AS soon as he sat down on the stool 1 knew by the way be handled himself that he understood the machine he was running. He tapped the keys away up one end. just as If they were gauges and he wanted to see if he had water enough. Then he looked up as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying and the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed on to the main line as if he was half an hour late. You could hear her thunder over culverts and bridges and getting faster and faster, until the fellow rocked about h his seat like a cradle.

But he didn't hear. No one heard me- Everything was flying and whizzing Telegraph poles on the side of the track looked like a row of cornstalks, and trees appeared to be mudbank. and all the time the exhaust of the old machine sounded like the hum of a bumblebee.

Heat.


 Little things like baciili will live in a temperature of above 211 degrees F. Experimental observations of stokers have shown that man Is a cousin to the salamander. Dante made six fiery circles of hell and felt constrained to resort to Ice for the seventh and last condemnation of souls. Heat. in other words, is a relative term. Heat is benefcient if you like things hot. It depends on the point of view. Heat is supposed to be enervating The hook worm is engendered by 1t. But, then. a race horse will go much faster on s hot day than a cool one. The fercesr rays of the sun appear to lubricate the joints. There are various kinds of heat. such as just common. everyday neat, priekly heat and the heat of de bate. etc. Kansas City Times.
