Impressed the Child.

Representative John c. Floyd Of Ar
kansas is one % the mildest-mannered
trust busters that ever set foot in the
house judiciary room, but he has a
voice like the roaring bull of Bashan
and when his voice, gestures and shak'
ing, shaggy name all get into action at
once the sound Of Niagara is but q
foolish whistle by comparison.
A child sitting in front Of Floyd
when in action, must get the impress
sion he is watching Vesuvius blow off
a couple of million tons of lava. And
It was a child who sat through an ad
dress of Floyd's the other day. The
Arkansas trust buster was delivering
a little talk in a church one evening,
and in the well-known words Of the
amateur reporter, che held the audi
ence spellbound."
After it was all over the little child
was led, amazed and blinking, out
into the starlight. He grasped his
mothers hand warmly, and asked in a
frightened whisper:
Mamma, was that the Lord talking
in church,"

Disaster Of a Century Ago.

Several lives we're lost and much
property destroyed by an explosion OF
gunpowder which occurred at Wool
wich 100 years ago. Woolwich is the
most ancient military and naval ar
senal in England. In its dockyard men
of-war were built as long ago as the
beginning OF the sixteenth century
The royal arsenal contains a factory
for the making OF shells and car
tridges and q mammoth foundry for
casting armor and ordnance, In add
tion to vast magazines OF great guns,
powder and other warlfke stores. The
Royal Military academy, where off,
GERS are trained for the British army.
also is a part OF the institution. Dur
ing the centuries Of its existence the
arsenal has been the scene Of many
disastrous fires and fatal explosions.
One of the most recent OF the explo-
sions occurred in 1903 and resulted in
the death or serious injury of more
than thirty persons.

Using the boys own fishing rod in
graphing for his body, passengers on
q Susquehanna and Western train that
had knocked Paul Colombo from a
bridge near Babbitt, N. j., into the
river, succeeded in hooking his coat

The lad, who lived at Twenty-third

bridge with John Eichlar, when the
train due at Hackensack at IL: sc came

grazing his heel. The Colombo bo.
was struck on the side of the hea'
as he tried to swing away from tn
rail. Engineer Vrooman saw the bo
fall into the river, stopped the train
and the passengers hurried to tn
scene. Several boys who were swim
ming near by dived time and again
but without success.
Then the passengers took turns will

WILL USE LARGEST TURBINES
Rapid Transit Company Of New York
10 Installing Record current-Pro-
ducine Engines.

The largest turbines in the world
are now being built by the westing-
house company for the power station
of the Interurban Rapid Transit COM
pany, East River and Seventy-fourth
street, New York. They will supply
sufficient electric current to operate
1875 fully loaded ten-car trains accom-
modating 135,OOO people.
Each turbine-there are three-will
be directly connected to a dynamo
which will deliver $4,000 kilowatts. or
about $1,000 horsepower, and at full
overload each machine can deliver
$4,000 kilowatts, or practically $4,000
horsepower, for a short period Of
time.
The amount Of steam used and the
enormous amount Of cooling water re-
Quired for the condensers afford fig
ures that are positively astonishing
to the layman. Each unit will use
about 100000 pounds of steam per
hour, and TO condense this steam SO
that all the benefits of vacuum may
oO OpNoAhVN SohhtSllOh WIN tho
low pressure unit each turbine must
be provided with a condenser contain
ing $4,000 square feet of cooling sur
face. To insure this the condenser
will contain sc miles Of brass tubing
one inch in diameter. The necessary
amount Of cold water for circulation
through the tubes will be drawn from
the East river, and through each con-
denser there will be passed every
hour 100000 gallons OF water. To
pump this amount of water through
the condensers for the eight units
which will be ultimately installed calls
for tunnel twelve feet four inches
wide and twelve feet four inches in
height.

RAT.INFEsTeo ENGLISH CITY
Sheffield 10 Moved TO Seek Relief From
q veritabIe Plague Of
Rodents.

Sheffield, England, is crying aloud
for help from pest of rats. The
wall of the rat-infested city is car
ried to the United States through an
official report on the situation made
by Mr.. Luther j. Parr, United
States deputy consul, who calls upon
american rat exterminators" to
show what they can do in the shape
of aid. He says, according to the
New York Evening Telegram:
"An opportunity will shortly occur
in Sheffield to demonstrate the value
of American rat exterminators. What
is known as the killing shambles and
the fish and meat market, located
right in the center of the city, are
to be pulled down in accordance With
the new town-planning scheme of the
city authorities.
when this does occur it is recog-
nized by the public that the home of
millions of rats will be destroyed
and articles and letters appearing in
the local newspapers recently urged
the corporation to do something to
prevent the migration of this vermin.
"The steel works and large stores
in this city are very largely infested
with rats, and l understand many at
tempts have been made to extermi-
nate them. In the works, however,
very little damage is done by rats,
and it is the rule to occasionally en-
ploy professional rat catcher, who
catches about 100 rats a night, and
is paid f1 ($4.s7) for a nights
work.
"Such a profession is no doubt in
fuenced by the fact that there is a
ready sale to sporting men for the
rats caught, for training their dogs"

ELECTRICAL VACUUM WASHER

An electrically operated washing
machine has been developed which
cleanses clothes by forcing water
through them instead of rubbing
them on a corrugated surface. A
continuous flow of water is main
tanned through the fabrics by Great
ing an air pressure and a vacuum on
opposite sides of the mass Of clothes
being washed. The washer is de-
signed to be attached to twin station
ary tubs of any size or make. The
machine can wash, wiring or rinse ST.
multaneously or separately as de-
sired. All parts of this washer are
accessible, easily removable, and are
also interchangeable. All the rapid
moving parts are incased in oil. The
machine is operated by a small motor
of the inclosed type. 1t is equipped
with a ball-bearing wringer with in
closed gears, reversible waterboard
and quick-safety-release lever.-Elec-
