1t was Monday forenoon. Kate was
in the best of spirits as she edited the
telegraphic dispatches delivered at the
office of the Evening News; for her
work had been hatteringly compli-
mented by her employer, who, that
morning, had informed her that her
salary would be larger thenceforth.
Grace Alden had run over, had been
duly informed of these encouraging
occurrences, and was cOngratulatlng
her journalist friend, when another
batch of the thin paper dispatches came
in. Kate turned to her desk, mechan'
ically "put a head" on the first sheet
of news, and turned to the next, when
she stared, grew pale, and leaning back
in her chair, covered her eyes with
her hand. Grace hastened to her side
and read this message from Graham:
"John Cotterell, a blacksmith, and the
leader Of the strike begun In the railway shops
here, was shot through near the heart by q
policeman Saturday while resisting arrest. 1t
Is thought that he can not live"
This news was an awful shock to
Kate, for she loved her brother almost
to the point of idolatry. That he was
going to die-that he might even then
be already dead-Was unendurable.
She must go to him at once. There
would be no train to Graham for three
long hours, and she was frantic at the
delay. Grace Alden suggested that
Judge Bolder might get special train,
but Dan Glass said it would do no good,
for by the time special could be got
ready and brought to RiSingt0n, the
regular train would be half way to
Graham.
Soon Overton, who chanced to be
passing, dropped in to see Kate a mo.
ment. Having been told the news and
Grace's suggestion having been men
toned to him, he said:
81 am an experienced traveller, Kate,
as you know, and / assure you the regu.
lar train will get there before a special
would. have been intending to visit
my sister at Graham, and Mrs. Mason
and will go with you this afternoon.
Marshall went Saturday, and you can
depend upon it he has been looking
after John and doing all that anyone
could do. Perhaps your brothers con-
dition is not so critical as this dispatch
would imply. Let US hope for the best,
my dear girl. We shall do all in our
power, and mortals can do no more.
The issue is with kind heaven.
"Besides," said Grace, 'yOu are
journalist enough to know, Kate, that
reporters often exaggerate such occur
rences, not thinking into whose hands
what they send out may fall, nor what
pain it may cause some one. Look at
It reasonably. See. A man was shot
clear through near the heart Saturday

The Political Economy OF Natural Law

Messrs. Lee and Shepard have issued a
new book by Henry Wood, author OF
oIdeal Suggestions" Goods Image In
Man Edward Burton etc, under the
above title. Its purpose is to outline a
political economy which is practical and
natural, rather than theoretical and arti-
fetal being a study of inherent laws ana
principles. In 1887, this author issued a
volume entitled, Natural Law in the
Business World" which was well received
and passed through several editions.
The present book is not revised edition
but substantially new book OF double
the size.
The titles ofthe "a chapters will give
some idea Of its contents. Among them
are The Law of Cooperation, The Law OF
Competftion, Combinations of Capital,
Combinations of LABOR, Profit Sharing
Socialism, Economic Legislation, Can
Capital and Labor BE Harmonized2 The
Distribution Of Wealth, The Centraliza-
ton OF Business, Blooms and Panics, Mon
ey and Coinage, Tariffs and Protection,
Industrial Education, etc, etc.
Political economy is Interpreted from
the standpoint of evolution and natural
law. The idealism and optimism Of this
book strongly distinguish il from many
Of tue pessimistic treatises of the present
time.
Mr.. Wood aas the faculty of rendering
this unusually dry subject not only IN

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-07-13

The fact that iron in very finely
divided state, when exposed to the at
mosphere, may oxidize SO rapidly as to
practically take fire is pretty generally
known.
The circumstance is brought to mind
by newspaper waif reporting an Incl
dent of the Alexandria bombardment in
Egypt dozen years ago. A shell be-
longing to one of the English ships had
passed into house without exploding,
and the residents subsequently request
ed the removal Of the unwelcome guest.
A number Of men were accordingly
sent ashore, and after some considera-
ton as to the best plan to be pursued in
removing the dangerous missile feath-
er bed was procured and the shell firm
ly enveloped in it. TWAS then careful
~ rolled down stairs and was probably
thrown into the sea. To show, how
ever, that this was by no means con-
vincing evidence that its dangerous
properties were destroyed the case was
cited of an iron shell which had laid
under water for about 200 years, and
which, when brought to the surface,
was so completely honeycombed by the
sea water and presented metal in so fine
state Of division that, to the horror of
the surprised finder, it gradually steamed
fiercely and became redhot.
From this it was argued as not at all
improbable that similar occurrence
might take place with the shell of the
later period, and that if, in after years,
it should be found and brought to the
surface its finder might be surprised in
much the same way.-Cassier's Maya

The Emperor and the Artist.

Carpeaux lived in close intimacy with
the imperial family at the Tuileries, at
Compiegne and at Fontainebleau. He
chung to his old patrons after their fall
and came over to Chiselhurst to give les
sons to Lulu. One of the most striking
specimens of his skill is portrait of the
dead emperor in his coffin Another and
more cheerful example will be found in
the original clay group in which the
prince imperial is playing with Nero,
his fathers favorite dog. The latter
could only be induced to sit to the
sculptor by the bride of plentiful sup
ply Of cherries, while the boy was re-
warded for his patience by permission to
dabble with the Jumps Of clay in the
studio. Making little men Of mud was
the child's great delight, and several
bits of his workmanship included in the
forthcoming show at Paris display re-
markable aptitude.
At a ball given in the Tuileries Car
peaux met a charming young lady, Mile.
de Montfort, whose rank, as he thought,
precluded his making an offer. Next
morning he presented himself very early
at the emperor's door and begged for an
immediate audience. Sire" he cried
on gaining admission, ''please to create
me baron" Napoleon III, much
amused, got him to tell his story, and
explained to him that title would in
no way enhance the value of his name.
A marriage was arranged, but it did not
turn out very happily. Nine. Carpeaux

Plastonenite.

It Is stated that the German inven-
tion-plastomenite, or improved smoke
less powder-has been satisfactorily
tested by the government authorities.
As produced by Herr Gutter. the orig
inator, the solution is poured into
forms, where it becomes fairly hard
material, capable of being pressed, roll
ed, ETC., can be colored at will and is,
like celluloid, serviceable for numerous
purposes. As powder, it is adapted for
blasting, for cannons and rifles, signal
rockets, etc. The special advantage,
however, claimed for it is complete du-
rability, while all other such powders
manufactured by the means of ether
and nitroglycerin invariably deteriorate.
The combustion of plastomenite, it is
also asserted, is SO well balanced that it
leaves no residue in barrel or cartridge,
although the striking velocity of the
projectile is unusually great; the initial
velocity from 9 VI nm. caliber is given
715m. with a gas pressure Of consider
ably below 5000 atmospheres. Neither
cold nor hot weather has any effect up
on cartridges of this kind, whereas all
powders containing nitroglycerin suffer
from changes in the atmosphere. New
