90 angry that they rushed after the blacks, who fled in all directions. After a stern chase they found one of the savages up tree As he would not come down. one of the travellers climbed the tree after him
 Presently branch of the tree gave way, and they both came tumbling down, but without hurting themselves much.
 The travellers asked the black man where they could find some water. but he would not say.
 Then they tried to get friendly with him and gave him some food. But, although he enjoyed the food, he would not tell them whe,e water was to be found
 Then one of them had an Nea.
 Be look some timed meat. mixed into it a hGndful of salt and gave it to the hungry savage The black soon cleared it up and seemed to enjoy it, much to the amusement of the travel CTS. Then they sat down and waited.
 In about an hour the savage began to get fidgety and wanted to leave them, but they would not let him go. Presently he began to vail: "Wa- ter, Waterr'
 Jumping up, he ran to the densest part of the scrub, followed by the white men.
 Clearing away some twigs. he re vealed a hidden pool of clear water. That Is the way the spring was dis covered.

4 HENRY CLAY STORY.
Fate Of the Resolution lnstructing Him
 How to Vote,

T'oW tO NOb0s
 Adlai Stevenson in Something of Men Have Known" commenting on Henry Clay, tells this anecdote:
 Possibly since the foundation of the government no statesman has been so completely 'dolized by his friends and party as was Henry Clay. Words are meaningless when the attempt is made to express the idolatry of the Whigs of his own state for their great chief tain. For a lifetime he knew no rival. Ills wish was law to his followers. In the realm of party leadership . greater than he hath not appeared. At his last defeat for the presidency strong men wept bitter tears. When his star set 1t was felt to be tho sig nal for the dissolution of the great party of which he was the founder. In words worthy to be recalled. when the udings came like wailing over the state that Harry Percy's spur was cold the chivalrous felt somehow the world had grown commonplace"
 The following incident along the line indicated may be considered charac- teristic. While Mir. Clay was a sena- tor resolution, in accordance with d some time custom, was introduced into the Kentucky house of represent atives instructing the senators from that state to vote in favor of a certain bill then pending in congress The resolution was in the act of passing without opposition when a hitherto silent member from one of the noun tain counties. springing to his feet, exclaimed, MT. Speaker, am I to un- derstand that this legislature is under taking to tell Henry Clay how to vote" The speaker answered tha, such was tn" purport of the resolution At which the member from the noun tains, throwing up his arms, exclaim- ed, Great heavenr' and sank into his seat. 1t Is needless to add that the resolution was immediately rejecte. by unanimous vote.

HARVARD PRODIGY
TURNS 10 AIRSuIPS

Boston, Mass,-William Sidis, the
11-year-old mathematical wonder at
Harvard, has turned his attention
from problems of the fourth dimen-
sion to aerial navigation. and as a re-
suit is authority for the statement
that an aerial journey to Venus inside
of 30 minutes is a possibility.
According to Sidis, he has solved the
problem of aerial navigation. and all
that remains is to put his conclusions
into practice. His plan is to attach a
piece Of radium to the stern of an air
ship. Radium gives off the alpha
rays, which leave the radium . with
great force, These rays. Sidis says,
would be sufficient to drive an air
ship at tremendous speed-so rapidly,
in fact, that the planet Venus could
be reached in 20 minutes.
Sidis has figured his theory out
automatically, but so far has made
