Punching Steel and Iron.

According to paper read before the
Engineers club, of Philadelphia, on the
proper limit of thickness to steel which
may be punched, the statement is made
that the thicker the steel the greater the
damage caused by such an operation.
Recent tests made to determine this
matter are declared to indicate that
punching Injuries steel less than iron up
to, say, three-quarters Of an inch in
thickness, at which point the two ma.
terials are about equal in this respect,
and beyond this poin5 the value of steel
after punching decreases quite rapidly
as the thickness increases; il iron the
percentage seems to be much more con-
slant.
The character Of the fracture after
punching is also found TO be materially
affected by the thickness of the mate
rial. In view Of these circumstances, it
is proposed to limit to one-half inch the
thickness of the metal subjected to
punching, excepting in the cases of
girders of more than fifty feet in length,
when it may be nine-sixteenths of an
inch; in top cords and end posts, five
eighths of an inch, and in shoes, pedes-
tails and bed plates, three-quarters of
an inch.-New York Sun.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
A womnn's Chance Receipt of Tidings of
Her Kin In Kamciiatka.

Her Kin In Kamcltatka.
More than half century ago William
Tolman sailed on whaling ship bound
for the northern seas. Tho ship was dis.
abled and put into Kamchatka for re.
pairs. Mr.. Tolman was master mo-
chapic, and so well pleased were the
inhabitants with his work Of repairing
the disabled ship that the authorities of
the place induced him to stay. A few
years after he married Russian girl.
by whom he had daughter and two
sons. When the daughter was eleven
years old her father sent her to America
on whaler in charge of the captain.
The ship put into the port of New Lon.
don, Conn, and the captain sent word
to the girls relatives in western New
York, who came to Now London by
team and took her to thoir home. After
ward she, with relatives, came to Michi-
gan.
The girl grew to womanhood, married
an Episcopal clergyman named Dunn
and settled down i'll Lawrence, Kan.
For fifty years Mrs. Dunn never heard
word from her parents in faraway
kanchatka. One day about year
ago she CHANGED to speak to Russian
in the streets of Lawrence, and was sur-
prised when the subject of the czar said
he once knew William Tolman, her
father, and two brothers. He said that
Mr.. Tolman was dead, but that the sons
wore alive, but very poor. One Of them,
he told her, was a trapper.
The Russian gave Mrs. Dunn their
address and she wrote to them, sending
them clothing and many useful pres.
entS. In due time shc got letter from
ono brother. the first for over fifty years.
The letter was passed around among
the relatives. Yesterday w. T. Hess,
of this city, got u letter, written in Rus
sian, from one of the Tolman brothers
in Kanchatka. Not being IL Russian
scholar he went ont of his store to find
some one to translate il. He esped a
street faEir, and lie asked him if he
could read the letter. The fakir looked
at it and replied, YES, sir; it is Rus
sian and from Kamchatka.' lie trana.
lated the letter for Mr.. Hess
'Hercis the funny part Of the whole
thing" said Mr.. Hess. Mrs. Dunn
learned of her relatives through n Rus
sian on the street in Lawrence, Kan,
and had one of Eer brothers letters
translated by n Russian found on the
street in Grand Rapids. The William
Tolman who sailed ON the whaler was
my uncle, for whom l was named. Fun
ny how we get news from relatives
sometimes" continued Mr. Hess. -

A Theory About Man,s RearL.

There is theory favored by the disci-
Piles Of Darwin that the beard is merely
the survival of primitive decoration.
Man, according to this view, was orig
inally ss hairy as the opossum itself, but
as he rolled down the ages he wore the
har of in patches by sleeping on his
sides and sitting against tree. OF
course the hair of the dog is not worn off
in this way, but great theory is not to
be set aside by an objection SO trifiing.

consciousness that they We're patchy and
sposty," and resolving to "live DOWN

with remarkable unanimity seem to
have fixed on the eyebrows, the mus.
tache and unfortunately, as the self
scrapers mostly think-the beard as be-
ing all that was worth preserving of the
primitive covering. English Illustrated

Snap Shots at Royalty,

King George is to AK what the Prince
of Wales is 20 Homberg. He is remarka-
bio for extreme assurance, tempered
with reserve, and wears his hat slightly
on the side of his head as he strides
along the streets, looking straight at
people rs if to invite them to get ont of
his way. He is an habitue Of the casino
and the cardrooms. On alighting from
his carriage yesterday number of pho
tographers ran up to take snap shots at
him.
Seeing this the king good naturedly
stopped and "stood fire" turning his
face toward them. On returning TO his
carriage when the visit was over he did
the same, saying aloud when he thought
they ought to have done, "Ca y est dts
all right, is 1t not!)-a remark that elic.
tied great laughter.-London News.

