Monster Steam BoUtoc
The largest steam boiler in the world
Is being put in in Pittsburgh, Pa., by
a heating company. There are six
miles of four-inch steel tubing in the
heating and condensing apparatus,
with a heating surface of about three
fourths of an qcre. The boiler is
rated at 3,000 horse-power by the or
dinary system of rating, but is capable
of operating continuously at three- ,
times this capacity and for short
periods at four times this rate. When
at full load it evaporates 200 tons of
water an hour.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT
OLD NEPTUNE’S BED
Scientists Have Arranged to
Make Discoveries .
The dlacovery of a plateau only 150
feet below the surface of the water of
the Atlantic ocean was recently an
nounced.
This is only one of many discoveries,
made In the last few years, which show
that obr knowledge of the ocean bed is
remarkably poor. In many books pub
lished a quarter of a century ago it
was emphatically stated that the ocean j
floor is flat, sloping gently here and
there, but never broken into ranges
like the dry land.
Then, in 1901, the cable ship Britan
nia discovered a mountain range in the
South Pacific which was in every way
like a range on the dry land. More
recently a range of mountains, known
as the Edward VII range, was discov
ered in the North Atlantic, its highest
peaks only a hundred fathoms below
the surface. In the Atlantic, too. is
Mount Laura Ethel, whose summit
towers near the surface.
Several small islands are only the
peaks of a mountain range which have
broken the surface. The Bermudas rise
straight up from a depth of two and
a half miles, while St. Helena and As
cension island are also mountain peaks.
Off the Kuril islands the bottom drops
sheer to a depth of five miles, while
only a mile or two from the coast of
Porto Rico the depth is 27.366 feet.
It is curious that although the bot
tom of the sea has not changed for a
million years, man still knows 'little
about it. Many expeditions are now
setting out with the object of salvag
ing some of the $1,500,000,000 .worth of
gold which is hidden in the depths, and
these expeditions will, no doubt, make
many discoveries concerning undersea
scenery.
Diving apparatus invented during the
last few months enables man to des
cend to depths undreamt of ten years
ago; but the terrific pressure at great
depths is still a great obstacle. Quite
as important is the invention of a mer
cury vapor lamp, which enables films
to be taken at great depths. Experi
ments on a lamp that will illuminate
a large area at a great depth are also
being made. By means of this the diver
will be able to see the hillsides cov
ered with olive-green seaweed, which a
passing eddy turns into a wind-swept
pine forest, mountains towering to the
surface, volcanoes, plains, and many
‘other features which are associated
with the grandest land scenery.
Make Money From Pest
The extent to which rabbits and
hares are a pest to the farmers and
stock raisers of New South Wales,
Australia, is shown to some extent by
the numbers slaughtered each year,
notwithstanding which these little
animals do immeasurable damage.
The flesh of these animals forms a
common article of diet both in the
cities and towns and in the country,
especially in the winter, when large
numbers of men are engaged in their
capture and treatment. The year
1919-20 was the record year for the
export trade, the total value of ex
ports being $15,650,000. During that
year 6,950,G36 pairs of rabbits and
hares valued at $2,600,000 and 9,927,-
240 pounds of skins valued at $13,-
140,000 were exported. It Is estimated
that the skins and carcasses exported
during that year, added to the num
bers killed for local consumption,
totaled at least 100.000,000.
\ A Woman*s Way
An unusual weapon with which to
fight a burglar was used by Mrs. Clara
Rernick, of Lodi, when she was awak
ened by a noise early one morning.
Mrs. Remlck, fully satisfied that there
was someone in the lipuso, jumped
from her bed and, grabbing a feather
pillow, dashed into her kitchen and
chased a burglar from the room. She
made a swing with thq. pillow and
struck the fleeing burglar over the
head as he darted out of the door and
down the back stairs. Then, woman
like, she removed the pillow case and
put it in the weekly wash before re
turning to her bed. She was so
aervous over her encounter that she
forgot to telephone for an officer. —

Pigs That Speak French
Some time ago a French girl visited
some farmers ia Illinois. She heard
two boys quarreling.
When asked the cause of the misun
derstanding the older boy said: “Well,
you see, mademoiselle, that’s about
old man Tyson’s pigs. I was telling
Bud those pigs are French, and he
said they are not.”
The foreigner, rather puzzled, in
quired, “What makes you think Mr.
Tyson’s pigs are French?”
“Well,” answered the boy. “because
from morning till evening those pigs
grunt oui-oui.”
Brazil Advertising
Business interests in Brazil, one of
the large coffee producing countries,
have turned to advertising as a means
of coping with the so-called coffee
boycott started by some South Ameri- j
can coffee drinkers. In the course of ,
a few months they spent a million dol- j
lars in counteracting the effect of the
boycott.

