GETTING UP STEAM.

A Young Engineers Answer to a Gruff
and Persistent Examiner.
A bright young fellow came up for
the cadet engineers examination at
Annapolis one day. and the judges
asked him the usual questions. whic h
he answered readily enough until one
gruff old fellow frowned at him and
demanded:
How do You say You proceed to gel
up steam"
The cadet glibly described the proc.
ess of building the fires, testing the wa
Ter in the boilers and all that
And them" snapped the examiner.
The young fellow twisted his cap in
his hands and thought up a few more
details.
And them" rasped the examiner
once more. pursuing his lips and looking
as if something important had been
missed.
The cadet did the best he could, slyly
adding such details as that he would
shut the furnace doors after putting
the coal in. The moment he stopped
the same old question burst out:
And them"

ly. raising his cap to his breast and

Once. SO runs the legend. there lived
In far Judean hills two affecdonate
brothers tilling common farm to-

full of children; the other was a lonely
man One night in the harvest time
the older brother said to his wife: My
brother is a lonely man. l will go out
and move some of the sheaves from
my side of the field over on his so that
when he sees them in the morning mis-
heart will be cheered by the abun-
dance" And he did
That same night the other brother
said to his workmen: My brother has
a houseful and many mouths to fill. /
am alone and do not need all this
wealth. | will go and move some Of
my sheaves over on his field so that be
shall rejoice in the morning when he
sees bow great is his store" And he

And they did 1t that night and the
next in the shelterinG dark. But on
the third night the moon came out as
they met face to face, each with his
arms filed with sheaves. On that spot
says the legend, was built the temple
Of Jerusalem, for it was esteemed that

ODD USES OF WHALEBONE.
Wigs Are Made of 1t, and 1t Stiffens
High Grade Silks.

The notion is popularity held that
whalebone is derived from whales
ribs. although many persons believe
that it comes from the tail of the big
mammal Both notions are incorrect
The function of whalebone in the
life of the whale Is Of the utmost i'm
portance. The inner edges of the
Vulnerable hairlike processes, and the
whole forms a sort of sieve whereby
the whale may sift out its food from
the sea water. 1t must be remembered
that the food of this gigantic crea-
ture consists chiefly of minute organ
isms crustacea. mollusca. etc. foa ting
near the surface.
When the whale opens it's mouth and
moves along a great multitude of these
minute forms of life find their way in.
Then the whale closes its mouth. and
the water is strained out through the
whalebone sieve. and the food is re-
tained.

even in England. where the fine inter

Fine whalebone threads are also some
times employed to stiffen the tissue in
