IRON CRYSTALS.
Good Steel Presenting the Appearance oi
Groups of Beautiful Crystals.


An exchange says that the microscop-
ic determination of the different quail
ties of iron and steel is now regarded as
one of the most valuable aids in metal
lurgical industries. Thus the crystals of
iron are double pyramids in which the
proportion of the axes to the bases sva-
ries with the quantity of the iron; the
smallness of the crystals and the height
of the pyramids composing each ele-
ment are in proportion to the quality
and density of the metal, which are seen
in the fineness of the surface; and as the
proportion of the carbon diminishes in
the steel, the pyramids have so much
the less height. In pig iron and the
lower qualities of hard steel the crystals
approach the more closely the cubic
form. Forged iron has its pyramids
flattened and reduced to superposed
parallel leaves, whose structure cOnsti-
tutes what is called the nerve of the
steel; and the best quality of steel has
all its crystals disposed in parallel lines,
each crystal filling in the interstices be-
tween the angles of those adjoining,
these crystals having their axes in the
direction of the percussion they undergo
during the working. Practically, good
steel has the appearance, microscope
cally, of large groups of beautiful crvs-
tails BROOKLYN Eaqlc.

Cape Horn Route to China.

Captain Robert B. Forbes, of Boston,
has recently suggested to the Hydro
graphic Office new route for vessels
from the United States to ports in Japan
and Northern China. His suggestion
substantially is that vessels leaving
American ports during the months from
August to November inclusive, and ar
irving on the China coast during the
season of the northeast monsoon,
'.could accomplish the voyage in a
shorter time by the way OF Cape
Horn, than by the route around the
Cape of Good Hope" The researches
of the photographic Office on this
point, though not conclusive, show APP
parently that this voyage can be made
via Cape Horn in about fifteen days less
than by the old passage north Of Aus
tralia and in about twenty-five days less
than by the passage south of Australia,

The Draft Horses of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, it is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name. Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced OF
all French races, and all departments
of France 90 to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron stud book Of France, pub
lished under the authority of the French
Government, is the only stud book of
draft horses that sss0r eUer has been pub
lished in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains pedigree.
They are furnished at the request of
American buyers by the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention OF
publishing them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. It is well known
fact that what man gives for horse
over from $500 to $80O-the price of a

and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal

has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no Intelligent man will buy
a horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
in the Percheron Stud Book of France

The best test of mans willingness
to aid in good cause is to ask him to
contribute money toward its support.
If he stands this severe test and con-
tributes according to his means, the
sincerity of his protestations may be
accepted.
But one is often reminded of a farmer
who, on being approached by the agent
of proposed railroad, exclaimed vo-
ciferously:
.sYes, I'm in favor of railroads first,
last and all the time. Railroads are a
civilizing influence; they cause the
waste places to blossom as the rose.
You can put me down as a man who
will help build railroad"
The agent was delighted. As the
farmer was rich, the agent supposed
that the farmer would take about fifty
thousand dollars worth of stock, so he
took out his books and asked:
'.For how much stock shall l put you
down?'

you can put me down for seventy-five

Obese individuals may suffer from

There are many ways Of reducing the

third by muscular exercise; and there
are also balneotherahy or bathing. and

the addition of anisic acid, substance
obtained from the oil of anise seed. 1t
exists under the form of colorless

antiseptic properties similar to those of

effect in large doses, for when it was
injected in large quantities into the
