Work Of tho Locomotive Fireman.


To husky young man shoveling
twenty tons Of coal day may not
sound like terrible undertaking. but
that is because he fails to appreciate
the difference between shovcling that
quantity in the course of ten hour
day, standing on steady footing and
pausing for q moment whenever he
feels like it to gaze at the scenery or
light cigarette and trying to keep
his balance on jolting. jerking. plung.
ing steel deck which tries ceaselessly
TO pitch him head first into the side Of
the cab. while with legs spread wide
apart he humps over scoop shovel,
working with frantic energy to get
coal into the firebox fast enough to
keep steam up. While the engine is
running the fireman must be straddled
out on the deck. working continually
to the limit of his strength. for ordi-
narily he will have to get from two
and half to three tons Of coal into the
firebox every hour Three and half
tons is generally regarded as the limit
of freman's capacity, but this has
been greatly exceeded on the fastest
trains.-Technica World Magazine.

Force of lidht.

Light has an actual mechanical
pressure and can be measured in the
laboratory. 1t has been found that
the suns light in itself presses
against the earth with a force some
thing like 10000 tons. AS the surface
of sphere varies as the square Of
the radius. and as the volume or mass
varies as the cube Of the radius. and
as the mechanical pressure Of light on
the whole surface varies as that sur
face, and as the force of gravity varies
as the mass. if a sphere is made
smaller and smaller it is easily seen
that the pressure of light does not de-
crease 50 fast as the force of gravity,
so bodies beyond certain minuteness
could not reach the sun, but would be
repealed by the mechanical force Of its
light.-Cbtcago RecordH erald

The ODER Gabelhorn is a peak no.
torions for the dangerous cornices
which decorate its upper ridges. OF
many accidents reported in connection
with it perhaps the most remarkable,
says G.. ID. Abraham in "Swiss Noun
tain Climbs" was the adventure which
befell an amateur and his young guide,
In passing along the dangerous final
cornice it suddenly gave way under
the amateur. and he went flying
through space to apparent destruction.
The guide at the other end of the rope
seemed in hopeless plight, but with
astounding presence of mind he flung
himself down the opposite side of the
ridge. thus saving two lives. The rope
cut deep into the snow above, but held
firm. The young guides name was

The Music of Birds.

Birds are usually accounted the
most musical Of animals. yet it is very
much of task to set their notes to
music. The reason is that birds are
utterly negligent of the laws of har-
mony. There is not one of them. it is
safe to say. that knows the difference
between Il major third and a dominant
chord This deficiency in musical
knowledge is rather surprising when
we consider how beautifully the birds
sing and may be used as an argument
to show that theoretical knowledge
is humbug But if birds knew more
about harmony their songs could all be
set down and quite a decent revenue
derived from the sale thereof Anoth.
er reason why it is difficult to put the
melody Of the song birds into notes is
that the quality of the tone is unlike
any musical instrument. This is true
of all birds except the thrush. whose
song descends for the first three notes
in perfect seconds and with much
purity Of tone.-From Old Scrap Book.

To Whom This Nav Concern,

Following the suggestions made in
the two open letters which appear in
this issue, concerning the celebration
OF the 18th anniversary of my editor
ship of THE APPEAL, a few days
ago l mailed circular letters to num-
Der OF persons concerning the matter
and enclosed postal cards for replies.
Quite a number have been returned,
enough in fact, to cause me to feel
that the people desire the celebration
to be held, and that there is no doubt
that it will be grand success, some
have even paid the money for there
tickets, and have begun the arrange
ments for holding the same. There
is a number, however, of those to
whom the letters were sent that have
not returned the cards, as they should
have done, as matter of reciprocal
courtesy. They may express their
sentiments for or against the proposed
celebration as their consciencies di.
rect, but they should send the cards
There is no good excuse for not re.
turning the cards as the success of the
celebration is already, practically, a
foregone conclusion, only wish to
know who may be placed in the list
OF Patrons and Patronesses and on the
various committees and l can,. OF
course, only use the names of those
who have returned the cards signify
ing thereon their acceptance of the
conditions. 81 .sg, s.s,.s
If this meets the eye of any one
who has received card and has not
returned it he will do both himself and
me favor by signing and mailing the
card at once, and thus he will get ir
on the ground floor.
DON'T DELAY, DO 1T NOW.

Mr.. Editor:
Since the Quarto- Centennial Cele.
bration of last September, commem.
Grating the twenty-fifth anniversary
I of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such
Ian unprecedented success, from every
| point of view; and, is remembered
/ with pleasure, by every one who had
the good fortune to be present on
that, never-to-be-forgotten, occas-
sion, it has occurred to me that an
other such an affair would be hailed
with delight by all who were pres
| ent, as well as by those who for
some reason or another. were de-
priVed OF that blessed privilege; and
who would not miss the opportunity
ii it was again offered to them.
L also recall the fact that the
twenty-flfth anniversary Of your as
sociation with THE APPEAL occurs
this year; and feel that this is an
event as worthy of being celebrated
as the birth Of the paper; if not
more so. For, it undoubtedly is ow-
Ing entirely to your managerial abil-
ity and indefatigable labors that
THE APPEAL has been enabled to
Withstand the storms that have
wrecked many like ventures upon the
rocks of adversely. And it does
seem to me that it will be very
fitting and proper for the people Of
the Twin Cities to show just recog-
milton of the herculean task you
have accomplished in maintaining an
organ in their interest for a quarter
of a century, by rendering you
testimonial on the twenty-ifth an
niversary of your connection with
the paper, or, on such other date that
in your judgment is more convent
ent or suitable. / would therefore
suggest, if it meets your approval
as I know it will, the patrons of THE
APPEAL and your friends generally
that you proceed to carry out that
idea along the lines employed in
the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of
THE APPEAL last year.
I have no especial suggestions to
make, as the success Of last years
affair, as we'll as many other social
functions that have been under your
control testify to your eXceptiOnable
ability to manage them ITO a queens
taste," therefore, I feel sure you
would carry this to successful is
sue, if left to follow the bent of
your own inclination.
l. I am satisfied that I voice the
sentiments of the people of Mime
apolis.
