It Was About a Wonderful New Ma.
chino He Had Seen.
"While was running bolt cutter at
the Rock Island shops in Chicago"
writes contributor to Railway and
Locomotive Engineering. Il boarded
at house much frequented by loco
motive engineers and firemen. These
men talked a great deal about their tre-
mendous feats in getting over certain
hills without the help Of a second loco
motive.
my opposite neighbor at table, a
young fellow who ran a lathe in the
shop, grew tired of this monotonous
Dragging; he thought he was entitled
to do little talking himself. One
evening he called out to me:
We'll, went over and saw that
new machine today, and it's astonish-
ing the fine work it does
"'How does it work?' inquired.
"'Well,' said James. by means Of a
pedal attachment a fulcrumed lever
converts the vertical reciprocating
motion into circular movement.
The principal part of the machine is a
huge disk that revolves in a vertical
plane. Power is applied through the
axis Of the disk, and when the speed
Of the driving arbor is moderate the
periphery Of the apparatus is travelling
at high velocity. Work is done on
this periphery. Pieces Of the hardest
steel are by mere impact reduced to
any shape the skilful operator DESIRES
"*What in the name Of sense is that
machine, anyway demanded Tom
Briggs.
"'Oh. it's new grindstone,' replied
James, and silence that could be cut
with butter knife fell upon the
crowd"

PILED IN THE PILLS.
Samuel Jessup Swallowed 22e,ss4 In
Twenty Years.

Samuel Jessup Swallowed 226,934 In
Twenty Years.
People were greatly addicted to pat.
ent medicines 100 years ago, and q
case that was tried in 1917 in Eng
land gives some idea Of the pill taking
proclivities of the time. An apothecary
sued one Samuel Jessup for payment
Of a long standing account. The bill
extended to ifty-five closely written
columns and showed that in twenty
years he took 226,934 pills, beginning
with the modest number Of twenty
nine day and advancing by easy
stages to a daily consumption of sew
,enty-eight. During the same period he
consumed 10000 bottles Of mixtures,
besides juleps, electuaries and other
1nfallible specifics. The apothecary
won the day, but Jessup died soon
afterward at the age of sixty five. no
doubt from stopping the medicine.
In the advertisement Of their wares
the eighteenth century quack medicine
proprietors were quite as resourceful
as the modern representatives of their
craft. Newberry. the proprietor Of
"Dr. James Powders" was pub
Usher and managed to- make one
branch of his business help the other
by inducing his authors-including
Goldsmith-to scatter references to the
powders throughout the pages of their
books.
Thus. in "Goody Two Shoes" the
heroine's father "perished miserably"
because SO unfortunate as to be "seiz
ed with a fever in a place where DR..
James powder was not to be had."-

nected with visit the humorist paid
to Nine. Tussaud's. While in the IA

The earliest authentic date that has
been handed down to us was inscribed
on the foundation stone of the temple
to the sun god at Sippara by Naram-
Sin; son of Sargon. This stone was ex-
humed by Nabonidus, who reigned over
Babylon about 554 B. c.. and it is as
serted that Naram-Sin ruled 5000 years
previously. From these dates we learn
that the chronology of Babylon began
with the reign Of Sargon l., king Of
Agade, $500 B. C.
