The Manufacture of Wire.

The manufacture of wire as now car
ried out may be briefly and concisely
stated, and consists in alternating or re-
duction in section thin rods of the metal
under manipulation by drawing them
cold through holes in draw plate. usu-
ally made of hard steel The wire draw
ers bench is furnished with horizontal
cylinder, driven by steam or other power,
on which the wire is wound after leav-
ing the draw plate. The holes in the
draw plate are arranged in decreasing
diameters, and fine wire may require
some twenty or thirty drawings ere it is
reduced to the size desired.
Much friction is generated in the pro-
cess, notwithstanding the use Of lubri-
cants, and "annealing" is necessary to
counteract the brittleness produced in
the wire. Where great accuracy is re-
quisite the wire is drawn through rubies
or other hard stones in the draw plate.
The speed of the drawing cylinder is in
creased as the diameter of the wire di-
nlinishes.
Much confusion has existed in regard
to the gauges of wires, no fewer than
fifty-five different gauges being men,
toned by recent writer, of which forty
FIVE were for measuring and determining
the size of wire as made and sold within
the United Kingdom. The Whitworth
gauge, introduced in 1857 by Sir Joseph
Whitworth, and the Birmingham wire
gauge B. w. g. have been extensively
employed. In 1884 an imperial standard
wire gauge became law, and consti-
tutes the legal gauge of this country. 1t
ranges from half an inch to one-thou-
sandth of an inch in dismeter.-Cha

Well, a Boston actress crossed on the
steamer with the man mentioned above,
sailing from East Boston in the early
summer. She sat at the captains table.
and was so pretty as TO attract the ad.
miring attention of every one ON board.
The fact had its penalties. She was in
iusty health, and her appetite reflected
the bracing effects of the sea air on her
fine physique. AT every meal she called
for every dish on the bill of fare. The

Yucatan,s Giant .skeeters. :,

'.The largest mosquitoes in the world

ard Beverly. "Until few years ago
there was not a mosquito in all Mexico.
They were introduced by vessels from
the United States, and have in the land
of their adoption attained proportions
unknown in other countries. The low
lands of Yucatan swarm with monster
mosquitoes whose bite is almost rs pain
ful as the sting of bee. The historical

Senator Proctor Says it Would Not Have
Happened Had There Been Army Off
GERS on the Ground
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Iu tho Senate
to-day the Indian appropriation bill was
taken up and the discussion on the subject of
army officers being assigned to the duties of
Indian agents was resumed. Mr.. Pettigrew
opposed the proposition as a step backward
and argued that army officers did not pos
sess the necessary qualities and were not ia
miliar with the business.
Some of the points made by Mr.. Petit
grew were replied to by Mr. Proctor, par
ticularly one to the troubles at Pine
Ridge. If there had been three or four
army officers ut the Pine Ridge agency, Mr..
Proctor believed, these troubl es would not
have occurred there, and the millions of
money and the lives lost there would have
been saved.
A assertion on the policy OF the country
followed on the part of Mr.. PETER. The
discussion was continued by Mr.. Hawley,
who favored the proposition and by Mr..
Henderson, who expressed his belief that
with army officers as Indian agenrs, the era
of bad blankets, shoddy clothing and rancid
bacon would be at end.
The discussion, which lasted over two
hours, was closed by Mr.. Dawes, chairman
of the committee on Indian AFFAIRS who lad
charge Of the bill, in an argument against
the House provision as being a radical
change in the administration of the Indian
service, change sprung up by single
,uember of the House and which had not
received the sanction of any exective officer.

Last saturday this Nadeau, who is now

had been selling him spruce gum, which
he had procured mp in the woods some
where.
The sheriff asked some questions Mr..
Iiurlburt told him that Nadeau had a
rifle which he carried when ne went off
on his trips to the eastward. The last
time he went away was Just about a week

He remarked That he was going TO Fort

the explosion was so terrific that all OF
The brick structures in the immediate
neighborhood were shaken. Thick plate
glass windows were shivered into spin

the people for several blocks around, and

houses were about to fall. In the vicinity
Of where the explosion occurred live the
Rev. Lyman Abbott, pastor Of the Plym
outh church, General Horatio G.. King
and ex-Mayor Daniel o. Whitney. The

Their first theory was that the bomb was
not intended for Mr.. Reicbnagle, but 70,
neighbOr, John McDermott, who rs
believed to have incurred the enmitv OF
recently discharged convict s;ssss;s;g7
The police authorities do not think the
bomb was exploded with malicious intent.
There is every indication, however, that
the explosive used in the construction OF
the bomb was either nitro glycerine or
dynamite. The action was downward and
the cobble stone on which the bomb rested
was shattered and pulverized. The To-
cality where the disturbance occurred is
remarkably quiet place at all hours of the
day and night. The perpetratcr of the
outrage is supposed to be man who
