AN ENGINE THAT HAS GEÒWN. The walking beam engine of an English iron- working establishment speaks eloquently of the thoronghares of the old machine builders. It began work in 1857, with a cylinder of 4 by 8 feet, and a speed of 14 revolations par minute under a steam pressure of 30 pounds per square inch. In 1898, it was componaded, the pressure being increased to 120 pounds. 1910 it was found to be still too valuable a servant to retire, and it was converted into a triple-expansion engine, which now works with steam at a pressure of 200 pounds superheated. to 430deg.

HOW TO LIVE TO 150.
MR. EDISON'S PLAN,
Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, the famous inven. tor, who disbelieves in the immortality of the soul, declares in an interview his conviction that the human body is a machine which, if properly treated, is capable of sustaining life in comfort and enjoyment for 150 years. He stat ad that he himself exports to live to that age. The inventor's confession of his expectations of a long C. Stubbs,

According to Mr. Stubbe the reason Mr. Herriman died ats comparat roy early age was that he worked all day and thought out problems at night."

you stomach and liver troubles to Mother Seigel's Syrup. In a letter dated November 9th, 1910, Mrs Amy Payne, of Upper Cock Street, Detling Hill, Maidstone, Kent, England, states:
"I have suffered from Indigestion, off and on. over since I was thirteen years
old.
I am now just thirty-six. Hather more than a year ago, I was taken with a bad spell of illness, and it lasted about eight mouths, Food of any kind lay like a load in my stomach; and the constipa tion was so severe. that it sometimes went unrelieved for as long na a week. I had pains at my chest and between my shoulders; my tongue was ladly furred; and I was dreadfally weak, every now and again feeling as though I should faint.
But ordinary medicine did me no good, and there was no relief for we until I began to take Mother Beigel's Syrup. Its good effect was apparent when I had taken my third dose. By the time I had taken ton small bottles of the Syrup, I was in better health than I had boon for twenty years, in short, I was thoroughly oured."
Of course Mrs. Payne was cured when Mother Seigel's Syrup restored her digestive orgaus to working order, for it was the derangement of those organs which caused all her suffering.
