WORLD’S BIGGEST MACHINE
With the labor and skill of more
than a thousand men, the actual
work of constructing the world’s
most powerful machine has begun at
the plant of the Brown Boveri Elec
tric Corporation at Camden, N. J.
Their labors will be converted into
energy equivalent to the man power
of 6 million men working eight hours
a day.
The machine is a 60-cycle turbo
generator ordered by the United
Electric Light and Power Company
for installation in Hell Gate station
of the New York Edison Company,
New York City. In all phases of con-
struction, cost, weight of castings,
degree of efficiency and capacity, this
machine represents an enterprise
more than twice as great as any
similar enterprise ever attempted.
A volume of water greater than the
5,000-gallon-an-hour low-water flow
of the Deleware River at Port Jervis
will flow through the generator sys
tem and forty carloads of coal per
day will feed the boilers supplying
steam for the turbine. The generator,
in turn, will develop power sufficient
to illuminate all the streets and three
quarters of the homes of New York
City. The generator will have rated
continous lead capacity of 215,000
horsepower. —Exchange

The public has scarcely awakened
to the significance of the acquisition !
by Duke University at Durham, N. i
Carolina, of the great endowment of- !
fered by James B. Duke. The initial j
donation is $40,000,000, which places
the Southern school at once in the ,
front rank of endowed institutions of 1
learning. But this is not all. Through j
co-ordination of development and in- !
vestment programs in the endow
ment’s stipulations, the fund will have !
reached $80,000,000 by the time the |
full construction program of the Uni
versity has been completed. The work t
now under way is costing $300,000 a |
month. The grounds of the institu
tion total 5,100 acres.

“How much you gif?” inquired
Beck.
“T’ree t’ousand six ’undred dollars,”
replied Isaac.
So Beck took the offer. (I know,!
but we’ve got to conserve space.)
North—That girl is a daughter of
the revolution.
Hall—Why, she just came to this
country.
North—You see, her father owns a
merry-go-round.
Between Two Fires.
In No—They say that a single fish
will lay from one to eight million
eggs a year.
Sense—And I suppose the married
ones will lay twice as many.
“I never thought that anyone could
stoop so low,” mourned the cow to the
enterprising milkmaid.
“I could not marry Gertrude be
cause of her past.”
“And what is wrong with her
past?”
“It is entirely too long!”
Good Hardware: Mrs. Jones—
What’s the matter, Mrs. Leary?
Mrs. Leary—Why, my son, Tom
my, has swallowed a cartridge and
I can’t wallop him for fear it will
go off.
Ouch!
Cincinnati Enquirer: “I am afraid
you are like a rundown business,”
said the discouraged beauty specialist
to the woman who had come in for
treatments.
“I don’t think I understand you,”
said the woman.
“Well, the only thing that would
do you any good would be to have a
new head,” she retorted.
One type of wife expects things of
her husband. Another type expects
things.
The apple that
rocked the earth
‘T wonder why?”
In Isaac Newton’s mind that question clam
ored for an answer. Many men had seen apples
fall, but this man with the question mark mind
found out why they fall—and his answer has
helped us to understand the workings of a
universe. 1 i -
Would that we ail’could get a bite o| thf|
apple if it would inspire us too with the ‘T ?
wonder why” attitude! ^
Intellectual curiosity is a great and moving
force. It mobilizes reluctant facts. It is the
stem drill-master which whips into shape that
most invincible of armies—sure knowledge.
Curiosity, with the will to sweat out the
answer, is the greatest asset you can acquire in
your college course. This attribute is needed
by industry today more than ever before.
