skobeleff's Revenge.

1 During the Russo-Turkish war,
says Archibald Forbes in Nineteenth
Century, the day after the passage OF
the Danube had been made good, the
Emperor of Russia crossed the river TO
congratulate and thank his gallant
soldiers. In front of the long, massive
line formed on the slope below Sistova,
awaiting the coming of the great
White Gar, stood Drauomirog,
Yolchine and Skobelef-the three
Generals who had been the leaders Of
the successful attempt. Dragomiroff,
the Divisional Commander, the En-
peror embraced and gave him the
Cross Of st. George; he shook hands
warmly with Yolchinc, the Brigade
Commander, and gave him, too, a st.
George to add TO the decorations
which this CHEEKY little warrior had
been gathering from boyhood in the
Caucasus and Central Asia.
Then the Emperor strobe TO where
Skobeleff stood, and men watched the |
little scene with interest, for it was
notorious that Skobeleff was in dis
favor with his sovereign, and yet of

v5 given last week by Mr.. Geo. ID.
PItton. The press accounts state
hsl one experiment was the melting
/into liquid form bar of steel an inch
in diameter and II inches long, in 40
seconds, without the temperature of
the room being raised a single degree
from its normal condition. Another
thing shown was the making Of a
steel railroad spike. The bar was cut
into the required length, the pieces
passed through the electrical machine,
where one end was heated, and then
20 a die, which shapes the head on to
thc heated end, the point being COM
pressed into shape without heating.
Another exhibit was the forming of
an auger screw, the fat bar of iron
being fastened in the machine at the
two ends and heated almost instantly, |
and then twisted into the required |
spiral by the automatic turn Of the
machine. These experiments were
