Galvanized Iron.

Galvanized iron is merely ordinary iron
which has been dipped in molten zinc and
retains surface coating Of the zinc when
removed. 1t has come to be Of great i'm
pOrtance and usefulness, as by this simple
process any article may be made to combine
the strength and cheapness of iron and yet
be entirely free from rust, as the zinc is uii-
affected by water or air, oxidizing only at q
high temperature.

Painstaking Forgers.

"Men try in every way possible" said
prominent bank president, "to obtain
the signatures of New York bankers.
"Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. AT least we
suspect so, and for that reason try to be
as careful as possible in signing letters.
sin this bank we have many letters
from the west of such a trivial nature
that we suspect an ulterior motive upon
the part of the writers, and if we answer
them at all do so by typewriter. even to
the signature.
Zone forger or counterfeiter in Indi-
ana is exceedingly systematic and per-
sistent in his efforts to obtain the sigma
lures of our officers. AS regularly as
the year comes around he writes, inclos-
ing $40 bill, and requests us to send
him one of our new $40 bank notes in
exchange.
"He always gives the same reason for
the request-that he wants it for his col
lection. OF course that is nonsense. We
believe that he wants a new bill so that
he may discover if we have changed our
officers and get their signatures.
HE never does get them though. We
always return his bill with typewrit-
ten letter on paper containing no names,
excusing ourselves on the ground that
we have no circulation outstanding."-

African Ants.

DR.. Sharp gives the following extract
from DR.. Livingstones Narrative of an
Expedition to the Zambezi:"
1--WE tried to sleep one rainy night in
native hut, but could not because of at
tacks by the fighting battalions of very
small species of formica not more than
one-sixteenth of an inch in length. 1t
soon became obvious that they were un-
der regular discipline and even attempt
ing to carry out the skillful plans and
stratagem of some eminent leader. Our
hands and necks were the first objects of
attack Large bodies of these little pests
were massed in silence round the point
to be assaulted. We could hear the
sharp, shrill word of command two or
three times repeated, though until then
we had not believed in the vocal power
of an ant. The instant after we felt the
storming hosts over head and neck.'-

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points moral. She alleged
cruelty as ground for her suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ry orientals and go home with them.
As usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries a
pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the ORR
entails have many amable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
If the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties of his child
hood his wife must conform to certain
extent to the ordinary lie of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this so far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked ON with GOODNESS and
suspicion by them.-New York World.

She unpinned the pin from her dress and
asked:
-" How much will you loan me on
this?
Her voice trembled, but she was
game and kept steady face. The man
offered her 81, and she turned to go out,

The SUMS Fire.

How was heat originally impaired to
our great lun nary? Was he "born in
fire" and has he been in an active state
of combustion since the day of his birth,
or was he once "a darksome body, fit
ting hither and thither and yet going
nowhere in Particular
If once mighty planet of somber hue,
why is he now the torchlight as well as
the heating apparatus of great system
of worlds, and, being both, who is equal
to the task of calculating even tho cycle
of time wherein the great change took
place? It may have been that there were
no worlds in what is now the solar sys-
tenn prior to that time, or, if there were,
probably only two.
These two black giants of this dark
ezed portion of the great universe may
have collided and coslesced into vast
nebula, from whence the whole of our
system has been evolved. If light and
heat were thus mechanically produced
and still retained to a certain degree in
our sun, the largest fragment of the two
colliding worlds, is it not altogether like
ly that the great solar fires will finally
burn out and that as result man and
all living creatures will become extinct
on all of the inhabited planets?-St. Louis

In the railway world know as such ex-
ceptions, the railway corporations of the
United States literally live from hand to
mouth and have no working or reserve
fapital whatever, although their business
requires it more than any other. The
railways are capitalized for much more
than they are worth. Usually the bond

equipment and terminal securities, taken
at par, represent value in excess Of the
cost of the road, and upon them fixed in

whatever the road earns upon actual
cost must, unless it exceed, say, per
cent, be paid out annually in the shape
Of interest alone.-Simon Sterne
