AntiQuity of Wire,

The manufacture of wire is of very ancient origin. It has been traced back to the early Egyptian history. Specimens are in existence which can be proved to date to 17O0 B. c. The Kensington Museum has a specimen which was made in Minera. 800 years B. c. Ancient literature contains much reference to wire. There is no question that this ancient wire was made by hammering out the metal, which was always bronze or of the precious group. This held true of all made previous to the fourteenth century, during which the process of forming wire by drawing or elongating the metal by forcing it through conical oriflce, made in some substance harder than the metal treat ed, was invented. It is not until this time that we have any evidence of iron being used. At first this drawing was by hand power, and it continued so until the latter half of the century when a German named Rudolph, built some kind of a power mill in Nurem- berg. About 1900 this industry was in troduced in France by one Richard Archal A half century later Queen Elizabeth of England granted permis- sion to, some Saxons to establish power wire and, drawing in her domains. Their first mill was driven by water power, and was located at Holywell. But for some time before this hand drawn wire had been made in England. Pre-American ideas seemed to have be- longed to the business, as in 163O Charles r., by royal proclamation, pro- hibited further importation of wire, be- cause the home supply was sufficient both in quantity and in quality. This must have given some encouragement to the Infant industry" as we are told that thirty-three years later the first really mechanical wire mill was built in England, at Sheen. Protected in- ventive genius had asserted itself. Ger many had been the first to develop power drawing, and did not remain idle. In fact, that country, Belgium and England have practically been the only European nations in which the wire industry has flourished. For years after the introduction into this country we dep psnde.i upon them for our main supply, of both billets and rods.-R. w. Hunt, in Cassier's Maga- zine.

IS FAST CRUMBLING AWAY.
sHAKr CONDITION OF STONE PIER
 AT TOMLIys0y BRIDGE.

Demands Immediate Attsntion-HAs Been
 Rendered Unsafe by Action of waves-A
 New Bridge One of the Possibilities of the Near Future.
 The dilapidated condition of the stone pier under the old wooden part of the Tomlinson drawbridge must soon be taken serious notice of by the board of public works. The matter was reported 10 the board some time ago, but as its appropriation was fast being eaten up by other Improvements and AS the pier would probably stand for some months, no effort was made 10 repair the fast crumbling structure. although it was voted so to do.
 The pier was constructed many years ago of large, uneven stones. Of late years the work of the waves caused by passing tugboats and other craft has been such as to wear out from between the stones the mortar which holds them in place. The present appearance of the pier strikes one as being very dan gerous. That it will collapse some time there Is no doubt.
 City Engineer Kelly has made a per sonal investigation of the pier He Is of the opinion that 1t must surely col lapse sooner or later, and when 1t does | the city should be ready to build an other stronger pier in It's place. MT. Kelly stated that even if the old pier collapsed the bridge would be safe for a time at least. Light traffic could be allowed over 1t, but Il strict watch would have to be kept until the old pier l was replaced by a new one.
 It Is the intention of the board of pub lie works to put in place of the old pier when they can afford 1t "rip-rap" pier, so-called by engineers. It is a big structure, considerably larger than or dinary river bridge piers. It Is said that the harbor commissioners will not allow, if they can prevent 1t, the con- struction of suchIa pier on the ground that it will take up too much room. It is believed by many that the har- bor commissioners are quietly using their influence with the town and city for the construction of new bridge. Almost everybody that has traffic over or traffic under the bridge says that it's accommodations are inadequate and unsafe. Last December Mayor Sargent asked the common council for an ap- propriation of $4,600 for the repairing and construction of bridges. The com mon council found that 1t was not with 1 in its power to make such an appropri- ation and referred the mayor to the legislature. The bridge has not been considered so safe since the Sunshine struck 1t and knocked two stones out of the pier In question. The bridge was strained so that between the draws when closed there was gap of eight inches

TORTURED BY BRIGANDS.
They Tried to Extort Money From a
Wealthy spsniard.

MADRID, Jan PA most barbarous
outrage IS reported from ARGOS de Ia iron
terra, in Andalusia. thirty miles northeast
of Cadiz. TWO brigands entered the house
OF Senor Jose Castillo, who has the reputa-
ton of being quite wealthy. and seized and
blindfolded him. Castillo's niece. who was
in the house, was also seized, and bound
hand and foot.
The 6rigands then demanded that cas-
tIllo inform them where his money was
The latter refused 10 tell, whereupon the
brigands, drawing their knives, proceeded
10 mutilate Castillo In a friehtful manner
They then took their prisoner and sus-
pended him in a deep well, threatening 10
drop him 10 the bottom unless he disclosed
the hiding place OF the money. Suffering
terrible agony from the injuries inflicted
upon him, and not doubling that his cap
tors would put their threats into execution
Castillo told them where he had hidden
his money. The bandits went 10 the place
and found only s., which they seized.
Finding that that was the only money OH
the premises. the two brigands started
to depart, but friend Of Castillo, VINO had
seen that there was something wrong at
Castillo's house. and suspectng that rob-
berry was being committed, notified the
police. who arrived just as the thieves
were going away
Both the brigands were at once arrested.
The police learned that two women SER
wants in the house had aided the brigands
in entering, and they. too. were taken into
custody. II Is doubtful II Castillo Will
survive his injuries.
