Quite funny are some of the expert
ences narrated by persons returning
from the Atlanta exposition. A local
newspaper man, who got back from the
south on Monday, tells this one on him
self. Upon arriving at Atlanta he char
tered a hack. and with that fine scorn
of pecuniary considerations characteris-
tic of his profession ordered the driver
to convey him to the "best hotel in
town. - Entering the really gorgeous
caravansary, he dropped his grip before
the desk, held a pen poised above the
register and inquired, ''What kind Of a
room can you give me and how mnch?7
The clerk, typical southerner, with
sallow complexion, dropping mustache
and long goatee. replied in an indilfer-
ent sort of tone, Well sub, All ken

VAere Is down east iisherinan who
recently evolved a brainy soheine for
making Holsters grow rapidly, and To-
this anan the almond eyed Celestial"
will have to tip his hat in future.
Captain j. RI Nc Donald OF the
schooner Morning Light arrived at this
port Sunday night with $500 lobsters
During the recent trip Of the schooner
Sthe captain put into the. little fishing
hamlet of South Addison TO see II any
of the inhabitants had any Holsters to
dispose Of, He fonpd man named
Crowley, who had several hundred for
fsa1e, aand q trade was Immediately
agreed upon ID Captain Mcdonald laid
his schooner alongside of Crowley s lob
lster cars. and tho transfer Of Holsters
began, The purchaser noticed that the
Holsters We're not any loo large, SO he
ithopght it might be a good plan to
measure, one. 5t sS47s fti lH

ployed an measuring Holsters, SO few
words of explanation on this point may
not be aniiss. At one end of q lobster's s
body is "a little pointed projection Which
the fishermen call d "jibboom,p In
measuring Il lobster the distance 10 taken
from the end of the njibbeemn to the
tip Of his tail If it is 101S, inches or
over,, the lobster is O., X. If it is even a
sixteenth Of an inch less than this, the
lobster is wrong-in the state of
Maine-and it is apt to prove very ex
pensive for any man being found with
many Of them in his possession.
Captain Mcdonald picked up one of
the wriggling crutaceans and applied
his measuring stick. when, greatly to
his surprise, the lobster's ''jibboom'
began to disappear inside of his shell.
On making closer examination Cap
tain Mcdonald found this particular
lobster's jibboom was made of metal.
On pulling it from the shell he discov'-
cred that it consisted of piece of a
rusty iron nail filed down to point,
and as the Holsters were green the de-
ception would only be discovered by a
close scrutiny. OF course the object of
the trick was at once apparent, being
simply to make the lobster 101S inches
long. 'g'3 't
On examining 40 of the Holsters
which had been placed on board the
schooner, Captain Mcdonald found ten
of them with ''iron constitutions. =" SO

A man with ingenuity enough to
make such an alteration on lobster, as
just related, should never waste his
time in little down east fishing ham
let. He ought to go to Chicago, where
he could find a broader field for his tai
ents. Eastern Argus. t'ne

TUES MADE FROM SOLID METAL.

1I n
Consul Mason's oflciai Report on tho I'M.
portant Erhardt Process
Advance sheets Of recent consular
report by Consul General Mason d
Frankfort give an interesting descrip'
tion Of the Erhardt process Of manufl 4
turing tubuhr bodies ont of solid me5
without casting, boring Or welding.
A cube Of steel is heated cherrg. Al
and dropped into massive matrix q
the outward form required. A mandrel
is then thrust forward by immcnss by
draulic pressure. 1t enters the stecl cube
and presses the metal outward to6t the
depressions i'll the matrix. Owingto the
force exerted, the metal yields Ike but
ter and gives an exact impression Of tho
hollows in the matrix.,
The advantages of this treatment arc
the uniform strength and consistency
given to every part of the article pro
duced, with the utmost lightness com
patible with sufficient strength to Ell
dure necessary strains.
Already the German government haa
adopted this method of making the out
or casing of shrapnel shells, to the ex
clusion of all methods formerly in use.
The process has also been applied tn
the manufacture of gun barrels, hollow
TASKS for containing hquefied carbonic
and other acids and parts of machinery
where lightness and strength are desir-
able.
1t may also be applied to the manu-
facture of hollow ware, and its useful
ness is not confined to articles Md "
steel. Wrought iron, copper and other
malleable metals are susceptible Of tho
same treatment, the only condition be!
ing that each metal should be worked at
the temperature which insuros its great
estamount Of malleability and ductility,
Seamless copper tubes of 20 feet i'll
length have already been produced with
commercial success by this process.
In the old method of boring the solid
block it often happened that the strong
est and densest part of the metal was
turned into shapings Under the Erhardt
process this is impossible, as the com
preston gives the finished block an
equal and uniform density, without
seams or flaws. New York Times.

IL is Considered Certain That He

Chicago, Nov. 2S-The Times-Herald

Walter Wellman, its Washington cor
respondent:
Bishop John j. Keane. ex-rectOr OF
Tue roman Catholic university, is in a
falr way TO triumph over the enemy
who caused his deposition and humili-
alton. He is almost certain to have a
cardinals hat placed upon his brow by
the pope, and he may soon return from
Rome virtually the head If the Catho-
lie church of America. Bishop Keane
will sail for Rome Dee. ;. He will
arrive in Baltimore on Saturday and
remain the guest Of Cardinal Gibbons
until the Monday following. At the
earnest request of his Washington
friends the bishop, contrary to his orig
inal intentions, has consented to paw a
brief visit to his old home at the uni
vcrSity. At the institution there is an
unmiStakoable feeling of exultation
over the present aspect of the cX-reC-
tors future. Rev. Philip J. Garrigan.
the acting rector pending the arrival
of the new appOintee, DIR. Thomas J..
COnaty, said:
There Is not the slightest doubt that
Bishop Keane has been summoned to
Rome To receive the highest hOnors
that the holy father can confer upon
him. He has been requested to make
his visit in terms Of such kindness and
cordiality that, though he intended to
spend at least this winter in absolute
quiet and retirement. he will comply
with the courteous request of the Vat
lean. 1t is likely he will remain in
Rome at least a year, in any event.
Should he then return to the United
States it will be to fill an exalted posi-
ton on the hierarchy. If the holy
father destincs him to remain perma-
nently in Rome it is not too much to
predict that he intends to reward the
bishops eminent services TO the RO-
man Catholic church in America by
comforting on him n cardinals hat"
