Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-08-24

and during its course testimony has been
given by the principal officials of the
Carnegie company, by workmen and by
government officials. The report is re-
markabIy complete and good review of
the case. The committee finds that
charges of fraud have been sustained,
scores the company and recommends that
fifty-nine suspected plates in Use should
be tested as the only method of proving
their fitness or unfitness. II only finds
that the government inspection was
negligent, but no charge of dishonesty
rests upon the inspectors.
Charges Against the Company.
The charges against the company were
that the plates and bolts did not receive
the treatment required by the contract;
that false reports Were made TO the gov
ernment inspectors; that specimens for
testing were reiterated before being sub
mitted; that the testing machine was
fraudulently manipulated; that substitu-
ton was made in the case of plates de-
signed for "A ballistic test, and that the
government stamp was either duplicated
or stolen and used without knowledge of
government inspectors. The report states
that the number of furnaces used was to-
tally inadequate to fulfill specifications OF
the contract on the amount Of armor plate
turned out. After the first investigation
OF the frauds number of instances was in
creased from four to ten. In regard to
the "jockeyinS" of the testing machines,
it is asserted that the company made
private tests OF material, and if it was be-
low the standard. manipulated the ma
chine at the official test so that it would
show the required tensile strength. The
charges of retreating and substituting
plates designed for ballistic tests the COM
mittee is satisfied are true. The charge of
using duplicate or stolen government
stamp Is not sustained.
Government Inspection Negligent.
The report says the government inspec-
ton was negligent and defective, but this
is attributed to the fact that there Were
not nearly enough inspectors to do the
work. 1t is asserted that the fraud has
been traced home to the general superin-
tendent, who is stock holder in the
Carnegie company. OF the feature OF
criminality inrolved Chairman Cum
mings says: "The frauds which your
committee have found are worthy to be
called crimes. The servants of the Car.
negie company whether with or without
the knowledge OF the company to increase
gains, 0ciloSI0ttlN CcHtluucu lOr
many months to commit acts whose nat
ural probable consequences would be a
terrific loss Of men in times Of war and
perhaps the dearest to the nation. No fine
or mere money compensation is an ade.
quate atonement for such wrongs. You
committee do not consider 1t within their
province to draft "A criminal statute, but
they do feel under obligation to call the
attention of the house to the Importance
of protecting the lives of our seamen and
the safety Of the nation by appropriate
legislation, denounciuS as crimes all such
| acts as the frauds practiced upon the gov.
ernment in connection with arInor plate
and other material of war and making
such acts punishable in all persons who
commit them or aid their commission"

An Inattentive Judge Rebuked.

A certain New York Judge has a habit
which sometimes annoys members of the
bar who appear before him-particularly
young men-of talking to his associates
on the bench while the lawyers are deliv
ering their speeches, but however exasper
ated they may be the lawyers have not,
as a rule the boldness to complain, fol
they recognize the power of the court. An
eminent lawyer of New York, however,
set them an example. He was about TIC
make the closing speech in a highly i'm
portant case. Forty minutes had been al
lotted him for the purpose. He had scarce
ly uttered dozen words when the judge
wheeled round in his chair and began
discussion with his associate on the bench.
The lawyer ceased speaking Immediately,
folded his arms and gazed steadily at the
Judges. A hush fell upon the courtroom.
The offending judge, noticing the stiffness,
turned and looked inquiringly at the 81.
lent advocate.
Your HONOR said the lawyer, II have
lust 40 minutes in which to make my final
argument. I shall not only need every
second of that time to do it justice but
shall also need your undivided attention. .
And you shall have it, !" promptly re-
sponded the judge at the same time &C
knowledging the justice of the rebuke by
a faint flush on his cheeks. 1t was an ex
hibition of genuine courage, but one thai
was more fully appreciated by members
of the profession than by the others whe
witnessed it.-Chicago Post.

Durable White Paint.

