BLACKSMITH and W~heelwrixht
When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick. light blows it is a signal to the
helper to use the sledge or to strike
quicker.
The force of the blows given by the
blacksmith's hammer indicates the force
Of blow it Is required to give the sledge
The blacksmith's helper is supposed to
strike the work in the middle Of the
width of the anvil, and when this re-
quires to be varied the blacksmith indi
Gates where the sledge blows are to fall by
touching the required spot with his hand
hammer.
If the sledge is required to have a
lateral motion while descending the
blacksmith indicates the same TO the
helper by delivering hand hammer blows
in which the hand hammer moves in the
direction required for the sledge to move.
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy blow
upon the work and an intermediate light
blow on the anvil 1t denotes that heavy
sledge blows are required.
II there are two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes a blow between each
helpers s.edge hammer blow, the object
being TO merely denote where the sledge
blows are to fall.
When the blacksmith desires the sledge
blows TO cease he lets the hand hammer
head fall upon the anvil and continues its
rebound upon the same until 1t ceases.
Thus the movements of the hand-ham
mer constitute signals to the helper, and
what appear desultory blows to the com
mon observer constitute the method Of
communication between the blacksmith
and his helper.

AFTER THE GOVERNORS SCALP.

The sensational territory is Dakota.
The progress toward statehood being slow,
another diversion has been i~nauguated,
and the newest information concerning
that restless ward OF Uncle Samuel has
developed recently in the interior depart
ment. Not content with President Cleve-
lands slow process of changing the
Offices, the Democrats Of Dakota have hit
upon a plan of ousting Governor Pierce,
and putting in his place our old friend,
f. NJ. Ilebach, the veteran editor of the
Scotland Oak. Citizen. Ziebach' s
petitions are signed by over ten thousand
people, his endorsements being more nu-
merous than those of any other applicant
for any appointment under the new ad-
ministration. People of all shades of
politics have urged his selection, as CON
siderable dissatisfaction is said to exist
against the present governor, especially
among the women of Dakota, for Cover.
nor Pierce vetoed the woman suffrage bill
adopted by the last legislative assembly
o fthat territory.
N%olumnious charges have been filed
with Secretary Lamar against Governor
Pierce. some of them charging malfeasance
in Office, and it is thought he will soon
have to go The charges cover consider
able ground and are accompanied by sworn
statements, afidavits and extensive docu-
mentary evidences in substantiation. Sew
cral Of the cunts in this Democratic in
dictment are very strong, and the governor
will have to hustle pretty lively to keep
ahead Of the procession. A delegation of
prominent Democrats is now en- route to
Washington to give testimony in person
against the governor, and a warm time is
anticipated.

A Curious Experiment.


Professor COLLATION. OF Geneva, recently
described a curious experiment showing
the resistance of the air under certain cir
cumstances TO the motion of bullets in
guns He charged the hollow iron
breech Of an air gun, serving as a reser.
voir, with compressed air. and having
screwed up the gun. introduced a round
lead'ball. running freely. but nearly filling
the bore; then, placing the gun in a
vertical position, he seized the upper end.
and pressed his thumb vigorously on the
mouth. The gun was then fired" by an
assistant; the thumb remained in position.
and the ball was heard to fall back in the
bore. Thereupon, after recharging the
breech and with the same ball, he shot
the latter at a pine board, about four
inches thick. on a pane of glass and it
passed through.
The experiment, NJ. Collsdon says. is
without danger If the operator is quite
sure Of the strength Of his thumb. II the
gun is more than thirty.two inches long.
and If the ball is spherical and nearly
fills the gun. in which It must act like a
piston.
