Renovating Stee! Rails.

Some success appears to have attend
ed the recently devised process of MAX
ing old steel rails new, it having been
found, after various experiments, that
pieces OF steel may, at a proper heat,
be perfectly and easily welded together
after being coated with solution of sill
cate of soda, or other solution in which
silica is contained. Very satisfactory
results have been obtained by dipping
the pieces of steel to be welded into the
silicate solution, or by pouring it upon
them, then punching together the pieces
to be welded, heating them to an ordi-
nary heat, and passing them through
rolls. This is the process followed in
the case of large articles, but those OF
smaller description can be welded under
the hammer when treated previously
with the solution. Not only is this
method found applicable for reworking
old steal rails and other heavy pieces.
but it thus renders certain kinds OF
steel scrap highly serviceable which
formerly were almost worthless; and
the establishment of an important in
dustry is regarded as practicable,
namely, the treatment of masses OF
steel with the silicate solution. on a
large scale. placing them in the heat
ing furnace, and then passing them
through the rolls, thus. it is claimed,
turning old rails into new ones as good
as the first product of the steel ingot.-

College Boys on a FroIic.

1t is told in Boston that a party of
Harvard students, anxious to get even
with the Boston police for some un-
doubtedly good reason, bought bar
ber's pole, got a receipt, and started
through the streets bearing their
property. Of course they were soon
stopped by policeman. Hello. there,
what yer dom it'll that pole?" That's
our business 80, is it? Well, you
come along 18th me-" So he marched
them to the police station. What's
the trouble, officer?' asked the SER
geant. ''Stealin' BARRIERS pole"
Then the policeman gave detailed
account of the crime and the arrest Of
the criminals, who were about to be
sent to their dungeon cells, when one
of them handed the sergeant the re-
ceipt. "Oficer. you may return to
your beat" said the sergeant, and the
students filed out, bearing the pole
proudly. Two blocks away another
policeman stopped them. Then fol-
lowed the same dialogue, another ar
rest. and the same scene at the station.
And so it went on until the young men
had been arrested six times. They
might have been arrested twelve times
had not general notice been sent out
to the police not to modest the party of
young men parading about Boston
bearing BARRIERS pole. IN. Y. Sun.

turists and Gardeners.
At recent meeting of farmers in
Iowa. Mr.. G. P. Gillette. speaking of
entomology for the horticulturist. said:
1T is utterly impossible to definitely
draw the line and say just how much
entomology the horticulturist or farmer
should know. There is no limit to the
information that one might gain in the
study of insects that would be benefit
to him in devising methods of preven-
ton and remedy. shall not go out
side of what may be called the essen
tial knowledge to successful warfare
against our insect foes.
THE horticulturist should be able to
distinguish injurious from beneficial
species. The majority of insects are
vegetable feeders, but there are great
many that feed upon or within the
bodies of other insects, causing them to
die. These latter are called preface
Gus or parasitic, and in the main are
beneficial, as they destroy many injur-
ious forms. When the lice have been
mostly eaten from a plant by the lady
beetles, the Orchardist, finding many of
the latter and few of the former, nat
urally attributes the damage to the
beetles, and proceeds to destroy all that
he can find Natures check is in this
way removed, and the lice increase
again and the injury goes on perhaps
worse than before. It is not at all UNI
common for entomologists to receive
these little friendly insects from farm
ers or fruit growers who report them
as doing much damage to some tree or
plant.
THE lady beetles. or lady birds. az
they are often called. are among the
most beneficial of our predaceous in
sects. Their food consists almost en-
tirely of plant lice and the eggs of in
sects and they should always be pro-
tected. Nearly every one knows these
insects in their adult state. They are
rather small and are shaped much like
Colorado potato beetle, and are usu-
ally decorated with bright white OF
black spots. Who has not said when

numbers"

The Fiercest Little Savages In the World
at Last Won by Kindness.

The Fiercest Little Savages In the World
at Last Won by Kindness.
In the Bay of Bengal is chain Of
islands known as the Andamans. whose
inhabitants have long been famous for
their extreme ferocity. their diminu.
tive stature and the utter failure of
missionaries who have labored amono
them for twenty years without making
a single convert. 1t has been almost
certain death for stranger to set foot
on some of these islands, and it NAV
now be said for the first time that
through the exercises of long and pa.
tient kindnesses these little folks have
been infused with some measure of
confidence in the outer world. A larpe
part of their coasts may now be visited
without inviting the tragedies of which
we have often read as occurring there.
The Indian Government has long
maintained a penal colony on South
Andaman. The white officers in charpe
of it resolved to try upon the fierce
dwarfs OF Little Andaman the policy
that had won for them the good will of
many other islanders. A while ago an
expedition. assaulted as usual when it.
landed with arrows and battle axes,
took three women and six men prison
ers and carried them nearly hundred
miles away to Fort Blair. They were
treated with the utmost kindness. and
after while began to think they were
among friends. In two months they
were restored to their island loaded
with all the presents they could carry.
Upon the next visit of the whites the
released captives came to see them, and
in a few days men, women and chill
dren fearless y visited the camp. and
even ventured on board the steam
launch. Some of them have since Wis
tied the white settlement on South An
daman. and, though tact and caution
are still required to deal with them, it
is believed that soon shipwrecked
crews will be able to land on Little An
daman with perfect safety.
AS far as we know. the Andamanese
are one of the smallest races of men
that ever existed. The average height
of the men, Prof. Flower tells us, is 1
feet inches. that of the women feet
6 inches. They are about the same
size as the South African Bushmen, and
we know no people smaller than the
Bushmen except the Aka of Central
Africa. Evidently of Negrito stock, the
iso alton resu ting from their fiert eness
has kept them d pure and primitive
race. still in the stone age, forming
Meir huts of boughs and leaves, and
presenting to othnologists most inter-
esting field of study.
Only one tribe of these wild people
has thus far proved wholly untamable.
The Jarawas of Great Andaman keep
their arrows sharpened for any whites
who pass their way. Some of them
have been taken captive, honored with
the kindest attention, and finally sent
home loaded with presents, but the
hatred they cherished for the white
race is still as fierce and vindictive as
ever.-N. Y. Sun.

