AMERICAN NAVAL TRIUMPH.

One hundred years ago the United
States sloop-of-war Peacock, in COM
mand of Captain Warrington, cap
tured the British sloop-of-war Eper-
vier, after a sharp action, off the
coast of Florida. The British lost
killed and IA wounded in the en-
gagement. The Americans suffered
but little, only two men being in
jured, and these but slightly. The
shot of the enemy had passed
through the rigging of the Peacock,
while the British sloop had been
hulled nearly fifty times. The Eper-
vier proved to be a valuable prize.
In her hold specie to the amount
of $118,000 was found. In addition,
when the vessel was sold to the Unit
ed States government, she brought
$4,000. So that each of the 166
men comprising the crew of the Pea
cock received enough prize money to
keep him in good humor for many
months to come.

Waste Spanish Soil Put to Excellent
Use by the American System
of Dry Farming.

Sixteen years ago we we're slaugh-
tering the blasted Spaniards. We
were firing red-hot shot through
their homes in Manila. We were
blowing their heads off at Santiago.
We were putting cold steel through
their hearts at San Juan. Wherever
we could we made their blood run
and liked it. The war taste was in
our mouth and we ragged as legiti-
mate butchers Of men. Whatever the
justification, the picture was awful
after nearly 1000 years of Christ's
teachings.
Today we have a cablegram from
Madrid saying that under instruc-
tions of our agricultural department
vast tracts Of semi-arid land in Spain
are proving productive through
American dry-farming methods. To-
day we are shooting potatoes, corn
and carrots into the poor homes Of
Spain. We are blowing hope into
the heads of the hungry of Spain.
We are seeing the poor of Spain eat
as they previously did not. 1t is
& picture to illustrate the teachings
of Christ after nearly 1000 years.
Great is our war department,
which can kill two foes where one
was killed before. Greater is our
agricultural department, which can
fll two stomachs where one was filled
before.-Cleveland Press.

Fifty Years With One Road

After so years of service, Conductor
Edwin Birley on June 80 made his
last official trip on his train, the
Haverstraw express of the New Jersey
& New York railroad. In all that time
he never figured in wreck and never
once was criticized by his superiors.
He is now past seventy.
Birley nearly broke down when
saying farewell to his brother conduc-
tors at the Jersey City depot just be-
fore the Haverstraw express left at
5:14 with Birley in charge for the last
time. More than a hundred of the
Haverstraw commuters gathered
around ED" and shook hands with
him ON the trip. He began railroading
as brakeman under Conductor James
G. Blauvelt, who also retired when
past seventy after As years of railroad
ing. Blauvelt is still living.

HELPS EMPLOYEES TO HOMES
Eastern Railroad, as Matter of Busi,
ness Policy, Has Put System
In Operation.

A large Eastern railroad, appreciat-
ing the value of satisfied and perma-
nent employees and realizing that an
employe with tangible interest in his
locality is most likely to have these
qualities, has made it possible for its
workers to obtain homes without i'm
mediate capital outlay The employe
who wants his own home selects what
ever type of house he prefers, and if
the employers committee on investi-
cation finds that the house is suitable
and reasonably priced, money is ad-
Vanced for the purchase, to be repaid
In monthly installments. The benefits
OF this plan to the employe who finds
1t next to impossible to save out of his
income the necessary sum to make
hrst payment on a home, but can pay
back its purchase price as he would
rent are obvious, as is the improve
ment Of this method Of home making
over the plan practiced by some indus
trial concerns Of selling homes COM
pany-buiit and of uniform type. The
company in starting this innovation
IS not animated by any motives of phi
ianthropy. 1t Is cold business. Salts
ned employees are necessary to bust
ness success, and it has set about
making them satisfied.

HOW PIRATES GOT NICKNAME
Co. en- Given Pittsburgh Team Be.
-se of Kidnapping of Louis Bier
bauer, Star Player.

The Pittsburgh team, commonly
called the Pirates, got that name as
the result of the kidnapping of Louis
Bierbauer, a star second baseman,
from the Athletics way back in 1888
or 1889. At that time there was a
working agreement between the Ma
tional league and the American asso-
citation by which neither organization
was permitted to reserve more than
fifteen players at the close of the
season.
The owners of the Athletics, in the
American association, desired to keep
sixteen of their men, but as only fif-
teen could be legally reserved, the
only way open was to leave one name
eff the list and take a chance on no
other club picking up the player. Ac-
cordingly, the Athletic management
failed to name Bierbauer in its reserve
list, hoping the omission would be
overlooked. But friend of the Pitts
burgh club noted that Bierbauer's
name was missing, and as Louis was a
much-sought player the friend told
Horace Phillips, manager of the Pitts
burgh club. Phillips proceeded to
Erie, Pa, where Louis passed the win
ter months at his home His trap was
successful.
Bierbauer was willing to listen, a
tempting offer was made, and when
Phillips returned he brought with him
the players signed contract for the
following season. The procedure was
perfectly regular, under the rules, and
Bierbauer played in Pittsburgh for
many years, but the manner of his
capture caused no end of talk in the
baseball world, and one Philadelphia
writer referred to the affair as an act
of piracy" on the baseball seas. The
Pittsburghers were promptly named
the Pirates" and the title has stuck

Electric Railroad in the Tyro..

