He went hack to Germany, how ever, and started a department #tore In tute of the largest cities. There he practiced so well what lie had seen and heard at Marshall Field's that he became one of the grout merchants of Germany. 1 met Horr Grossenhclmer again lu this time lu New York city, j He had taken on smoothness, as well as tlesh and had lost some of Ills iNmrtler love' and admiration ?or the TTlittod States; oV rather It had be come piM't and parcel of the toler ance, yea, passion, that he now ih?s Messed for humanity as a whole. In short. Herr (Irossenhelmer saw so much good lu all nationalities and In their various forms of government that he was a cosigp|K>llte, more so, more at tractively so, than any other man I ever had met. Nor In fact have I since seen one who has couie as near to being a citizen of the world as did Herr Grossenhelmer in 100$. We met again Iti ll>lt~""our"'third, ami last, meeting occurred that snm mer In Berlin. 1 was glad to s??c him, and tftlll glad that I knew this now hurley and somewhat huniptious busi ness man. lie had prosiiered to a remarkable degree. He had made of Ills department stow a marvel of at tractiveness. which was crowded con tinually with a hyying public. During those summer weeks I gathered from him a vast deal of information con cerning Rnrojtortn merchandising meth od and results. But, beyond that, it was a trial to visit with Herr Grossenhejmor. lie was no longer a lover of democratic institutions or forms of government, no longer an admirer of the uood in all humanity and of the various reg ulations and laws (hat each nation has seen fit to adopt for itself. Herr Grossoiihelmer was now the invet erate hater of anything or.everything not German?or really, not Prussian. Many a conversation that began with business , (irossenhelmer before long sung into an attack on England and "Ainerika"?esjiecially United States, he believed firmly that In South Amer ica would be tile "New Germany." Possibly Herr Grossenheimer's world philosophy can be*t be summed up in the last conversation?we had the one at the 'close of which our friend ship was broken off. We were walking along the shady pavement of Uterden Linden that af ternoon Mini Grosseuheimer was par ticularly offensive. He had been de nouncing England as a "menace to every solid and resj?ectabli* form of government." when he suddenly veered and made n direct attack on the I'nitod States. ?"lint 71 fter :ilt TT m flie I'llited States that is the real world menace to stable government." be exploded with ;t 11 that force of bis L'.'o pounds avordupois.

It has been estimated that to lift 000 pounds one foot in one second requires what is known as one horse power. Similarly a horsejiower Is able to raise twice that weight one foot In twice the time or one-half foot in Just that time. Moreover, It can raise balf oftf) [k mi in Is one f<H>t in balf a second or two feet in a sec ond', and so on. Therefore, If you lift one-quarter of that weight, l."17 1-2 pounds, four feet in one second you are exerting a horsepower. Accordingly, when a person who weighs 1M7 i-2 pounds runs upstairs at the rate of four feet a second he is exerting the equivalent of a horse power. For a man weighing twice that much, 27f> pounds, it 'would he necessary to climb at tlie rate of only two feet a second to exert a horsoiHJwer. It is possible to do much more. As a matter of fact, a horse often exerts many time* a horsepower. The average horse can draw a wag on up a hill where a ten horsepower engine with the same load would fail,. A liorsc|K?wer does not represent the grout oat momentary strength of the average horse, but is a measure of the power which he can exert con tinuously.
