Progress OF the Production OF Nickel.


The use Of nickel has been of late so
largely on the increase that special steps
have been taken for an increased production
of the metal. The production Of nickel,
which was about 400 tons in 1878, the wear
OF the discovery of the New CALIFORNIAN
ores, now exceeds 5000 tons per annum, and
the New Caled0nan supply has been so
supplemented by the yield from other dis
triets that supply Of about 10000 tons of
pure nickel per aDnum may shortly be ex-
pected. Nickel is found in New Caledonia
IN single mineral, garnierite or noumeite,
which Is bright green hydrated silcate Of
magnesium and nickel. The most improved
plan Of extracting the metal from The ore
consists In reducing the latter in regener-
alive furnace resembling In structure the
type OF furnace used in Belgium for reducing
zinc oxide. The reduced metal is after
ward sifted TO separate the cubes or disks
from Irregular and broken masses; they
are afterward collected by means of mag
nets. Among the more important of the
recent applications of nickel is that of the
alloy twenty parts of nickel, with eighty
parts OF copper, which is now used for the
casing of bullets for some Of the small box
rifles which European countries are adopt
ing in their armament.

AN EXCITING RIDE.
A Thrilling Experience on a Handcar
in Iowa.
St Louis Globe-Democrat

St Louis Globe-Democrat
Undoubtedly" said II. D. 0rcutt, eth g
most exciting experience that l ever had l
had out in Iowa on one Of the big trunk
lines that cross the State. 1t was ride on
a handcar. Now, l have never been a sec
ton boss, neither have l been a railroad
emplOye in my life. but combination Of
mishaps secured me night ride on one Of
them.
Il was in the town of Emporla, and l
wanted to get to Strong, little town some
fifteen miles further west. Ny object was
to see leading merchant of that town who
was l understood, to leave at that night,
just a half b0nr before | could reach the
town by the regular train. I sputtered and
Taved around the depot until the clerk in
timsted that l might tide TO Strong On a
haudcar if | could Tx the deal with the sec
ton boss. who would conduct the crew back
to Strong, whence they came. Some neces-
sarY work mad delayed the section gang at
EmpOTla, and now, at o'clock, they were
preparing to return. | found the boss, told
him MY object and Distress and asked him
to take me aboard. His reply was 10 pile
On my grip, and | did So Then we started.
After we bad gone some twelve of the
fifteen miles, working along al a good rate,
We were startled TO hear the whistle of an

dim CLEAN Of headlight. The effect was
marvellous. Something was wrong No
train was due over the line for fully an hour
and ten minutes. We did not stop to argue
the case. The train would be Oh US before
we could throw the car off. The order Of
the section boss WAS TO keep ahead of the
engine if possible until We passed Strong
thinking no dou t that the approaching
train would stop there. We worked like
demons. Ever body laid hands on the
poweT-bar and worked for dear life. My,
but we made that handcar fairly sing, and
talk about eXcltement-there was no end to
it. We kept ahead of the train for at least
mile and half. Then II ran into us, but
we were going so fast that the shock was
nothing at all We all acted on the advice
Of the section boss, and he seemed to have
no fear.
The engineer Of the roadfnasteI's special

ART SCHOOLS OF PARIS.
Something About the Famous Acad-
envy of M. Julian.


The most important of all the art schools
Of Europe at the present moment is the
famous Julian Academy. Its founder. NJ.
Julian, was himself a painter of some re-
pute when he conceived the idea, twenty
four years ago. of founding the art school
IN question. He began very m obesity. with
some twenty pupils, installed in a single
studio. In less than quarter of a century
he has seen his Institution SO spread in in
huence and so increase in numbers that,
when bis five different studios are in full
working order. they contain over 1000 STU
dents. OF whom 300 or 400 are women.
The question of selecting and engaging
models is always one Of interest at the art
schools The painters or professors are not
compelled 10 go In search of them. They
flock to the studio and to the academies in
quest of engagements. The Julian School
is one of the most popular with them, ss the
principal pays by the week, thus insnring a
longer engagement than they are apt to Sc
cure If paid by the day. They usually re-
ceive francs a day, but Italian models ask
only francs,

philadelphia Record.
One of the greatest problems confronting
English naval authorities has been the diff
feulty Of overcoming leaky tubes In the
boilers supplied to the new war vessels. In
many OF the trial trips Of the men-of-war
the tests have had 10 be abandoned on ac-
count of the inability OF the boiler-tubes to
stand the strain.
The leakage of the tubes has always
occurred at the point where the tube joins
the front plate, and it is reported from til Q
Portsmouth dOckyard that simple device
has proved successful in preventing leakage
in the recent trials Of II. M. S. Barracuda
A galvanized iron ferrule, of peculiar
shape, made with ali internal groove, is
placed around tho end of the tube, and so
protects its weakness. without actually
touching ii, at the point where 1t runs into
the plate. So effective was it that the
engines were able to develop double the
horsepower tier had done on any previous
occasion, and that without sign of leakage.
