SHRINE IS RUINED
Napoleon's Last Dwelling Place
Falling to Pieces.
After Visit to st. Helena, Traveller
Says Memorial to Emperor Is Sad
Iy Neglected and Annual
Grants Beerudged.

Paris.-A feeling of strong dissatis
faction has been aroused here by the
facts that have just been made pub
lie as to the deplorable condition into
which Napoleon's last place and tomb
at st. Helena has fallen.
In volume entitled after the En-.
peoror's Death" the well-known histo-
rian. Albert Cahuet, prints vivid de
scription Of these landmarks of French
history, which were acquired by the
government from England in 1858, for
$35,713, and vigorously combats the
movement now on foot to reduce, If
not cut off entirely, the annual grants
for their support. ..
"One would imagine he was visiting
shooting shelter for sale" he
writes. "All the doors are open. In
the first room, where Napoleon died,
is small altar, painted blue, and op-
posite it is bust Of the emperor. A
wooden balustrade marks the exact
spot where he drew his last breath.
"All the other rooms are absolutely
empty, everything that could be re-
moved having been carried away long
ago by foreigners as souvenirs. One
experiences feeling of desolation and
poignant sadness. The emperor's house
only just remains standing on its
old beams. Very soon the violent
winds with torrential rains will have
their way with it.
THE superficial repairs and the coat
or two Of paint, and even the new wall
papers, put on in 1911, will not COM
pensate for the crumbling foundations
and ruined walls.
The present caretaker, who Is at
least man of good intentions, wrote
to me recently:
Il am endeavoring to stay up the old
house to enable it to keep standing a
few years longer
"Napoleons tomb, in the Valley of
Geraniums," continues M. Cahuet, SIS
as sheltered as the Longwood house is
exposed, but the guardians continual
vigilance is necessary to prevent the
surrounding farmers from pasturing
their cattle in the valley, which Is
the property Of the French govern
ment. His efforts to have the tomb
respected keep him in constant con-
flict with other residents of the Ia.
land.
THE present keeper of the domain
has to insist strongly every year in
his letters home on the necessity for

SCRAP HEAPS ALWAYS FULL
Literally Millions Are Collected Every
Year From What Is Called the
Waste Material.

The wreckage of hundreds of thou.
sands of tons of steel and iron that
was piled up after fire and earthquake
had devastated San Francisco was
called the biggest scrap heap in the
world. Yet it shrinks into insignifi
canoe in comparison with the amount
of scrap material that the railroads OF
America accumulate every year.
The scrap heaps of the railroads
grow larger and larger every year
owing to the steady expansion Of bus
mess. They are composed of used-up
locomotives, machinery and material
of every sort and description. Even
at the small prices a ton or a pound
at which this metal waste is sold Il
brings In millions of dollars every
year.
Of all the vast amount of material
that a railroad purchases every
twelvemonth 80 per cent eventually
finds its way into the scrap heap In
no other business are the odds and
ends that are no longer serviceable
collected with so much care. Every.
thing, from the frames of tin lanterns
to the ponderous driving wheels of
locomotives, reaches the scrap dock
in the end
But before anything is "scrapped"
it has to be passed upon by about a
dozen experts. They look 1t over to
see If there is a possibility of its be.
ing used in any other way before 1t is
sold to the junk man. On one of the
eastern railway systems a few years
ago large quantity of steel freight
car holsters were found to be UNI
available for the type Of car for which
they were originally intended.
One by one the mechanical experts
shook their heads and voted that they
be sent to the scrap dock. But one
OF the examiners suggested drilling
an extra hole in the condemned boil.
sters and using them on a different
class Of truck than that for which
they were intended. This was done
at little cost and their journey to the
junk pile was delayed.
Nowadays the Railway Storekeep.
ers association is as wise to the value
of the scrap as the dealers The mem.
bers of the association have been
studying it year after year and dis.
cussing 1t at their annual meetings. AT
present scrap is classified into more
than hundred different grades and
varieties. Each has its market price
There is no longer chance for specu.
lation or guessing. The railways are
getting more for their waste material
today than ever before. The average
is between SIS and SIG ton.-Har.

Engineers Longest Lived of TraInmen

Engineers Longest Lived of TraInmen.
w. w. Atterbury, prominent rail
reader, declares that engine drivers
live longer than any other class of
employees.
"As an actual fact" he says, I'VE
have 202 engineers on the pension roll
rs per cent. of the pensioned en-
ployes are engineers, and they are
drawing IL per cent. of the pensions.
The average length of service of engi-
neers, Of those men who die from
natural causes, is 81 years and the
average length Of service as engineer
of those who die as result of acct
dent is 10 years, and the average
length of service Of the enginemen of
all men who die is 49,, s,
ItUis rather curious. and 1t is ex-
ceedingly interesting, to note that the
average age at death of all classes of
our employees, officers and every one
else, is 40, as against 81 for engineers,
and for those the average age at
death, as the result of accident, is
33 for all, as against AZ for engineers. :"
In other words, apparently the engl-
neer's length of life is longer than
that of any other of the railway en-
ployes of which any record is kept.

