rman -lcfngfxgcin IQDQ THE TEKTON Scarci and Griffin-aground in a boat: thc same boat they had while at school! While in Plymouth, I met Wirt, Yelf land, and Santheson, still arguing whether or not to begin at the top or bottom to put in plumbing. In Norwell, Beach told me he was trying to think of a way to lay a pipe line to the rum runners on the coast. On nearing Boston again, I passed Chefalo in a Ford being towed to a garage. It was now late in the evening, but I could not pass the Institute without going-5 in to see if our friend and instructor, Mr. Lawrence, was still working with the boys. There he was, pleasant as ever, and after a short chat with him I decided to journey on toward home. PLUMBERS. -M WIENTWURTH i-- DID YOU KNOW THAT If a circle with a 150fmile radius was drawn about Springfield, Mass., as center, it would include oneffifth of the horse' power used in the United States? In 1880 there were but 23 miles of steam railroads in the United States, now there are over 263,000 miles, enough to go around the world 10 times? The heaviest material in the world is platina, its specific gravity is 2.15 0? The Panama Canal cost more than all other canals in the world combined? The cost was S375,000,000. The volume of the sun is 1,300,000 times that of the earth? The hoactzin, a bird found along the Amazon River, has feet on its wings? A noted engineer says bridge building will be a lost art 100 years from now due to the mounting costs of iron and steel? Four centuries of domestication have so changed the canary bird, that it is now be- ing imported into the native home of the birds, the Canary Islands? N London engineers are planning for doublefdecked streets? The first manual training school in the United States was inaugurated in Georgia in 1803? There were no multiplication tables in ancient Egypt? f ' 'WHNTWUHTII ' SPORTS Ty Cobb, famous as a baseball player and manager, is quoted as saying this: If I had my time over again, I would probf ably be a surgeon instead of a baseball player. I have only one regret: I shall not have done any real good to humanity when I retire. Many will sympathize with Ty Cobb, and yet we cannot help feeling that he undervalues his services to his day and generation. The actor, the musician, the circus performer, the baseball player, each plays an important part in the life of the world. The hours spent at a baseball game, at a concert, at a good vaudeville, at a cirf cus, at a theater, have given to thousands release from the burdens of work and worry, sweeping away cobwebs from weary brains and discouraged hearts, and has made it possible for them to go back to their appointed work with greater hope and increased vigor. The field of whole' some entertainment occupies a useful part in the work of the world. Giving of one's best to please others is the rule of success in the entertainment profession.-Masonic Outlook.
