Maxine a Locomotive.

A young lady once visited the Bald.
win Locomotice works and then told
how a locomotive is made.
"You pour" she said, IA lot of sand
into-u lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and. things into Il furnace
and then you empty the molten stream
into y hole in the sand, and everybody,
wells and q Then you pour ii
out and let it cool and pound IT. and
then you put it IN a thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw it together
and paint It and put steam in it, and
1t goes splendidly, and they take it to-
a drafting room and make a blue print.

have to make IL boiler. One man gets
inside and one outside, and they pound
frightfully. and then they tie it to the
other things, and you ought to see it

An Ancient Die.

In the museum at Athens IS shown
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that is
now extant. 1t was found in Egypt in
1904 and consists of bronze, engraved
with the owl that was stamped on
Athenian tetradrachma pieces, which
contained about as much silver as
three quarter dollars. The die is Of
scientific interest on account of the
evidence it gives Of the skill Of the
ancients three or four hundred years
before Christ in metallurgy. 1t con-
tains about 221@ per cent Of tin and
nearly 20 per cent Of copper. 1t Is
extremely hard, but at the same time
possesses u certain malleability, due to
the great purity of the copper and
tin, which were carefully freed from
all traces Of lead and zinc to preserve
the hardness and from arsenic and
anthony to avoid brittleness.-Har.

AS in the tales of all haunted houses.
there was In this one a vagueness that
only-added interest, especially to the
young people of the town. The uncer-

that their parents and elders could-or
would SO they believed-tell them. SO
little of the history Of the place added
Eest to the situation.
Every year as the weird season OF
Halloween approached club of young
people discussed the prospect of raid
ing the haunted house and making
merry within it's walls on the night
when, tradition says. ghosts and
fairies walk. But each year there had
been weakening of the forces in
favor Of the liant" party as n of
the southern boys called the prospec-
tive function, and the club had con-
tented itself with a make.believe
ghost party in the home Of one of its
members.
