WORLDS LARGEST STEAM TUR.
 ZINE

Imagine thirty thousand horses run hing through the streets of New York city and you will have a fair idea of the size of the worlds largest steam turbine engine which has just been put into operation in the Waterside station of the New York Edison com pany.
 This monster turbine engine, the largest in the world of it's kind, is 8 com bination of a turbine engine and an electrical generator. The powerful Curtis steam turbine is mounted on the same shaft with 10000 kiloWatt, or 30,O00 horse power electrical gen. orator. While this is the rated horse power of this mighty energy producer 1t will, if necessary, give twenty per cent more power for a limited time. The turbo-generator has more than sufficient capacity to supply the en- tire State of Deleware with the elec- tric service at present meted out by the various public utility companies in that state. it is also large enough to meet the electrical wants of state like Wyoming
 The dimensions CT the base CT tnls wonderful engine are I7 feet inches by 17 feet 1t stands thirty-five feet high and weighs approximately 420 tons. The revolving parts alone weigh 120 tons. The runners of the Curtis turbine are 13 feet fin diameter and they contain a total of 7200 buckets. The floor area occupied by the tur- bine engine is 279 square feet while that of one of the recigrocating en- sine-generating units of 5000 horse power capacity displaced by the new engine was BIS square feet There fore, the turbine engine gives eighteen times as much power as the old re- ciprocsting engine of 1f00 horse pow.

Growth of New State Under Census of 1910 Is Shown By Further Figures
 From Washington
BlSBEE RECORD IS GOOD

WASHINGTON. Dee. 2I-Follow- ing the previous preliminary an nouncements by the census bureau of the aggregate population of all places in the Territory of Arizona, as enum- erated st the thirteenth census. talk en as of April l5. 1910. Director Du- rand. of the bureau of the census, department of commerce and labor, has issued 8 statement giving addi- tional advance details, of which the more important relate to the terri tory's urban and rural population. The information was drawn from the advance population bulletin for Ari- zona, prepared under the supervision Of William C. Hunt chief staustician for population of the census bureau.
 The urban territory of Arizona in lgfO-that is, the cities and incor- porated towns of 2,5O0 inhabitants or more-contaAned 63,260 inhabitants, or 3l per cent of the total population, which 14l.094 inhabitants, or 69 per cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory as it existed in l90o that is, the cities and incorporated towns then having 2.500 inhabitants or more-contaiued 19.495 inhabitants, or 15.9 per cent of the total popula- ton, while l03. 436 inhabitants, or S4.I per cent, lived in rural territory. There has thus been a large increase in the proportion of urban popula' ton. For continental United States as a whole. the urban population con- stituted 46.5 per cent of the total pop ulation in 1910 and 40.5 per cent of the total population in 1900.
 Tn 1910, Tucson and Phoenix. the two cities in Arizona having over 10000 inhabitants. contributed 119 per cent of the total population of the territory, which was a slight increase over the proportion in these two cities in 1900, when they comprised the group of places having from 5000 to 13.O00 inhabitants each. Tho largest proportion of the urban population in the territory in 1910 was contained in the four cities which had from 5000 to 10,OO0 inhabitants each.
 In all cities and incorporated towns including those Of less than 2,500 in habitants, there was in 1910 a popula. ton of 7g.666, or 39 per cent of the population of the territory. The pop ulation of all cities and incorporated towns, as they existed in 1900, was

MILITARY ACCURACY.
exactness In Keeping Tab on .hs
Movements of Soldiers.

We hear much of the perfection of
military organization abroad. but it Is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
fee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements of its Of
ficers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with a scouting party in Ari-
IONA. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes a
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert.
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway. this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed it. but the
officers reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. 1t had been
telegraphed to every station within
200 miles.
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officers trans
fer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave. and, as the regulations
require. he had notified the department
of the day. hour and probable route
of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at a small
station the porter entered with a tele-
gram, asking if any one Of his name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him TO detached duty.
EXactneSs of detail could not be car
ried much further The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in

The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but
That Didn't Harm Them.
y naturalist once told how in
thicket on mountain side he saw
man kill a rattlesnake. He beat the
life out of it with a club and cOntin-
ued the pounding till it was mangled
beyond recognition. When the nat
uralist demonstrated the man said.
Boss, you can't kill rattlesnake too
dead"
On one occasion a boat bound for
the United States from Rio de Janeiro
touched at Pernambuco. where the
mate drove bargain with snake
dealer for half dozen reptiles of vari-
Gus sizes.
The mate had them in a cage on
deck and charged a sailor with the
duty of washing it out with sea wa
ter every evening. All went well as
long as the weather was mild. but on
/ the night before the gulf stream was
crossed the sailor left a quantity Of
water in the cage, and about thirty
hours from port a biting gale struck
the ship.
All hands were busy with the storm,
and the snakes were forgotten. When
the mate thought of them and went to
look after their condition he found
them frozen stiff and apparently as
dead as the proverbial doornail.
The dealer for whom the mate had
brought them came on board the fol-
lowing day. He prOfessed great dis
appointment over the loss of his in
tended purchase. but offered to take
the snakes away as kindness to the
mate. He gathered them in his arms
like so much frewoOd and carried
them home But rival dealer after

Grand, Gloomy and Peculiar

There was marked contrast be-
tween LincOln's manner, which was
always pleasant and even genial, and
that of Stanton. The latter's stern.
specialized Usage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before a high
desk as the crowd passed before him
and one by one presented their re-
quests or complaints, which were rap
idly disposed of. He was naughty.
