The sparks that fl, of wlen a pc,

eXperimenter, NJ. Englemeyer, has
shown that these sparks vary in form
with different metals, and points out
that observing workneu have
long been accustomed To recognize
several different grades and kinds
of metal by the character of the
jet of sparks given off. NJ Engel-
meyer tested pieces of soft iron,
steel and brass upon a coarse emery
wheel. a sheaf of continuous lines
characterized the soft iron; a star, the
steel; flower, altogether unlike the
star, the bronze. Branching lines oc-
eur with iron and steel, making grad
ual transition from the pure sheaf to
the pure star, and corresponding thus
to the imperceptible transition really
existing between the mons and the
steels, y fifth form of sparks-very
slightly luminous or dark lines-re-
suits when the particles of metal are
torn away while only slightly heated,

Forced TO Hire Women Under New Tariff.
philadelphia Ledger.

A despatch from Pittsburg states thaV
the Monongahela Tin Plate Company
which has recently put in operation one
of the largest plants in the country, has
met with great success in the employment
Of women in the works. 1t is to be as
sumed that the Blairsville tin plate con-
Germ, of this State, has similarly found
satisfactory and profitable the labor OF
women in its mills, as they have been
employed there long enough to determine
the measure of their competency to do
this kind Of work. We think we accurate
ly state the opinion of every self respect
| ing American when we say that, if the
| tin plate industry cannot be successfully
prosecuted in the United States without
the labor Of women, it's absolute failure
will not be regretted. The employment
of women in iron and steel wor ks is a
custom common in the Old World, where
labor exists with groan and without
voice." and where wages are SO low as
to compel women and children, equally
with men, to work in tho mines, at the
| forge and at the pillow. The physical ana
moral degradation of women in enilght-
ened Europe appears to have reached Its
limits in Holland, where they take the
places of horses in drawing canal boats in
| the hardest most forbidding work of the
farm, and where they may be seen in the
streets harnessed, sometimes with dogs,
to carts. In England, even, they are
| forced, in order to sustain life, to work in
the mines and in all kinds of nanufactur-
ing establishments, from some of which in
this country they are wholly excluded,
and from which they should be excluded
The introduction Of women laborers in
tin works, means not only the physical
and moral degradation of women, but it
means also the reduction of wages, as it
is almost the universal rule that the
woman worker is paid less than the man
for doing the same task. We had much bet
ter import our tin than import the Europ-
can custom of reducing woman to the I'M

meet at Houston, Texas, in May, one of

Houston will be determined the location
and general plans of the institution, the
