devoid of striking incidents, and not in re-
proa h. but in genuine admiration OF mind
so high above the storm and stress Of mod
ern life, can be fifty applied to her the term
old-fashihned.
Miss Ingeiow had been for some years
known as poet before her first prose work.
a novel called "Oa the Skelligs," appeared.
As the first prose work OF writer whose
reputation in another line was already
made. 1t excited more than ordinary inter-
est and was found so far above the average
that 1t would have made q name for the
author on its own merits alone. But the
poetic vein is distinctly visible throughout
the story. and it is specially to be noted in
the exquisite descriptions of scenery, as
well as in the graphic account OF the burning
ship and the rescue OF the passengers.
''Fated TO Be Free is a. sequel to "Off the
Skelligs," and in it we have the history of a
family Swallowed by the blight of some
mysterious misfortune. "Mopsa, the Fairy"
a story for children. is one of the brightest
and most poetieal of Miss Iugelow's prose
works, but with many of her devoted adj
mirer Sarah de Berenger" and Don
John" are the favorites.

Robinson's Circus.

A curious effect is noticed after visiting a
circus.
1t is the ability of the eyes to see four or
five ways at once.
This is certainly the effect after visiting
John Robnson's circus which opened last
night at Central Park.
Few people require to be told that the cir
Gus has come to town.
Every family that possesses n small boy,
or knows a small boy. has been informed Of
the fact long ago.
All that remains to be told is the embar-
rassment of riches contained in this COM
pendulum OF delights for both small boy and
his elders.
For who Is too old for the circus?
As for that difficulty of seeing four ways
at once, John Robinson has recipe for
that which shall be mentioned later.
Yet il certainly is difficult to appreciate
the man in nidar upon wheel. to which
bis feet are apparently glued, as he whirls
like Ixion through space. and at the same
time pay attention to the daring equestrian
feats of Miss Minnie Forepaugh or Miss
Dyr,att.
1'nere are two rings within the big ring
and between them are arrangements for all
kinds Of trapeze-work, ladder-scaling and
balancing.
The band plays and from every chair
around the vast arena an individual gazes
wrapt in expectancy.
Last night, during the earlier part of the
performances the big tent was filled with
smoke, but this quickly cleared away.
There appeared to be something for every
BODY.
For those who like TO see good riding
there were innumerable races, and the fat
little ponies seemed to enjoy 1t as much as
the big horses.
Anyway the children saw that the ponies
received as much applause as their clever
ness in jumping over obstacles, firing can
mons, wheeling and racing deserved.
l. But the clowns ran the ponies pretty close
in the applause line.
The tumblng. cutting, even the jokes
may have not been absolutely new to some
OF tue elders, but who WAS too cali0us to

first year of publication four editions Of
1000 copies each were sold, and the young
author at once stepped into the front rank.
NO living writer has ever been less spoiled
by success than Miss Ingelow. She is as
simple and retiring now in her quiet home
In London as she was before her pure and
beautiful thoughts found expression in
equally beautiful form and the much
coveted name of poet" was bestowed upon
her by common consent.
Her first volume has been republished so
often that 1t has now reached its twenty
sixth edition. Miss lngelow's poems are too
well known to need comcient or criticism
here. Whey go straight TO the hearts Of her
readers because they come straight from

stances read their own story between the

In consequence Of the success of her first
work a London publisher made an application
for any future work from Miss Ingelow's pen,

Coating Iron with Conner.

A process has been introduced for pro-
tecting steel and iron by means OF coating
of copper. When the invention was fist
made it was applied to the construction of
telegraph wires, but since then further de-
yelopments of the process have enabled 1t
to be employed III the manufacture OF COM
poste ship plates. The method employed
is similar to that Of the old silver lating
process. in which plates of the two metals
were rolled together without any chemira al
or electrolytic means being employed. A
short copper iDgot is cast on a core OF iron
or steel; the copper is shorter than the core
and not placed symmetrically, but SO dis
posed toward one end that the unequal
travel Of the coating. when afterward ex-
tended by rolling, may be compensated for.
Save for the provision Of special growing OF
the rollers 10 prevent the formation OF fins
OF the softer metal, the subsequent opera
tons are conducted in the ordinary way.
Advantage is taken.of the retention of heat
by the steel core to diminish the excessive
ductility OF the copper by chilling the cover
ing. When the pOrosity Of the coat of cop
per and the difficulty OF obtaining perfect
adherence is overcome the process will be-
come a commercial success.

laugh when the big policeman came in to
arrest the chalk-faced comedians and was
fooled?
There was some specially good riding
and driving in the various rings, the spe-
cialties were more than creditable, and the
sidesh0ws, which are all included in the adj
mission, were worthy of the management.
Among the latter may be specially mem
toned the girl snake-charmer and the wild
animals.
AS for John Robinson's recipe to meet the
difficulty of seeing everything at once. it
is very simple.
1t is to come to his circus not once but
many times, until all its attractions are ex-
hauSted.

Miss Ingelow never went TO school. Her
education was carried on at home by her

extremely shy and sensitive. her childhood

the age al which the majority OF girls con-
slider themselves grown up.
Indeed, writing seems to have been from
a very early age one OF her greatest pleas
ures. While on visit TO some friends in
Essex she and some Of her young compan-
ions wrote number of short stories aud
sent them 10 a publication of the day called

The Effect of the Circus on the Attendance at

this only escaped meagerness of attend,

1t is, without doubt, unfair to apply the
closest rules of criticism to this work, as the
people engaged had been subjected 10
severe. long and constant rehearsals, all OF
yesterday being consumed in the task.
They, therefore, bore the evidences Of
fatigue. Two or three presentations before
the public will be necessary ere its merits
can be properly canvassed. and during this
time Mr.. Grsmer will probably find his
play open TO correction in many par
