PAINTS FOR IRON WORK.
Results of Interesting Experiments Co
Quoted by Prof. Spennrath.

Results of Interesting Experiments Con-
Quoted by Prof. Spennrath.
Prof. Spennrath has been collecting
some useful facts as 10 modern expert
ence in the painting of iron work. He
concludes that none of the metallic
oxides commonly used combine chem
ically with linseed oil. The drying
process depends exclusively upon an
absorption Of oxygen by the oil, which
is facilitated by the presence of the pig
ment in a mechanical way. The value
of the different pigments used varies.
Thus, zinc white, when used for outside
work, rapidly swells to double it's pre-
vious volume, owing to the absorption
of carbonic acid gas and water. Sui
phureted hydrogen will cause red or
white lead to act in a similar way. In
order to test the relative durability Of
various paints, sheets of zinc were
coated with number of different kinds.
The zinc was then dissolved by acid,
leaving a film of paint. All these films,
it was found, could be destroyed by the
action of diluted nitric or hydrochloric
acids, the vapors of sulphuric and acetic
acids acting similarly. Alkaline fluids
and gases also destroyed the paints
rapidly. Pure water was found to be
more injurious than salt water; the de-
structive action of sea water is there
fore to be attributed mainly to the me-
chanical effects of wash. Hot water
acted more rapidly than cold. Tho
most important discovery made by
Prof. Spennrath was, however, the
great influence of temperature. Films
similar to those already mentioned COM
pletely lost their elasticity and became
brittle when exposed to a temperature
of 2o3 degrees Fahrenheit. There was
at the same time much contraction.
Similar effects were produced by pro-
lcnged exposure to much lower temper
atures. Blistering is found to result
from the inner coat of paint being so
thick that it has not hardened thor
oughly before the second COATS applied.

METEORITE MYSTERY.
Journey That Would Take Seven Milo

Journey That Would Take Seven Million
Years to Cover.
When a meteorite strikes the earth
1t ends journey of 100000 years, be-
gun centuries before the Christian era.
This is on the basis that it came from
star, for it would, according to as
Economical calculation, require the full
time given to make the trip from star
to earth.
just what these meteorites are and
from whence they come are things that
even those who have spent their lives
in studying the stars can yet do barely
more than conjecture.
An article on this subject, from the
pen of Camille Flammarion, the great
French astronomer, has just appeared
in Paris, and is of especial interest, as
it gives hitherto unpublished details
regarding the great aerolite that burst
over Spain the month before last.
"The sun was shining brightly in the
blue sky, when at 9:29:3O o'clock in the
forenoon of Monday, February. 10, the
people of Madrid suddenly saw flash
of blindingly brilliant light in the sky
above them, which seemed to set the
whole heavens afame. 1t appeared to
emanate from a white cloud, which
hung like puff of smoke high up to-
ward the zenith, having the form of
semicircle, with it's convex side to-
ward the east, and tipped with Grim
son hue at its outer edge"
M. Flammarion says that projec-
tile sent from the earth with speed
OF 1000 meters (nearly $4,000 feet) per
second-aIlowance being made for the
resistance of the air-would never fall
back to the earth.
A projectile sent with speed of 10,
coo to 1900 meters Ca meter is about
1928 feeD would fall only after hun
dreds of thousands of years. A projec-
tile launched with an initial velocity
of from 5000 to 10000 meters per second
would fall after thousands of years.
Therefore, it seems" says NJ. Flam-
marion, that certain number of me-
teorites must come from these different
sources. Without doubt some Of
them may be the dust of defunct worlds
wandering in space. But their analogy
with the interior rocks of the terres-
trial globe would seem to indicate that
many of them come from our own
planet. Those which arrive with a
small velocity may have the moon for
their origin, but the great speed with
which some of them strike the earth
indicates that they come from some
star. From the nearest star to the
earth is journey which it would take
a meteorite no less than 100000 of
wears to make"

The Shape of the Moon.

