WHAT HORSEPOWER MEANS
Example Of Great Liners Turbine En- sines Given to Explain the Com
 mon Phrase.


 In connection with steamship pro pulsjon the average man is apt to speak very glibly Of so many hundred or thousand horsepower. But 1t is extremely doubtful # one person in a hundred really has a due appreciation of what the phrase actually means. On this point some very interesting remarks were made 5y John Heck the Glasgow engineer surveyor
 He said that. calculating the strength of twelve men to be equal to one horse power. it would require s4000O men to produce as much en ergy as the 10000 horsepower de. veloped by the turbine Hachinery of the express Cunarder Lusitania. Then 1T the men were 10 work on the eight h-ur day system those figures would give a total of 2.520.O0O. that being the number Of men whose strength would bs necessary to drive the vessel across the Atlantic ocean. So it would take all the men in Scotland 10 supply the energy produced all the day round by the wonderful turbine machinery of this great sh,p.-Railway and Loco motive Engineer.

HITCHCOCK MACHINE

(Continued from Page n

Never before has there been any. thing tc equal it in the postal service. Appointments are all made with an eye to securing delegates ter the Re publican National convention and the merit of the man to be appointed does not enter into the question at all
 "I have personally laid instances of fragrant discrimination on the part of the postoffice department before the house committee that is charged with the duty of investigating this state of anairs. I know that other members are equally insistent that something should be done.
 q have information from an author itative source that the protests are so general over the country that the president recently told Postmaster General Hitchcock that he would have to go easier on his system of appoint ments: that he. the rgesident, was being blamed for some Of the acts of discrimination practiced by Hitchcock in his campaign to run the entire gov ernment from the PostOffice depart ment l understand that Mir.

Business men, sVic associ- ations. postGffice patrons, members Of congress may protest as much as they please but it will have no effect.
 Politics, All for Politics
 All appointments a.e nov made with view to their political effect and the postal service has degenerat- ed into a political machine pure and simple. Southern members of con gress are deiused with protests daily but are unable to obtain relief from the Postoifice department itself. We are in hopes that the house committee may at least throw such light On the i subject that the people will revolt at 1 the polls and demand a new order of 1 things
 It is known that the view of the ! Georgia member is shared by numer- !. ous other members of the house, as was evidenced by the sweeping resO- i lution of inquiry introduced by Rep resentative Saunders.

PARROT AS GERM CARRIER
Physician Finds the Bird Is Subject to Disease Human Beings
 May Contract.

Better not keep parrot 4 physi- clan has discovered that birds of this species are subject to a disease called psittacose. which is peculiarly con- tagious. and may easily be contracted by human beings As a germ carrier. in fact, the parrot Is unrivaled.
 Now the Ofice Window is not par ticularly afraid of germs. They may be quite as bad. quite as dangerous, as they are represented. But what Is the use of trying to get away from them? We cannot eat, drink or breathe without taking in germs. We associate with them from morning till uight. They are bound to work their will with us anyway-so we may as well ignore them and have as good a lime as we can, before they get us.
 But the office Window Is perfectly willing to take advantage of the germs as an ally against the parrot This p-eposterous bird has nothing to recommend him except his unlike ness 10 the bird species. He does not sing. but squawks. He Is regarded as worthless unless he can talk" in kind of harsh resemblance to hu- man speech lie is neither bird nor human; he Is disorderly episode in creation. He grates on the poetic soul He is a nGisarce.-New York Mall

Wear of Traffic on Roads.

A machine that measures the wear caused by traffic upon public high ways is among the scientific instru- ments on show al the exhibition of the Physical Society of London at the Imperial College of Science, South kensington.
 In speaking about this machine an official of the road board referred to the wear on the various main roads of London. Wood pavement" he said. wears down one inch in about six years, except in places where the traf- fc is particularly intense. The as- phalt pavement fin the city wears down about half an inch in ten years. The ordinary country highway wears down two inches in from three to ten years. according to the amount of traffic"

FIGHT OF DUCK AND OYSTER
siva'Vc Conquered by cIinging to the Fowls Bill Until the Bird Was
 Drowned.

Not long sgo there occurred a lively contest in Maryland waters between duck and an oyster. The oyster was victorious, but it was fatal vic tory. for when the bivalve had killed the duck there appeared a man who killed the oyster and ate them both.
 The combat between the duck and the oyster was of the rough and tum- ble kind The duck was large and full grown. It was of the diving spe- cies frequently seen in those waters.
 Now when. the oyster feeds 1t opens its shell so wide that the full oyster itself is plainly visible. The sight of such a morseI was too great a tempta- ton for the duck He made a head long plunge. inserting bis bill between the oysters open shell.
 Like a flash the shell closed on the ducks beak. Then came a struggle for life. The oyster. which was quite a large one. was dragged from it's bed. with three smaller bivalves cIinging to it. the cluster being heavy enough 10 keep the ducks head under water.
 In this way the bird drowned. Its buoysncy was sufficient to float 1t with the-oysters. and thus 1t drifted near the dock. where 1t was captured. When taken from the water the oys- ter was clingins to the birds beak with such force that considerable diff. hculty was had in breaking it's hold.

THAT 0LD-FASHIONED LADY
Sweet Picture That Some of Us Ar, Privileged to Carry in Our
 Memories.

Everybody loved that oldfashioned lady. And I find almost everyone past forty has. at the back of his mind, vivid impressions regarding her and the social life of which she was the center. One remembers the atmo- sphere of that day as one remembers the blush roses and spicy pinks of old gardens. Even yet there are gardens where blush roses grow, and know some women not yet old, and a few young girls, whose mere presence serves today to reproduce that at. mosphere. She was dauntless and sweet. that old-fashioned Lady; witty but tender; as notable a housewife as a hostess; full of gentle concern Tor others. with a mind ever at leis- ure for their affairs, and a heart whose sympathy was instantaneous in their service. She stimulated and she soothed Fine. complicated and inter esting as the old lace and finely wrought gold she delighted to wear. she was very precious piece of DOT celain. The brilliant. soft daguerreo- type that has preserved her early like ness for us did not idealize her be- yond her just due. Perhaps the in- innate secret of her influence was the impression she gave of one whose heart is fixed, one whom the world can no louger harm-The Atlantic

- HIS STRATAGEM WAS COSTLY
t Was Designed to Break Him oi Cigarette Habit. but oniy Left
 Him Poorer.

Mac Keene is described hy Mrs. Meyer our landlady. as being a ''stu- dium" and poor as a church mousse The first appellation is true-ile is a student of engineering; the simlle is rather baffiing. but that he is poor I lear is true also. Mac Keene is a philosopher. Many men of little busi- ness, l observe. are philosophers. l became acquainted with Mac keene when l invited him fin one evening to share the warmth from my fire-he having none-and he proved a treas ure to me during many long winter evenings. I offered him a smoke. and was instantly attracted to the man by his story of the cunning stratagem he employed to break himself of the habit of smoking to excess.
 Mac Keene had devised sundry and divers tricks to accomplish his end, all without success; the latest maneuver against the enemy consist ed in his buying the most expensive cigarettes he could find. with the idea in mind that the wanton and profigate extravaganza of smoking them up too rapidly would materially reduce his consumption of the weed; then, If tha campaign were successful, he would not increase his expense in the long run, but when the habit was more un- der control he could reduce his ex- pense even below the present by re- turning to cheaper brands. Such in- genuity as this was deserving of re- ward. but alas, it failed from the start, and left Mac Keene a poorer and a no more temperate man.-New York Evening Post
