When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens. addresses his friends and neiRhbors. you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated.

Water Used In ,h. s,e,i rndu..ry.

Great quantities of water at medium pressures are used in steel plant, most of it for cooling purposes. The following gives a good idea of the wa ter required by the several depart ments of a steel plant: The total con- sumption of the plant including six blast furnaces, seven rolling mills, bessemer and open hearth steel mills. twenty-foUr gns engines and about a hundred gas producers, was 57,500, 900 gallons per day. The average daily displacement Of the pumps for one month during the time these measure ments were taken was Go,S77,000 gal Ions, no allowance being made for slip. The pumps used for pumping this cooling water in steel plants are about the same type as those used in city pumping stations, steam reciprocaing pumps with compound or triple steam cylinders or motor driven centrifugal pumps. The usual water pressures are from forty to sixty pounds.-Robert L. Streeter in Engineering Magazine.

The Superfool,

We knew the man who cannot swim A stroke, but loves to float Upon the summer sea and thinks It smart to rock the boat. Though over his untinaely grave, Beneath the pillows cool We drop the tribute of tear. We class him as fook But now that we have learned at last The trick or how to fly And soar above the fieecy clouds And navigate the sky. When far below us spreads the sweep Of valley, hill and plain, What shall We call the passenger Who rocks the aeroplane?
 -Minna Irving in New Yerk Sun.
