a large percentage of the legular tiain—
men cannot tell with any degree of
accuracy. Engineers use their driv-
ing wheel as a gauge.- They know its
; circumference, and- by counting its rev—
‘ olutions within a certain time can tell
very accurately the speed at which they
are running.
A favorite method of timing among
passengers is to count. the telegraph
poles. As a rule these poles are plantr
ed '30 to the m'ile, but in prairie coun-
tries", where only a. single wire. is used,
.t-he number diminishes to 25, so that
rule will not always work. ‘ Themost.
accurate method, and. the one most. in.
use by experienced railroad men, is to
count the number of rail joints. the

Our Soldiers Were Good.
The records of the judge advocate of
the United States army show the re-
mar kable fact that throughout the late
war there was nota single case in which
the death penalty was imposed upon
any soldier on account of violation of
the military law. This is believed to be'
without. parallel in history. Crimes
were. committed, but they lacked-mal~
‘ice or premeditation. and there were no
desertdons because of co“ ardice or
treachery The soldiers of the United
_-States deserve well the high estimation
in which they are held fOI their moral
and mental as well as their phy sicsl
qualities.
30 clicks on a. rail joint. in 20 seconds,
. the train is running atma speed of 30
miles an hour. Actually, this method
falls 3. little short, as in the example
given above the speed would be nearer
31 than 30 miles. but it. is near enough
for all practical purposes.
Hit’in the-Back.
_ In his “Core-an Sketches” Mr. Gale
tells this story of a Chinese battle:
came to the dispensary in Mukden for
treatment. were wounded in the back.
‘How is it- that sons of the gods are
wounded in the afterparte only ‘2' asked
the foreigner. ‘It looks as if they had
run from the barbarians! ‘We ad-
vanced all right,’ said the Chinaman,
‘according to military methods. Then
we put on fierce faces, like Chevkal-
Yang, the god of war, certain that
the Wo-Jen would run, as they would
have done if they had' not been hope-
less savages, unacquainted with Chi-
nese characters. We rushed on them,
breathing fort-h fire, but they moved
not. Then our general shouted ‘Vic—
to'ry! ’ forlwe- had paralyzed them with
our boldness. But suddenly a long
row of guns was raised like one arm,
and, immortal godsl such a dastardly
way to fight I never saw! I know not.
whv we were wounded in the back.’ ”

Power at the Pam-is Exposition.
The total amount of power estimated
as necessary for the Paris exposition is
20,000 horse-power, of which 15,000 is
allotted for lighting and 5,000 for mo-
tive power. Upon this assumption
there is allowed a consumption of 440,-
000 pounds of steam per hour, or, for
205 days, at. seven hours per-day, a to-
tal of 631,300,000 pounds of steam for
the entire period. This will require 200
tons of coal :1 day, and the water re-
quired for condensing purposes is esti-
mated at more than 280, 000,000 cubic
feet for the whole period of the exposi-
tion.

A SAD MEMENTO.
)ne 0-: the Many Touching Stories 01
Soldier We in the Late
War. ‘
l arising from the late war, the following
is told by the New York Commercial
Advertiser:
A man o-f‘the Thirty-third Michigan
was' loaded down with baggage, and
over his shoulder he carried two guns,
tied together with twin-e. He was
smoking a.~ cigar, and kept- up a. con.-
stan-t stream of bantering remarks in a
reekl e-s's way.
“There’s our train, boys,” he said, as
his company crossed the platform and
clambered down the sandy slope toward
the siding. “Don’t. you see the sign?
‘Improved Stable Cars.’ Well, thank
goodness, we're going the other way
this time.”
When themen halt-ed beside the cars
a bystander said affably to this man:
“You’ve got. more than your share of
baggage.’
“I don’t. know about that ” answ ered
the Michigan soldier, soberly
“Where did y on get! the extra gun ‘2”
' “It’s. a dead- man’s gun. It belonged
' to a. man. who was killed down in Cuba.”
“And you are taking it. home, are
you?” -
“Yes, I’m= taking it. to his folks.”
The stranger seemed inclined to get
more of the story, but- the soldier turned
his head away, so that no- one could see
his face.
“It belonged to my brother,” he said.
Successful Egg Storage.
An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried in Scotland.
At Leith last June 50,000 Scottish-Irish
and 'Danish eggs were sealed up in a
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
AmeIican, and were opened and' ex-
amined four months afterward. and
only a small proportion of the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
airis allowed to have free access around
each egg. which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period-
ically, so that the yolk of the egg is
is accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames. which. by the action of a lever,
can be inclined in different directions
,as needed. In, this way 23, 000 eggs can
be turned over _in a minute without
any chance of breakage.

HOW «Jena» GETS His BEER.
'Daily' Afternoon Performance in a
Select Residence District
in Chicago.
On a. corner in one of the most aris
tocratic residence districts of the. North
side is a small saloon that is an eye-
sore iO property owners and a Mecca. to
drinking men of all classes. Before
its doors are drawn up hearses, delivery
wagons and handsome carriages.
Coachmen assemble in one of the streets
upon which the little saloon opens, and,
while the fashionable women whom
they serve are enjoying afternoon tea,
they indulge in afternoon beer, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean
A brougham driven by a man in con—
spicuous livery drove by the saloon the
other day. Two landaus and a coupe
vere assembled to take part in an im-
promptu “whisky," but the coachman
paid no attention to the other stylish
jehus. He drew up in front of a. large.
flat building, looked straight ahead,
and made a peculiar signal with the
black fur glove. For five minutes he
sat quite immovable.
From the back door of the saloon a
colored man walked out, carrying a
new japanned. coal bucketl I-Ie Crossed
to the pavement near which the
brougham was stationed. Putting the
coal bucket on the sidewalk, he stooped
ov er and took something from it which
he handed to the coachman. The coach-
man‘s big fur glove was folded over the
article for a moment. Then thcglove
was raised to the ooachman‘s mouth,
the cockaded hat' was thrown back an
instant, the black glove returned some-
thing to‘ the colored man, and the
brougham moved'on.
American Poultry' Condemned.
, Nine tons of poultry, consisting of
‘2,169 geese, turkeys, chickens and
ducks, from Boston, were landed re-
cently at a London deck, where it was
found that they had decayed on the
voyage. They could not be condemned,
however till they had been loaded on
wagons and carted to a police‘court,
where a police magistrate came out,
listened to the inspector’s story, satis—
fied himself by hisown senses that. the
fowls were unsound and ordered them
to be destroyed. A police magistrate is
apparently- the only English official
who can condemn bad meat, and this
he cando only after listening to a com-
plaint and examining the corpus de-
lecti personally in his own courtroom.
