Veto Deemed Certain
Since the President delivered his
veto message there have been no
indications that his opposition to
the equalization fee has been les
sened. 1t is regarded as virtually
certain that he again will veto a
relief measure containing this pro-
vision.
This would mean that the farm
relief issue would be carried over
into the next presidential campaign.
Gray said some farm relief advo-

He said, however, that the pre-
ponderant farm sentiment is in ia

not destroy the equalization fee.

Got Back at Toastmasfer

A. A. Borland Of Pennsylvania when
called on for an extemporaneous
speech at banquet is said to have re-
marked that he had somewhat the
same feeling for the POSTMASTER that
a certain thief had toward a church
bell. This thief had robbed a small
town bank, and had apparently made
his getaway in good shape by hiding
In church belfry.
After time he grew weary Of his
surroundings, and thinking the coast
clear, undertook to slide down the
nearby rope to safety. No sooner had
he started down than the bell began
to peal, and almost Immediately he
found himself surrounded by a good
share Of the village population. See
ing that he had no hope of escape, he
looked up at the bell and shaking an
angry fist remarked: IF it hadn't
been for your long tongue and empty
head, wouldn't be In this mess."-Ex-

Electricity and Bananas

Among the many extensions of the
use Of electrical machinery attention
may be called to the employment of
motor-driven marine legs" a machine
to unload bananas from the holds of
fruit-carrying vessels at New Orleans.
Not only Is there great saving Of
labor, but 1t is said that the fruit is
much less damaged than when unload
ed by hand. At Louisville electric
radiators have been employed to ripen
bananas for local consumption. The
fruit is hung in ripening rooms and
subjected to temperature of from
20 to 80 degrees during a period of
4S hours. Afterward it is kept in
storage at temperature of from 60
to 20 degrees.-Washingto Star.

Go Far Back to Find
Idea of Steam Engine

DR.. Frank H. Vizetelly, managing
editor of the Standard dictionary, says
the original steam engine was the coll
pile at Nero, which was exhibited in
the Serapeum of Alexandria in the
year $50 B. c. The Serapeum is the
great temple of Scraps, that stood
near Memphis and was built over the
mausOIeum of the Apis, or sacred bulls,
out in Egypt.
1.-THE first steam engine equipped
with cylinder and piston was invent
ed by Denis Papin, in 1890. He was
a French physicist, who invented a
condensing engine, siphon and safety
valve. Not until 1706, however, did
Newcomer and Galley make the piston
engine practical engine, but just to
give you an idea of what an interna-
tional thing the steam engine is, let
me say that, although there is no rec
ord of the use Of steam expansion as
propulsive power prior to the Sew
enteenth century, with the dawn Of
this century an italian, Giovanni Bat
tista della Porta, in a work of his on
pneumatics, suggested the principle of
steam condensation and consequent
suction, Incorporated in his water
pump, in 1898, by Thomas Slavery, an
English military engineer, who lived
from 1850 to 1715 and wrote on paddle
wheels.
1T was, as I have said before, in
1706 that Newcomer improved the
pumping engine, adopting the princi-
pie Of cylinder and piston found in
Papin's invention, but this became en-
tirely obsolete when, in 1859, James
Watt added condenser separate from
the cylinder, and this made an enor-
nous saving in the expenditure Of
heat. He secured a patent for apply
in a continuous revolving motion to
shaft provided with a fiywheel, in
1881, but left 1t to Richard Trevi-
thick, in England, and Oliver Evans,
in the United States, to introduce,
about 1900, the high-pressure engine
that opened the way to Stephenson
and the modern locomotive"

Darwin had his chief ideas on evolu-

London and vicinity. An all-England
festival Of folk dancing and singing
was held recently and nearly 1900
people stepped the figures that once
were popular on the village green.
Tunes that-were familiar in the old
en- times were played by an old-fash-

One feature was display by two
teams of traditional sword dancers
from Durham and Yorkshire. At the

Adolfc de la Huerta, former president

Los Angeles Is Headquarters.
Los Angeles, because of its proximi-

the headquarters of all foes Of the

outbreak of the recent religious con-
