THE discovery OF improved processes for
the conversion Of iron into steel have
revolutionizcd the iron trade, The United
States Consul at Newcastle transmits re.
port on iron and steel production in the
north OF England which show tho great
changes effected in five years. He says:
"The iron railtrade has fallen from 1924, 900
tons in 1873 to 81 900 tons in 1873. The
plate trade has increased from 10000
tons in 1873 to 2S3,9OO tons in 1878. Steel
has superseded iron for the manufacture
Of trails, and it steadily supplanting the
old iron ships plates. Ships can now be
built ct steel plates for Gls,OOO; Of iron
plates for Gl7,OOO. The steel ships would
weigh about seyenty-two tons less than
the iron. The gross tonnage Of England
is said to be 1900 iron, $1,000 wood and
4,47O steel. A great struggle is now going
on between iron and steel in what is called
the Cleveland district. The Consul
quotes from valuable report made few
months ago by William Johns, assistant
Surveyor, Lloyd's Register Of Shipping"

case containing my crotalus. The first skin he
cast OIL, In July, was entire and without blenl-
lsh. At the second change, however, about the
last of September, removed the cup one night
intending to replace it shortly afterwards but
forgot to do So The next morning found por-
lions of loose skin all over the floor of the case
and much more hanging in shreds from various
part OF the body of the snake. Other parts
seemed not to be detached yet. l had not sup

himself of his torn trousers. Was it due to the
fact that water had been withheld at the last
time? Both changes occurred in the night and

Investment. To test the question OF so-called
blindness occurring during the time when the

sight OF the eye, placed some very active mice
repeatedly in the case during the period of

first victim. On other occasions, however, when
his sight was unobstructed, have seen him
strike at and miss the mark repeatedly After
making few misses he would then strike about
with intensified fury. The snake never ate with
out first striking his victim. He did not eat
more than two mice at meal, and sometimes
an hour lapsed before eating the second one.
He never killed his prey wantonly; on the con-
trary, he permitted mice to keep his company so
long as his appetite was appeased.-I7ne Science

Bismarck,s Neuralgia.

Certain paragraphs that have lately appeared
in the Berlin semi-of1icfal papers convey to us
the information that Prince Bismarck during
his late brief sojourn in the German capital,
was suffering severely from neuralgia. Every
movement he made, more especially those in
volved in the indispensable exercise Of going up
and down stairs, caused him. it is said, great
pain and distress. He is reported to have re-
marked to friend of his family who visited
him on the very morning of his departure for
varZfn that he experienced anguish, unremit-
limb, and that his only hope of relief from his
torments was that he might be left in peace
for as long period as possible In his country
residence. He could not, however, look forward
to obtaining furlOugh for any definite term
nor could he fix any prospective date for his re-
turn to the transaction of state business in
the capital. He seemed to apprehend that his
SO1Ourn In POmerania would be frequently in
terrupted by SummOnSeS to Berlin, whittier it
appears also probable that family affairs Will
call him ere long, as the Countess RantZau Is in
fair way to bestow upon him the honors of
grand-paternity. 1t is also rumored that his
second son, Count Bill who was appointed the
other day to post in the Government of
ElsasS-Lothrtngen, Is about to contract an al
lance with fair young Prussian maiden at
tached to the imperial court. AS Count Bill is a
gCdsOn of the Emperor, his wedding will of
course, take place in Berlin, so that the nup-
tial ceremony may be honored by the presence
OF his 1llustrious sponsor; and the Chancellor
Will be compelled to fOregO the repoSe which
renders his Stay in varin so beneficial to his
health, in order to receive the venerable EN-
peror as wedding guest in the eX-Radziwill
Palace on the Wilhelms- Platz.-[Loiedon Tele-

Curious Suicidal Freaks.

1t was once heartleSSly said of young woman
who committed suicide by drowning, that she
would not have done it If she could have fore
seen how she looked when she was taken out of
the water. 1t was, however, from no reasons of
pride in her personal appearance that the young
and lovely Russian Countess Vera KOscheleff-
who put watery end to her life a few weeks
ago-sewed herself up In a sack on the river
bank before she cast herself into the fatal stream
II the letter which she left addressed to her
uncle Is to be believed, her reason for so sewing
herself up was that she was afraid of waterloo
ties. Women and cynics may sustain her in fear
Ing death less than water-bugs, but other peo-
pie will still find it hard to understand why,
having such fear, she did not choose some
other death than drowning. Even stranger and
more fantastic modes of death than this have
been recently reported from Russia, and, nota-
bly,, two by burning. One was Nihilist, who,
maddened by his punishment, broke an oil-lamp
with his teeth, and died without a groan
to call his guards attention. Another was a
disappointed lover, who, by peculiar arrange
ment of candles, charred his spine, and said he
chose to die so to prove his sanity. Exception
ally rich as are the Russian annals of suicide In
such CHASTITY stories they are not without par
allel In this country where, year or two ago,
a man killed himself with guiilotine Of his own
invention. Is the fear Of death growing less,
that such stories as these are now so frelu ent?

Daring Feats of American Surgery.

