A FuLeiLLEu pRoPuE II.

An Ohio man writing "reminiscences OF
carly days. Among other items he tells
of a debate on the railroad question held
in 1929, and thus tails of a prophecy by
Captain B., one Of the contestants:
The railroad idea was then in embryo
was just beginning to be talked of in
the East. The captain made railroad
speech. He prophesied that the day was
not far off when railroads would be laid
all over the Union-that men would
travel fifteen miles an hour by steam,
and that heavy burdens would be drawn
over land by the same power He said
there would be railroad some day from
Cleveland to Cincinnati, and that it
would not miss that point where we then
were, very far. He likewise alluded to
the telegraph, and said that there was
little doubt that time would come when
messages would be sent considerable dis
tances by electricity.
On that particular night there was a
full house, many of the old and staid citi.
Gems being present. Within two or three
days afterwards, the following note, in
substance, was sent to me, as Secretary
of the Debating Society, accompanied,
not by request, but by command to
read it publicly at the next meeting. l
read it, and the railroad discussion was,
for the time, squelched, as one would
be likely to suppose, after reading the
notice.
The following is nearly verbatim
copy of the note, which was signed by
ten Of the most influential citizens of the
place:
"You are welcome to the use of the
school-house to debate all proper ques-
tions in, but such things as railroads and
telegraph are impossbilties, and are
rank intidelity. There is nothing in the
word of God about them; and if God had
designed that his intelligent creatures
should travel at the frightful speed of Is
miles an hour by steam, be would have
clearly foretold it through his holy
prophets. 1t is device OF Satan to lead
immortal souls down to hell"
Captain B. did not live to see the full.
fillment of his prophecy, but majority
of those who signed the paper did. The
railroad station is now within 800 yards
of where the school.house was then, and
trains pass by it at the rate of so miles
al hour.

Discovery of Iron and Steel.

In an address on technical training
delivered before the alumni association
of Lehigh University Thomas NJ.
Drown pictures the discovery of me
tallic iron and steel in this way:
NEARLY all the early discoveries in
the arts were the result Of accident or
hap-hazard experiment We can well
imagine that a fire large and intense
enough to reduce iron from its ore
must often have been made in acci-
dental contact with surface ore, and
that the presence of the metal in the
ashes must have attacted attention.
This observation once made, there
would follow series of experiments
to determine the conditions under
which metal was produced, and the
substances necessary for its production.
1t would not long escape intelligent
observation that certain brown earth,
or may be black rock, was the sub
stance which yielded the metal, and
that the fire was the necessary condi-
ton of its formation. But the iron
thus accidentally produced-a mixture
of metal cinder and ashes was of no
value till further experiment revealed
the fact that the metal could when hot
be united by hammering into one mass,
with the separation of cinder and 9TH
er eXtraneOus matter The discovery
of this property prompted still further
experiment. The irregularity of the
product would suggest the more per-
feet control Of the fire, and smelt furn-
aces would be built. In the course of
time it would be noted that the iron
was not uniform in hardness, and an
accident would be sure to reveal the
fact that sometimes the metal, when
suddenly cooled in water, would be-
come intensely hard. This new line
of investigation would result in the
production of steel"

but my second clip, which | was

me, he having fixed his man at single
stroke.

were, securely bound and, in spite of
their threats and entreaties, we put
back to port and gave them up to the
authorities, receiving the reward of
three thousand dollars, which the cap
tian generously shared with me.

1t is curious and important fact
that pieces Of wire cable of the Fair

wire of that size now in the market.

ton is its use, in part, in the construc-

for this purpose being the refuse,

equal amount of straw and asbestos,
is converted into paste, and this is
formed into large slabs or bricks,
which acquire, it is said, the hardness
of stone, and furnish really valuable
building stock

ATTACKED BY STOW
Always.

Az, ay, shipmates, I know it is my
turn now, so hold up while get wind,
said old Jack Casewell, as we lay be-
calmed off st. Verne one sultry day in
August, and to pass away the time,
that hung rather heavily on our hands,
were engaged in storytelling.
"Let's see," he began, after a mo-
ment's reflection, "iJ was IN the season
Of SO, that | hired under old Captain
Warrenton, who run schooner on the
coasts of the Gulf. She was a small
craft, of not more than hundred and
fifty tons burden, and on the trip l am
speaking os was loaded at Mobile with
a cargo for New Orleans.
''Besides the skipper and myself,
then lad of only fifteen, there was but
one hand. AS the craft was easily
handled, and the runs short, Captain
Warrenton seldom ever shipped more
than four !; and on this time, when he
got ready to sail, and one of the men
couldn't be found, he concluded to
start with me and the other one, sal
lor named Ned Allen, for there was a
prospect of quick and easy passage.
"There was great excitement in Mo-
bile at the time over the escape of a
couple of villains from the Jail, who
had been recently captured and were
waiting trial for murder. l don't be.
lieve tougher pair of rascals were ev-
er found in Alabama than Ruell Victor
and Dennis Lorne. They had killed
as many as half dozen persons, to say
nothing of other crimes without num-
ber Of which they were guilty. +
"You may guess that their escape
created no little disturbance, and they
were more dreaded than ever.
1.-THE authorities did their best to re-
capture them, but no trace of the des-
peradoes could be found, and the day
we left port three thousand dollars re-
ward was offered for them, or one-half
that sum for either of them.
"Well, we had fair wind for start,
and RAJ down the bay, standing off be-
tween the Dauphin and the Point at
bout six.
''About that time had occasion to
60 into the fore-peak to get some rope
yarn. Now we had no forecastle part
ed off from the hold, as there was room
enough for all in the cabin, and we had
this stowaway in between the bows,
where We chuckled away our old tlum-
perry.
81 was hard at work unlaying a piece
of rope for the yarns, when thought
heard a noise among the boxes in the
hold. Listening moment with my
ear close to the bulk head, knew some
one was in there. AS the captain and
Allen were above, L wondered who il
could be, and kept perfectly still, to SEE
if could be.
81 was not kept in suspense long fol
pretty soon I heard a man speak, ant
then another answered him.

It Sounded Funny.

Scotch Highlanders have the habit

he has come Often, in consequence a
sentence is rendered extremely ludi-

will find my text in the first epistle
general of Peter, fifth chapter and
eighth verse: The devil he goeth a
bout like roaring lion seeking whom
he may devour' Now, my brethren,
for our instruction / have divided my
text into four heads. Firstly, we
shall endeavor to ascertain who the
devil he was. Secondly, we shall in
quire into his geographical position,
namely, "where the devil he was and
where the devil he was going? Third
ly, who the devil he was seeking.
And fourthly and lastly, we shall en-
deavor to solve question which has
never yet been solved-what the devil
he was roaring about