money in order to obtain the credits
which enable him to keep the tomb
In decent order.
But who troubles about this in
France?" asks Cauhet, in conclusion.
Occasionally at long intervals the
government asks the commander Of
one of our Atlantic squadrons to stop
at st. Helena and visit Longwood and
the tomb. A report in few lines ar
rives at Paris and Is quickly filed
away. e
LAS a matter of fact, both the house
and the sepulcher are now thought
a useless burden on the budget of
foreign affairs to the extent of $1,000
annually-$1,20 for the caretakers
salary and $500 for the expenses Of
upkeep and of the Waterman. At
tempts are being made to reduce this
amount, and in few years time, when
tehe old house tumbles down, the
French sentinel will be withdrawn
from Longwood. In that way the
ruined howell and the empty tomb will
be definitely abandoned"

nothing about such an engine warmer
than the atmosphere, and it gives out
nothing but pure air.
These locomotives range in weight
form six to 80 tons. The last and
largest was delivered to the naval
magazine at bingham, Mass, just the
other day.
In operation the locomotive is
about two and one-half minutes, and
with it's maximum pressure of 800
pounds it will travel a distance of
about four miles over the reservation
railroad, hauling four or FIVE standard
freight cars.
The reservation railroad consists of
$500 feet of main line, with numerous
short branches to shellhouses, maya
zines and the powerhouse One ter
minal connects with the New York
New Haven G. Hartford railroad at
West bingham, and the other is on
the wharf In a tidewater river.
The locomotive is used for hauling
ammunition from the side track to
the magazines and shellhouses, and
from them to the wharf for delivery to
the ships of the navy.
An ordinary charge for the locomo-
tive is $4,000 cubic feet of air, SO that
either compressor will supply about
six charges per day of eight hours,
sufficient to move the locomotive. with
its ordinary service loads, a distance
of from 20 to % miles. With both
compressors in operation the locomo-
tives could travel about 40 to SO miles
under the same conditions.
One of the features of this engine is
the "interheater" used for raising the
temperature Of the air, and thus CIV
ing 1t more power, after it leaves the
high-pressure cylinder and before it
enters the low-pressure cylinder. In
steam engines with interheaters the
steam must have heat from the boiler
applied directly to 1t, but In the air
locomotive the air Is cold when 1t
leaves one cylinder that 1t may be
heated simply by thorough contact
with the outer atmosphere. This is
how 1t Is done:
The air in its passage from the high
to the low pressure cylinder travels
longitudinally through the interheater
in a zigzag line back and forth across
the tubes with which the interheater
is filled. The exhaust from the low
pressure cylinder is utilized to create
draft through the interheater tubes,
thus bringing large quantities of at
mospheric air into close contact with
the refrigerated air from the exhaust
of the high pressure cylinder.
In this apparatus practically all the
heat lost due to the work done in
the high-pressure cylinder is restored
and the air is delivered to the valve
chest of the low-pressure cylinder at
practically atmospheric temperature.

Valuable Beetle Now.

Not long ago a Washington scient-
list, an enthusiastic student of natural
history, captured fine specimen Of
beetle. On reaching home he, in a
moment of haste, pinned the beetle
to a library table with his diamond
scarfpin.
When he returned to the library
from his dinner, he found the captive
had got loose and was flying about
with the diamond pin glistening from
his back.
Man and bug made rush for the
window at the same instant, says
Harper's Weekly. The beetle got
there first and triumphantly sailed
away, barely elu&ng the scientists
hand. Neither bug nor pin has since
been seen.

Easy Bargain.

Having tried unsuccessfully various
highly recommended recipes for dis
lodging selfish passengers from covet'
ed seats, the woman who swung from
a strap in front of the sandy man
tried talking at him to her husband.
AS a peroration to her harangue, she
said impressively:
''If you, James, should ever be pig
gish enough to sit down while there
was a woman in the car left standing,
l would never speak to you again as
long as / live"
The sandy man looked up then.
Lucky devil" he said. mot many
of us could purchase peace at that
price"

WASN'T GOING INTO DETAILS
ProPriety of Not Airing Strictly
Personal Affairs.

One little four-year-old boy who
doesn't live far from Central park
west, New York, has as his particular
playmate a little girl of about the
same age. The children frequently
spend their evenings together, and the
other morning the girl came to the
fence and called him.
Alton" she cried, come out and
play"
Atoms mother heard the call and
said to him.:
"Tell her you can't come over Just
now because you have to take a
bath"
So Alton went to the front window.
Elizabeth" he called, Il can't come
over now"
Then he turned back to his mother
and added:
Il don't fink the rest of 1t need be
saided."

number Of box cars Of heavy pieces OF
freight has recently. installed a novel
and efficient loading machine for han
ding box-car freight. AS the illustra-

that run on tracks between the cars
and the shipping and receiving plat

long arm of structural steel which
reaches into the car door; to this

attached, or II the pieces are small, a
large scoop or platform can be at

CITY Grass Is Different.

A remarkably interesting fact was
brought to light by Lord Redesdale be-
fore the advisory committee Of the
King Edward memorial fund for Lon
den, which was discussing the lay
ing out of Shadwell market site as

said, that grass brought from the

call adaptation to environment.-Lon