According to the teachings of adj
vanced modern astronomy it is mis-
take to suppose that the shape of the
moon is similar to that of the earth.
IL is believed nowadays that the moon
is a perfect ellirse, its figure being
being nearly exactly one-third longer
than it is broad. he elliptical theory
of our satellites shape is founded on
the well-known fact that certain side
lend, rather) of the moon is always pre-
scented to our view. This is caused by
the moon revolving once on her axis
in exactly the some period of time that
she revolves around the earth. HeI
elongated shape was probably caused
by the attraction of the earth when
both planets were young and soft.

inent business men of the town. She
married the major on January 25, 1871,
and their life since then, so everybody
says, has been an ideal one. When she
was Ida Sexton she was considered one
Ct the bellies of Ohio. After graduating
from Brook Hall seminary, at Media,
Pa, she travelled through Europe; and
upon her return acted as assistant cash
Ter or manager in her fathers bank.
Naturally the bright young woman was
paid considerable attention by the
Young men of her acquaintance; but,
to use a modern slang phrase, Maj. Nc
Kinley had a cinch" on her affections
and, what was equally important, Oh
her fathers esteem. Rumor has it
and rumor, you know, never lics-that
when the young lawyer asked for his
daughters hand old James Saxton said:
You are the only man l have ever
Known to whom l would cntrust my
daughter"
In prosperity and adversityMrs. Nc
Kinley has been her husbands guide,
philosopher and friend, and although a
confirmed invalid for years she has
never spared herself when she thought
she could promote his interests and am
billions. The home life of the couple
has always been regulated by the wife;
and the ease and grace with which she
entertains visitors, whenever her health
permits, are pleasant to contemplate.
The Mckinley home is cheerful,
rather old-fashioned mansion, taste
fully furnished and conveniently ar
ranged. Like its occupants, it is solid
and substantial. The lawn surrounding
it is spacious and neatly kept, and hand
some trees add not little to the attrac-
tiveness of the place. Should the Nc
Kinleys be destined to dwell in the white
house their thoughts will, no doubt,
often go back, regretfully, to the pretty
Canton house.
Both Maj and Mrs. Mckinley are
members Of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Canton, and have always
taken deep interest in its prosperity
as well as in all humanitarian and re-
ligious movements, Both are fond of
good books and art, two of the chief
treasures of their home being a choice
collection of pictures and statuary.

WITH a BARREL OF OYSTERS.
How . Great Russian Banker Bought His
Freedom from Serfdom.

How q Great Russian Banker bought Hia
Freedom from Serfdom.
One of the best-known banking houses
of ST. Petersburg, and the ore to which
most American visitors to Russia carry
letters of credit is that of Messrs
Shalounine 81 Sons, the founder OF
which, father of the present head OF
the firm, owed his liberation from serf-
dom Is years before the decree of eman-
cipation to barrel Of oysters. Old
Shalounine was serf belonging to
Count Sheremetieff, one of the wealthiest
mobiles in Russia. He had frequently
entreated the count to grant him his
freedom, offering him as much as $780,
900 for the boon. But money was no
object to the count, and it gratificd his
pride to feel that one of the leading
bankers of the empire was one of mis-
serfs, unable to marry either his sons
or his daughters without his masters
consent. Moreover, serf, the banker
was liable to have his money seized and
confiscated ut any moment by the count,
since everything that belonged to a
serf, including his wife, children and
property, belonged ipso facto to his
master.
One day Shalounine, who had just
that very morning returned to the cap
ital from Odessa, called at the Shereme-
tieff palace for the purpose of reporting
his arrival, as in duty bound, to his
owner. He had brought with him a
barrel of delicious Criplean oysters for
presentation to the count, but left them
in his carriage at the palace door until
he should have obtained his masters
Intimation that the gift was accept
able.
On entering the presence of the count
the banker found him surrounded by
party Of guests and engaged in berat-
ing the chief butler for neglecting to
provide oysters for the breakfast to
which they were about to sit down. The
butler was explaining to the count that
there were no oysters to be got in the
capital at that moment for love or
money. Catching sight of the serf-
banker, the count exclaimed:
ooh, it is thou again; thou art come
to poster me once more for thy liberia
I should not know what to do with thy
money. But stay, will tell thee some
thing. Get me some oysters for my
breakfast and thou shalt have thy free
DOM"
Shalounine bowed low, left the room,
fetched the small barrel of oysters
which he had left in his carriage at the
door, and laid it at the feet of his mas
ter.
AS soon as the barrel had been opened,
the count called for pen and paper,
wrote out a declaration emancipating
both the banker and his family from
serfdom, and then bowling courteously
to the man who but q moment before
had been his slave, exclaimed: "And,
now, my dear Mr.. Shalounine-wiIly you
give us the pleasure of your company

