“HORSE-POWER” UNIT WRONG

Mistake That Can Be Definitely Traced to James Watt Was Never Officially Corrected. - =

“H. P.,” as you know, stands for “horse power,” and if, therefore, your motorcycle is a four and one-half h. p. one, you know that what is meant is that the engine has a power which is equivalent to that of four and a half borses. 3 ; g e

Not so! You would be incorrect to the extent of no less than 40,000 pounds, remarks a London Answers writer. ;

. The h. p. unit of power is a fraud, and the late James Watt of engine fame is responsible. He was a very careful engineer, in theory and practice, and he discovered, by many experiments, that the raising of 22,000 pounds one foot per minute was a good average horse-power. :

But “horse-power” today s reckoned at 33,000 Ibs. per foot per minute—ll,ooo pounds in excess! That is due to the fact that Watt, in his anxiety to encourage business, offered to sell engines which would develop 33.000 pounds per foot as a horse-power —a third more than the actual. It would seem that he meant ultimately to be honest, but he died before that happened, and so bequeathed to the world, which has accepted it, a false unit measurement of horsepower, ‘

Engineers, of course; know of the error, and make due allowance for it; but the average individual does not. Your 10 h. p. car is, therefore, in fact, but a 6 2-8 one, and its power is equal to raising 222,000 pounds a foot in a minute, and not 333,000, ‘

IMMENSE ROOKERY IN LAKE

Birds Find Sanctuary on lsland on Which Hunters Are Forbidden to Set Foot,

Set in the middle of Great Salt lake Is Hat-island, 12 acres in area, one of the most densely populated rookeries in the world. Its official name is due to its shape, but it is more familjiarly known to westerners as Bird island. Seagulls and pelicans live there. The island is literally covered with them, and since hunters are not permitted to disturb the fowls, visitors experience no difficulty in walking about among them and observing their habits. The birds have established their roosts among the rocky formations of the island, which. Is surrounded by salt water more dense than that of the ocean. The highest point is about 100 feet above the surface of the lake. . The strangest sight on the island is the flock of young pelicans. They walk about like ia drove of sheep. One acts as. leader and the rest :follow. Large bodied, clumsy birds they are, scarcely able to waddle out of the way when one- approaches. As evening approaches one may look out over the lake, far to the northeast, and . see a cloud of tiny specks.. It is the adult pelicans returning home from the mouth of the Jordan river, or from the Great Bear river, 50 to 70 miles away. They are laden with fish for their young ones. The pouches under their beaks are filled with freshwater fish. s :

Never Saw Their Faces.

The young woman was looking at a ‘child’s book, “The Sunbonnet Babies.” Those Sunbonnet babies were my delight and my despair when I was little,” she said, “because I never could see their faces. If you’ll look carefully at every picture you’ll- notice the faces of those babies are never revealed. Other characters in the fllustration show their faces, but never the sunbonnet babies.

. “The only idea you can get of what sort of| little girls they were is by their posture. And I used to peer and peer at those sunbonnets. I used to turn over the pages and look through from the back side; I used even to tear the pages a bit to see if I could not get inside of those sunbonnets. But I never could. : S

“Some day I'm going to write to that sunbonnet artist and ask if he won't Send me, in confidence, one picture of those babies with their bonnets off.”— Springfield Union. . :

Eagles Change Color.

~ The young eagle is clothed in three kinds “of garments before it reaches maturity. During the first year it°‘is black, the second year slate-colored, the third year brown and white. It might be said that the bald-headed eagle is not bald. It is so called from the white ruff of feathers about its head. The three different appearances of the young eagle one time provoked a strange misunderstanding among bird observers, It was thought that they were three different species—the black, the George Washington and the bald. The eagle is one of the Fak conidae, which includes hawks and all gimilar birds of prey.

