WELDING METALS.
Broken Bars of Different Metals Easily Re-
united by Means of Electricity.

Broken Bars of Different Metals Easily Re-
united by Means of Electricity.
For the second time within a COM
paratively few years, new discovery
in electricity has been first publicly
shown before the Society of Arts con-
nected with the Institute of Technology
of this city. Recently Prof. Thompson
made known to the public his new and
remarkable method of welding. Up
to the present the process of welding
has been confined within narrow limits,
the metals upon which it could be prac
ticed being few. By the new method, a
broken bar of metal can be easily reu-
nited, or bars of different metals welded
together; and those metals which pre-
viously resisted welding most strenu-
ously are now joined with ease, while
those previously easily welded remain
the same by the new process. Differ
ences in specific electrical and heat con-
ductivity are the properties which are
most troublesome. The method con-
sists in simply forcing the ends TO be
"CihCu lOSCIhCI u SiilIN dhb passing IL
sufficiently powerful current of cleo
tricity through the joint. The resis-
lance raises the metal to welding heat
and the pressure makes the joint. The
speaker enumerated some of the practi-
cal results obtained personally within a
recent period. Iron and copper wires
of varying dimensions have been joined
end to end. Steel or iron bars nearly
an inch in diameter have been solidly
welded together, and steel has also been
joined to brass. A copper rod nearly
one-half an inch in diameter has been
welded, requiring current of 10000
amperes. Steel-pointed tools may be
cheaply made of inferior metal, and
new points welded on as desired.
The cost of the new process is I'M
dOubtedly less than by the old method
of forge and hammer, while the time
required is very short and no heat is
wasted. Mr.. Thompson stated that in
welding a steel bar u inches in diane
ter, current of 5000 ampcres in volume
and having an electro-motive force of
one-half a volt was necessary. The use
of 35-horse power for one minute is an
other way to state it.-Bost0n Herald.

uo,,.,,eHTs APPOINTMENT.
A Land Re:ormer Now Governor OF wy

A RPsOrmeF
oming Instead of Land GrabJer.
Mr.. Moonlight, the recently defeated
Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Kansas. has been named by the Presi-
dent Tor Territorial Governor of Wyo-
ming in place Of young Baxter, whose
appointment few weeks ago gave
such unbounded satisfaction to the
citizens OF the Territory interested.
The prompt dropping of Mr.. Baxter
arises from causes which show how
much in earnest the Administration IS
In its determination to save the rem
nant of the pubic domain for the use
of actual settlers. The Governor who
was removed to give place to Baxter
earned his dismissal by siding with the
land grabbcrs on every occasion and
by attacking the policy of Land Com
missioner Sparks in his annual report
to the President. 1t had been sup
posed that Baxter was not involved in
any of the land schemes of the far
West. but his appointment had hardly
been announced when reports came TO
the Whit. House that Baxter had not
only interested himself in many OF
these enterprises, but that, in open and
fragrant violation of the Presidents or
der, he had fenced in many thousands
of acres of public land. Unable to
give 4 satisfactory account of himself
in these respects. the young man was
displaced and Mr.. Moonlight. who ism
hearty sympathy with the Administra-
tons land policy, was given the place.
1t will begin to dawn upon some of
the free and easy land-grabbers of that
section after awhile that the day of
big ranches with whooping cowboys to
chase and murder settlers past.-Chi

The President gives evidence {

The President gives evidence of
his special solicitude for the laboring
and agricultural interests of the coun-
try both in his discussion of the effect
upon them of the revenue policy and
his renewed reference to the possibility
OF promoting arbitration in labor dis
putes by National action. His refer
ence to Ciyil-Service reform shows that
he does not in the least swerve from
his earnest faith in the value of the svs-
tenn established. He makes an admir-
ably clear and concise statement of its
significance and effect. On the whole
the message is one to which hardly any
exception can fairly be taken. being

HOW ST. LOUIS FEELS.

The southwest strike is at an end.
The correspondence on the subject
whic is printed in our local columns
this morning, is a curious piece of
reading. Ailusion is made to tcsti-
nony taken by the congressional COM
mitiee, showing how the strike has in
jurcd the business of this city and the
southwest, and on an appeal TO its
magnanimity the executive committee
consents to lie; go its eight weeks law
less gtip. Not one word is said by
way of justification for the acts which
have cost our community millions of
dollars in lost trade and our working
men millions of dollars in unearned
wages. One would think to read the
correspondence that the strike was a
thing of right and justice. for
which no excuse or atonement is nee
essary, and that the people of the
southwest ought TO be thankful for
the self-sacrificing spirit which gives
consent to its discontinuance. AS We
have opposed the strike from its i'll
cepi:on, and fought it from day 10
day as a giant wrong, in spite of
threats and intimidations, we are glad
to record its ending. But we decline
to recognize in the ending more than
the mere cessation of unprovoked
wrong-doing. Onr people will unite
in thanks for the restoration of what
rightfully belongs to them; but the
thanks will be of the kind to be rem
dered for deliverance from calamity
TO which they should never have been
subjected, rather than for substan-
tial benefit willingly conferred upon

A MIXED BUT SAD AFFAIR.

The Harper Sentinel gives a graphic
account of a frightful collision between
trains on the ID. p. Alexander and G.
Wood Davis roads, one mile north of
that city. where the banks of Sand
creek are one hundred feet high. The
passengers on the train consisted of
opposing railroad committees from
Anthony and Harper, all of whom
were terribly maneled except as to
their checks. which were not fazcd
by the racket. After burying the
dead and sending the wounded to
Wichita to be bathed in hog bri>tle
soup churned up by the engines from
the Littlc river. the editor takes up
ard disposes of Jay Gould, the EAGLE
and other living and absorbing issues
in the most satisfactory way to all
concerned. How the Sentinel can
maintain so serious view over such
trivial questions passes all our an
derstandiug. We had expected. of
course. a collision on these rival roads
down in Harper. hut had hoped that
the fatal catastrophe would be post
poncd al least until the survey bad
been completed or the grading done.
As for the editor of the Sentinel's
candidacy for office the EAGLE stands

ing in time TO save the people the bur-

KANSAS CROPS AND STOCKS.

The Kansas Farmer presents TO its
readers this week birds eve view OF
the crops aud stock in the state, made
up of letters from special correspond
EMS. The report is made as of the
S0th day of April. Ii shows that the
growing wheat, though not nearly a
full acreage, is growing well. There
is still good deal of old wheat and
corn on hand among the farmers
enough for home use anyway
Making the state oyer, about so
per cent. of the corn acreage was
planted on the day the reports
were made up, and the indication, are
that the stand will be good. Oats are
good, with a largely increased acreage.
Tame grasses are doing well where
they have been tried; they are gro ~
ing vigorously, making good pasture,
while the range grasses are but fairly
started. Stock is in fair to good con-
dition, and there is no diseases report
ed among farm animals. except III
few cases there is complaint of cholera
among hogs. The showing is very
good, aud farmers are in good spirits.