committee on ways and means, on which
he served until the end of his congress
sional career. While acting Us chair
| man, during his last term, he was in
strumental in formulating the histor-
| ical tariff measure known as the Nc
| Kinley bill, which has made his name
| familiar in all countries with which
the country has commercial relations.
In 1891, after his retirement from
| congress, Maj. Mckinley was nominated
| for governor by the republicans of Ohio,
and after one of the most hotly-contest-
ed campaigns in the history of the state
was elected by plurality of over 21,-
500. His administration proved so ex-
cellent that he was renominated in 1899
and reelected by the enormous majority
of $1,000. .H .".
Much is said by Cantonians about the
majors loyalty to principles and
friends. When he was a delegate AT
large to the national convention of 1881
his name was sprung for the presden-
tial nomination, and he might easily
have secured the coveted prize, but n
strong address he forbade the use of
his name for the reason that he had
pledged his support to Senator Sher-
man. The same thing was repeated in
1892, when, in the face of the most
urgent appeals from friends from Ohio
and elsewhere, he declined to accept .
nomination and carried the day for Har-
rison.
Should any foolhardy individual VEN
ture to say ought against Maj. McKin-
ley's personal appearance he would be
torn to pieces by Canton mob. AS far
IS l am concerned, could see nothing
Napoleonic about the ex-governor. He
struck me as very pleasant-looking
gentleman of medium stature and
weight, who looks one squarely in the
eye and seems to read ones thoughts.
He is probably five feet eight in height,
and weighs about $50 pounds-just the
correct proportion for man of his age.
There is nothing about him to remind
one of Bonaparte's cold stare or naughty
impudencc, nor of the Corsican's
treachery and cruelty.
When ! mentioned this to pleasant
Canton matron she agreed with me, and
clinched the argument by adding: IF
he had been a cruel man, or naughty
man, Ida Sexton would never have mar
ried him." This observation led to =
chat about the home life of the McKin-
lcys, and l was pleased to learn that
Mrs. Mckinley is scarcely less esteemed
than her distinguished husband. She is
a Canton girl, the daughter of James A.
Sexton, who was one of the most prom

itor. And that is why the newer of wood

The life history of the modern Ma
poleon is on the lips of every boy and
girl. Without waiting for an invitation
the youngsters will tell you that their
famous fellow-townsman was born in
the little town of Niles, TrumbuIl coun-
ty, o., January 20, 1S43, the son of a pros
porous iron manufacturers; that he re-
ceived his education inthe public schools
and at the Poland (Mahoning county,
academy; and that in June, 1861, he en-
listed in the Twenty-third Ohio volun-
teer infantry as a private. They will
also tell you that on September "a, 1862,
he was promoted to second lieutenant;
on February Z, 1863, to first lieutenant;
on July 25, 1864, to captain; and that he
was breveted major by President Lin
coin for gallant services at the battles
of Opequan, Fishers Hill and Cedar
Creek. They will conclude his war his
tory by informing you that he served
with distinction OH the staff of eX-Presi-
dent Hayes and Maj. Gen. George Crook,
and that after the latter's capture he
served for n time on Gen. Hancock's
staff, and subsequently on the staff Of
Gen. S. S. Carroll; that he was with tine
gallant Twenty-third Ohio in all its bat.
ties, and was mustered out with it OIL
July &c, 1865.
After the close of the war the young
major studied law with Hon. Charles
Il. Glidden and David Wilson, of Ma
honing county, o., and then attended
the Albany On. W law school. In 1866
he was admitted to the bar, and located
in Canton, which he has since made hi
home. Two years later he was elected
prosecuting attorney of Stark county;
and in 1876 his neighbors sent him Il
