Eight hours spent in work, and

HARD ON THE EYES.
Why Pittsburgh Iron Heaters Are Almos t
All Near Sighted.

All Near Sighted.
1t is fact that large percentage of
the men employed as heaters in the iron
mills of Pittsburgh are more or less
troubled with defective vision, the ma
ture of their work compelling them to
gaze for protracted periods upon the
intensely dazzling light of metal at
white heat, which they must be able to
distinguish from the flames of burning
gas which surround it. Secretary Will
lam Martin, of the Amalgamatcd As
ISOLATION of Iron and Steel Workers in
Pittsburgh, says that among men who
have worked for few years in the iron
mills near-sightedncss or weakness of
the eyes is almost universal, and adj
vised the reporter to interview few of
the employees of any mill in the city to
test this statement.
This was done. resulting in confirm
alton from half dozen heaters in one
of the largest rolling mills in the city.
The men seen had worked in the iron
mills from periods ranging from three
to twenty years, and with very slight
differences their powers of vision had
all been affected in the same manner.
They are unable to distinguish small
objects at any considerable distance.
One was entirely unable to read the
print in an ordinary newspaper; an
other pointed out clock with dial q
foot in diameter and said he could not
see the hands ten feet away. With one
the trouble was permanent and unvary-
ing, while another's eyes were restored
to their normal condition if he stopped
month. None of them experience
pain, and it does not seem to have oc-
CURED to any one that physicians
services were needed. They regard the
change that takes place in their eyes
as sort Of process of getting used"
to necessary requirements of their trade.
The reporter on looking into one of
their blazing heaters could distinguish
only binding glare, scarcely inferior
to the dazzling light of the sun itself.
Yet these men must be able to see
clearly the white-hot masses of metal
through the flames of the gas that is
burning all around them. The diff
Guilty of doing this may be compared to
that which would be experienced in
trying to perceive one bright light
through another. Yet the experienced
heater does it with as much ease as if
the hot iron were so much wood float
ing in water. They say that no degree
of proficiency can be acquitted in less
than three months time, and that since
the employment of natural gas in the
furnaces the difficulty has become much
greater and the effect upon the eye
more pronounced. - Pittsburgh Letter.

CLEANING HARNESS.
A New Way Which Is Said to Be Superior
to Old Methods.

Let me say to all having any thing
to do with harness-keep out the lamp
black. 1t never was intended to use
on any kind of leather that is to be
blacked on the grain side, but only on
the flesh side, of such as is used for shoe
leather, because when applied to the
grain side it will rub off on your hands
every time there is damp spell or the
leather gets wet. Nearly all country
stores and harness shops keep for sale
preparation of ne atsfoot of lampblack
and other ingredients. for the purpose
of oiling harness. l do not want any
such on my harness. A better plan
for cleaning, backing and oiling your
harness is this: First, take the harness
apart wherever it can be unbuckled;
give each strap good washing, usin g
lukewarm water with little washing
soda in it. Scrub them well with a
scrubbing brush. and be sure you get
all the grease and dirt off Work them
wellin the hands until they are soft and
plant, for it is no use to apply oil on
dry, horny leather; it will never become
soft. After the harness is thoroughly
cleansed with the soda water you will
find places on some parts that will be
little red OF foxy. To cover these
rightly little previous preparation
must be made. Take small keg or
half barrel and get some iron filings
from a machine shop, or old rusted
stovepipe, wornout horse-shoes-any
kind of iron-put them in this key and
cover with cider vinegar. Always
keep it on hand, for the longer it stands
the stronger it will get. After a few
weeks draw off some of this color and
put little copperas into it. Now you
have complete grain color; know of
none better. Take brush and apply
this liquid to parts on the harness that
show red, or you can go all over them
with it. This must be done immedi-
ately after you have washed your har-
ness, before oiling, because it will not
dry too rapidly, until about three parts
dry, then apply pure cod oil plentifully
on both sides-not neatsfoot oil, as has
been recommended. The cod oil has
more body and is more lasting than
any other oil l have ever used on
leather that has been tanned with bark.
besides, ifyou use neatsfoot oil. the rats
and mice will eat your harness, while
that CREASED with cod oil they will not
touch. After giving a good coat of
this cod oil. hang up as before until
dry. Then would 90 over them again
with the oil, giving them but light
coat of it this time. After that dries
in, wipe off with dry, coarse cloth.
For common work harness nothing
moreis needed, but for carriage harness
20 over with sponge and CASTLE soap.
and wipe with dry chamois skin. and
you may depend upon it there will DO
no black to rub off on your hands. -

HUNTING HIPPoPOTAMI.
How the Young Are Caught by the Agent
of Menagerie ProPrietors.

How the Young Are Caught by the Agents
of Menagerie Proprietors.
." have counted as many as twenty
hippopotamus heads in one pool said
Mr.. Lohse, land the river is full OF
them. OF course, it W ould be impossi-
bic to catch the old ones, but they have
to be got out of the way, and the only
way to do is to shoot them. | have shot
six in one pool in an afternoon. As
soon as all the old ones are killed, the
understand they are very brave ones
who 90 after hippopotami-harpoon
the young through the neck. The neck
is very thick and fat, and if the har-
pooh is skillfully thrown there is no
danger of killing the young hippopot-
anus. A float is fastened to the har-
poon by rope, and when the animal
becomes compl etely exhausted in its
efforts to free itself it is drawn gently
to the shore by this rope, and secured.
1t is put into pen and kept there and
fed upon goats milk until its wound
is healed, when it is driven to the
serbia.
LAS said, the hippopotamus hunters
are very courageous and can swim
and dive like seals. l lost one
of my best men the last trip
made on a hippopotamus hunt. Early
one morning we saw young hippo
potamus in the water near the
opposite bank of the river Before /
could stop him, Elbibo, the chief of my
hunters, was in the river and SWIM
ming rapidly across to harpoon the
animal. He got close to it and had
raised his arm to throw the harpoon
when he sudde My gave yell and sank
out of sight. A ripple near where he
had been told US that he had been drag
ged under by crocodile. We had
given him up as lost, when he reap
peared and made his way to the bank,
where he lay do wn exhausted. His
left arm was torn off at the shoulder.
l did what l could for the poor fellow
but he bled to death that night He
never made cry, but asked me quiet
| " Just before he died to see that his
two wives did not suffer from poverty.
Mr.. Lohse has also had exciting
times hunting the rhinoceros. As with
the elephants the young are run down
by horsemen until they are exhausted.
The baby rhinoceros is then lassoed
to a tree until its spirit is broken suf-
ficiently to permit of its being driven
to the camp. AS in hunting the other
animals there is a particular class 81
trained men who 60 after the rhinoc-
eros. They must be expert riders, and
fully acquainted with the habits of the
huge, dangerous beasts they attack.
"An Infatuated rhinoceros," said Mr..
Lohse, sis literally blind with rage. "
He puts his head down, and runs in a
bee line, knocking down every thing
in his way. If there was stone wall
in front of him he would smash right
up against it. Some of my Homrahn
hunters wounded a female rhinoceros
one day, when the brute ran off. The
men were securing her young when
she suddenly stopped and rushed to-
ward them. 1t was such an unbeard-of
thing for one of the animals to do, that
the hunters were taken completely by
surprise. One of them was caught by
her horn and thrown high in the air.
He dropped to he ground corpse, for
the rhinoceros had disemboweled him.
