She Figured on Diamonds.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
lis the society editor IMP she asked, as
she entered the room. She was a dete-min-
ed-looking young woman, with sharp eyes
and an air that seemed to say: "I know my
business II / am from the country"
II am the society editor" said the young
man at the corner desk. What can do

"well. I'm engaged" she said In q busi-
ness-like way
Engaged to be married?' he asked.
Sure" she replied. did you think !
came up her to tell you 1 was engaged as q
cashier"
mo, no: not at ALL" he assured her. "If
you'll give me your name and the name of

Never mind the names Just now" she
interrupted. You printed something about

who's Jim?''
He's the man I'm engaged to-Jim Rey-

And he didn't put you up to printing
that?"
Certainly y. not"

We'll, sometimes 1 have my doubts about

ring, but 1 told him diamonds were none
too good for me. Then he said that plain
gold was the correct thing. but 1 told him
he could not pull the wool over my eyes
with that kind of a story. 1t had got to be

seemed kind Of convinced then. but the
next day he brought me that paper Of yours

Testing Iron Castinrs.
From the st. Louis Republic.


Have you ever noticed" said q st. Louis
an yesterday, those massive iron pillars
now standing erect in the basement of the
new Planters House? Well, did you ever
stop to think Of the immense weight they
will be compelled to support steadily for
many, many years? Oh, you have But /
suppose you have thought the manufacturer
just made those pillars and sold them with
out knowing anything about how much
weight they would bear or how long they
would bear 1t. Let me tell you about that
Those pillars are cast in the same man.
ner as cast iron stoves-by running the
liquid metal into sand molds, but alongside
Of each pillar is cast an iron bar from the
same metal. The bar is precisely an inch
square and 12 feet in length. When cold
1t Is subjected to a very simple test Each
end of the bar is placed upon a table and
weights are suspended from the center by
rope. 1t must bear a tensile strength of
500 pounds to the square inch. The test
may begin with 400 pounds and be gradually
increased until the bar is found to be per-
fectly supporting the required weight If IL
breaks, for instance, at 4S0 or 4yB pounds
then the pillar cast from the pot of metal
which cast the bar is discarded, broken up
and put into the pot again, with more Dig
iron added. The pillars, you know, are
