SUPERIORITY OF AMERICAN
MANUFACTURES.

English Manufactured viii have to look
sharply after their laureIs. Mr.. W. w. Evans,
civil engineer, has a letter from the State
Department at Washington to his friend Mr.
Allan Campbell, of New York city, Commits
sioner of Public Works, concerning
scales e~zhisited at TIE Fair at Sydney, Aus
%tralia. The followlng is ths report of tho
English Commissioner, Mr.. Augustus Morris,
chief of the jury on weighing machines, in
letter addressed TO the State Department:
4" The Fairbanks Scales have been placed
highest ia order of merit over all English
American and foreign competitors, by 9
group of judges especially qualified for giving
a right decision" Such a report as this,
from a jury composed chiefly of Enelishmep.
and v'ilten by an Englisnman, 10 the high
est compliment which could be paid to the
st. Johnsbury scale manufacturers.
, 1881-09-07

q OrleI peflOu a cnange appears to
have come over the view taken in
London-the warnings were believ-
ed, the trap was set at Liverpool,
and the machines were captured, if
not their n and intended users.
OF n trait in the Irish character
long observation has certainly CON
WINGED the world. No party ofIrish-
men seem ever to be able to hatch a
conspiracy without having an inter
nal quarrel which leads somebody of
the party, from pique or jealousy, to
inform against the others. Such
seems to be the case in all forms of
Irish treason, whether c~oncocted in
England or in the United States,
such is evidently the case in the bust
ness of sending Internal machines
from this country to blow up English
public buildings, ships, or statesmen,
The manipulation of the Fenian
Skirmishing Fund" has been the
source of as much annoyance to the
individual Fenians themselves as it
has been to England, and has pro-
duced nc end of internal quarrelling.
The original Fenian trustees Of this
fund, of which DR.. William Carroll,
of Philadelphia, is one, spent from
$4,000 to $4,000 Of the fund on
the construction of a torpedo boat at
Delamater's works in New York,
after the plans of a new inventor.
The builders went on with the work
as long as the money lasted and their
bills were paid weekly, and for this
compIaisance in q most dangerous
and doubtful transaction they are
now being soundly criticized, since
it has come out that the boat was in
reality being built for the Fenians.
Some n who knew all about it was
kind enough to inform Her Meiestv's
Consul General at New York of what
was going on early in the game, and
his watchmen kept as careful an eve
on the work as any one else. The
boat was thus practically built under
British inspection, and was a com
plete failure as a torpedo boat,
though she vas used to good effect
as a boomerang upon the Fenians
themselves. Those of the Brother
hood who disapproved the enterprise
kept demanding an account of the
trustees, and none being forthcoming.
they set up the "Society Of United
1rishmen." There is still ar cutlery
for this account, and the trustees say
the entire "Skirmishing Fund" Of
$4,000 or SEC, 900 has been eApend-
ed upon this .foSco-a statement
which their opponents deny, charging
that at least half the fund was squan-
dered by the trustees in a way they
are afraid to account for. The
others, under O'Donovan Rossa's
apparent leadership, though this
blatant conspirator is in reality mere
ly the tool of even worse men in the
background, having started a "fund"
of their own for the purpose of giving
a.."stab at England" went into the
dynamite business. Contributions as
small as a fve-cent piece are receiv-
ed, and this fund is not squandered,
but is evidently spent in the way that
will produce the most effective re-
suits. Yet here again M in the