THB CHATHAM RECORD
Has Complete History
of Spanish Mantilla
| At last I have found the trail, Fran
cis Mil taun exclaims, in exultant
mood, in the Cleveland Plain Deale.*.
i Some years ago browsing in the ar
! chives of Palma in the Island of Ma
jorca I came across a document which
professed to give the history of the
1 Spanish mantilla. Lately it turned up
| again among a mass of notes. The
i Spanish mantilla was originally a
mark of shame for the femininity of
loose morals of the day, a day away __
• fc ack before Goya and the Spanish
I painters took it out of its class and
I made it an appurtenance of the dress
of the ladies cf the court.
Originally the mantilla crosse'd its
rather straggly ends of the time down
over the breast in the form~of a letter
A. These bretelles were red. One
wonders if Hawthorne ever knew this.
There’s the plot ready made. One
and another of most modern and an
cient writers went and took what they
wanted where they found it, a proce
dure which is ethically legitimate up
to a certain point.
It should be remembered that the
mantilla of today resembles very lit
tle that of the fairy like Island of Ma
jorca, where the sun ever shines and
the thermometer never falls very low.
By a process of development it came
to be what it is, but It.was always a
headdress. I put it that way, not be
ing a fashion writer, hut I vouch for
the rest of the statement as supported
by documentary evidence and only re
count it here by the possibility of be
ing able to drag in Hawthorne. That
happens to be vivid in my mind be
cause in my youth I once lived across
the street from the House of Seven
Gables. I-low the circles do cut in on
one another, like those of the plane
tary system!
Herring Is Bread
What is to become of the people
who live on the islands of the Zuyder
-.ce in Holland when' that sea be
comes dry land? Pierre Van Paassen
asks, in the Atlanta Constitution. As
far hack as human memory goes these
people have been fishers. The sea is
in their blood. “Herring is bread,” as
they say themselves. From their very
youth their whole life is directed to
ward the sea. “Only Idiots and fools
-toy on dry land,” a wrinkled old
skipper told us once. The little
gamins in their ’.vide trousers can
hardly walk when they fashion a ship
out of an old wooden shoe, fix it up
with rudder and sail and float it on
the ditch. When they come from
school they first must see the harbor.
Is there a trawler running in or a tug
boat they shout: “Did you see fa
ther?” and “How much of a catch did
he have?” * Fish and the Calvinist
sermons of the pastor are their life
and breath. The Dutch government,
it is said, will compensate them. Nev
theless it all means the end of a pic
turesque race. And it will be just as
hard tc make landlubbers out of these
children of the sea as it is for Russia
to make Jewish merchants into farm
ers in Crimea.
- College for Engineers
To supply trained engineers, espe
cially for the automobile, motorcycle
and bicycle industries, a technical col
lege will be established at Wolver
hampton, England. The total cost of
construction will be about $600,000, of
which one-third is to be paid by the
county of Stafford and the remaining
two-thirds by the city of Wolverhamp
ton.
The buildings will be divided into
five sections: (1) general and admin
istrative, (2) biology, (3) commercial,
(4) domestic, and (5) technical, com
prising engineering production with
workshops and drawing offices, mate
rial section, including chemistry, met
allurgy, and general science subjects,
mechanical and electrical Engineering,
and building construction.
It is intended to make provision for
evening as well as day students.
Bromine From Sea Water
The strangest ship that ever sailed
the seas left Wilmington, Del., recent
ly on one of the strangest voyages that
ever a ship, sailed. This ship, called
the Ethyl, Is in reality a great float
ing chemical laboratory, equipped to
extract the element bromine from sea
water.
Bromine is a raw material useful in
medicine, in photography and motion
pictures, and in the manufacture of
the ethyl fluid used in motor fuel.
Through the last use of the world’s
supply the chemical has become great
ly depleted, and the voyage of the
Ethyl is the first step In an elaborate
plan to find other sources of supply.

Few Windjammer* LeH
The windjammer haa just *tart
given up the ghost, at least ae far m
the British flag is concerned. The eld
full-rigged vessel that once carried the
brunt of the sea cargo is too slow
nowadays and it doesn’t pay.
The thousands of these British ships
that sailed the seven seas now num
ber six. All have served 30 or more
years, and, with one exception are
three-masted vessels.
Finland seems destined to become
the world’s last owner of ships of this
type, as most of the British sailing
vessels sold within recent years have
been bought by Finnish interests, i
Grain from Australia, literate from
South America and salt outward from
Liverpool are about the only cargoes
now offered for sailing ships.—De

Record in Thinness
Some of the thinnest films on water
ever subjected to scientific measure
ment were recently described before
the National Academy of Sciences by
Prof. W. D. Harkins and J. W. Mor
gan, or the University of Chicago.
They are composed of only one layer
of the molecules or building bricks of.
material substances, and some of them
are so very thin that ordinary X-rays
could not do their vibratory dance
within the thickness if such a location
were selected for their performance.
Numerically, the thickness of some of
the films was found to be twenty-four
billionths or an inch. Professor Har
kins explained that such thin films can
be easily formed by simply spread
ing the proper kind of organic sub
stance upon water.
