LOOK OUT FOR METEoRs -AstrOno> mers predict bright meteoric showers on the 18th, 18th and 20th inst, The best time to observe the phenomena will be between midnight and morn> ing. In the east, after o'clock in the evening, the planet Jupiter and Sat urn will be conspicuous. Jupiter can not fail to be recognized, for it is by far the most brilliant object in the sky except the moon. To the right Of it and higher up from the horizon, Sat urn will be seen fainter than Jupiter. Mars rises late, and towards down Ven- us comes up very brilliantly above the horizon.

TEE CITY DEMOCRACY.

1t certainly is time that the Democratlc
party in this city and State should DE

Presidential election is not to be wholly
abandoned. 1t is not necessary, IN order
to appreciate the Importance OF present
and future union, to recapitulate thehistory
of past divisions. It is enough TO say that
the State was lost in 1879 and again IN
1880. when the fate of the national ticket
depended on its vote, by the dissenslons IN
this city It was saved IN 1876, and Ill
den and Hendricks were elected, only by
the most consummate leadership

The comparatively recent introduction
of steel plates in the construction OF DOH
ers and ships has directed the general at
tention of shipping and industrial com
munities to the whole subject. There was
a strong prejudice against the use of steel
for these purposes, the common opinion
being that it is too brittle, and consequent
lv untrustworthy as material for use in
cases where premonitory indication OF
failure under pressure would be OF the
first importance Prevailing doubts upon
this point, however, will be considerably
modified by the severe tests which pro
duct called mild steel, manufactured ID
Scotland, has been su omitted under the
supervision of the Engineer Surveyor-lr
Chief to the Board of Trade.
From the experiments made, it is ON
cially reported to have been found that
taking the contraction of area at fracture
as a certain guide to the ductility OF tn
metal the results given exceed anything
yielded by ordinary boiler or ship plates
The ultimate stress in the steel plates i
nearly equal lengthwise or crosswise' wher
| as in iron it is desirable to apply the primo
| ipal strains lengthwise.

A correspondent sends to the Boston
Herald the derivation of the word "stal-
wart.'' In old German he makes it staal-.
woerth: modern German, stahlwerth, CIV
ing the verbal translation of 'ssteelworth
This he defines as meaning in old German
staalfest. or strong as steel, while the mod
ern German stahlwert may be taken to
mean as valuable as the finest and hardest
steel against common iron. Therefore,
the proper meaning is made out to be 'sas
true as steel" or true to the chosen
color"

than sufficient to convict Dorsey, Brady,