HE tanned ERICSSON.
How Ole Bull Conquered the Iron Hear,
with the Charm of His Music.

How Oie buu conquered the Iron Heart
with the Charm of His Music.
A very interesting incident is told of
Ole Bull and John Ericsson, each of
whom have contributed by their lives
no little fame to the Scandinavian
, countries in which they were born.
Acquainted in their early life and good
friends for years, they had somehow
been separated and had not met again
until both had earned worldwide fame.
Bull once visited Ericsson and invited
him TO his concert. Ericsson refused
on the ground that he had no time for
such folly. Each time Bull came to
New York he visited his old friend and
never forgot to invite him to his con-
certs. His invitations were MANY
times refused because the inventor
pleaded no time.
eff you don't come to hear me once"
said Bull during one of his visits, Il
will take my violin along and play for
you right here in your workshop
''lf you bring your violin here I'll
smash it to bits" was EricssOn's ONLY
answer.
Nothing daunted Bull. He was
bound to try what effect his music. that
had entertained so many, would have
upon such an earnest and practica:
man as Ericsson, who had been cooped
up all his life. one might say, in his
workshop. One bright day Bull went
to EricssOn's house with his precious
violin, but not without some misgi:.
ings as to how his visit would termi-
nate, for he knew that Ericsson was a
determined man and generally meant
what he said. When he entered the
inventors workshop he was greeted
in any thing but a friendly manner
Without allowing f lesson an oppOr-
tunity to blow off his wrath on him
Bull opened the conversation in the
easy, fascinating way for which he
was noted. upon the viOlin's cOnstruc-
ton, what it lacked, etc. and finally
asked Ericsson his opinion as to the
best sounding woods for the manufact-
uring of violins. This was followed
by quite discussion as tC the acoustic
properties of the violin. To illus
trate one of his opinions, Bull
drew the bow across the strings
of his violin. From one chord
he went to another until he broke
into a heightened melody. The
workmen laid aside their tools and
listened with Ericsson to the grand
master of the violin. All stood spell
bound. Bull became enamored of his
own playing and made his violin utter
tones that iG had never been called on
before to emit. After awhile he ceased
to play. Ericsson, who had been sit
ting lost in his own emotions, with
tears coursing down his cheeks, cried
out:

CARTOONlST KEPPLER.
The Early Struggles and Later Successes
of the Famous Artist.

The Early Struggles and Later Successes
of the Famous Artist.
Joseph Keppler, the great cartoonist.
who is inseparably associated with the
growth of caricature in America, was
born in Vienna about fifty years ago.
His father was fancy baker. and the
boy fostered a love of art from orna-
menting wedding and birthday cakes
with quaint and curious designs He
then made copies of fine costume plates,
which he offered for sale. and subse-
Iuently drew for the comic German
papers. Finding this did not pay, he
Joined a dramatic troupe and assumed
1T will the role of tragedian and COM
slian. The company foundered, and
he became prestidigitateur, doing the
accomplice and assistant act. About
1869, feeling the country too small for
him, he came to America, settling in
St. Louis Most of his time was spent
in making designs for photographers,
but he was too ambitious for that work,
and induced some friends to aid him in
establishing the German Puck. st. Louis
was poor city for such a paper, and
the venture lived but few months.
Thwarted but not discouraged. Keppler
came to New York in 1872 His genius
was at once recognized, and he and
Matt Morgan drew cartoons on Leslie's
in opposition to Mast on Harper's. He
remained with Leslie until 1876, when,
in company with A. Schwartzman, he
revived the German Puck, the English
edition of which appeared the follow
ing March. Keppler was not mistaken,
and the paper was an assured success
almost from the start. Puck has been
father to the whole younger genera

owners.

one as dashing. brilliant man. He is

Intelligence Of Beavers.

The intelligence of the beaver is
proverbial, says correspondent OF
the St. James Gazette. ''but it may not
be general y known that if a steel trap
is left visible in one of his runs he will
deliberately spring it with stick; but
if it is so artfully covered with snow or
leaves that he steps on it unwarily. he
will twist round and round till the limb
is severed. It is only under water that
a steel trap will hold beaver, and then
because he browns before he can twist
himself free. I once caught a beavers
foot in this wa, and some weeks after
ward another trapper caught three
footed animal in a dead-fall. This was
evidently my beaver, SO | bought his
skin and eventually brought it to Lon
