The Popular Turkish Bath.

There is widespread use Of the va
por or Turkish bath. Even in arctic
Lapland the use of Turkish bath OF
very primitive form is common. II
consists OF a hut attached 10 every
farm. In the middle of the hut is
raised a kind of beehive of rough
stones. and In this a fire is lighted.
When the stones become red hot they
are drenched with water, so that the
place is filed with vapor Then enter
the bathers. who are armed with birch
twigs. with which they belabor one an
other until all are in state OF profuse
Precipitation. Then all leave the hut

A Public Official Whose Work Ought to
Suit the Most Exacting Business
Man.

In the Interesting People" Depart
ment of the October American Magazine
appears an article about Joseph F
, Ralph, chief of the bureau of engraving
and printing in Washington. Following
is an extract:
In three years of occupancy he has
increased the efficiency OF each employee
has reduced the cost Of production by a
greater amount than six preceding
years had been able to do, has reduced
his working force i'll spite OF the increase
of business, and what is more, made
them love him and filled them with ais
own pride in the bureau. Every man in
the shops is an active partisan. We've

you hear them say.
Director Ralph's genius for organ
4 ization is astonishing. Long ago he dis
covered Benjamin r. Stickney, then a
mechanic in charge Of certain machines,
and now mechanical expert and designer
for the bureau. an inventor of several
I revolutionary machines, and Mr.. Ralph's
right hand man. For assistant director
he picked Mr. Ferguson from the audit
ing department-pe perhaps the best man
in the position that the bureau has ever
had. He instituted voluntary talks with
his employees on he saving of energy
and the value of perfection that gave
them an artists pride in their work.
The great saving Of time and money
that came from transferring several
functions from the treasury to the
bureau is the result of his suggestions.
He found politics in the bureau and
crushed it out with no uncertain hand.
He eliminated fayoritism among the
foremen nv discharging them He intro
duced apprentices, and gave them train
ing. The first task for young engrAver
is to engrave one hundred times perfec
tion is no trifle, but triiles make perfec-
tion;' and that is the motto OF the
bureau.
"Mr. Ralph, moreover, was one of the
first men in the country to introduce
scientific management. lie himself
learned to save energy in twelve years
of hard physical labor. First he told the
workers a little about it; then he began
to increase their daily task. The women

INTO COAL YARD BELOW

Philadelphia, Oct. 8.--Nine young
men were killed early yesterday when
an automobile in which they were joy
riding crashed through railing Oh the
side of the Thirty.third street boulevard
at Marler street and fell into coal
yard rs feet below.
The car turned turtle, crushing all of
them. They were residents OF Phila-
delphia. Edgar Shaw, son of James
Shaw, lumber merchant, owned and
drove the car. None escaped.
Shaw was taking his friends home
after an evening passed in various cafes.
Six other young men of the party were
in smaller automobile.
Both machines were driving fast when
an automobile coming in the opposite di-
reetion in trying to avoid them struck
the rear wheel of Shaw's machine.
Shaw's car swerved and plunged against
the iron railing of the bridge and
crashed through.
All excepting one was killed instantly,
he died soon after

Clint Sharks.

While the whale is regarded as the
largest of creatures that haunt the sea,
there are some sharks that can lie
compared in size with the former ami
mails. These giant sharks, however.
are very rare and are known under
the name of the great whale shark and
the basking shark. The former, which
attains length Of fifty feet. is found
off the coast Of India. Peru and Lower
California. The latters most favMite
haunt is the Arctic ocean. but it Is
also found near the great whale shark
These monsters. curiously enough. are
quite harmless. Their teeth are very
small, and they feed on tiny matter
that floats on the surface of the sea.
This matter the fish strains through
its enormous gill rakers.
