HAMILTON AND PERKINS TAKE OATH OF OFFICE Newly Appointed Customs Cashier and Special Deputy Enter Upon Their Duties To-Day. Port Collector Stratton announced yes- terday that he had appointed William B. Hamilton, formerly casnfer in the Cus- tom-house, his special deputy in place of Stanley Jackson, the holdover from the former administration, and that the va- cancy in the cashiership created by Mr. Hamilton’s promotion would be filled by Clem G. Perkins, a nephew of United States Senator Perkins. Messrs. Perkins and Hamilton took the oath of office yes- terday and will enter upon the discharge of their duties this morning. The Collector has dismissed from the force of laborers in the Appraiser's de- partment Warner M. Horr, John W. ton, R. A. Harrison and John Heffernan. and has appointed In their -places A. J. Santus, R. A. Brown, O. Whipple and George Cook. The position of laborer is not protected by the civil service system, and appointments are made at the pleas- ure of the Collector. He has also_ap- pointed Fred C. Ingersoll, Charles H. cher, H. H. Geary and ienry Padilla on the emergency i 5 Last Divorces of Century. At noon yesterday the last decree of divorce of the century to be issued out of the local Superior Court was granted Constance Parker fror: Herbert Parker on the ground of desertion. Earlier in the day Carrie O. Berg was granted a divorce from Edward H. on the ground of desertion, and Mary F. Woods was granted a decree from John A. Woods on the ground of failure to provide.

The watch night service at the Central M. E. Church was marked by simplicity tinged with appropriate musical and electrical grandeur. The service opened at 9 o'clock with the rendition of the gloria by the choir, followed by the sac- rament, which was given with the hy- gienic innovation of individual cups. Susie F. Abbott spoke of the origin of Christian Endeavor and Epworth League; R. V. Watt on “The Sunday School,” and Susie A. Ward on “Our Publishing Inter- e!;!t. 10:15 there was a love feast, followed by & sermon on the coming century by Bishop John W. Hamilton, LL.D. The reverend speaker, after mentioning the deep significance held by the coming cen- tury and enfolded in the history of the las® ~me, went on to speak of the changes wrought by religion during the past few ears. “Looking forward into the years to come,” said he, "I see a glorious prospect. War will be abandoned. It has already become an antiquated thing. ' It settles nothing .and never did settle anythink. Since the werld began the classes have been ranged against the masses. The his- ory of the world has been a history of attles. operation of all the world for one man and this man for all the world.” o Toadk DANCED MERRILY INTO NEW CENTURY Guests in Character "Costumes Welcome the New Year at the Jewett Home. One hundred merry-makers assembled by invitation at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jewett last evening, and amid the jolliest surroundings bade farewell to the old year and joyously welcomed the new century in. Mrs. Jewett's invitation called for her guests to come in costume representing some fad or fancy of the old year, or some anticipated fad or fancy of the new ear. This request was followed by all and the result was more than pleasin, The keynote to the entertainment was struck in the decoration of the elegant homeé. The great inventions of the past century, the proj s in art and the ad- vancemént In cf tion were all aptly il- lustrated by means of books, pictures and flowers. The many fads that marked the dying year were not neglected, and they so found representation in apt and ar- tistic fashion. In the dining-room most delightful results were achieved by means of pictorial advertisements. = Scattered about the rooms were phonographs and nickel-in-the-slot machines and other de- vices that were known to part the end of th&r&mu r{nt.ra from {Ill money. : o’clock the guests began to arrive.

The following general rule for reckoning time will serve the purpose of this lesson, The student will remember. however, that this rule is not uniformly adopted by banking institutions. In reckoning the time count from the day of discount to the day of maturity | and include both days. Note the following illustrations: 1. Note dated May 3 at three months; discounted June 5. Find the time for which discount is reckoned. This note will be due August 3. June 5 to August 3=59 days. Counting bath days=60 days. Discount will be reckoned for sixty days. 2. Note dated July 10 at sixty da dis- | counted July 15. Find the time for which discount is reckoned. This note will be due September 8. July 18 to September §=52 days. Counting both days=353 da: Discount will be reckoned days. In the first note the even months are consldered in getting the day of maturity in the second note the exact days are con- sidered. The first reads months; the sec- ond reads days. If days of grace are to be considered add three additional days. Notes are not always discounted upon the day they are made. It Is to the d- vantage of the holder to discount only | when he needs money, and, besides, many of the banks discount only upen certain days of the week. The time considered is always the time from the day of discount to the day of maturity. Exercises for Practice.