Great Authors Write Badly. All great authors write badly. That is well known. At least the pedants say so. Great writers are impetuous. The vigor of their vocabulary, the intensity of their style, the daring of their phrases disconcert the pedants. To the pundits good writing apparently means writing according to rules. But born writers make their own rules, or rather make none. They change their manner at every moment as inspiration dictates; sometimes they are harmoni ous, sometimes rugged, sometimeés in dolent ard sometimes spirited. So, according to the eommon ‘notion, they cannot write well.—Anatole France, -

WON OVER ALL HANDICAPS

Famous Explorer Conquered Disabil ities That Would Have Daunted Big Majority of Mankind. The belated dedication of a monument to Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, once & famous Arctic explorer, 18 a Treminder of an achievement quite as remarkable as anything that Kane did to add to the sum of knowledge of ' the polar regions. This ‘was his mastery of physical handicaps which would have daunted ninetynine men in a hundred. He was physically so frail that he was unable to complete his studies at college; he- completed his medical education at home, became a surgeon in the nayy, and while physiclan of the American legation at Peking began his .career as an explorer which marked him for fame. It is less known than it ought to be that his polar researches, important though they were, constituted only a small part of his work. He succeeded in descending into the crater of the Taal volecano, though several able-bodied adventurers had failed; he fought Bedouins in Egypt; he crossed the island of Luzon on foot, and he made an early study of Alpine glaclers in Switzerland. All this and more he accomplished before he died at the age of thirty-seven, sustained always by unfaltering pluck and by determination such as few men possess.

MORALITY AT A DISCOUNT

Evjdently Guide Had Learned Wisdom From Association With the Modern : Business Man. ;

Attorney General Daugherty sald at a dinnér in New York: “There’s a certain class of busi ness men—a very small class, thank goodness—whose honesty reminds me of a fish story. L ' “Two men with their guides were fishing for salmon in Lake Sunapee. The first man’s bag of salmon was the smaller of the two, so he swiped a fish from the second man. .

“But the second man caught him in the act. He had the nerve, though, to deny his guilt, and he refused positively to give back the stolen salmon. “A pretty bitter altercation followed, of course, and it looked as if there would be a fist fight; but just as they were peeling off their. coats the second -‘man’s guide—it was the second man who had been robbed, you know—the second man’s guide drew him aSide and whispered: ° . : ““*Ah, let him have it, bess, let him have it. I got two of his’” . /

- Ilven the art students are denied a little fun nowadays. Aspirants for fame were recently informed that for their year’s competition for the Prix de Rome they could submit either “A Nude Boy” or a “Prometheus.” These themes seemed rather hackneyed to the ambitious mind of youths, and the students protested, pleading for ‘some less banal test of their powers. The protest was ignored, and one of the students, in the exuberance of his disgust, proceded to ridicule the decision of the authorities by himself posing as “a nude boy” in one of the windows of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

The Philistine residents in the Beaux-Arts quarter were much scandalized, and complained to the authorities of the school, with the result that as a punishment for the student’s levity it has been decided to hold no competition for the Prix de Rome this year.—London Times. ~

“We had a big argument last night, Squire, about the real cause of the coal strike,” began ‘the village bore, upon discovering Esquire Ramsbottom, the well-known jurist of Petunia, sitting in comfort in his back-tilted chair in the shade. “Now, what is your opinion about——"

“Sorry, Emory, but I haven’t time to settle that for you now,” interrupted the squire. “I just happened to remember that my niece,told me to be sure to do sumething right away. I forget whether it was one or the other. To make certain of being right I am going now and have both operations performed. See you later!”— Kansas City Star.

- The Whipped Cream Age. : Old Charlie Isaaecson says: Yes As I rode out of Buffalo I observed three men playing poker in the club car—three tough politician types. When I arrived in New York I was thirsty and went into my favorite fountain at Grand Central. While 1 waited for the electric shaker to make my egg phosphate I heard in a gruff voice: - < “Three chocolate sodas, please.” And in a gruffer voice came the remark : _ G - “And give me plenty of whipped cream on mine” . I turned; I found the customers were my tough companions from the train.~—Pittsburgh Leader. .
