L. Dun k ildero er. Milliner.
Our old friend, Andrew Utah, came
near meeting with a serious, if uot
fatal, accident on Friday morning.
While coming to town, Mr. Ulsh be
ing deaf, did not notice the arrival
of mail train, and when crossing the
track his buggy was almost caught
by tbe engine. Those who saw the
narrow escape say that he cleared the
track by only two or three feet
ahead of the train, and if the en
gineer had not slowed up a little, a
serious accident would no doubt
have resulted. It is always best to
."look out for the locomotive" before
crossing a railroad-Herald.

THE CRUISER COLUMBIA.
Marvelous Ingenuity in Utilutmg the
Power of Steam. What Her Ninety
six Engine Are for,
What a wonderfully intricate mass
of machinery is a modern man-of-war!
The "Columbia," for example, the
pet of the ne navy, and fondly re
ferred to by many as the, "Pirate,"
shows to ' whata degree ingenuity
can be carried in the way of utilizing
the power of steam. This fleet
cruiser was the first war ship ever
constructed having three Bcrew pro
pellers, and it has the record of cross
ing the Atlantia in a shorter time
than was ever made by a representa
tive of any other navy. If a citizen
of ordinary intelligence were asked to
give a guess as to the number of
engines board this ship he would
probably answer about ten, yet tbe
official list enumerates no less than
. . .
uiueij-Bii uisunoi engines, giving
tbe function of each.
To begin with, each propeller is
driven by a totally distinct aud separ
ate set of condensing triple expans
ion, engines. To make each propeller
wholly independent of the others in
its operation each triplo expansion
driving engine hat its own steam en
gine to circulate water through the
condenser, another to exhaust air
from the condenser, a third to re
verse its valve mechanism, and a
fourth to turn the shaft from time to
time when in port and the steam in
the main set of boilers is not up.
making a total, of five engines for
each propeller, one triple expansion,
three double engines and one single
one. The three propellers have fif
teen engines containing thirty steam
cylinders. V
When the boat is to be driven at
ita lightest spt'ed, oisttaen; blowara
for forced draft are used, each driv
en by a double vertical engine.
Une engine is used for steering,
two for running the dynamos, one
for the workshop, one for circulating
the lubricating oil through the main
engines, one for operating tbe wind
lass to raise the anchor, one for tbe
cooling plant, and two for turning
the winches. ,
For derating the ammunition
from the magazine and loading tho
big guns four engines of special typo
are used. Eight vertical double
enginos serve to raise the ashes
from the furnace room and throw
theui overboard. In case tbe ship
should spring a leak, or should be
pierced below the water line by a
can uon ball, ten engines not previ
ously referred to could at onco bo
sot to work to pump out tho inrush
ing water. Most of these could also
be used to throw streams of
water through ordinary hose pipe in
case a fire should break out.
Eight engines are put to use in driv
ing fans which supply fresh cool air
to various parts of the shin. These
are distinct from those used to opor
ate the blowers for forced draft.
a or supplying water to t iie mam
system of boilers eight enginos are
regularly used, and for the auxiliary
system of boilors there are four more,
Besides these twelve feed-water
engines there are 5 bilge and lire en
gines, which can be used whonevor
desired to force water into the boil
ers.
The total number of steam engines
on board the ship is ninety-hix, and
tbe number of separato cylinders to
be kept in working order is one hun
dred and eighty-four. The number
of men detailed to look after this in
tricate system of engines is one hun
dred and ninty-six. This, of course,
includes coal handlers, oilers, ma
chinists and engineers
Although the new navy contains
several ships larger than the Colum
bia, there are none that have more
steam engines fcr working them.

Should Have Lost All.
A young man in Lehigh county re
ceived $260 from an. insurance com
puny on a policy he held on his
mother. Immediately upon receiv
ing this money-which was a few
days after the burial of his mother
the young man went on a debauch.
He fell into bad bands and was
robbed of $85, when he mado a big
fuss to the authorities and demand
ed thej find the guilty parties. No
one will have ttuy Mympathy for the
follow, os he desorves. Indeed. b
deserves to lose everv emit do r.
ceived from the insurauco policy,
for one who has no more regard for
the memory of his mother than to
celebrate her deutb by a spre is lost
to all sense of honor, and deserves
nothing but condemnation.
Tramps Muit Work.
Tyrone, Pa., bas taken a step in
the right direction by adoptiug a
tramp ordinance. It provides foi
the arrest of vagrants and the turn
ing of them over to the street com
missioner, who is required to put
them to work ou tbe hiahwavM nf
the town, using a ball and chain to
uokt them in position. They are a '
nuisanee to every town tlmv ntr
and it is right that severe means
should be adopted to force them to
steer clear of the town.
It is not difficult to diHi
confirmed hobo from an honest man
who may be in search of work, an.1
it will be tbe duty of the officers to
praotice good judgment in executing
tbe ordinance.
Altoona and Huntingdon h
similar ordinances in foro. Trmn.

wu -ioairetoof. eonotry ndw;:r k'

dleburg and other towns should
adopt measures to rid themselves of
the pesky nuisance. If the plan of
making the tramp work for his bread
as he moves alonar would becom
general tho nuisance would ere long
be abated.