The electric railroad known as Me
bertscher Balm is a short line of recent
construction in South Tyrol, and it
serves to connect the southern rail-
road station Of Bozen, by way of Kal-
tern and st. Anthony, with the Mendel-
pass mountain incline, which starts at
this latter place. OF ten miles length
with standard gauge track, the line is
operated entirely by adhesion, even
though the maximum gradient is 6.2
per 100. A substation at Eppan, sup
piled by a power line, serves to fur
nish 1,200-volt continuous current for
the electric road. Passenger and
freight trains are drawn by motor cars
carrying two electric motors of 100
horsepower each. = Scientific Amer

OLD GIRL "GOT EVEN"
HOW LOCOMOTIVE DOPED OUT
ITS SCHEME OF REVENGE.
Resented Being Assigned to Work
Train and Baked With Its Load
of Workers on Their Way
to the Polls.

If there's anything that a good.
smart, self-respectin' locomotive don't
like to do it's to pike around with a
work train, remarked the veteran en-
gineer in a reminiscent mood, "and
know it because of my experience
with old 326 some years ago. We had
had a trivial accident-cabo booSe jumped
the track; little harm done-but the
master mechanic got ugly about it and
assigned me and the old girl to a
work train Right there l looked for
trouble.
Sure enough, the next day the 326
was ordered out on the work train. an
| went with her. l saw right away
that the 326 didn't take to the work
train idea nohow Shed muss an puff
aroun' an look like a cloudburst in
the line She'd barely make steam
enough to get US down the branch an
back, an l had all I could do to coax
her along and keep her in a mood fast
enough to get us back home.
Finally election day came, and we
went down the branch as usual Our
train left early, long before time for
the polls to open; but the understand
in was that we'd knock off work early
in the afternoon an get the men back
in time to vote. There was some
three hundred odd went out with us
every mornin' and natchully, it would
make some difference whether they
got back in time. Well, sir, the 326
was as clipper as an old maid on her
weddin' day goin' down the line that
mornin' an she went about her work
all day with the steam singin' from
her safety valve.
The old nut is bright an cheerful
today says to my fireman, guess
she's got over her pet an will soon be
gettin back in fast company
"A little before three o'clock we
knocked off work an headed for home.
That would give us ample time to
make the 35 miles into town where
we all lived, before the polls closed.
But as soon as we headed for home |
could observe that the 326 was up to
steam enough on her to boil an egg.
Even a blind baggage car could see
that unless things mended we never
could get in before the polls were
closed. Yes, Stree, an we had only
madeabout eight miles OF our Journey.
when with a sort of malarial fever
an'ague motion, k-e-r-s-l-app-, l heard
somethin' go in the fireboX. Three of
her fiues give way an we had to draw
the fire
1--WE were stalled out there, % miles
from the pollin' place until seven
o'clock. The sad part of it all was
that the master mechanics son-in-law
was runnin' for sheriff of the county,
an was only beaten by about one
hundred and forty-nine majority. If
we had gotten in in time most all of
the boys would have voted for him, an
he'd surely have been elected.
Sure. The 1926 did it on purpose for
revenge on the master mechanic for
humblin' her. She tried to throw sus-
picion from herself by bein' clipper
the early part of election day, but it
only made the thing more plain to
me. Haven't | allus said that engines
are 101 per cent human? She lust

Porter,s Lean for Life

porter at Godalming station, Eng
land, Walter Simpson, was carrying
parcels across the line when he saw
that an express was almost upon him.
He sprang for the platform with a
great leap, landing on his knees. The
train swept by, carrying away the heel
of his right boot. Simpson believes
that gymnasium training when he was
in the army enabled him to leap to
safety.

cisco recently, in which an aviator
was to drop the balls from a distance
of 1000 feet. The only thing to mar
the occasion was that the man in the
aeroplane could not get the range Of
the park and he failed to drop bali
inside, where Harry Meek and Charley
Czech were waiting to make the
catches.