The most simple and quickest way to | make a perfect ellipse is the string | method. Tie a string so as to make it endless; use two pins or tacks for centers and place the loop over both centers and use the pencil inside the loop and mark 3 E c A —— * & off. In the accompanying sketch the angle inside represents the loop, and A B | represent the two centers and C the pencil. By moving the two centers you snnl mflnka the ellipse any length or width esired. XXV—HOW TO FIGURE HORSE- POWER. A unit of work is the force or labor required to raise one pound through the space of one foot.| A horsepower is 33,000 units of work performed in one minute. A horse really performs nothing like this amount of work; possibly not more than two-thirds. The indicated horsepower of an engine is the true measure of the work done within t:xdn wl_ll%urm l’nd can be xeeunu.l: lculated. e necessary to \c(?\own in order to make the calculations are: (a) The diameter of the cylinder in inches. (b) The length of the stroke.in feet. (¢c) The average pressure of the steam on t:o piston during the full length of the stroke. (d) The number of revolutions per minute. To calculate the horsepower of an en- gine proceed as follows: 5 Find U rtarit " o0ae on o . Find the ure on the piston by muitiplying the area by the pressure per square inc] h. 3. Find the 'I;;N in feet traveled by the minute by m?uax{::;' the revo- g “the N s daia by the . ultipl fixed. There is no mechanical advantage xained by a single rope over one or more but this combination of the reatest use in enabling us to change lirection of the force. Thus it {s much F10. 3 FIGURE L & re————— L more conven'ent to raise a bucket from a well by drawing downward, as is_the case where the rope passes over a flxed pulley above the head, than by drawing upward, leaning over the curbing. From its portable form, its cheapness and the facility with which it can be ap- plied the pulley is one of the most con- Venient and most useful of mechanical oW P pulley blocks are used very gemerall | especially in building operations, whe g - { . | | ! | | | | | | f :. | | i ’ i | | FIGURE 2 3 - heavy beams, girders or blocks of stone have to be raised. On board ship it is the favorite mechanical power by which rig- ging is raised and cords and ropes are tightened and goods lifted from or low- ered into the hald Where there are two pulleys, one mov- able and one stationary, as in figure 1, the relation between the power and the weigh is as 1 to 2, considering, of course, th the pulley ifself has no weight. A power of five pounds pulling down on the pulley rope will balance a weight of ten pounds This is easily explained by the fact that the - tension on the rope is - uniform throughout and-there are really two ropes holding up the weight, so that a’tension of five pounds on each is equal to a lift- inf power of ten pounds. f this principle is carried to figure 2 the student will notice that there are tkree + | | FIGURE & * | | - ropes holding the weight and that as a consequence a power of five pounds will balance a weight of fifteen pounds. App'y this principle again to figure 3. Which is the commen form of pulley used to lift heavy weights. The student will notice that there is a four-sheave block at the top ard a three-sheave block at the bot- tom, with the end of the rope fixed from the top block. The three-sheave block is movable. A power of five pounds will with this form of pulley balance a weight of_thirty pounds. Note—When estimating the number of connecting ropes, the one being held or drawn by the power is not considered. Problems. 1. A safe weighing 4000 pounds s beinz hoisted to the window of an office build- Ing by a system of pulleys, each block of which has four pulleys. What power will be necessary to hold the safe? —500_pounds.) 2. In a system of triple-block pulleys a weight of 180 pounds rests on the floor; the power is twenty pounds. Find the pressure in pounds of weight on the floor. (Answer—80 pounds.
