of butchers. Hunks of steak is fast- ened to hooks which hang down on a moving chain. The chain passes by cogs through tin- steak furnace. The movement of thf chain Is automat- ically timed to the heat of the firea. When the fires is very hot the chain moves fast, when not so hot the steaks moves slow. When the steaks, dangling to the hooks, come out from the furnace they is nicely barbecued and the chains pass out, carrying the steaks over the heads but within the reach of the lads seated at the tables. The boys pick 'em off as they come by and the empty .hooks return to the butcher department for a new load.

Bomb* on Eggs"Eggs is generally scrambled. Thou-

sands of dozens of nourishing hen fruit arrives in overhead baskets at 5:47 each morning. These baskets is made special out of wire. The mesh Is too small for an egg to fall through. To crush the eggs In the basket a novel arrangement is made. Aviators pass overhead and drop bombs into the baskets, crushing the egKS, and the whites and yolks drops out of the baskets into the scrambling pans, wjiere Mexican girls is em- ployed with long forks to pick out the small pieces of shell that come down with tlie food portion's. Rotary forks, operated by machinery, moves about in the pans at 3,000 revolutions per minute, scrambling the eggs. When panful is ready for the boys, iron plates revolving; downward on a ma chine which closely resembles a sewer digging contraption scoop up the eggs. The plates is then carried upward to a height of several hundred feet, where they is automatically released on greased Rkidways leading to the tables. They slide down by gravity to the tables.

Cream Is Sweat"The coffee system in unique and

extensive. Boiled in huge vats, the coffee :s piped to the eaters. Before reaching: the tables the coffee pipes are joined by cream pipes which run from the dairy. The cows Is fed on sugar cane, so the cream is sweetened by nature and they is no need sugar bowls.' The coffee pipes run along the center of the tables and is tapped by spigots three feet apart. The boys do the rest.

"Sure was some eating house, Old Timer," I said.

"Yes, but it didn't last long. The men eats too much. The last day of ts operation comes when the chief

cook turns off the button when each man has ate only two bowls of oat- meal, one plate of eggs, two steaks and a quart of coffee apiece. And them boys is so sore they rises up from their seats and leaves the tables

"THE MYSTERY"

Last night I had a dream so drearI awoke with a sudden start.

And saw the Peteraon-Barker wellAs the derrick drifted apart

To let the casing go into the clouds, With a blast and a terrible roar.

The rail birds came drifting by hun- dreds

To the spots they had all used be- fore.

When they thought the well wasduster;

Now their shrieks seemed to reachto the skies.

While the black liquid gold shot intothe air.

'Twos a heck of a dream when opened my eyes. ACKLEY.
