Manganese steel.

It is now ascertained that the strength
and ductility of manganese steel are both
increased by Fastening the cooling of the
metal. But in doing this in the case OF
casting it is necessary, according to the
opinion of Mr.. Howe, an experienced in
vestigator, to take care that the rapid cool
ing does not cause cracks at re-entrant an
giles and other weak spots. In forging in
gots of the steel the temperature, he says,
should be raised gradually, as the metal
conducts heat slowly. During forging,
also, the metal acts like carbon steel con-
tanning LIS to 1.50 per cent of carbon and
requires heavier blows than most steels.
Further, it may be rolled hot into sheets
.049 inch thick without special difficulty
and with proper precautions to as thin as
OLA inch thick. Cold it has been rolled
still thinner, but requires frequent anneal-
ing In machining it the hardest carbon
or chrome steel is required, mushet and
other self hardening sorts being unsuita-
BILE. Light cuts and very slow feeds are es-
sential. and as an estimate it takes four
times as long to machine manganese steel
as common carbon steel. In the employ
ment of this metal for car wheels tests
have shown an advantage of remarkable
long runs, on an average, before turning
seven times, in fact, the average mileage
of chilled cast iron wheels on the same

He reasoned that the white people of
the one State vera as able physically

The conditions of climate and soil were
the same; yet the aspects of the two
banks of this river were entirely different.
1t did not take De Tocqueville's keen
mind long to get at the real difference.
To do a given piece of work in Ohio it
would cost less to hire at a good yearly
salary free white laborer than it would
cost in Kentucky to pay the food, cloth
ing, rent, DOCTORS bills, loss of interest

Kentucky and Ohio could never think
on this subject alike, and they have
kept up the habit of differing.

Protecting Vegetables In winter.

1t does not seem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction of vegetables
otherwise hardy, and especially light
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. A cabbage or turnip that is ex-
posed to the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound if but slightly COW
cred with earth. This principle should be
remembered when collecting vegetables
together in large masses for protection.
It is often customary to cover such
sets of vegetables with some light ma
terial, such as leaves, hay or straw, the
result of which generally is simply to
form a harbor for mice, which are much
more destructive than the frost itself
Water has, of course. to be excluded,
and if the vegetable plants are set close
ly together and covered with boards to
keep out the rain, it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded,
or else rotting may result. For this pur-
pose it is good practice to invert vege-
tables. The cabbage especially must re-
ceive this attention. They are almost
always inverted when placed together
under boards or covers for protection,
and, in fact, where no covering at all is
used they will keep perfectly well when
inverted. -Meehan's Monthly.

Social Influence of the Bicycle.

The bicycle has played an important
abridgement of distance isa most weighty
factor in the social life of any commulii-
ty, and the bicycle causes a mixing to-
gether of people who would heretofore
have remained isolated. Railway travel
is too expensive for certain class of our
fellow citizens to resort to it for the
sake of mere pleasuring. Wheelmen on the
other hand, can journey readily whith-
ersoever they will, as the cost of travel
is very small, and all sorts of romantic
and pleasant out of the way places can
wheelmen has had a very wonderful
effect in waking up and building up very
many of the smaller towns and villages
off the lines Of roads. Most of these
places, which have been pretty nearly
dead since the building of the railroads,
have begun to wake up again, owing to
the fact that they have become the daily
rendezvous of numerous wheelmen.
So, too, the quaint old wayside inns
which had begun to fall into decay have
again become the scene of busting life
that is quite as interesting and as pictur-
esque in it's way as the life of the old
stage coach day.
The bicycle, by widening the social
horizon and possibilities of the young
man or woman, deals death blow to
provincialism and narrowness. In speak
ing of the social influence of the bicycle
it is necessary to mention the part played
by wheelmen in agitating road reform.
Better roads mean great deal to the
agricultural classes of this country, So
cially as well as commercially, and the
efforts of the bicyclists in behalf of inn
proved roads will, if successful, do much
to destroy the social isolation of the
American farmer. Bicycle riders are
not the only persons to gain socially by
the wider introduction of wheeling. =

The despatch pu blished early this
week. which announced that the Russians
were marching Oh Cabul, seems to be
unconfrmed, and was doubtless due to
one of those panicy rumors incident to
the strained situation in those regions.
1t was seven or eight years ago, during
the former ministry of Gladstone, that
the Pendjeh incident awakened the
world to the fact that Afghanistan was
henceforward to lie the main point OF
action between the two great Asiatlc
powers, England and Russia. The for

preached Afghanistan from the South.
The latter, advancing from the Caspian
