The primary object Of high-speed engines for motor
cars was the attainment Of great racing speed.
Tho hardest ching in building them was to make

Another difficulty was to combine high engine
speed with the feature Of al-round performance which

Now comes the remarkable 8400 I. ,. m. Chalmers

1900 revolutions per minute, not only with absolute

Strength of materials, compact bearing and radia-

BY toning down The original might Of this whizz of
an engine, TO q point where the average man or woman

Riddle Makinq Epochs.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue, and such epochs would appear
to occur at seasons Of fresh intellec-
tual awakening. Such an epoch there
was at the first glimmering of new In
tellectual light in the second half OF
the seventeenth century. This was the
age of Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne.
the first in the roll of Anglo-Latin
poets. He left considerable number
Of enigmas in Latin hexameters. Aid
helm died in 100. Before his time
there was a collection of Latin riddles
that bore the name of Symphosius. or
this work the date is unknown We
only know that Aldhelm used it, and
we may infer that it was then a recent
product. The riddles of Symphosius
were uniform in shape, consisting each
of three hexameter lines.-Cornhill

Explosive Barrels,

Nitroglycerin, though an explosive,
is rarely used by itself, being mixed
with guncotton to form blasting gela-
tin or with certain earth to make
dynamite. Huge quantities of the ex-
plosive liquid are kept in casks, and
the wood Of these casks becomes so
highly explosive through being soaked
with the liquid that kick will blow
them to pieces. 1t is not safe to use the
empty casks again for retilling them
with the explosive. nor can they be
used in any other way, even for fire
wood. There is only one thing. indeed.
that can be done. and that is to ex-
plode the casks. They are placed on
waste ground and usually exploded by
means of Il rifle bullet fred into them.
Very little of the cask remains after
the explosion.-London Standard.

The Medal of Honor.

A military decoration more difficult
to earn. or at least far more sparingly
awarded than the emblem of the Leg
ion of Honor, the Victoria cross or the
Iron cross, is the medal of honor,
which is the proud possession Of few
American soldiers. The highest deco
ratiOns that European governments
bestow for exceptional valor may all
be won in the ordinary course of duty,
but the wcarer of our medal of honor
must have distinguished himself con-
-spicuously "for gallantry and intrepid
ity above his comrades-service that
involved extreme jeopardy Of life or
the performance of extraordinarily
hazardous duty."-EXchange.
