DEVELOPMENT Of ENGINE
IS SHOWN IN COLLECTION
Exhibit at National Museum In
cludes Two of Original Locomo-
tives and Many Models.
History of That Form of Power Said
to Be Without Parallel in
Human Achievements.

Probably no museum collection in the
world better illustrates the develop
ment of the steam engine. particularly
the locomotive, than the exhibit of the
United States National Museum, which
includes two of the earliest original
locomotives and numerous models and
accessories.
The history of the steam engine is a
materialistic romance without parallel
in the record of human achievements.
1t covers the stupendous and persistent
efforts of many early philosophers and
mechanics, who found steam mys-
FERROUS. uncomfortable force, and left
it comprehensive, comfortable factor
of public service. The steam engine
has been termed the most successful
invention ever brought into use for
converting the potential energy of coal
into mechanical work.
No one knows how long after it was
observed that by holding down the lid
of a kettle of boiling liquid certain
force was created due to the compress
sion of the steam. before any use was
attempted with this newly discovered
force, although it was probably a great
number of years 1t is certain, how
ever, that sort of steam engine was
exhibited in Alexandria, Egypt. about
200 years before our era began, and It
was described in a work on pneu-
mates by Hero of Alexandria. written
between $50 and 1870 BIC. This ma
chine was rotary affair. more theo-
retical than practical, as were many
of the results of philosophy in those
days. reconstruction of this engine
in model form is in the museum ex-
hibits. which conception shows it to be
not unlike Greek aeolipile designed a
little later Neither of these machines.

The Deadly Fly.
TIRy Insect More DANGEROUS Than Most
Dreaded Wild Beast.

If flies were as big as they are
dangerous they would be larger
than mammoths the huge beasts
that roamed this earth in pre-
historic times, destroying every
thing that came within their
path.
You would not let a man-eating
tiger have free access to your
house not if you could help it,
you woulnn't. Nor would you let
lions or elephants come charging
from their jungle liars into your
kitchen or baby's bedroom and
then merely shoe them away,
saying: "Oh. they're such q
bothor!'
Yet the common house-fly is
more dangerous than these most
dreaded wild beasts-is in fact,
the most dangerous animal on
earth.
Flies slay more people than the
most ferocious denizens of the
jungles-because they carry
disease breeding germs from
sick people to well people from
impure and decayed food to pure
) food.
And when they do this ths
we'll person turns sick and il
many cases dies, and pure foo'
begins to decay and then, wher
eaten by we'll people. it makes
them sick and often kills them
The fly is born in filth ant
grows up to be natures scrven
ger and q messenger of death.
IN addition to the fly's tw'
claws, each of its six feet Is sup
piled with two sticky pads
Disease germs by the housand
stick to these pads and when tn
fly walks over your hands Q
face, or the face of your baby,
trail of deadly disease germ
Is left on the skin.
That is why you should ewa

THE BALL GAMH,

Last Saturday afternoon at 2:3O D. M,
the first game of the series between the
Custer High School and Hill City base
ball teams took place. Just before the
game Mr.. Graydon snapped picture of
the Custer team.
At 235 Mr.. Wilson called "play ball I"
and Eric Heidepriem pitched the first
ball of the game. The first two Hill
Town famed the air six times and the
third died on the first station. Glen
Coe was the first man up for Custer. He
reached the first bag in safety on a
mutfied ball by the catcher. In this
inning four runs were put down to our
credit. At the end of the third inning
the score stood to 0, and at the end of
the fourth 7 to 5 in our favor. In the
fifth inning Mr.. NJ. A. Willis was put in
as umpire not because Mr.. Wilson was
bum but because Bee thought ID too hot
in the sun. 1t was also in this inning
that things began to happen. With
man on third George slipped clever
cutter through the pitcher and arrived
on the first kettle in safety. Heidepriem
was next up and after whiting the air
once found the pill in the right place
and sent it and the fielder into the mid
die garden of the grazing pasture. In
that inning our honorable opponents
slipped three men over the pan on us
making the score 10 to in our favor
Nothing OF interest happened in the
sixth. In the seventh our boys slipped
three more over the platter making the
score Is to s in our favor. After beat
