THREE iron and steel workers at
Homestead, Penn, named George Crom
ley, Cornelius Shay and John Ryan,
have. it is said. discovered the lost art
OF welding copper to iron or steel. They
have on hand several samples of the
metal nicely welded, and their dis
covery is regarded as such o valuable
one that the Carnegie Company have
offered them fixed price for the secret,
and have fitted up for them shop at
the Homestead plant where they will
begin work by welding plate of cop
per to an ingot Of nickel steel armor
plate. The Importance OF the discovery
arises from the fact that copper offers
greater resistance to the action of salt
water than any other metal, and the
Carnegie Company hopes to be able to
cover all the armor plates for the big
battle ships with IL. The last record
that history gives of the welding OF
copper with iron or steel was 500 years
before the Christian era. 1t is hoped
the discovery will prove all that ia
claimed, and that the men who made Il
will profit largely therefrom.

WASHINGTON, August 1i.-United
States Treasurer Morgan to- ay re-
ceived telegram from Assistant Ire as :
urer Jordan at New York, stating thai
the bond syndicate here deposited 81
65s,0o0 in gold in exchange for legal
tenders, and later in the day another
telegram was received, stating that
81. 0j0,00 in gold had been Withdrawn
for export for Europe. This leaves the
gold reserve at the close of bushes S,
Slo2,431, 06l. This second deposit by
the syndicate confirms the officials in
the belief that it fully intends to see to
1t that the 500, 900, 600 gold reserve is
not invaded

The complimentary remarks Of Soc
rotary of Agriculture Morton on the
value and cheapness of Virginia lands
have drawn the people Of the common
wealth to him in manner that bids
fair to bring him forward prominently
into State politics should he carry out
his intention of buying farm in the
Old Dominion and making his residence
here. An advertisement such as he has
voluntarily given cannot fail to be of
much benefit in calling the attention of
the people of the United States, and in
the Northwest particularly, to the great
advantages and wonderful resources of
the State. Virginians appreciate this
fact and accordingly feel very kindly
just now towards the Secretary of Agri-
culture.

Feeds His Horse by cloclswork.

George ". Belt Of Auburn has invent
cd an ingenious device for feeding his
horse, and he does it with ono of the Or
binary little alarm clocks. The horse
gets its feed of grain when the alarm
goes off. For instance, if Mr. Belt wants
the horse to have its morning feed of
grain ut o'clock, and he himself does
not care to turn ont until O'Clock, he
sets his alarm for o'clock, and when
tho morning comes tho horse gets its
breakfast an hour before its owners
eyes are open. 1t is so arranged that the
alarm pulls tho slide, letting the grain
run through sluice to tho manager.

and In such way that there will be no
chance for straddlers to evade the issue.
Tho promoters desire it to be distinctly
understood that. the gathering is not
mass convention, but q conference to
keep the silver movement within the
Democratic party. Besides this, it is
the purpose Of the leaders Of the move
mont to secure declaration for free

perfect an organization in every State

chief aim will be to secure delegates to

Republicans no doubt hope the con-
ference will result in split from the
regular Democratic organizations; but in
this they will be mistaken, as one of
the first results of the official formation
of free silver wing OF the Democratic
party will be to bring back into the fold
those Democrats who have seeded and
gone to the Populists, lured by their ad-
vocacy Of the cause of free coinage Of
silver. These dissenting brethren will
now come back, and when the fight for
free silver Is made in the next national
convention. il they are beaten fairly.
they will stand by the party nominees
at least, rather than to again 20 to the
Populists.
Assuming that the leaders OF the new
movement succeed in gathering about
them the kind OF material they desire
and establish their committee upon .

IN the dispatches from China oon-
corning the recent massacres much is
said about the Vegetarians, the pro-
motors of the riots and the cause of all
the mischief. Foreigners are objects
of dislike to all Cinnamon, but the
Vegetarian is this national sntipsthy
intensified. The sect is said to be the
most honest and bigoted followers OF
Buddah, and Buddhism teaches the
TRANSPORTATION of the soul. 1t teaches
that If one does not meet Q certain
standard Of righteousness and become
worthy of high birth, he must take
the alternative of lower birth int
animal life; therefore it Is asin to eat
animal food. even eggs, lest human
beings enter into ones articles of diet.
In following out the tenets of this re-
ligion literally, the Vegetarians abstain
from meat, hence their name.
