A Wonderful Invention.

The discovery at present attracting the
greatest attention in the scientific world
is that of Professor Hardinge, of New
York. He has, after series af expert
ments, extending through several years,
discovered the art of liquifying quartz,
and has established an extensive appara-
tus for the purpose, which is now in sue
cessful operation. If this invention be-
comes, as is expected, practically useful,
there can be no limit to its qualities Of
adaptation, and something little short Of
revolution in mechanical matters must
follow the realization of all the plans Of
the inventor. With the world at large,
we have faith in nothing but practical ev-
idence, and in that only when it has stood
the test of time.
The following from the pen Of Profes-
sor A. G. Fleury, chemist of note, re-
siding in New York city, will explain this
invention, and what is expected of it.
Under date Of Nov. lst, Professor Fleu
ry remarks
al was honored with an invitation to
visit the works Of Professor Hardinge, al
104lh street and Broadway, New York
near his residence at Woodlawn, and sau
him dissolve one ton of quartz at a time
in a single digester, containing about one

MILWAUKEE, Dec, 2, Il

MILWAUKEE, Dec., Z, 1907.
DEAR FRIENDS EDITORS Perhaps n
line from me may be unexpected, so | will
write, for there is real enjoyment for some
in doing things that nobody ever expect
ed them to do. Perhaps the spirit of
Capt. John Brown could testify TO the
truth of this, for he is probably now in
no worse condition than he had lived for
the last few years.
So John Brown is dead. Well, per-
NIT me to say that my convictions are
that that fool of Wise hung slavery TO-
day on one side of John Brown and his
political dogmas on the other-thus Brown
died, as did One before him, between two
thieves. Guns were fired, and bells toll
ed, door knobs draped in black, and the
German Daily Attas came out in full
mourning this morning TO show respect
for Brown and his principles.
Milwaukee is getting to be great city.
Even the hard times have not dampened
their speculative ardor. Read the follow
ing from the Milwaukee Wholesale Re
porter, in regard to Cotton Factories:
"The Chicago Tribune of late date,
has an article in favor of establishing Cot
ton Factories in that city, and argues that
they can be introduced proftably there
for the reason that the power which is
necessary could be obtaiued at cheap
rate. For this purpose it says that Hi
nois coal can now be bought for 50 so
per ton, and Erie for So rs to a. 90.
"Now, how stands the matter as re-
CARDS Milwaukee? Her water power is
ample, and so located that factories can
be strung along for n mile in distance, and
vessels may even run direct to their very
door, or goods may be taken on the La
Crosse Rail Road, at La Crosse on the
Mississippi, and brought directly to the
doors of all the factories that might be
established on the water.power
"As for q market, there need be no APP
prehension on that score. We have an
unbounded western market to supply af-
ter supplying our own home market, and
should that fail in capacity for all our
manufactures, it is an easy matter TO reach
an Eastern market even. over the Detroit
and Milwaukee Railway, in connection
with the splendid steamers now plying
between here and Grand Haven. But
with Minnesota and Northern Iowa, on
one hand, and Northern Illinois on the
other with the rapidly increasing popula-
tion of our own State, there will always
be market for our home manufactures.
Let the trial be made. 1t must succeed"
Beside this scheme, which l presume
is more in the brain of the Editor of the
Reporter than in any capitalists crani-
um, we are getting to be very benevo
lent community. We have organized into
body corporate to make permanent
loans to a certain class Of our very vaua-
BILE citizens who are unable 10 get living

which he buys license to sell strychnine

ty may call for. He invests this as cap
ital and manufactures city paupers. We
have now some seven hundred men en-
gagged in this pauper manufacture, who
work according to license, and three hun
dred work without papers. Some idea
of the profits Of their business can be
had by reckoning fifty per cent on three
millions of dollars, the amount of, their
business per annum. Fifteen hundred
dollars is a pretty good salary to pay an
acknowledged scamp for years service,
when his business is only making city
paupers. On account Of this generous
outlay for the support of these INDECENT
young men we are not able TO pay our
school teachers as we ought. The sala-
ries of our Principals average about
twelve hundred dollars per year, the as
sistants much less, of course. This void
do very well, and we should not feel much
ashamed to have that fact known if we
had the money to pay them promptly /;
but as schools are only Of secondary i'm
portance in commercial and other busi-
ness places, and these aforementioned
manyactorieS have the first claims on us
on account of their business character,
we pay them first and find that when our
teachers come around for their pay we
have only city order, for them-their or
ders they can get cashed at the brokers'
offices, however, at about seventy-five
cents on the dollar.
Our State election has been the topic
of conversation and newspaper wrangles
for the last few weeks, but now, since
Randall has been found to be reelected,
by about four thousand majority, the
question is settled, and we hear but little
said about it. That seems TO be one re-
deeming element in our government
when party gets whipped it just "ac-
nowledges the corn" and tries the harder
the next time.
l presume that will be the case in the
next Presidential campaign, even if Sew
ard and Hamlin should be elected, the
whole Southern Quattlebum Artillery to
the contrary Notwithstanding.

Pattcring through the parlors,
Romping overhead,
Racing in the garden,
Tumbling in the bed;
Laughing in the morning,
At the peep of light;
kissing in the evening,
When they bid "good night"
Tugging at my heart-strings,
Hour, and day, and year.
Cling the little children,
God has sent them here.
Nesting thick around me
When / seek my home,
Anxious for the greeting
Which was sure to come;
Striving first to reach me
Trooping down the stair,
Drowning with their voices,
Throbs of daily care;
Closing all around me,
TO keep the world away,
Lifting up the heavy years,
Pressing day by day;
Tinting with the rainbow
Every falling tear,
Minister the children
God has sent them here.
Barren would this be,
Should these buds of lifo
Wither at my hearth stone,
Leave me in the strife;
Fallen by the wayside
Ere my years are done,
Darkening the sunlight
Childhood's smile has won
Closing mp the fountain,
Shlling laugh and shout;
Piling up the waste sands,
Blotting my garden out
Leaving me so weary,
Nothing more could bring
Living thoughts to winter,
One green leaf to spring.
Beating thus, my heart clings,
Hour, and day, and year,
Closer round the children
God has sent me here.