American surgeons are justly famed in other
countries than their own for equal fertility OF in
vention and boldness of execution, but it may
well be doubted whether most OF them would not
regard ultimate death by starvation as tnevita-
BILE in the case Of a structure OF the throat so
severe that even liquid food could only be
occasionally taken But DR.; F. Hern, OF Anto-
MO, Texas in the case of a little girl who drank
some I've, which caused such an effect, recon-
mended that permanent opening should be
made into her stomach, through which food
could be introduced AS last resort, AMI
when death seemed near at hand, the
operation was performed, and now, after
some weeks, the little girl is thriving, and d.
gestion of whatever food she fancies is de-
clared perfect. Medical history contains but one
other such caSe-also American-and the study
OF the stomachic processes which 1t made posi-
BILE resulted In discoveries which are now re-
corded in the physiological text books Of every
civilized country in the world. 1t Is notewor-
thy that the not entirely dissimilar operation OF
ovariotomy was performed for the first time in
Danville, KY, Which, in 1909, was even more In
the back woods than Galveston now is. The
editor Of the then most influential medical jour-
nal In England declared reports of that opera
tion to be incredible, and the operation itself to
be impossible, but it has since been repeated
several hundred times, and with success In
about GO per cent Of them all.-[N z. IInaS.

yray, my dear, was quite wrong in my esti-
mate of him. He is a remarkably clever man,
and he means to get me into Parliament"
One year passed. There had been triumph of
the British arms In India and the name of Col de
Nray was associated with it. His name was In
everyDody's mouth. He had received promotion
and other honors, and was returning to England
after the termination of the campaign as Maj.
Gen. Sir George de Vray.
AS for Mile Moyle, she was betrothed to the
new Earl of Beauvray, and when Sir George ar
rived In London one OF the first things he read
in the papers was that the marriage between
this young lady and his cousin was to take place
He no longer cared now. He went to Mr.
MOyle's house on the very day OF his return, in
the afternoon, and was ushered into the dining
was received like hero, for Mr.. MOyIe liked to
be On good terms with successful men, and
Millie was anxious to obtain something like for
giveness for her jilting. She received it fully
and freely, so far as could be judged from the
young generals manner, for he was frank and
pleasant, but after first greetings were over he
addressed himself principally to poor little Ger
tie Brown, who sat radiant and trembling To
her he recOunted his adventures, and Oh what q
brave knight she thought him with his sunburnt
face and the modesty OF true glory that breathed
In all his words! The new Lord Beauvray was
not present
At last, when toast had been drunk to
Georges honor and Miles happiness-hona
MIR Moyle acting as toast-maker-the general
drew parcel from his pocket and extracted
from it Gertie's book-marker; no longer scarlet
now. but faded pink from exposure to the air,
for il had seen many battle entwined with the
soldiers sword knot. There were hanging from
it the Cross of the Bath, a Victoria cross, and
something elsa wedding ring:
viii you take all three, GerCie?" said George,
approaching Miles little cousin.
Bravo Sir George" exclaimed Millie, clap
ping her hands, though she turned little pale,
. l always said that Gertie and you were md
for each other" .
$50 did l." said worthy Mr.. Moyle; but, 1 say,
hullo! what's that?''
There had been loud knock at the door, and
a footman entered with a telegram on a tray.
Mr.. Moyle opened the missive and uttered an
exclamation of horror and dismay. .'Great
heavens, my lord, read this!' he faltered.
The telegram announced that the new Lord
Beauvray had been killed in railway accident.
SO the Indian hero got his title and estates
again. He showed no elatiOn, but seemed on
the contrary much shocked, and he was the
first to lend assistance to Mile when she
swooned in a somewhat forced attack of
Mysteries
Old Moyle had sunk on chair, helpless. His
face was thing to see.

The Modern Diana.

3 Empress Elizabeth has perfect health, the
spirits of n child and the bloom of youth, and it
has come from her constant exercise I'm the
open air and on horseback. Let our weak
nervea women who shun exercise and Gods
pure air as an evil spirit take note. Since the
Queen is at Godolo races and fairs have been
established In the neighborhood, and she is one
OF their most frequent visitors and patrons.
General Grant is not better judge OF horses
fine points than she, and Rosa Bonheur does
not take more pleasure in fine groupings OF
blooded beasts than does the Queen OF the Mag
vars.
Elizabeth is an early riser: five O'Clock sees
her at breakfast, and an hour afterwards, no
matter where she happens to be stopping, she
is in the saddle or walking in the open air. Her
habits OF life are perfectly simple and perfectly
regular. Not woman lives less oStentatiously
than she when away from the cereInoniouS
court. She believes that her open air exercises
have kept her beautiful TO the poor she is a
silent and constant friend, and many are the
noble acts that might be related OF her Majesty
in every quarter where she has been.
Yearly, however, her magnificent steeds,
stud of them, some forty in number, are hur-
ried into the cars and she Is off for the foxes In
Ireland The fox hunt over, she is back to the
quiet of Godoio. In the affairs of state she con-
business and his Ministers, and the whole Hun
garfan people say amen, for they would rather
see their Queen following the hounds than see
her mixed up with the politics of the state.
The pictures one sees of the Empress, striking
as they are, do not do her justice. The best OF
them are not half SO beautiful as she. In APP
peuaaee ElHapttn Is every oooy IDEAL OF q
queen. She is tall and slender, and in every
movement is grace and majesty itself. She has
dark brown hair, and more Of 1t than any wo-
man in her empire. and Austria is famous too
for the beautiful hair of its women. IL is cut
square or banged" across a square forehead
and fringed above pair OF splendid eyes as
dark as itself. When flowing, this wealth of
brown hair reaches nearly to her feet. Her
complexion is fair, her face Slightly oval, and
her figure is perfect in its curves and outlines.
She knows how to dress. and how to wear
jewels, and how to look even handSomer than
she is. But when she will look very, very hand
some, she mounts her fine chestnut mare, lets
her hair to the winds, gives her steed the rein,
and then everybody thinks II there is a Diana
anywhere any more, it is this EmpreSS-thiS
misunderstanding down the Pfater.-IFO,'-
