JUST WHAT HORSEPOWER IS
Mesnirl Of the Term Illustrated by Its Application to Power Used
 by Big Liner.

The average man is apt to speak very ghbly of so many hundred or thousand horsepower, but it is ex- tremcly doubtful whether one person in hundred has a due appreciation of what the phrase really means.
 Calculating the strength of twelve men to be equal to one horsepower, it would require S40,000 men to pro- duce as much energy as the 10000 horsepower developed by the turbine machinery of big Atlantic steam ship. Then, if the mer were to work on the eight-hour-day system, those figures would give total of 2,250,- 900, that being the number of men whose strength would be necessary to drive the vessel across the Atlantic ocean.-Harper's Weekly.

SHRUNkEN EGGS.

A.perfectly fresh egg, one that has just been dropped and is still warm, entirely fills its shell. As it cools to the temperature of the air it con- tracts little, leaving a small space at the large end of the egg empty. As the egg ages this space increases in size, due to the escape of moisture from the egg through its shell. When the air space becomes quite enlarged, perhaps to almost half the shell. the egg is known as shrmken; it has lost its flavor. is stale and unfit to eat. There are many stages of staleness between a perfectly fresh I rot ten egg, but a shrunken one is the limit of natableness.

HOW JERUSALEM IS RULED
Municipality Composed of Ten Mem bers, of Whom the President Alone
 Receives Salary.

The Jerusalem municipality IS composed of ten members, half of whom are chosen every two years, the term of office being four years. From these ten the governor of the province of Jerusalem chooses one 10 be the president or mayor. The president is the only member receiv- ing a salary, which is about $64 a month.
 The members of the municipal council or commission are chosen by the whole city, but are apportioned in accordance with the different races and religions. Their duties are largely advisory, the president exer- cisiing most of the power. All prop erty owners who are Ottoman sub iects have a right to vote for the commissioners.
 The municipality does not concern itself with schools, courts, police, etc. (these are provided by the gov ernment of the province of Jerusa- lem) its principal functions are the care, repair. lighting and cleaning of the streets; sanitary and quaran- tine inspection and oversight, in- cluding the public slaughter house 1: the maintenance of petroleum stor- age warehouse and municipal hos pital and other charitable institu- tions; market regulations, etc.
 As the total budget is under $50,- GOO for 9 city of about 80,000, it will be seen that the provincial gov ernment handles most of the more important departments.

MAIZE HER LOOK ANIMATED
Mrs. Blanks Husband Accompanied Her to the Studio, and a Good
 Picture Resulted.

Mrs. Blank was preparing to visit the photographers and as her hus- band had not been satisfied with sev- eral other pictures for which she had sat on previous occasions, it was sug- gested that Mir. Blank accompany her. Like the good husband that he was, he set aside all other business and proceeded to the studio, pre- pared to show to the camera man hls knowledge of pose and expres- sion. For this purpose he stood by the operator and directed his wife how and when to sit, together with several other details. It was a rude shock to his interested efforts when he was quietly but firmly requested by the operator to desist, and while no slang was used, he understood that ''butting in" would not be per mitted.
 "Anyhow," boasted Mr. Blank, cit was the best picture she ever had taken. The little discussion was just enough to excite her and make her quite animated. So my visit wasn't wasted after all."

ADJUSTMENTS.
Creatore and His Band

Francesca Creatore and his Banda Verdi
gave two delightful concerts at the JEFF
ferson theatre yesterday afternoon and
night. He was assisted by a sextet of
singers. 1t was the Banda Verdi's first
appearance and it's reception was most
enthusiastic. The conductor is nephew
of Creatore, who became famous as a
conductor u or Is years ago, and is still
in vogue. The younger musician has
mannerisms, but they are not so eccen-
trio as those of the elder. Indeed, Fran
cesco Creatore's style of conducting is
sngularly captivating. Like all Italians
of conservatory education, he is distinc
lively authoritative. In the smaller COM
positions his manner is as quiet as the
quietest, but in the larger numbers with
great climaxes he works up, and his
body sways, and his raven locks shake
and fall gracefully back on his head as

The Banda Verdi is small as concert

YACHT CARNEGIE:
ENDS LONG CRUISE
Travels $4,000 Miles in
, Trip of Three and a
Half Years

New York, December 2O.-After a three
and a half years cruise about the world,
during which she Travelled $1,000 miles,
the nonmagnetc yacht, Carnegie, of the
Carnegie institution, Washington, dropped
anchor today in Erin basin, South Brook
lyn.
During every day of her trip through
frigid and torid zones, scientists aboard
the 155-foot auxiliary yacht took mag
netic observations and they brought back
with them records of important errors,
particularly in the charts showing the
compass variations over the Indian ocean.
The correction of these errors will prove
of great importance, according to Will
liam ]. Peters of the department of ter
restrial magnetism of the institution, who
commanded the vessel, said tonight.
The vessel, Its sails weather stained and
frayed and its hull bearing evidence of
the adventurous cruise 1t has had, will
be thoroughly overhauled during the win
ter in preparation for another long jaunt
Mr.. Peters will Immediately prepare
his report of the magnetic observations
for the institution. The more important
variations which were found already have
been sent by wireless or cable to the
various governments of the world for the
use of navigators. Whenever the yacht
touched land observations were made
through the courtesy of the different gov
ernments.
The Carnegie has practically no mag
netic metals in her make up, save the
small auxiliary engine used to supple
ment the 1900 feet of sail she carries
The yacht is 155 feet over all, with a
displacement of 56S tons.
