We therefore find the operating raecitenism a the elevators; placed at the to of the tower* end the plumbing equipment Mike dirded into aeveral hidependeut systema at progressive heights. What a great aggregation of mechan- ical epplieneee is required for the proper equipment of one of these modern office buinlings may be realized when it is stated that in one recently vompleted building there are in. coostent operation elevatore each requiring provision for alrout fifty horse -power, 18,000 electric lights, arid a 'boiler equipment of a total rated rapacity of 6,000 horse -power. The hydraulic pumping machinery installee exclusively for the operation of eIe eke vator system is capable of delivering 28,000,000 gallons of water per day. The electric lighting equipment woutd be adequate for the lighting of every house and street in a town of 5,000 inhab- itants. The average day consumption of coal during the winter months is in the buildings under consideration thirty tons, and as the exhaust or waste Merlin from all the engines and monps is uti- lized for heating the building the con- sumption is only a little more por day In winter than in summer. The combined distance travelled by all the elevators in a ten-hour day is 120 miles, reckoning both up ana down trips. ln order to convoy some idea of the magnitude of the undertaleing of wiring truth a great building for its light and power supply, the following statistics may be of interest: Almost 2,000 miles of electric wire are installed, all of the wires being enclosed in iron pipes, in or- der to ensure perfect insulation; about 300 miles of one-laalf inch electrie con- duit pipes are required to contain these wires) 13,000 electric light fixtures are fastened in place and connected with the electric wires, and 10,000 switches are Installed for the control of the lights. But the mechanical equipment em- braces more than provision for elevator power and lighting. There are two thirty horse -power electrically driven pumps for operating the vacuum clean- ing plant installed in the buileing, four eight -five horse -power electrically driven fans for the operation of the ventilating system, which takes fresh air from the roof and forces it into the engine rooms; automatically controlled pumps, also electrically driven, for pumping waste water and sewage from the lowest level up into the street sewer, and other auto- matically controlled pumps for the oper- ation of seven hydraulic plunger dense - :tors which supplement the electric el°. vator equipment. To all the vast array of machinery aunt be added the refrigerating plant for supplying the tenants with ice wa- ter, the air compressors which operate the methanism controlling the doors leading to the elevators, and a storage battery equipment of 142 cells for emer. geucy service, reeelo.esnr, 4 4 • • Pew pedestrians who travel along Fifth avenue, Wood and other 'streets of Pittsburg-, -where the big skyscrapers are thickest, see more than the life that throngs the great buildinga from the ;streets. Yet below the sidewalks is the ponderous mechanism in constant opera- tion to furnish the light, heat, power and ventilation 'Mai enables the occup- stag of the floors above the street to exist in comfort. In the plans and speci- fications of one of the modern skyscrap- ers more attention is given by the de- signer to the portion underneath the sidewalk than is given. to the building above the street level. The firsb con- cern is for the foundsttion, end after that the steel skeleton .a the building. The steel skeleton mustrcarry the eutire load of the building and resist the force of the snore violent winds, With these neatters disposed of and left for execution in responsible hands, attention is next given to the required mechanical equipment of the building, and here the aid and co-operation of en- gineering skill of the highest order are demanded. Specialists in the various lines of steam boilers, heating and 'ven- tilating apparatus elevators, eleotrio lighting and plumbing are celled in conference 'with the architect and with each other. The growing tendency to extend of- fice -buildings to greater and still great- er height ha s§ naturally increased the di- mensions of the mechanical equipments and taxed the skill and ingenuity of their designers. Especially has this In - urease in height affected the elevator equipmesets. When up to several years ago twenty storeys seemed to be the ex- treme limit in height which would be reached the then nOwn types of eleva- tor were entirely adequate and satisfac. tory for the demands of the service, but -when quite recently office building tow- ers of thirty-six and forty-five stories •were projected it was found necessary to devise an entirely new system of snows - tor construction and to adopt a enechani- ltal principle peculiarly adaptable to such high travel. That tho skilful engineers concerned have satisfactorily staved this problem is attested by the fact that the tenants and visiting public patronize these ole - 'atom travelling to a height of over five- hundred feet, with no more fear or thought of danger than -when riding in the elevators of the older structures. As in the cases of these lofty towers the area. of the lot covered is propor- tionately -very email end the unavoict, able increase in capacity and dimen- slims of the TAeelianieal equipment very considerable, difficulties and serious problems were encountered in disposing: "AFTER.