mite concealed III a piece OF coal,
which [ described several weeks ago
in a letter TO The Times, one of
which contrivances is said to have
been employed in blowing up the
Doterel; and a form of marine torpe-
do, made much like the Liverpool
Internal machine. Some of these
were undoubtedly got into England
and used there, as events have
shown. The headquarters Of this
plan of operations were at New
York, and the preparations went On
there for a good while before the fact
was believed in London, though re-
peated warnings were sent, and
O'Donovan Rosa certainly wrote
strong enough hints OF what was going
on in his newspaper, the United Irish
Some Of the machines were snug
gled over, and the earlier ones we're
got into England without any trouble,
for no adequate watch seems to have
been kept. In fact, there was a gen
eral unbeliet on both sides Of the
ocean, for both nations were 10th to
think that some Of the Irish were
resorling TO such a despjcable crime,
But the change came Two months
ago the English opened their eyes
to what was going on-tho deslruc-
ton of the Doterel, with the Fonian
claim that their missiles did # and
repeated attacks upon British public
buildings convincing them that the
plot really existed. But the Amer
cans still doubted. They had regard
ed tho Fenians rs bra@gArts and fools
and had learnt to disregard them;
while a strong sympathy with Irish
voc probably encouraged disbelief
in the reports. An assassin shot the
President, and the mbeIief vanished.
Secret oesas1in"tion for political pur-
poses, however it might exist in other
lands, we fondly believed could never
be planted on American soil.
Guiteau's pistol changed all that, and
then we believed. The Irish spies
told Of the infamy of somo of their
country men in America, and the
public regarded it with horror. When
the discovery was made at Liverpool
the American people were ripe for
the condemnation of a crime which
had almost killed their President.
The cable brought the news, and
there went up a shout of dcnuncia-
ton. 1t came with surprising unani-
nifty from the Press Of all shades of
political opinion, and it was echoed
in no doubtful language by the en-
tire public. 1t seemed strange; when
this public denunciation OF a crime
that all then believed was really
being committed asserted itself 50
strongly, to find the cable bringing
hints from Liverpool that the affair
was a rusc ~concocted either by the
British Government officials to create
a sensation at home, or by Irish spies
as a means of drawing unearned pay
in America. The people who closely
watched the events here knew very
much better. They believed thai this
nefarious traffic had beengoing on for
a good while, and that here was prac-
teal evidence of it.
The American Government acted
with promptnesS. There was no

Preserving Shingles.

The large number of buildings. the
roofs of which the farmer is compelled
to keep tight, makes it question of
importance as to how he can best pre-
serve the single. and do it at q cost
that will make It advisable.
The split and shaved shingle of hum
dred years ago. that came from the old
growth of pine, was quite a different
article from the sawed pine single from
the sapling pines Of to-day. While the
former would keep roof tight thirty or
forty years, the latter will keep one
tight not much more than one-quarter
Of that period.
Various methods have been devised
to make the shingle of the present day
more lasting. Dipping them in hot lime
water, or coal tar, is practiced by some.
and is found to be very beneficial; but
it is very disagreeable work to lay them,
and carpenters are not inclined to en-
courage the practice. Some lime the
roofs after the shingles have been laid
q year or two. No doubt this is very
beneficial to that portion of the single
that it touches. 1t is now the practice
Of some to paint the roofs. as well as
the other portions Of the buildings. A
great variety of paints are used. While
some use white lead and linseed oil,
others use various kinds Of mineral
paints with cheap fish oil Some Of
these are good, while others are almost
worthless.
About thirteen years ago there was
paint made OF ground slate. mixed with
coal tar. and probably some other SUBJ
stance. which. when properly put on,
proved to be not only fire proof, but a
great preserver Of the shingles. keep
ing them without any perceptible
change for more than ten years; but
this soon went out Of style, if not out Of
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1881-12-22

through the pistol-barrel. split his
single rifle ball upon the razor's edge,
and broke both glass ball on the right

performed by the ooy's sense Of lOca-
ton. Then loaded pistol was placed
diagonally from where Otto stood.
Three balls were yet swinging in con-
trary directions. Otto fired. hit the
trigger of the pistol and broke the three
balls. Eight metal balls were then
screwed on the ten-fOot frame. On the
sides below and above balls were set
swinging in every direction. MELON

tired over his head, and at each side OF
him, and between his knees, breaking
the balls from any and every part where
they were suspended behind Melon

went through the same performance.

perpendicular pole; then. while in the
various postures of vaulting and tum-
bling, Otto extinguished each respect

were thrown up in the air in every con-
ceivable direction. these Otto broke

use. probably because n was 50 much
trouble to put it ON properly that the
work was improperly done. To do the
work well, II was necessary to apply
this preparation so hot that it would
penetrate the shingles. and make sur
face as hard as slate stone. Probably
the time will come when shingles will
be dipped in some material that will
not be disagreeable to the carpenters,
and yet preserve them from decay.
When this can be done at the mill
where the shingles are sawed. and they
