A MONSTER PLoW.
Designed For Ten Horses, II Took Fifty
to Move II.

Designed For Ten Horses, Il Took Fifty
to Move Il.
What is said to be the largest pillow
Ia the world was Aade some years
ago at Bakersfield, Cal This pillow
was the result of the ingenuity Of
ranch superintendent who had authori-
~ 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 pillow thlrty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
a plow forty-elght inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully, and,
being clever with his pencil. also made
drawings and sent for blacksmiths and
machinists to construct a glow on his
principle.
Some simple folk told him that his
great plow would not work, but they
contented themselves with saying this
dogmatlcally without giving any math-
ematical reason therefor. SO the SUI
perlntendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machlnists fin
ished the pillow In due time. The share
was made to cut fifty inch furrow.
The top Of II 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
II, 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 pillow had not gone too
deeply into the earth. But II was EVIL
dent that they could not pull the pillow.
More horses were brought out, but not
until fifty were attached did the plow
move along.
Even then II required four men to
hold the handles In order to keep the
pillow in the furrow. II was an eco
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 pillow every
time he doubled the width OF THAR

The Tear, In Books.

II Is not hard to understand why,
when a book makes you laugh. you
want TO read II, and TO read It over and
over again. But II is rather puzzling
to find that one also enjoys reading
and rereading books that make one
want TO cry. What can there be in us
that likes 10 be made TO feel unhappyI
In real life We don't try 20 do things
that will make us suffer-not ut all!
But there are books that you cannot
think OF once you have read them
without tears coming 10 your eyes, and
yet you will find that you love those
books perhaps more than any others.
To feel deeply is one OF the best
things In life, and there maybe lies
the explanation OF why we do love
sad stories. They make us unhappy
In n way. but they do not leave behind
any bitterness or sense OF personal
loss. Aud they usually have a special
beauty Of their own.-St. Nicholas.

fed and Never Rush.
A font Of type in the Chinese Ian
guage requires 11.OOO spaces, and in
the large and spacious rack each word,
instead Of each letter, as In English,
has a place by itself. There is also a
peculiar grouping or classification OF
symbols into groups to further facili-
tate the mental labors OF the typeset-
tiers. Thus In the immediate vicinity
Of the symbol for fish would be found
the symbols Of scales. net, fins. tail.

In any event must be so strenuous that

The compositor Is n staid and digni-
fed individual, and us he slowly walks
from symbol TO symbol, picking up
those which he requires with provok-
ing calmness. the American composltor
might well wonder when the work
would be completed. and to set up the
type required for small four page

eight or nine skilled Cinnamon are re-
quIred for twelve or thirteen hours, the
entire work in every department being

PopuIsrity Of .hs c.ntrlfuaaI pump

Popularity OF the Centrifugal Pump.
The centrifugal pump Is constantly
conquering new domains. For exam
pie, 1t has begun TO replace the recip-
rocating feed pump in large central
power stations. Ii Is especially suited
to this service by its self adjusted
regulation and It's ability to work for
a certain time against the closed dis
charge pipe. II may be left quite to
itself with a changing volume OF feed
water delivery. Only in the boiler
plants OF electric power stations. where
electric current may be obtained at
low rates. will this type OF pump be
economical. AS Il is especially adapt
ed to the delivery OF small quantities
OF water against high pressure. It Is
often speeded to the highest point,
even up to 5000 revolutions a minute.
Especially on shipboard IL has lately
been adopted to an ever increasing ex-
tent because OF its small weight and
space equirements.-Engineering Mag

intelligence on the part OF bees that
were carried to Barbados and the
Western islands. They worked furi-

ceased to lay up honey. living a life
Of drunken ease. They had discovered
that the materials for honey were to
be had every day in the year and that
TO lay up stores OF which they were
robbed was folly.