The beekeepers of the Wharton sec- tion frequently suffer lOsses from the depredations of bears. Various kinds of devices art used to protect the apiaries from the inversion of these animals. The trap gun is one of the most effective guardians of the beehives. The fact, however, that more or less danger is In- curred to iunocent human beings who snight acaidentelly throw the spring of a trap gun causes many of the apiarists to prefer to keep an armed guard over thoir beehives. The Caney bottoms, situated a short distance from Wharton, are the natural habitat of nany black beam.. erhe ani- mals &eels), to have a keen scent for honey, and they make nightly incursions into the adjacent territory in search of a feast of their favorite sweets. One bear ean play havoc with. an apiary In short order. He knocks the sten& over one by one with his ponderous paws and quickly obtarins an, opening into the honey com.partments. The average bear has a large capacity for honey and one of the animols has bene known to clean up a score of bee stands In a single nlght. enry Carter, who has a large Wary In the Boling neighborhood, had an ex- citing experience with two honey -loving bears reoently. He has a pack of bear dogs, which leave been used principally to guard his bees against the attacks of bruin. The kennel of these dogs is close to the hives, and no bear cared to ven- ture clese to the spot. A neighbor bor- rowed the pack to trail down some bears that had been giving him trouble, and failed to return the dogs at night. Mr. Carter was awakened about midnight by a noise which came from his orcherd, where his bee colonies were located. Be quickly divined that a bear raid was on. He grabbed a rifle and. hurried out of the house toward the apiary. • Ile took a sudden backward jump when a big black beer rose upon its hInd feet from behind a beehive and started toward him. Mr. Carter fired at the animal at close range. The bullet wound- ed bruin and stopped his progress tera- porarily. At this m-olnent Mr. Carter noticed another bear running -off from arother part of the apiary. He took a shot at it, but must have missed, as no sign of blood was found afterward, The first bear -which h. had wounded soon regained its feet and got so close .to Mr. Carter as tonerike at him viciously with one of its paws. Mr. flirter bounded behind an adjacent tree, where he got in t WO more shots from his rifle before the hear could reach him. The beers had completely destroyed his apiary before he arrived on the seene.—Wharton cor- respondence Memphis Commercial Ap- peal. BNAPIING MUMS.

There are sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil a soup to perfection. They are only used, however, by scientists. A sun stove consists mainly of a mirror, a spherical rnirror, on a joints There is abso a reflector. The place for pot. or plate is so sheeted that the mirror's rays can be foeessed on its accurately. A. German, Baron Tcherhausen, was the first sun cook. He began in 1687 to boil water, and in 1688 he had. very good success in boiling eggs. Sir John Hers- chel and Button are other famous names associated with sun cooking. In Cali- fornia various sun cooks have boiled a gallon of water in twenty minutes, roasted 'meat in tow hours and poached eggs in fifteen minutes—quite as good time as the ordinary fire makes. Au odd thing about meat roasted by sun rays is that it hae an -unpleasant taste. This is avoided by the insertion of a plate of yellow glass between meat and mirror, In all solar stoves the sheet of, yellow glasr figures.—Tit Bits. -44,* REVISED. • I s :Ye mariners of England That guard our native seas, ?Whose flag hat braved a thousand yore ne battle and the breeze, Your glorious standard launch again i To *natal; a modern foe, 'And By through the sky While the stormy wits do blow—i ;Whilei the navies grapple in the bine,.

