not q single person lost. The guests
were immediately moved To the compa-

comfortably housed. Twenty five thou.

A Revival of the Bronze Age.

We had in the earlier ages OF man
kind rough and polished stone age
| q bronze age, and an age Of iron, each
| distinguished by the character of the
material that was predominantly used
by men for their weapons and tools,
and have now added to those ages one
of steel. In q similar manner we are
now entering upon revival of the
bronze age, in which that substance in
its varieties is to be put through stages
of improvement like those that iron
and steel have undergone. Many
varieties of bronze have been produced
within the last few years that possess
features strongly distinguishing them
from the ancient alloys, and some very
remarkable qualities as compared with
them, in view of which they are fire.
quently used in place of even iron and
steel. The bronzes of the ancients
were composed of copper and tin. as is
also what is now regarded as bronze
pure and simple, mixed in proportions
varying according to the purpose for
which the compound is intended. Other
substances, however, are often added,
without unclassifying the product,
which is still called bronze, provided
copper and tin are the chief constitu-
ents. Among these substances are
zinc, lead, phosphorus manganese
silicium, iron, nickel, arsenic, antimo-
ny and sulphur. 1t is the addition OF
certain proportions Of one or other Of
such substances that constitutes the
modern development of bronze manu-
facture, and which has given us some
of the most useful and at the same
time some of the most remarkable al
Toys known. These comprise no fewer
than eleven distinct products, all of
which find their uses in connection
with the practice of engineering. They
are: phosphor-bronze, silicium-bronze,
manganese-bronze, delta-metal, phos-
phor copper, phosphor manganese
bronze, phosphor-lead bronze, phos-
phor-tin, aluminum-bronze, silveroid,
and cobalt-bronze. There are also
other bronzes which are used as sub
stitutes for gold in cheap imitation
iewelry, but they do not come within
the scope of the present paper.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Ex-Secretary Tel
Ter in an interview here denies that the
leases to the cattle men as first granted
by the Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes in
1888 had ever been sanctioned or recog.
nized by HIM SIS Secretary of the Interior.
He says he specifically stated at the time
and incorporated statement in his re-
ports of 1884 that the government re-
served the right to interfere with the cat
uemeD and remove them whenever it be-
came necessary, either of its own notion
or from complaints of the Indians, In
this connection he announced to the cat
tlemen that If such occupation proved
agreeable to the Indians the government
would not interfere with the possessions.
The senator is of the opinion that much
good had been done the Indians
meeting the cattle men. The former
were taught how to herd cattle and in
other ways were made familiar with
actual business.

Las VEGAS, N. NJ, Aug. 9.-The fire
at the Montezums hotel at the Hot
Springs last night originated about II 80
in the lobby of the third floor at an attic
near the stairway leading to the top of
the grand tower. The general alarm
was sounded in the Office and the guests
were Immediately warned of their dan
ger by the sounding of the electric gongs
in all parts of the house. There were
about seVenty-f1ve rooms occupied.
Everybody escaped and nearly all per-
sonal effects of the guests were
saved. Immediately after the gen.
ersl alarm he'd been sounded the
chief clerk and three other en-
plOyees of the house rushed to the fourth
floor and unreeled a fire hose attached

was too short to reach the flames. In a
few minutes the flames had burst

all hopes of saving the building were
abandoned. The volunteer department

called by telephone. A special train

had been raging for four hours. The fire
gradually worked to the ground floor,
making a complete loss of the hotel.
The furniturs on the ground floor only
was saved and the guests were compelled
to imprOvise lodgings on the ground and
went INTO camp for the night, while the
iremen worked with the relief force
