In 172s Samuel Higley, of Simsbury, and
Joseph Dewey, of Hebron, in Hartford
county, Conn, represented to the legisla-
ture that the said Higley had, with great
pains and cost found out and obtained
curious art by which to convert, change or
transmute common iron into good steel
sufficient for any use, and was the first
that ever performed such an operation in
America"
Swank gives on the authority of Mr..
Charles J. Hoadly, librarian of the Con-
necticut State library, certificate, signed
by Timothy Phelps and John Drake, black
smiths, which states that, in June, 1725,
Mr.. Higley obtained from the subscribers
several pieces of iron, SO shaped that they
could be known again. and that few
days later she brought the same pieces
which we let him have, and we proved
them and found them good steel, which
was the first steel that ever was made in
this country that we ever saw or heard Of"
A patent was granted Higley and Dewey
for ten years, provided "the petitioners
improve the art to any good and reasona-
BILE perfection within two years from the
date of this act" They do not appear to
have done this, or to have continued the
business of making steel.-W. r. Durfee

How Insects Produce rhe,r Sounds.

While the notes of insects are among the
loudest, and supposed by many to come
from the mouth, they are in reality instru-
mental - in other words, produced by
various musical instruments with which
nature has endowed them, yet to some ex-
tent they correspond to the voice of other
animals, the sounds and calls being an
swered by Others of their kind. When the
grasshopper wishes to hail some compan-
ion or talk to his fellow over the hedge it
simply rubs its thighs against the fore
wings, or plays upon veritable fiddle. II
the leg of the musician is examined under
a microscope ridge of very fine teeth will
be seen-the sound producers
The loudest players are the locusts, that
often make the woods sound with their
calls Sometimes all are playing or chat
tering at once. Again there will be lull
in the conversation. Then one will begin,
the note will be taken up by another, and
finally volume of sounds blend and fill
the air. a1
In the former case we had a fiddler
Here the musician is drummer, which
we may prove by examining the locust.
The base of the anterior wing is transpar-
ent, forming regular drum, with which
the males utter their calls, and as there
are mary different species, so there are
many different calls, and some, it is said,
have certain calls for the night and others
for the daytime.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Where Embroidery Is Made.

In 1890 St. Gall sent out to the world
near S., 000 900 worth of embroidery. Half
of that came to this country to adorn the
petticoats and so forth of American wom-
en-. In early times embroidery was made
by hand and it was worth it's weight in
gold. The knowledge of the craft spread
through Appenzell. Thurgass and St. Gall,
three cantons of the Alps country. A
great industry grew. The technical skill
and readiness of hand of the Appenzell
women were marvellous, and gradually
the exquisite embroidery made by them
became famous all over the world. Very
many thousands of the people are engaged
wholly in the skilled business. Girls were
trained to it from early childhood. At
that time all the beautiful work was done
with the hand and in the peoples homes.
More than half a century ago the hand
machine was introduced, and that rapidly
changed the whole situation. Today pos
sibly not per cent. of the embroideries
are made exclusively by hand, and these
only of special articles, fine and expensive
The hand machine was soon in the houses
of half the peasants, and factories were
founded, where many machines were col
lected and worked, but still by hand power
only. The character of the work was then
and remains now excellent, but the pro.
duction was comparatively slow. The prof
its were usually large to the dealers, but
the embroiderer barely made a good living,
as it was always necessary for him to pay
an assistant known as the "threader' to
help work his machine.-Washington Cor.

An 1nertinguishable ship Lamp.

An invention having for its object
the steady maintenance of the illumi-
mating power in ships side and headlights
is of supreme Importance and interest to
shipowners. Such lamp has been
specially designed that is guaranteed to
maintain its light in the teeth of a hurrf-
cane. Its main feature is an inner front
casing, holding still inner plain glass
lens, the upper portion of the case being
continued with bend to form q shield
under the inner mouth of the funnel be-
tween it and the light. Any wind blow
ing down the funnel strikes this shield
plate and is thereby detected through the
lamp between the cases of the outer and in
ner lenses and finds vent at the bottom of
the lamp.
The DETECTION serves the double purpose
of diverting the wind from the flame and
keeping the outer colored lens cool-free-
ing it entirely from the risk of being
cracked when splashed by shipped seas, as
other lenses are, owing to their heated sur
face. In experiments the lamp has been
blown upon by strong blast, passing
through 5-inch pipe from fan driven
at speed of about $500 revolutions per
minute, the light remaining unaffected,
while an ordinary signal lamp was imme-
diately blown out under a far less severe
test. 1t has been blown upon from beneath
when the blast was so strong as to necessi-
tate the lamp being held to prevent its be-
ing blown away. It has been played upon
with hose with the top Of the lamp open;
it has been immersed in water to depth
of ten feet, and subjected to all manner of
tests, but by none of these means could the
lamp be put out.-New York Telegram.

Dogs and Their Affections.

1t has often been mooted as a vexed
question why all men of genius or great
ness are SO fond of dogs. The reason is
not far to seek. Those who are great or
eminent in any way find the world full
of parasites, toadies, liars, fawners, hypo-
critics; the incorruptible candor, loyalty
and honor of the dog are to such like water
in barren place to the thirsty traveller.
The sympathy of your dog is unfailing
and unobtrusive. If you are sad, so is he;
and if you are merry, none is so willing to
leap md laugh with you as he.
For your dog you are never poor; for
your dog you are never old; whether
you are in palace or cottage he does
not care, and fall you as low as you may
you are his providence and his idol still.

An Old Expression.

Conspicuous by his Absence" an ex-
preston of considerable force. came into
prominence after having been used by
Lord John Russell in an address to the
electors of London. He was afterward
candid enough to admit that it was not an
original expression with him, but taken
from one of the historians of antiquity.
His confession led to classical research,
and the expression was found in the "An-
nails" of Tacitus From this author we
also have "God always favors the heaviest
battalions," an expression afterward used
by Terence, Voltaire and Sevigne.-Ph1''

why People Marve1 at Te,snatb ,

Nothing in nature is really abnormal. 1t
is most probable that a power to influence
the minds of others, with a susceptibility
to be influenced by other minds, exists in
human beings universally, in a greater or
less degree. To the hypothesis, distracted
ly considered, that mind can act on mind
directly-that is, not only through no
known medium, but without any medium
whatever-I see no valid objection. The
action Of mind on body. and that of body
on mind, is far more mysterious than any
action of mind on mind. For it is com
paratively easy to understand that things
of the same kind can affect one another
directly. Yet to many persons mysteries
with which they are familiar seem to be
no mysteries at all; they wonder only at
that which is unusual, and marvel at tele-
pathic phenomena as savages at an eclipse

Like faces in a dream.

And dewy berries grow
Where modest flowers bloom unseen
And ripping waters glow;

And robins chant plaintive lay.
Where willow branches gnarled and bent
Do form tempting seat,

A carpet for the feet;