The most powerful electric locomo.
tivcs yet used are two Of the London
Underground railway Each locomo-
tive, according to Il description of Mr..
Alexander Siemens, carries two motors.
and the use Ct all gearing is obviated by
winding the armatures of the motors on
the axlcs Of the locomotive wheels.
Tests of tho four motors before they
were fitted to their places gave from
forty to fifty horsepower each for three
Of them-the other being much more
powerful-Gnd eMciencies of about 90 to
W per cent.
Each locomotive fully equipped weighs
1875 tons, and its unloaded train weighs
twenty one tons, a full load being ninety
six passengeTs. The average power Of
each locomotive requires q current of
not more than fifty amperes, although
in starting as much as 140 amperes must
be had.-Ohio State journal.

l heard Bill Stone plead his first case.
1t was good many years ago--more
than twenty anyway. DO not remem-
Der the name of the judge, but notori-
GUS horse thief was up for trial on a
charge of stealing cattle. As he had no
counsel the court appointed Bill Stone
to defend the case. Stone took his man
over to window and talked to him for
few minutes, then announced that he
was ready for trial. "We plead guilty,
your honor, to the charge against u.s."
announced the young lawyer. The court
wasted no time in giving verdict, for
horse stealing was a heinous offense in
those days in this part Of the country,
and condemned the man to fifteen years
in the penitentiary.
But, judge, we plead guilty!' yelled
Stone, expressions of amazement and
disappointment alternating on his face.
Fifteen years." repeated the judge.
But, judge, we plead guilty" re-
peated Bill Stone, raising his long arms
like windmills. But the Judge was OBJ
durate.
'If that is the case.' said Stone, "we
will argue the case" and he forthwith
started in upon the defense. For thirty
minutes he argued and pleaded with that
eloquence that is characteristic of him,
and at the end Of his harangue he sat
down and watched the effect of his
words. The judge smiled and made the
sentence five years. Bill Stone had won
his first case.-Kansas City Times.

TIE DEATH OF TOMMY.
Virginia Hospitality Could Not 10 Dis
regarded Too Lightly.

/
| regarded Too Lightly.
The south has always been known for
its hospitality, and nowhere has this
quality been more rcligiously main
tanned than in Virginia. Unfortunately
! the war made sad havoc with the Vir-
ginian's resources, but his old time open
/ heartedness has never altered.
Some years ago friend of mine trav-
cling in the lower portion of that state
stopped for n few hours with old ac-
quaintances and remained for tea. An
occasion of this kind in Virginia calls
invariably for the favorite dish Of the
south-fried chicken.
Alas! there was but one young chicken
on the place, and that one pct. 1t had
been left an orphan by its mother Mt n
very early age, and, like Pip in Charles
Dickens "Great Expectations, had been
brought up by hand. Tho children
called it Tommy, and were very fond OF
it, whilo Tommy In turn was attached
to the children.
The matter was very serious one,
and family consultation was held.
Virginia hospitality could not be lightly
disicgarded, and it was decided that
poor Tommy must become the sacrifice.
My friend Of course knew nothing of
the tragedy that was being enacted for
his comfort, and when tea was served
regarded the plate of nicely Drowned
chicken with contemplative JOY.
Soon. however, he became aware that
something was amiss. An air of silent
sorrow pervaded the little family group
usually 80 gay, and the children took
nothing on their plates. The chicken
was passed, bat with the exception of
my friend no one partook. Selecting
juicy looking drumstick, he fixed it
with his fork, and cutting off a choice
bit conveyed it to his mouth.
At this there was sudden and heart
breaking howl from one of the little
boys, "Oh, mamma, mamma, he's eating
up our Tommy"
Thereupon the other children mingled
their voices in wild wailing, nnd the
older members burst into uncomfortable
laughter in which. rs the truth dawned
upon him, my friend joined.
Then there came explanations, more
laughter and tears, and adjustments all
around.
Poor Tommy could not be restored to
life, but he was buried under big apple
tree with appropriate ceremonies.-Al

Four Methods OF Preserving.

or the four principal manners of pre-
serving food in use today drying and
curing (the latter term including sailing,
smoking and antiscptic processes) are not
modern, while timing and freezing are
entirely new. Timing dates nominally
from 1901, when Appert made the first
attempts at inclosing food in hermetical-
ly closed boxes, but IL long course Of
trials and improvements had to be gone
through before the excellence of today
was obtained. Dried vegetables were
introduced by Chollet in 1915, but the
products of that period We're miserable

Isee thee pine like her in golden story
Who in her prison, woke and saw one day
The gates thrown open-saw the sunbeams
play,
With only web tween her and summer s
glory;
Who, when that web-so frail, so transitory,
II broke before her breath--had fallen away,
Saw other webs and others rise for aye
Which kept her prisoned till her hair was
hoary.

Could thy rare spirits wings have pierced

4 EalI of Eiro Makes u Visit.

n very singular story is told concern
ing the vagaries of one mass Of globe
lightning. a tailor in tho Rue st.
jacques, in The neighborhood of the Val
de Grace, was getting his dinner one
day during a thunderstorm when he
heard loud clap, and soon the chimney
board fell down, and globe of fire as
big rs /! child's head came ont quietly
and moved slowly about the room at a
small height above the floor. The spec
tator, III conversation aftcrward with
NJ Babbinet. of the Academic des
Sciences, said il looked like good sized
kitten rolled up into ball and moving
without showing its paws. 1t was bright
and shining, yet he felt no sensation of
heat. Tie Is 'oOe came near his feet, but
by moving them gently aside be avoided
the contact.
After trying several excursions in diff
fercnt directions it rose vertically to the
height OF his head-which he threw
back to prevent ii touching him
stored toward hole in the chimney
above the mantelpiece, and made its
way into the flue. Shortly afterward-
"when lie supposed it had had time to
reach the top the tailor said-there
was dreadful explosion. which de-
stroyed the upper part Of the chimney
and threw the fragments on to the roofs
of some adjoining buildings. which they
broke through. h."-Chambers Journal.

observations with the greatest tele-
