A Metal That Hardens Steel.

The reason that the mixture of tung-
sten with steel gives the latter so great d
degree of hardness that it readily
scratches glass and quartz seems to be
revealed by a discovery recently made
in Germany. A definitely crystallized
compound of iron and tungsten has been
discovered, the crystals being so hard as
to scratch topaz. Tungsten is brittle
white metal, almost as heavy as gold.
The crystals, remarks The Paper Trade,
as formed by it's combination with iron,
in the proportion of one atom of iron to
two of tungsten, are silver gray and very
brilliant. 1t is thought that when tung-
stem is alloyed with steel some of the
compound just described is formed in
the mass, thereby producing the remark
able increase in the hardness Of the steel.
This is an interesting example of the
value that one metal may lend to the 9th
or, for, until the discovery that it could
be used in hardening STEEL tungsten, al
though it occurs in considerable abun-
dance, was practically useless and with
out value.-New York Times.

A swindiing Fortune Teller.

An old female fortune teller at Tours,
France, has been sentenced TO eight
months Imprisonment for swindhng q
simple minded man. She persuaded him
that he would discover in certain place
which she indicated = vast amount of
treasure guarded by & skeleton and n
good genius. The said treasure consist
cd, she said, of n ton of gold and dia-
monds; but before they could be obtain
ed she ordered him to enter upon GER
tain ceremonies. of which the most
important was the burning of candles
and incense. All this he faithfully per-
formed, and then for several weeks dug
most zealously at the spot of ground
which had been pointed out to him.
Finding his labor in vain he returned to
the old fortune teller, who encouraged
him to continue, and he did so. In all
she swindled the poor man out OF 1900
francs.-Paris Letter.

Do not fail to take advantage of the
library. Begin course of good read
ing. Music is notorious for narrowing
ones mind, so resolve to counterbalance
your practice with library work as well.
AS to your practice, would give you
this maxim, 1.-THE essential thing in
practice is to see exactly what is to be
done in all its details, and then do it
again and again with the greatest clear
ness, precision and energy"
When you take up new piece, notice
the key, the harmonies, chords, scales,
lingering and general effects. One of
the first necessaries is Concentration" ."
Develop self criticism. "The thing you
cannot do is the very thing you should
make yourself do"
In practice begin where you left off
the day before. Connect your days
work. Apply all your knowledge. Do
not try to do more than one thing at a
time. Spend good deal of time every
day thinking about what you are doing
and what you will do.-Edward d. Hale.

Eugene Fields Wife.

Mrs. Eugene Field is always spoken of
as little woman, but as matter of
fact she is somewhat above the medium
height and fully up to the medium
weight. Her head is rather small and
her hands and feet extremely so, and
somehow she gives the impression of
ittleness. She has soft brown hair and
eyes-velvet eyes, her husband calls
them-and complexion as clear and
fair us child's. She is the mother of
six children. three of whom live to re-
mind her that in spite of her youthful
appearance time is feeting. Her eldest
is daughter of fifteen, already taller
than her mother. She is the Mary
French Field to whom Mr.. Fields Lit
tie Book of Profitable Tales" is dedicated.
The other two are boys, Eugene, aged
twelve, and Frederic, aged ten. The
latter is the baby of the family. 1t was
to him that Mr.. Field addressed his
lines ITO Usurper," written five or six
years ago.-John Ballantyne in Ladies'
Home Journal

The Safety Of tho Many Bought by the
Death of the Few.
All crafts depend upon knowledge and
acquired skill-knowledge of the ma
terial to be handled, acquired skill in the
handling of the material. Pioneers of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
of their structure, and the forces in ac-
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has one meaning for geologist, has
others for mountaineer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
gullies, another forms lodges and preci-
pices. Ono texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed. another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind of substance is firm and trust
worthy, another is friable and treacher-
GUS to hand and foot. If there was so
much to be learned about rocks. snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase.
'.state of the snow," to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
''state of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
avalanches of snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected to fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish afar off between snow and
ice slopes. Moreover, the tools of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
We're tried and discarded; few were re-
tanned and improved. The form of the
ak was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts We're de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were source of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril of
cornices. Unroped climbers met their
death ON many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety of the many has
been bought by the death of the few.
We can now plunge into the world of
snow without undue peril. We know
it's dangers and can guard against them;
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun-
ners went aloft as neolithic navigators
put to sea-badly equipped and into a
misunderstood region. We are now on
the footing of the modern sailor. Snow,
as such, has no more terrors for us than
sea for them. Ill luck may overtake
US, and ue may fall, as they may be
drowned, but with good equipment and
experience the climber and seafarer are
about as safe as the townsman at home.

Queer Phenomena of Failing Bodies.


l am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or other
heavy body dropped from the top of
high tower, but it is nevertheless curl
Gus fact that such objects invariably fall
slightly to the east of the perpendicular
line. Persons of inquiring turn of mind
who ask why this is as it is may find an
answer in the following: All falling bod
les partake of the earth's eastward mo-
ton to greater or lesser extent. There
fore during the time occupied by stone
in falling from the top of high tower
or other eminence the earth's rotary mo-
ton has carried it an appreciable dis
tance to the east. The initial impetus
of the stone has carried it to the east
ward also, therefore it strikes the earth
to the east of the perpendicular, vary
ing in degree according to the height
from which it has fallen.
A curious article on this subject may
be found in the Leipsic Zeitung of May
8. 1899, page 3. The author of the ar
ticle, who has given it the title of '"The
Nonperpendicularit of High Towers"
claims that the tower ON St. Peters ca
thedral at Rome leans 18 inches to the
east.-St. Louis Republic.

A Remarkable Parrot.

A gifted parrot is owned by John
Sewey, of Noank, Conn. The bird was
captured in Mexican forest thirty-five
years ago by its present owner, and
brought to this country. 1t speaks Eng
lish fuently. and is so respectful that
when it has cause for anger foreign
tongue is chosen to express its indigna-
ton. In other words, it fears to offend
polite ears by swearing in English. 1t
therefore relieves itself by cursing Wig
orously and vehemently in Spanish. 1t
takes its place at the table with the
family, in a chair that just fits it, and
with napkin under his neck, feeds it.

it rests on the other. Its favorite diet is

The British parliament compares fa-

of commons and over 553 in the upper
house, it is far and away the largest in
the world. France comes nearest with
5S4 in the chamber of deputies and 300

431 in congress and 361 in the cortes.
Then comes the Austrian reichsrath
with 1858 and 245 in the lower and upper
houses respectively, followed by Ger