A simple method is announced for OBJ
tanning durable white paint, one that
overcomes the general objection to whitt
paint-viz, that on exposure to heat, and
especially to gas flames, lamp shades, cell
ings, ETC., painted with oil colors, it soon
turns brown, owing to the calcination Of
the organic matter contained in the colors
and the linseed oil in the oil paints. In
the new process a quantity of fine zinc
white is mixed to suitable consistency
with solution of protoxide of sodium and
water glass of 40 to so degrees of Baume.
The surfaces to be painted are first thor
oughly cleansed, and for certain metals,
such as zinc, washing with hydrochlorie
acid is necessary. The surface is subse
quently cleansed with water, and then sew
eral coats of zinc water glass paint art
laid on until the article is deemed suffi
GENTLY covered, an interval being allow
ed, but not of long duration, between the
application of each coat, as such paint
soon dries In case of a large surface, such
as a ceiling, to be covered, too much OF
the paint should not be mixed, as the
chemical action of water glass on Zinc
white is soon to render it thick and hard.
This paint is represented as being unaf
fected always remains snowy white, only
becoming soiled by dust and soot.-NeW
York Sun.

Lobed Leaves.

Grant Allen, a writer of pretty chaptert
ON speculative botany contends that leaves
become dissected in their efforts to obtain
air and light. Those who have had an op.
portunity of examining our white oak
know that the leaves are lobed just in pro
portion to the ease by which they can get
light. In other cases the rule is reversed.
The outer leaves are chiefly lobed, and tc
our mind this is the rule that generally
prevails Some other circumstances than
light must have to do with the lobing OF
leaves. The well known English ivy has
it's leaves lobed while it is running rapid
ly up trees, walls or fences. When it ceases
to grow in this direction, but sends out lat.
eral branches, the lobes disappear. Light
can have nothing to do with this result

EARTHQUAKES IN ENGLAND.
saecord of Some Of the Famous Shocks Felt
In That Country.

In That Country.
An English exchange, in talking of
earthquakes in that country, says. In 11O1
William of Mal1aesbury tells us that all
England was terrified with ahorrid spec
tacle forthe buildings were lifted up and
then again settled as before Thirty two
years later many houses were overthrown,
and flames is1ued from riffs in the earth,
and in 1885, according to Holinshed, there
sschanced sore earthquake throughout
all parts of this land, such a one as the
like had not been heard of in England
since the beginning of the world, for stones
that Law couched fast in the earth were re-
moved out of their places, houses were
overthrown, and the great church of Lin
coin rent from the top downward. " On
Sept. 10, 1875, ST. Michael's. church in
Glastonbury was destroyed by an earth
quake, and in 1861, in The Metrical Chron-
icle of John Harding, we read that sim
liar visitation greatly gan the people all
affraye, so dreadful was it then and peril
ous'' Indeed there is scarcely decade
during which one of these shocks did not
terrify the nation, some so severely that
Queen Elizabeth caused a special form OF
earthquake prayer" to be issued 1t is
even affirmed, though the statement lacks
confirmation, that in the fifteenth century
Lyme Regis was nearly destroyed, and it
is certain that London escaped no better
than the rest of the kingdom.
On Easter Monday, 1880, the great bell
at Westminster and the bells OF the yarl-
GUS churches were set jangling. The peo-
pie rushed out of the theaters in conster-
nation, and the Templars leaving tier
supper, ran out of the hall with their
knives in their hands. Part of the Tenn
nle church was cast down, some stones
fell from St. Paul's, and two apprentices
were killed at Christ Church. On Sept. 8,
1899, the merchants were driven from
change and the streets filled with pan
ic stricken crowd of swooning or wander
ing people. In 1850, as the readers OF Hor-
ace Walpole's gossip will remember, there
were so many shocks. that Whites was
kept busy betting on the event, Grub street
inditing pamphlets regarding them and
quacks selling pills ''good against the
earthquake Five years later the Lisbon
earthquake agitated the waters OF the fish
pond at Peerless pool, in the City road,
and as late as 1859, 1859, $780, 1868, 1868,
1871 and 1899 various local, shocks have
been recorded.

John Turner, Jr., of Deering Centre,
has purchased blooded colt from Nc
Nichol of Calais.
william BODICE attempted to read a
newspaper one morning three weeks
ago, and found that he couldn't see the
print. He had never had any trouble
with his eyes before. Also he notice that
he felt strangely weak that day. He has
felt so ever since and his eyes have
grown worse. He can see at distance
and with glasses, but not without, and
there has been some pain. He concludes
that it is freak of the grip.

WHAT THEY LOST.

When you are old and gray and full of sleep.
And nodding by the fire, take down this BOOK
And slowly read and dream of the soft look
Your ewes had once and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty, with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
Then, bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sad From us fed Love.
He paced upon the mountains far above
And hid his face among crowd of stars"
