UNDER A TRIP HAMMER.

Exhibition OF Faith, skill and Perfect
Machinery Mt the krupp Gun Works.
Tho most wonderful exhibition VT
confidence by one person in another
came before me Il short while back ON
my tour through Germany" said trav-
cler to st. Louis Globe Democrat re-
porter.
II have n great deal Of confidence in
solne mems ability and wonderful
trust in some mems nerve and steady
strength, but not enough to stake my
life on either.
1.-The exhibition that saw seemed
foolhardy. 1t was in the works of the
great Krupp Arms company. One part
of the machinery is for f1attcning bars
of steel into plates. For this special
machine is had, which has an immense
steel block or table on which to lay the
bars, and a greet arm Sledgc, which
weighs several tons and comes down
with crushing velocity. 1t is perfectly
regulated by machinery, however, and
the man at the throttle can stop it with
ease ut any given distance from the
block, providing he has sufficient stead
mess of nerve.
1.-The day went through the manager

and certain was the machinery. With
out reply the mechanic whistled to Il
lad working some thirty feet away.
The boy dropped what he was doing
and came running. Jump up" said
the first, and muttered something about
showing us the machine. Without re-
ply the lad leaped to the steel table be-
meath the great iron blocks.
1--WE were Mortified. but the work was
too quickly done to permit objection,
The moment the lad settled down the
engineer grasped the lever and the
great sledge with lightning rapidity
flew up uEd down again toward the
block. 1t was all done by the steady
fingers at the valve, and 1t stopped a
few inches above the lads head, who
smilingly climbed down and started

them to take the money, which they did
never expect to witness such another

Had the whale once managed TO get

and weighing perhaps trifie over
5000 pounds, il would have made II hot
for the men IN the dory, IL not for the

covered that the school OF mackerel had
disappeared. and so they made sail for

and what few fish they had.