The firs ttwo months of every quarter should have thirty day a and the third thiry- one days. Thus each quarter would have ninety-one dam seeking 384 days for the year. As the solar year has 286 days 6 hours 48 minutes and 49.7 seconds, one day in the Year should oe slt—ply called New year's clay wtthout a weekday name. This disposes of the extra day, leaving ths difference ef five hours and the min- utes mid seconds, These on four years' time would. but for forty-five minutes. make an extra day, which Prot Ssloillloff eropoess to call the Day After New Yesr. Pbe forty- five minutes wouhl amount up is a day in 128 years, and so the Day After New Year should fall but 'once in 128 years, There le still a difference of a • few seconds, but as this dose not amount to it day in 5,000 or 6,000 years It may he disregarded. Under this systeut eyery first day of a quarter would be a Monday, the first day of tho second month always' a Wednesday and the first day of the third month always a Friday. It is also proposed to make Easter, from which all church festivals are reckon- ed, occur at a fixed date, which the ecclesia- stical authorities are invited to name,— a Week "There's Somethfng In the English After All." I've been meditating lately, that when every- thing is told, There's something in the English after all; They inay be too bent on conqpeat, and too eager after gold, But there's somethIng in the English after all. Though their sins and faults are many—and i,won't exhaust my breath BY endeavoring to tell you of them all— Yet they have a sense of duty, and they'll face it to the death, $o there's something in the English reter all.

It may appear tliat life with some is all delight and peace; but if we could see deeply, we would. find. but few, if any, who are not engaged in a battle of some kind, and most often of many kinds. With the great multitude there is the struggle for daily sustenance. With those who have plenty, there is the battle against the temptations of roaming desires, instability, intemper- ance, idleness, selfishness, and the slow. decay of indulgence. There is the bat- tle for great riches, an enduring name, for flattery, fax the -first place and the high estate, for the goal of ambition; the battle against disease, the infirmities of age, and against death. Then there is an entirely different class of battles, the battle against pride, envy, cruelty, and revenge in the heart, the battle against ignoranceespiritual indifference, discour- agement and despair, and. against the warning of joy and death of love. Who mut IMMO all the enemies that give bat- tle ag-ainat body, mind and soul? They lurk in the hardships of poverty, and crowd the broad. way and open the door of wealth. They are ill around us, as were the enemies of Israel about them in the wilderness. It is the fundamental purpose of the Christian religion and of the church which stands for it, to bring into the individual soul a power that can conquer in all these beetles. They show that this power is from the Lord, and they teach how it can be brought into life and made practical in saving front the battles that are againet us. The saving power. el the Lord comes frcen within. We commence life on the sense - plane, and become so accustomed. to look outward and downward rather than upward and within, that the power com- ing from within seems no math for the mighty forces that assail us from with- out. Our religion expleine hew the Lord operates within us so that we can re- cognize His works and co-operate with Bine It shows how the tender forces within can grow, and the conditions ea - der which they 'become so supreme that at all times the o will deliver out of temptations and. affections.

The saving power is not a mere persuasion, an abstract the- ory, however consietent and. tational, but It is the power of life from the Lord teligently received and used, giving one to say, to know, and to feel, "Ile hath delivered my soul in peace from the bat- tle that was against me."

He would have us more interested, just now, in what he can ,,do for us here than hereafter. If, having given ourselves to Christ, we concern ourselves little with lemming how to live the Christ -life while we are in the body, the salvation that we at- tain will -certainly be robbed of some of its blessings. Some who cherish the hope of salvation seem to expect it to come at the end of a misspent life, instead of its making for them a life of purpose and service on earth. Whatever may be the future of those who seek this sort of salvatiopeit is plain that their vim ent life is a betrayal of the Master whom they profess to serve, Not the saving of a wreck, but the preventing of a wreck, is the greatest blessing Christ can offer; and we dishonor his name when we reject his best.

PRAYER. Blested Christ, Thou didst eome not to our genius and cleverness and leering, but to our love, out simplic- ity, our need, our brokenhearfednese. To this man, said the high, the lofty one that inhabiteth eternity—will I look, to the man that is of a humble and contrite heart, and who trembleth at My word. May we be enabled to supply the happy conditions under which Thou wilt visit our hearts; then Thy coming -in shall be like the dawn of a summer day, and all that ie within us will rejoice, as flowers are glad when blessed by the annlight. We thank Thee for Thy holy book. Thy sacred altar, the place of com- mon and public prayer, and the ground on which the rich and the poor alike can Meet to call The Father, and to lift up their eyes with a com- mon expectation to the all -blessing and all -giving heavens. We usually say of such places and times, Thee aro the miracles of God: these are the creations of love: these are the outeorning of the spirit of the cross of Christ.
