Comparison of Capaoity of Man, Horaa,

My acientific friend and I were
regarding with admiration one of
the great engines and generators in
the metropolitan power station.
“How many horsepower?” I
asked, voicing the question that
comes naturally to erery one at
sight of an engine.
“I should say 5,000," he replied,
“but we can get a better idea of it
from ths capacity of the generator.

and is measured in terms of a unit
callsd a. Watt, oiTnore generally in
terms of a unit a thousand fifties
larger, or the YikiWtt. /fha'cap^c-
ity 'of the machlfie^is 3,600,000
watts, then, or 3,000 kilowatts. Or,
as the kilowatt is one and one-third
times as l<*rge'aa the horsepower,
tins would make some 4,800 horse
power. Since the engine that drives
it is generally a little larger than
absolutely necessary, its horsepower
in this case will probably run be
tween 5,000 nnd 6,000.”
“What is a horsepower, anyway ?”
I asked. “I have used the term
often enough, but have never
known just what it meant.”
“This unit of power,” he oblig
ingly went on to explain, “is, as its
name indicates, about the power
that can be steadily furnished by n
good sized horse. More exactly, it is
defined as a rate of doing work
equal to 33,000 foot pounds a min
ute or 550 a second. A foot pound
la the work done in lifting a pound
one foot high, so n horsepower en
gine could, for example, lift one
pound 550 feet high in one second,
or fifty-five pounds ten feet high.”
“What would be the power of a
mnn, then ?” I asked.
“It is difficult to say. For steady
work it might not average much
more than a tenth of a horsepower,
but, strange as it may seem, for
short spurts a man can do more
than a horsepower. Thus, a 150
pound man can run upstairs for a
few seconds at a rate of four feet
vertically a second, or even more,
and this would mean 600 foot
E ounds a second, or well over a
orsepower. If he was able at the
same time to moke use of his arms
he could probably increase this by
half.
“But this must not be interpret
ed,” he went on to say, “os mean
ing that a man is as strong as a
horse, for, just ns a mnn can cx-
oeed his normal power for short
spurts, so n horse could generate
several horsepower for a few min
utes at a time. So it is probable
that an excited runaway team is
nearly if not quite the equal in pow
er to a fair sized automobile with
its twenty odd rated horsepower.”

TORTURED TO DEATH.
H.rrlbl. Pat. of Damians, Wha'Triad
to Kill Louis XV.
As an example of the administra
tion of justice in the reign oi! Louis
XV. history records the trial and
death of Iiobert Damiens.
Damiens was easily excited polit
ically. Ho became a most danger
ous fanatic, seeing in many existing
evils a menace to the people. He
watched the corruption and extrav
agance of Louis’ court till a crazy
idea developed in his mind that he
must strike a blow for the good ni
JrjncOj
In the January of 1757 Louis was
spending most of his time 1 at the
palace of the Little Trianon, in the
great park of Versailles. The royal
family was at the palaee at Ver
sailles, and, hearing that his daugh
ter, Mme. Adelaide, had a. v/rere
cold, Louis paid her a visit?* V aft
ernogs,— j .
sr A private stairway led from the
loyal apartments to the court,
where his carriage awaited him;
two torch bearers stood on either
side the coach door. Just as the
king reached this door a man in a
long coat and a large wig grabbed
his should*' xnd stabbed him.
The attendants threw themselves
on Damiens, but the man made no
effort to eseapo. The weapon he
had used was a two bladca clasp
knife, and the winter clothing of
the king was so thick that tho
wound was little more than suffi
cient to draw blood.
Damiens was stripped of all his
clothes and at once forced to drink
an anti-poison for fear he might
have planned to escape the penalty
of the law. Then came torture to
make him confess his reason for at
tempting this crime.
Assured that the king would livo,
attention was given , to the matter
of punishment for Damiens. He
was brought to trial, and his sen
tence was that ho should be torn in
quarters by horses on the Place de
la Greve, upon which the great city
hall of Paris faces.
At 3 o’clock, Harch 28, Damiens
was taken from the prison in the
death cart, in which were two
priests and the executioner. Arriv
ing at the place of execution, Da
miens was kept an hour waiting and
during this time calmly watched the
preparations for his death. An in-
closnro had been mad* -by solid
planks, giving room enough for the
horses to do their deadly work. All
about the square the windows and
roofs were crowded with spectators.
When all was resdy Damiens was
placed on a strong wooden table in
the inclosure, this table being three
feet high. Then his right hand was
burned with redhot irons; next red
hot pincers made wounds all ovor
his body, and into these were pour
ed boiling lead and oil.
A horse was then fastened to
each ankle and each wrist, and the
animals were lashed to pull in all
directions. It took an hour and a
quarter for him to die. His body
was then burned on a funeral pile.
The next act was to tear down his
house. His father, hie wife and
his daughter were banished from
France, am! a royal order was given
to hiB brothers and sisters to change
their name.
