THE FIGHT BEGUN.
Engineers and Firemen on the
Burlington System Inaugu-

ployment.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2I.-An the engineers
Of the Burlington road belong ing to the
brotherhood have stopped work. An of
fetal notice that this would be done was
sent to General Manager Stone, Sunday.
Hs positively refused to grant the de-
nands of the engineers and flreInen for
anew scale of wages and now the strike
Is on.
AL men in the employ of the Burling-
ton system who know how to run an
engine win be pressed into service on
passenger trains and no effort win be
made to run freights at present.
Officers of the road claim they have
sufficient nen to run the passenger
trains. s.s
The strike promises to be the most re-
garkabie ever known, for in it the
strongest single labor organization in
existence has been pitted against the
largest railroad corporation in the West,
and one of the greatest in mileage and
wealth in the world. Should tho strike
long continue, it is probable that, in ad.
dition to the ], 400 men directly involved,
the great majority of the 10, coo employees
of the company will be thrown out of

A Monster Tool.

One of the finest and most powerful
tools that mechanical science has yet
achieved has just been finished at Null
house for the French navy. It is a two
carriage universal lathe, which is a COM
plete machine shop in itself, being capable
Of performing the most varied operations
such as mortising, shaping, boring and
molding with the most perfect accuracy.
It is wonderfully adapted to the delicate
and complicated working of pieces for
armor plating txlrrets, of helix supports,
of rudders, of cranked shafts, of pistons,
&c., for modern war vessels, and it handles
and shapes immense masses Of steel almost
as skillfully IS the carpenter carves small
blocks of wood. Its weight is more than
$40 tons, apd 1t is driven by an engine of
twenty-five horse power. Comparison of
this tool with one Of seventy-six tons,
which was mechanical marvel some
twenty five years ago, gives a striking IL
lustration OF the almost incredible progress
Of our generation. --Arkansaw Traveller.

Ea;xarian Fahrics.

It is quite common thing, says an ex-
change, to find in Bulgarian novels, grimy
with smoke and infested with vermin,
hangings and dresses that could be sold
for guinea the square foot in Regent
street, and the color of this stuff is so
fine, the material so pure and the work so
good and firm that little cleaning will
make 50-year-old embroidery look like
new. Alas, some apostles of civilization
in the form of German bagmen have lat
terly taught the Bulgarian women that
they can mix like cotton with their
woods and use cheaper materials for their
dyes; so that even the comfortable white
and blue chalaks, which were warm in
winter and light in summer, which kept
out rain and rheumatism, which could be
darned and redarned and worn down to
q thread, are now yielding to textures
which for trade purposes bear the same
name, but Of which the properties have
nothing in common with the original. =.
