Krupp Hammers.

There is curious personality IN nam
merS, and workmen like to give them
names. There are 80 stcam-hammers
in the KruDp works, of from 400 pounds
weight to so tons. The largest is
Fritz" whose 80 tons fall on an anvil
and anvil-block weighing together 1850
tons, these resting on q foundation 100
feet deep. The next in size is named
MAX 1t would require a poet like
him who sang the Song of the Bell
rightly to describe the action of ''Fritz,
and l do not wonder that the Emperor,
on,his visit here, presented the worker
of this hammer with a watch. I oh
served Fritz for some time at work
upon the steel stem of an Australian
iron-clad, the Ferdinand Max. The
metal was from one casting, without
seam or weld, 45 feet long and of 25
tons weight -Four men with long
clamps managed this red-hot mass,
swung over the anvil by Il crane. They
turned it readily this way and that, the
foreman at each pause uttering a signal
which Fritz" understood, answering
with soft tap. or q gentle pressure, or
with an earthquake. | was curious to
see the anvil-block which supplemented
the ability of the earth to sustain such
shocks through a length of time, and
was presently shown one which, after
twenty-one years of humping, had
cracked straight through from top to
bottom-possibly beneath some gentle
stroke which was the last feather to
break its huge back. Krupp does not
make plates for ironclads, but only such
parts as might be needed for ordinary
ships.
Having Lit our cigars on the Austrian
ironclad, we proceed to observe the
operations of s.Max'' and other ham,

end it will be proved that they are not
one: no conceivable force can weld into
one different organizations of atoms.
To be thoroughly united they must be

central part of railway wheels is made
by Welding, but the tires are made
without welding. The nave of the
wheel is of wrought iron, which is
placed beneath a hammer of suitable

is shaped. The tire is cut from long
round mass of STEELE or from one
casting-whe it is called ''cheese;''
it is fattened, punched in the center

The extinction of the policy shops has
eliminated from the community one
honorable occupation which had q rare
flavor of sinecure about it. 1t had few
professors, and these only enioyed a
limited circulation in quarters where
the children of Africa paid homage to
their divinity Poke-a-Moke. The ladies
and gentlemen-for there were both
sexes following this avocation-were
known as ''sleepers,n and sometimes as
'.dreamers. Perhaps the former was
the more truthful title of the two. The
sleeper was q sort of low-class pro-
phet on clairyoyant, who professed to
have dreams by which certain lucky
numbers were indicated that infaIibly
would come out on the next lottery
drawing. The sleeper took up his
quarters about policy shop-if possible
in or in front of it. There he dozed
away for awhile until the patrons of
the place began to appear. At that he
was up and brimful of information
from the regions of Sunderland. He
had a regular system of augury by
which he fixed certain numbers to GER
tain circumstances occurring in his al
legged dream, and these for considera-
ton he conided to the dupes who play
ed the game. Necessarily the sleeper"
made good many mistakes. But o
chance hit built up his reputation for
ever SO long. A Thompson street
sleeper who predicted the drawing of
4--11-44 on day the numbers came
out was bound to last the best part of a
generation as an infallible professor OF
slumber. --New York Herald.

The Herman Herald pretends to
think the Morris papers unfriendly to
the cause of the farmers. So far as
the TRIBUNE is concerned, the oppo-
site is known to be the case. 1t has
been first and foremost among the pa
pers in this part of the state in attack
ing monopolies and every species of
wrong from which the people are suf-
fering and is still in this position.
Everything that tends to help the peo-
pie is advertised and commended and
all that tends to injure them or their
interests is unreservedly condemned.
We are pleased to be able to state also
that the farmers and others are by
their liberal support and in other UNI
mistakable ways showing their ap-
proyal of our past course and present

What is wanted is cheaper rates

The information that Mr. ST.

namely "that there are more orange
trees set out in Florida than in all
the orange producing countries of
the EARTH" is false, and the state

knowledge on the subject. Senior
Don Bentoni's orange grove on the
Azore islands covers 1920 acres,
and the Don told me himself last
December, in his office in Boston,
that his estate had over one and

If Florida has so many orange trees
why does she not produce the fruit?
1t is folly to get frightened at such
stories; no crcdence can be placed
in them and facts DO not lead the
reader into error, such statements
do. If Florida has more trees than
all the world beside, how long be-
fore she can produce sufficient fruit
to drive foreign frait out of our
own market? Please figure that ont.
1t is admitted by all that the Flor
ida orange is superior, why then
trust to foreigners to raise ninety
three oranges and lemons out Of
every one hundred we consume.
