Hardening Cast Iron.

Some Chicagoans have lately been con-
Quoting satisfactory experiments in hard
ening cast iron by new chemical process.
Briefly described, tho mode of procedure is
as follows: The iron Is put In furnace
and heated to the proper temperature,
when the chemical is put on the upper side
and goes right through it. so that when
cool the under side is as hard as the upper
side, and when broken the iron Is as hard
inside as outside.
No trouble is experienced in going
through six inches. and the chemical eau
probably 20 through any reasonable thick
ness In Chicago it is being used for hard
ening brick dies made of cast iron. where
as heretofore brick dies were necessarily
made of steel This is great saving, both
ia material and work. Another use is for

Frozen 5000 Feet Deep.

Mining and Scientific Press.
For many years scientists have
been perpleXed over the phenomena
of a certain we'll at Yakutsk, Siberia.
AS long ago as 1928 Russian mer-
chant began to sink this noted well,
and after working ON it for three
years, gave it up as bad job, having
at that time sunk it to depth of 80
feet without getting through the fro.
zen ground. He communicated this
fact to the Russian Academy of Sci
ence, which sent men to take charge
of the digging operations at the Won
derful well. These scientific gentle
men toiled away at their work for
several years, but abandoned it when
depth of $50 feet had been
reached, with the earth still
frozen as hard as rock. In
lS43 the academy had the tempera-
ture of the soil at the sides of the
well, taken at various depths. From
the data thus obtained they came to
the startling conclusion that the
ground was frozen to depth exceed
ing 5000 fest. Although it is known
to meteorologists that the lowest
known temperature is in that region
of Siberia, it is conceded that not
even that rigorous climate could force
frost to such a great depth below the
surface. After figuring on the SUBJ
ject for over quarter of a century,
biologists have at last come to the
conclusion that the great frozen val
ley of the Lena river was deposited,
frozen just as il is found today, during
the great grinding up era of the gla.
cial epoch.

A Paradise for RTramps.

New York Evening Posts
For long time Jamaica paper
has accused the authorities OF con-
Quoting the Jamaica Town Hall rs q
rendezvous for tramps. The news.
paper charges were SO persistenly
made that the Grand Jury was in
vestigate the matter. Sensational
discoveries were made. 1t was ascer-
tanned that over 5000 tramps has been
lods ed in the Town Hall during ten
months. In comparison with this 1t
was shown that in i've other towns
and in Long Island City less than
1000 had been lodged during the
same ten months. The Grand j ury
found that almost 10000 tramps with
in a year has been lodged and fed in
the Hall, and some idlers practically
lived there from November to April.
The county allows Boo night for
each tramp that is lodged and fed.
The ianitor of the Town Hall, q man
named Murphy, received 15c of this
money for bread and coffee, supplied
to each tramp. The overseer Of the
poor received sc tor each tramp for
recording their names. Ten cents per
tramp went to the town of Jamaica
for lodging. The tramps were al.
lowed to lie on the floor in the corri-
doris when the cells were occupied.
The whole tramp business has APP
parently been q bonanza. The JAM.
tor makes 12c profit on each tramp
for the food he supplied to the
tramps, and the overseer's SC
per tramp is all profit, as he
really has not to do any recording at
all, the janitor doing that work. The
town, it appears. also makes money
by the tramps, for the 10c 1t receives
per tramp Is nearly all profit. The
only expense is for coal in winter to
keep the place warm. The taxpayers
are the only ones, who suffer, and
they are now making objections. The
result of the business for the year is
follows: Ten thousand tramps per
year means $4,000 out of the pockets of
the taxpayers. OF this the janitor
gets $500 IA profit of $1,000, Pearsall,
$500 (all profit, and the town $1,000,
(about $3.50 profit.
The Grand Jury discovered that
Messrs. Pearsall, Murphy and con-
stable Smith have been sending the
tramps to Jail by the wagon load.
According to the story told by the
tramps, Murphy and PearsalI would
en- ter the town hall at Jamaica, pick
out ten or fifteen men who had been
dodgers for a week or SO, and tell
them they must go to the poor house,
on Barnum Island, for thirty days.
Barpum Island is a pleasant spot,
where the tramps have thirty days
recreation at the expense of the coun-
ty. Then they begin all over again
at the town hall in Jamaica. OF
course the expedient of sending them
to Barnum Island is necessary, for
room must be made for other tramps.
The taxpayers of Jamaica are very
indignant at the affair, and waiting
with anxiety the action of the board
of supervisors, which meets today by
order of the grand jury. In their pre-
sentiment, the grand jury stated that
the condition of affairs in the town
hall it Jamaica was scandalous and q
waste of public money, and com.
manded the board of supervisors to
stop the abuse.
