They say that when a pack goes out

Eaving found this, he starts off alone.
and when he has ascertained the
whereabouts of the quarry returns TO

These precautions having been

outlying dogs, who gives chase. The

Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more

In Modena there are fully 100 flocks

used as signal instead of the flag,

that has been going the rounds of the
press said watch manufacturer to
tho reporter. 1.-The item refer to
states that tile watch repaircr is more
rapacious than the plumber, and
charges 81 so for putting in a main
spring that costs him Scents and takes
him twenty minutes to insert AS a
matter of fact, the mainsprings in or
binary use cost $3.50 per dozen and
can be inserted In twenty minutes,
providing the repairer meets with no
accident But his profits cannot be
Judged in that way. The handspring
of watch is of such delicate work
mansllip that hive known skilled
hand to break as many as fifteen in
putting one IN a watch. This will
show you that the repairer is often
out of pocket through job. a pc
culiar thing about mainsprings is that
they are very susceptible to atmos-
pheric changes. Except when they
meet with an accident. most springs
break during the months of March,
April and May. No one can assign
a reason for this, but it is a fact too
well known to watcllmakers to be
questioned. New York Evening Sun.

Tho Finest Steel Made From Pig IRON in
Eight and one-HaIf Minutes.

Tho Finest Steel Made From Pig Iron In
Eight and One-HaIf Minutes.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Dec. a-For some time
wide awake steel men have been aware that
John w. Bookwalter, of this city, has been
engaged in perfecting and introducing a
new process for the manufacture of steel
From, what could be learned of tho process
there were well grounded reasons to believe
that extraordinary results could be produced
by it.
A serious of thorough tests have just been
made before practical steel men and expsrts
from all parts OF the country, and leaves no
doubt that it is destined to be a wonderful
success Steel of all grades, and even
wrought iron of the highest purity and dual.
ity, can be- produced from the pig iron in
eight and one-half minutes, and at cost
even less than by any process hitherto
known.
One great feature of the process, which
will make it of National import, is that from
the extreme fuidity of the metal and other
qualities, it can be run with certainty into
castings Of all forms and sizes, producing
castings true to the pattern, remarkably
sound and free from pores and blubbers, and
possessed of extremely high tensile strength
and ductility. 1t can, therefore, be used
for the casting of cannon of any size and
form.
The importance of this viii be realized
when it is remembered that the great want
of all governments just now is steel cannon,
and vast sums have been appropriated to
secure guns cast solid from the steel. Here
totOre little, if any, success has been reached
in that line. From the results obtained at
the Bookwalter plant here, which is capable
of turning out o tons per day, there can be
no room to doubt that our government can
now secure solid steel cannon OF all sizes and
OF the highest grale of metal
Considering its cheapness, the ease of
operation, the perfect certainty with which
any quantity and quality of metal can be
produced, with other marked advantages,
there can be no doubt that through this
process the iron or steel industry will take a
new departure.

circulation in Siam, and the faculty of

that no human being, however care

The cashier ape meditatiyely puts into
