A SMART YOUNG POACHER.
How Cunning Lad Managed 4
Catch Rabbits Galore.


On property where the rabbit shoot
ing was strictly preserved, upon the
southern coast of England, a boy was
once caught With two dead rabbits in
his possession, and nothing else that
would account for their decease. A
search of his pockets revealed nothing
but two live crabs Of small dimensions.

matches. Under promise of release the
urchln was persuaded to disclose his
method of procedure
First he selected likely burroy and
then he stripped off his clothes. p11f-
ting his coat over one hole. his trousers
over another and his shirt over the
third. He lit the candle and droppeds
a little of the grease upon a crabs
back and stuck the lighted candle
thereon and then put the crab at an
unoccup1ed opening. Straightway the
frlghtened torch-bearer fed SIDEWAYS
into the darkness and explored the in
,nermost depths, while the boy. expect
ant as a terrier, awaited events out
side. Presently rabbit bolted intoStha
coat and boy, rabbit and coat all rolled
over together, the boy rising from the
fray with the rabbit in his clutches.
What happened to the crab the history
Gid not relate. Let us hope that the
candle was exfinguished by other
means than burning itself out.-Lon-

piano. The left hand Of the piano
controls the keys, while the right
guides the bow Of the string instru-
ment. An ingenious mechanism causes
the mellow clearness Of the tone pro-
duced upon the string instrument to
keep up with the established pitch Of
the piano and imparts a great purity
and sweetness to the tone of the lat
ter. 1t is also easy. to produce the
so-called tremolo as well as sustained
organ tones on this new piano, which
is something that is impossible to OBJ

use. When the violoncello- piano en-
braces five octaves it is said to be capa-

y Late Improvement ia Metal
Working.

One Of the latest mechanical i'm
proyements in metal working is a sys-
tenn Of rolls for wrapping narrow
plates of steel into a bar, which is
much stronger than solid piece of
the same size. The reason assigned
for this additional degree Of strength,
remarks the Boston Journal of Com
merce, is the simple fact that, if the
outside layer of metal is broken the
inner layers are intact and will re-
sist further strain, while in the case
Of a piece of solid steel the rupture
of the skin is fatal. The seams in
these wrapped bars are said to be
scarcely apparent to the naked eye,
only appearing when the metal is bent
over and twisted off, which, of course,
requires great amount Of force. The
advantage of using these wrapped bars
under certain conditions will be better
understood and appreciated when it
is considered that steel-.frequently
bears stronger resemblance to a re-
tined, ductile cast, iron than to a fbrous
wrought iron, and partakes SO largely
OF the character of cast iron that
small scratch. on it's surface may cause
serious trouble II the piece is solid and
exposed to vibratory strains.

possessing as much as possible the
fexibility and sustained character of

not been reached as yet, but great
efforts are constantly being made to-
ward it's accomplishment. Prof NJ de
Blaminck of Paris has made a great
step in the right direction. He has
conceived the idea to construct an in
strument which would combine the
special features of a string instrument,
considered as leading, with that of
the accompanying piano. Under the

Rapid Growth of Malle,abl Iron.

RAPID Growth of Malleiab1e Iron.
The rapid increase in the capacity
Of malleable iron foundries through
extensions of old plants, and the build
ing of a number of new ones, and
is attributed mainly to the expansion
of the business of agricultural imple-
ment manufacturers, who are heavy
purchasers of malleable castings But
the consumption of malleables has also
increased in many other directions,
and large establishments are to be
found that do not to any considerable
extent depend upon the agricultural
trade. The growth of the manufacture
of small wares, in almost infinite vari-
ETY., is proceeding at a rapid rate, and
for many of these malleable castings
are demanded. Makers of coke pig
iron are attacking with considerable
success this last stronghold of charcoal
iron, which has hitherto been deemed
indispensable for malleable castings.
Special qualities of coke pig iron are
being made for this purpose, and it is
asserted that the percentage of coke
iron used has not reached it's limit.
