Another Mckinley strike.

F. G. Nledringhaus, OF 81. Louis. is q
is proprietor of tin stamping works. 1t
was he who, during the discussion of the
Mckinley bill. urged the increase of
duties on certain articles and the lowering
of them on certain others because, as be
stated, lit would benefit his business. -
He is also the msn whom the high tax
organs are quoting so freely to prove that
the American tin plate industry is already
grand success. Last Wednesday morn
ing 500 men employed in Mr.. Nedring-
hause's factory struck because be refused
TO allow fair scale Of wages. They are
liable to stag out, too. unless they yield
and accept the reduced wages be offers
This is a fair sample OF the "benefit"
the American workingmsn gets out of
protection. Mr.. Niedringhau voted for
the Mckinley bill. While that measure
was before congress he made great
many speeches in its favor. During the
campaign which followed its passage be
made a great many more. The chief
burden of them al was the great good
the laboring classes of the country were
to- receive from its passage. Wages
would be better, employment more plen-
tiful. Every workingmsn in America
would have good cause to sing loud the
praises of McKinleyisn and the g. o. p.
This strike OF 800 OF his own men
proves the Dcerity of his words. The
sincerity OF every profession made by the
e. OPP. to the lsboring men Of America
is exactly on par with it. The high
takers care little more for the American
workingmen than they care for the Hot
tentots Of Africa it is true, as the Bur.
lington Gazette accurately puts 1t. The
Hottentots can't vote. But when this is
said all is said. The millionaire monop-
olists OF the Carnegie Gould Niedring.
haus brand have the pull with the g p.
What they say goes when 1t comes down
TO business. The working men gets 81
the promises, the miliionaires all the fat
The latter will not even allow the former
the smallest share of the pudding. AS
Mr.. Niedringhaus has shown, they will
suffer them TO strike first and then fill
their places with others whose necessities
compel them to work for the reduced
pay.

A CLEVER TRICK.

The secret lies mainly in the manner of
holding the glass. Instead of grasping it
as if you were about to drink, take it with
the palm outward and upward las shown
in the diagram at the upper corner). Swing
the arm boldly around and describe a
circle without pause, but without exces-
sive haste, in the direction shown by the
arrows in the illustration. The glass will
be found when it has completed the circle
to be held in the hand in the manner repre-
scented by the remaining figure of the cut.
This is the position in which it is to be re-
placed on the table. BY beginning with
the glass half filled with water and in
creasing the quantity as skill improves,
one will be able after a little practice to
perform the experiment easily. 1t is de-
sirable TO make the first attempts in the
open air. An important point to observe
Is that there should be no hesitation or un-
evenness in the circular motion.

While insect products are not numerous
in comparison with the number of insects,
of which there are nearly 100000 species
known, there are several of great CONNER
cial value. The silkworm is the most use
full of insects, furnishing the world an an
nual product of immense value. The
yearly value Of the cochineal produce runs
to millions, while many of the gums
brought from the east are produced by the
insects piercing the banks of certain trees,
and thus causing the emulation. The
quantity of honey annually stored up by
bees amounts to many millions of pounds,
and the wax is almost equally valuable
Gallnuts, from which a valuable kind of
ink is made, are caused by insects, while
more than one kind is used in medicine
In some parts of Asia and Africa a large
share OF the peoples food is supplied by
the swarms of locusts, so that the insect
world really contributes largely both to the
comfort and luxury of mankind.

The Life of Submarine Gables

A hard and fast law as to the life of
cable cannot be laid down, for the duration
of the sheatEing wires is governed 10y more
than one element. The quality of the gal
vanizing, the presence or absence of such
protection as compound tapes, or hemp.
and the physical and chemical nature of
the bottom, are considerations which must
be taken into account Submarine cables
may have life of more than ten years
They can be successfully repaired at even a
considerably greater age. There are now
in existence and in working order about
1900 knots OF cables, having a life of fifteen
years and over; of this amount some p. OOe
knots are twenty years (and over of age
There are several instances of cables now
working over twenty-five years old, but
these are principally lines of unimportant
lengths, and lying in shallow water. The
cables we have cited, says The Electrical
Review, are laid in all portions of the
globe, and submerged in all sorts of depths;
and although the companies owning them
have spent, and are prepared to expend
considerable sums in repairs, we do not
think that the complete renewal of each
section every ten years has entered into
their calculation. Present experience would
lead us to allot to submarine cables laid
under favorable conditions an average life
of from thirty to forty years, but, as before
stated, no hard and fast figure can be given.

Oliver Goldsmith as "a Married Man.

Pail Mall Budget tells that while rum
maging among the parochial archives of
Islington Mr.. Edward Davey, clerk of the
guardians, has found an old book which
gives some interesting facts about the IA
nous metropolitan district as it existed at
the beginning Of the present century.
Among other things it contains the census
return for lslington in 1901. The parish is
described as "a merry village adjacent to
London, and favorite resort for its citi-
zens," and the population is given as TO-
12l. Now its inhabitants number 35s. COO
Another entry in the curious volume has
raised startling controversy among local
antiquaries. The genial Oliver Goldsmith
is generally supposed to have lived and
died a bachelor. In Isiington another ira
dition exists. 1t is to the effect that not
only had Oliver a little habtatiou there,
where he spent a good deal of his time but
by his neighbors he was regarded as a re-
spectacle married citizen. In the recently
found book occurs the name of Mary Oil
via Goldsmith, and it is stated that this
was none other than the poets daughter.

CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.

Simple but Interesting Feat which
illustrates a Great Natural Law.
You may often see at the circus or else
where juggler place glass of water in a
hoop and whirl it rapidly round and round
till it makes you giddy to look at it, with
out drop of the water escaping. The feat
is based, as most people are aware, on the
action of centrifugal force.
Here is a method of performinga similar
feat, not less startling, with the glass of
water alone, no other apparatus being en-
ployed. The glass standing before you on
the table, you are to take it in your hand to
describe with it, at arms len.;th, COM
plete circle in the air and to replace it on
the table without having spilled single
drop of the LIQUID.

When a Eelt Jumps on a Pulley.

II does make = tremendous racket, to say
nothing of destruction of property and
danger to life, when belt jumps off a
pulley and proceeds to wind itself down
around the shaft. A belt has no business
to jump Off the pulley, and will not do it if
properly proportional for the load it is to
carry, well taken care of and not over
loaded. Still, these conditions are hard TO
be met, and where a supply of prevention
has become exhausted "a few pounds Of cure
musd be used A tin tube running loose

1t Was PRETTY Hot Day, bat He Got

There was Il young and harmless look

when along came a very respectable

bench beside him with great jar. and
gasped out;
''Oh, Lord. but it's hot,'
Yes, rather warm" answered the
other.

"Well, it's an even hundred, anyway"
Put up Your money! It's ten to five
it isn't hundred"
May not be quite that, but it's 95,"
growled the very respectable as he famed
himself with his hat
Ten to five that it isn't!' calmly re-
piled the young man as he held out the
money.
"Well, it's 80, and I'll bet $1,000 on
it!' shouted the other
Even ten that it isn't 90r'
The very respectable had twenty
seven separate ard distinct rivulets run
ming down his back as he turned and
looked the young man over, and finally
said:
Perhaps there's a foot of snow on the
ground, and the Hudson river is frozen
