Ostrich Farming in Texas.

The idea Of establishing an ostrich
farm on st. Joseph : Island is receiv-
ing good deal Of attention, and
many prominent men are interesting
themselves in the subject. Prof
Attwater has investigated, and be-
lieves it quite feasible. The country
has IA climate very similar to that
part of California where it is follow
ed, and where it has proved wonder
fully profitable.
The tittingup of a farm, purchase
Of the land and birds, would cost a
considerable sum, but there is, it
seems, no reason why it should not
return handsome profits by the in
vestment. Correspondence with Il
number of wealthy Californians is
now going on and company will
likely be formed and farm establish
ed in the near future. r. II. Wood.
the principal land owner Of the is
land, offers every inducement and
will aid in every way he can. 1t is
more than probable that in IA few
years ostrich farming will be added

investigating the conditions attend
ing firing at very long ranges. The
weight of the gun used was twenty
two tons, aud that OF the projectile
$50 pounds, which, fired with n
charge of 270 pounds, gave a muzzle
velocity Of 2.36O foot-seconds. The
elevation OF the first round was 10
degrees The prpjectile fell at a
range of about 2l 900 yards, or nearly
twelve miles. \ shot at - degrees

The first coins issued by ths
United States were. half dimes OF sill
yer, struck in 1892, i'm which year
the mint was established by act ol
Congress. The first gold eagles made
were turned out i'm 1895.
So late IA 1925 the crime of embez-
zing any Of the coins struck at the
mint, or any OF the metals brought
thither to be coined, by any OF
the officers OF the establishment
was punishable by death. The same
penalty was attached to the Of
fense OF debasing any Of the coins
issued. In the weighing room OF this
institution 81 800, 900, 900 worth OF
gold has been weighed. Formerly
the silver used by the mint was
mostly obtained from South America
and Mexico, but now the supply
comes from Colorado and elsewhere
in the West. The copper is derived
mainly from the mines Of Lake
Superior, and the finest is from
Minnesota Most Of the nickel is
dug in Lancaster county, Pennsyl-
vania.
The primitive method Of coming
money was by casting the pieces
in sand, the design being after

Of a hammer and punch. In
mediaval times the process
adopted was that Of hammering
metel into sheets Of the desired thick
ness, cutting the planchcts out with
shears, and then stamping Sem by
hand. The first steam coming press
was invented in 1888.

HOW AN AK is MADE.
Tho Processes II Undersoes in Its
Evolutions.

On entering the main workshop, the
first step in the operation which il
seen is the formation OF the ax-head
without the blade. The glowing fiat
iron bars are withdrawn from the
furnace and are taken to powerful
and somewhat complicated machine
which performs upon them four dis
tinct operations, shaping the metal to
form the upper and lower part of the
ax then the eye, and finally doubling
the piece over 50 that the whole can
be welded together. Next the iron
is put in n powerful natural gas fur
mace and heated to white heat.
Taken out il goes under tilt ham
mer and is welded in second This
done, one blow from the drop and
the poll Of the AK is completed and
are doing this class of work, and each
crew can make | 300 axes per day.
When the axe leaves the drop
there is some superhuous metal still
adhering to the edges and forming
what is technically known rs FIN. "
To get rid Of the fin the ax is again
heated i'm furnace and then taken
in hand by IA sawyer, who trims the
ends and edges. The operator has a
glass in front Of him to protect his
eyes from the sparks which fly off by
the hundreds as the hot metal is
pressed against the rapidly revolving
saw. The iron part of the ax is now
complete. The steel for the blade,
after being heated, is cut by machin-
cry and shaped. 1t is then ready for
the welding department. A groove
is cut into the edge of the iron, the
steel Of the blade inserted, and the
whole firmly welded by machine
hammers. Next comes the operation
of tempering. The steel portion of
the ax is heated by being inserted in
pots Of molten lead, the blade only
being immersed. 1t is then cooled
by dipping in water and goes to the
hands of the Inspector. An AK is
subject to rigid tests before it is pro-
nounccd perfect. The steel must be
of the required temper, the weight of
all axes Of the same size must be
uniform, all must be ground alike,
and in various other WAYS conform to
an established standard. The in
Spcctor who tests the quality of the
steel does so by hammering the
blade and striking the edge to ascer-
tain whether it be too brittle or not.
An aX that breaks during the tests
is thrown aside TO be made over.
Before the material OF the AK is in
the proper shape it has been heated
five times, including the tempering
process, and the AK, when completed,
has passed through the hands OF
about forty workmen, each Of whom
has done something toward perfect
ing it, After passing inspection the
axes go to the grinding department..
and from that to the polishers, who
finish them upon emery wheels

seven counties:
The early part Of the week was very
warm, followed by decidedly cooler
weather, resulting Elm severe frost over
much OF the east portion OF the state, on
the morning of Saturday, 10th inst.
The showers that occurred during the
week were mostly scattered and light,
although portions of q few counties re.
ceived copious rains.
Light showers were quite general on
the 18th, relieving crops very much
where affected by the dry warm wind Vi
the preceding week.
The frost OF the 10Th was quite general
over the east portion of the state and In
many localities damaged field crops,
gardens and fruit.
While in some localities corn, potatoes,
fax and barley were cut down nearly to
the ground, it is thought that all field
crops will O o recover, and the injury
only amounts to q temporary setback.
Considerable garden produce was killed.
Over the northern portion of the state
corn was not sufficiently advanced to
suffer much.
1t appears from reports that the frost
was most severe over the east central
o 1unties, but it's affect was not uniform
some localities escaping with slight in
jury.
Over most OF the section affected IVY
frost, the Russian thistle, being very
tender, was killed tosthe ground.
A severe hail storm is reported from a
portion of Edmunds county, resulting in
some injury to crops. Hail is also re-
ported from Yankton county, damaging
gardens to some extent.
Reports indicate that the week was
favorable to crops in the west portion of
the state.
The comparatively cool weather pre-
vailing since the 18th inst. was favorable
for wheat 'stooling."
Generally, more rain is needed, and
warm weather would be beneficial.

They are John McQuade, chairman of

and Police Commissioner James j. Mar
tin, each one of whom hopes in his heart
of hearts that the mantle of the retiring
chieftain may fall upon his w shout
derS.
1t is not surprising that there should
be eager competition for the leadership
The place vacated by Croker carries
with it the craftsmanship OF the finance
committee of Tammany Hall, q flduciary
position without an equal in the civil
lized world. The holder of it Is the Gus
todian of funds aggregating millions, OF
which he keeps no accounts whatever,
and for which he is responsible to no
one. To a man who loves political
power, too, the position is eminently de-
sirable.
It seems to be generally conceded
that the actual leadership will remain
