asked whether there were not in insane asylums

The answer was in the Affirmative.
In the course of an inquiry as to what consli-

A Position He Coveted.

Fred Douglass as he sat in the waiting. room Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad at Jersey City last eve
ming. looked as hale and strong as he did when he
was hustled by Boston mob, and rotten -egged In
Baltimore, thirty years ago. His great mass Of
curling white hair, like bag wig, and his color,
which Is that OF an Indian while his features are
not, make him a marked man anywhere.
81 might have liked" he said "to have con-
tinued United States marshal at Washington, but
do not envy Marshal Henry his thankless and
responsible job all through this terrible Guiteau
business. The trial is dreadful ore for the coun-
try, but II is the only way to nvcnge Gariield's
death, and the jury Will hang him unle's some
body shoots him before they can get him to the

"Why were you not reppointed?"
"Oh, ! was on the wrong side In Republican

Cutting Metal with Hot Air.

Some time since, 1t was announced that
Jacob Reese, of Plttsburg, had succeeded
in cutting iron and steel by simply rcvolv-
ing at high rate Of speed, thin disc of
steel, We arc now in position to give
some additional details of his '.fusing
disc" The disc is forty two inches in
diameter, scant thrcc-sixteenths of an inch
thick, and smooth on its periphery. 1t IS
made of either wrought iron or soft steel,
is nicely balanced and is run at velocity
of 260, 900 feet a minute at Its periphery.
Mr.. Reese holds that it is the impact of the
particles of air hurled with great velocity
against objects hcl1 near the periphery of
the disc that effects the fusion of steel. A
groove is instantly melted III round bar of
steel held before the fusing disc, and the
steel drops down in fused metallic state
When the motion of the disc is stopped, 1t
may be noted thar the disc docs not touch
the bar of steel, there being a space on each
side and IN front of 1t. This Is proven by
the fact that while the disc is only three
siXtcenths of an inch in thickness the
groove in the steel is five-sixtccnths of an
inch On each side and one eighth of an inch
in front of 1t. When the disc is 70 prOpcr
order, 80 that it has no lateral movement,
the ends of the bar melted through arc
smooth. 1t is stated by Mr.. Reese that the
operation of tho fusing disc differs from
the ''cold saw" 80 widely used for rails
etc.. In one important particular. The
dust from the cold saw is thrown away
from the latter as an oxide, while the fus
ing disc mclts tho metal.
