Rouoh on the Doctor.

To have themselves called publicly
out of a crowded place of entertain
ment on the pretense that they are
urgently wanted by importunate pa
tients Is stated to be one Of the stock
methods of advertising resorted to by
young doctors, who wish to build up
practise. A budding physician tried
this device. He instructed his boy
to go to the doorkeeper of the theater
and say that patient OF his was in
urgent need of attention. Right you
are, sir,'' said the servant, with a
solemn wink. You leave 1t to me.
I'll manage it all right" But appar-
emily the honest retainer exceeded in
structions in his zeal, for at the end
of the second act the manager ap-
peared before the curtain and made
this announcement: eff DIR. Blank
is in the audience, am requested to
tell him that he is wanted at once,
as the poor fellow he gave some
physic to this afternoon has been
having fits ever since."

During one of the last birthday cele-

ing herself at the piano. she began the
beautiful ballad robin Adair." She
had hardly begun before Mr.. Whit
tiers pet dog came into the room and,
seating himself by her side, watched
her as IL fascinated, listening with a
delight unusual in an animal. When
she finished he came and put his paw
very gravely into her hand and licked
her cheek. Robin takes that as trib-
ute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier.
HE also is Robin Adair." The dog,
hearing his own name. evidently con-
sidered that he was the hero Of the
song. From that moment during the
lady's visit he was her devoted attend
ant. He kept by her side when she
was indoors and accompanied her
when she went to walk. When she
went away he carried her satchel in
his mouth to the gate and watched her
departure with every evidence of dis
tress.

TURBINE ENGINE is DEFINED
Likened to Paper WindmiIIs Pinned
to End of Stick and Played
With by Children.

There are probably few people out
side the ranks of engineers who know
what turbine is. "The best idea l
can give of it," said an engineer, els
to liken it to those paper windmills
which spin on the end of stick, and
which are sold to children in the
streets. A turbine, in fact, is like a
series of these revolving wheels fixed
one behind the other, only instead of
being turned by the wind, it is re-
volved by jets of steam. The turbine
wheels turn on shaft inside a CYL
inder, in the interior of which are
fixed number of stationary blades
which project into the spaces between
each wheel The purpose of these
blades is to catch the steam and d.
rect it on to the wheels at an angle
where it will exert the most force. AS
the steam enters the cylinder 1t is
caught by the stationary blades and
DETECTED on to the blades of the first
wheel, which are set turning. The
steam then passes to the next, until
all the wheels are set whirling and
the ship is driven through the water"

SCREW PROPELLER IN CASING
MIR. Yasuzo Wadagaki Makes sugges-
ton to Increase Efficiency of Ma
rine Turbine Engine.

With a view to enabling marine tur-
bine engine propellers to work at
higher efficiency, Mr.. Yasuzo Wada-
gaki, in a paper before the Northeast
Coast Institution of Engineers and
Shipbuilders, proposes to use metal.
lie casing surrounding the screw pro-
peller, the forward and aft ends of
which are fared into bell-mouth shape,
with a cross-sectional area gradually
contracting from the two ends toward
the screw propeller, says Scientific
American. By this arrangement the
forward velocity of the water, which
is impaired by the fractional pull of
the ships side, is accelerated, until at
the most contracted part of the chan
mel, where the water is acted upon by
the screw propeller, the velocity rises
to maximum, the propeller operating
Gin water having a relative velocity
much higher than the forward speed
of the vessel" Fly this device Mr..
Wadagaki believes the slip will be
reduced and the screw propeller effi-
cheney proportionately increased.

mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis of calculation,
inventing two new digits to take the
places of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Spencer scornfully remarked thai the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.

would have been any difficulty"

COST OF OCEAN GREYHoUNDR

VIII Bring About New Tendency
in Transatlantic Service.
One of the most striking features in
connection with the North Atlantic
shipping trade during the last ten or
twelve years has been the great in
crease in the cost Of fast steamships,
says the London Times. In 1899 the
Augusta Victoria cost about 6 200, 900.
The Deutschland of the Hamburg
American Company cost 6 $4,000 and
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria nearly
s700, 900 The Mauretania and Lust
tania cannot haye cost much less than
e1,400,O0O each, and the two new
giant vessels which are being built
for the White Star Line service be-
tween Southampton and New York
will probably cost nearly as much
II Is somewhat curious In connection
with this point that the Hamburg
American company should be able to
obtain consistently better results than
the Norddeutscher Lloyd. and perhaps
one explanation Of this Is to be found
in the fact that the fleet of the Ham
burg-American company consists main
ly of the intermediate type, whereas
the fleet of the North German Lloyd,
like that of the Cunard company, con-
tains a high percentage of vessels Of
the express type. The theory used
to be held that the larger the steamer
the greater the profit, but there ap-
pears to be a limitation to the appli-
cation of this theory in the case OF
the large fast vessels which have been
recently introduced. 1t is not incon-
ceivable that the general tendency Of
the trade will in future lie In the d.
rection of improving the accomoda-
ton offered the steerage passengers.

HANDY TRUCK FOR ASH CANS
Device Enables Householder to Move

Many house holders employ man
by the week to carry out the ashes
solely because the job soils his own
hands or clothing. A New York man
has come to the rescue by inventing
truck on which the ash barrel or
can can be wheeled out to the curb
with ease and freedom. The truck
resembles an ordinary baggage truck,
except that the side bars converge at
the top into a single handle, and in
slot near the top of these bars is a
sliding hook which engages the tops
of barrels or cans. There are two
claws on the hook, thus giving it more
latitude. Heretofore the operation of
rolling out the ash barrel meant to
envelop oneself in a cloud of dust, and
it was a job that could not safely be
trusted to woman Servnat-hence
