Forging a Ruddor for the Steamer City
of Rarlin.

The rudder of the City of Berlin was
carried away in a recent storm, and
new one was forged nj the works of the
Paterson Iron Company. The superin-
tendent of the works described the job
rs tho largest of the kind ever under
taken here 1.-The shaft is forty feet
long" no said to Sun reporter, "the
blade is twenty-five feet long, and
the shape of the whole is so irregular
that we have to put on CONFERENCE.-The
every time it is handled in order to run
it over under" the hammer 1t will
weigh about nine tons. The blade is
made of sheet iron plates, bolted on
each side of the frame. The frame is
made of iron about eight inches square.
The open space between the two plates
forming tho blade is sometimes filled in
with resin. This. when, melted and
poured in. forms the most durable and
solid filling. Some, however, use plas-
ter of Paris. Others ill in the space
with wood. Finally, others perforate
the plates and let water run in. This is
probably as good rs anything. The
frame gives the rudder the desired
strength. The plates are only to give .
surface. A rudder six feet broad will
steer steamship 400 feet long"
While the reporter was listening, the
building was lighted with the brilliant
glow of q red hot bow of iron about
fifteen feet long and eight inches square,
just taken from the furnace. 1t was in
fact, part of the outer rim of the curv-
ing rudder. In the mean time, cor
responding piece projecting from the
rudder shaft, which had likewise been
heated, was brought from a furnace to
be welded on. The two ends that were
brought together were like two letter
Wees pointing toward each other. thus:
p q Then several men with great
tongs took from the fire two small
pieces also shaped like letter Wees, made
to fit on the space between the two ends
to be welded. These smaller pieces,
were held in place until blow or two
OF the great hammer, giving a 1000
pound stroke, caused the half melted
masses to adhere. Next the whole mass
was twisted and turned, and the blows
rained faster and harder, until in a few
minutes the weld was completed. A
similar operation welded the other end
Of the bow to the post,
"a single false blow" said the super
intendent, Knight spoil the whole thing.
Abit of dirt in 1t might make flaw
that would cost us thousands Of dollars
for damages. 1t takes a good mechan-
ic to boss such job, and we have to
pay him good wages-$l2 day. He is
the most important man in the shop"

How Educated Indians Pan Out.

Some religious journal says that in
order to make Indians good they must
be educated. This has often been tried
and it has invariably proved a failure.
Educate the Indian and you make him
a thief, II whisky hummer and o bad
man generally. The educated" In
dian can frequently be seen in Califor-
mia and Nevada. They make very
poor white man. An ordinary Indian
will work little, and If he does not his
squaw will; but the educated Indian Is
too smart. The only way to make
virtuous red man is to kill him and
bury him beneath the never blooming
sagebrush. There are several intelli-
gent Indians living about Reno, and
their intelligence is chiefly directed to
obtaining whisky. There is one who
can read and write very well, and he is
nearly always drunk. When you edu-
cate an Indian you merely open bis
eyes to the fact that it is an easy matter
TO get whisky.-Rcno (Ncc.) Evening
Gazette.

\ milk famine is threatened IN |
this city The Orange county farm
ers. who say that they supply one.
half Of the milk consumed ia New
York, resolved recently, at an en-
thusiastic meeting held ia Goshen. Ia
stop shipping their milk until the
city dealers acceded to their demand
for 81 cents per quart, instead Of
cents, for March milk. The merits
of the controversy between the milk
producers and the dealers were dis
cnssed ut length and IN vigorous
language ut yesterdays meeting
The producers alleged that they have
been imposed upon hy the New York
dealers for the last twelve OF nfteen
years, and nearly impoverished 10y
the low prices allowed them by the
dealers. One Of the members of the
Erie Mutual Milk.Producers' asso-
citation presented statistics to show
that SO extensive was the milk pro.
ducing interest in Orange county that
the difference of ! cent per quart at
fected the farmers of that county to
The amount Of $l.350.G00 per year.
The dealers ut this city have hitherto
insisted upon liking the market price
u suit themselves without consult.
ing the producers. This Year they
resolved to give the farmers but 3
cents Il quart for their milk during
The month of March, while they Ia
their turn sold it u consumers for 4
and 10 cents quart. The farmers.
and those particularly living along
the line of the Erie railway, declared
that they conid not afford to produce
Tire milk for 5 cents u quart In March
u, they were Obliged to buy feed AMI
incur other expenses in the care of
their cows. They mildly asked for
31a cents Il quart, and their request
was promptly refused by the dealers.
The producers then organized for
the purpose OF self protection. and ,y
their action of yesterday they will
undertake to match their strength
! against that of the dealers. 1t is as.
serted that between 1000 and 5000
i0.gallun cans of milk are usually
| sent ~ Jersey City daily from Orange
and Sussex counties. Ii is proposed
10 shut of the greater portion of this
supply until the dealers will agree
pay the producers their price. The
action taken by the farmers in this
matter WAS unanimous. and an earn
est determination was unaffected by
them to pour their milk product into
| the country roads rather than let n
quart at it get into the hands Of the
New York dealers for 3 cents a
quart. To-day is the time appointed
for the farmers new line of policy IL
go into effect, and there is strong
probability that there will he no
rlceable scarcity of good milk in this
city before the fight is ended.--Neu
York Times.
