We Use Millions of Split Steel Rings, But
 Don't Make Any.

We Use Millions of Split Steel Rings, But
 Don't Make Any.
 i've handled and sold forty thou sand gross of split key rings since 1s67,'' said the little man in an over- coat and white sweater, land not one of them was of American make"
 "Why, how IS that?' asked a New York Sun reporter.
 ''Because there are none made in this country" replied the little man, with a smile that lifted one corner of his gray mustache. "No, sir," he con- tinued, ''the making of split steel rings is an art that we haven't got hold of yet, somehow, and I must say l often wonder at it."
 Where are they made, then?"
 ''The best, sir, are made about fifty seven miles outside of Paris, at a little manufacturing town whose name I can't just now recall. The next best rings are made in Sheffield, England, while rings of inferior quality, made from Swedish iron, are manufactured in Alsace. don't know that the steel in the French rings is any better than that used by the Sheffield manufac- turers, but the Frenchmen in this, as in so many things, have got the hang of making their things look well. The Sheffield rings are polished with oil and emery, and that gives them dull steely look, while the French rings are polished by the dry process, with what they call 'crocus powder sort of coarse rouge"
 "What are the extremes in size of split rings?' the man was asked.
 ''The smallest that ever handled" /" he replied, ''were three-sixteenths of an inch across. They are gilded when they reach this country and are used in cheap jewelry. The largest key rings ever sold were two and half inches in diameter, and those sold to the wardens at Sing Sing. In fact, they are called pri~ ~on rings. That key ring with the two little knobs or bosses through which you slip the key, is also a French manufacture, and indeed l have never seen an American key ring except that clumsy little thing where you have to move around small round double plate with a notch in it, and then spring out the open end of the ring through this notch. must say," con- cluded the little man, musingly, q often wonder why we don't make rings over here. Even now there's a forty-fve per cent. duty on them, and they could be sold at half their present price and still bring a good profit. Why, just think, l sell over one hun dred and fifty thousand rings year, and there must be millions of them handled every year in this country"

Te1egraphing with 8 Steam Whistle.

While Edison, then boy, was living in Port Huron, he found one of those opportunities to distinguish himself that seem to be always falling in the way of some men. The anecdote is re- lated in ''The Life and Inventions of Edison," recently published. It was near the end of an exceptionally severe winter, and the ice had formed in such masses as to sever the cable between Port Huron and the Canadian city of Sarnia. The river, mile and half wide, was impossible, and multitudes of people were greatly inconvenieneed. Edison, who had just learned to tel egraph, saw way out of the difficulty. Jumping upon railway engine, he be- gan to whistle in the rhythmic cadences of the Morse alphabet: 'Hullo, Sarn1a! Sarnia, do you get what say?" No an- swer. Again and again the short and the long toots shaped themselves into the dots and dashes of telegraphy, and

Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidity by a
 Recc,+ E-~ ',--~--'--,
 There is no doubt that both the type writing machine and the photograph are very ingenious and useful inven- tions, but the chief difficulty with them, says the New York Times, is that they cannot be made to act auto matically. It is in order to. fill this want that a distinguished inventor, whose name is for the present with held, has invented an automatic writer, and, judging from the private exhibi- tion of the machine which was recently given in London to committee ot members of the Royal society, it bids fair to prove the greatest invention oi this or any age.
 In appearance the machine is said tc be not wholly unlike typewritlng machine. It, however, is provided with a sort of hopper, in which are placed blocks of type metal, each one of which is provided with a complete word, in stead of single letter. When this hopper is filled and the small electric engine which furnishes the motive power of the machine is set in action it instantly begins to print. Of course, what is printed depends in good de- gree upon the selection of words which are placed in the hopper, but it is un- derStood the machine can be used for almost uny sort of composition.
 At the exhibition already mentioned the hopper was filled with supply of words relating to the English political situation, and in ten minutes after the engine had been started the machine had Eprinted two.full columns, each of about the length of an ordinary col umn of a newspaper. When these were read they were instantly recognized to be speech on home rule in the general style of MT. Gladstone. The hopper was next filled with choice selection of the very finest words in the Ian guage, and the machine thereupon printed what was at once perceived tc be an essay after the manner of MT. Ruskin on political economy. More words were added and three pages oi what any critic would have unhesi- tatingly accepted as a passage from a new novel by MT. Meredith delighted the committee.

Hard to Get Rid Of.

John G. Whittier was greatly loved by strangers, who not only called on him, but thriftily insisted on putting up with him all night. ''Thee has no idea," said his sister, ''how much time Greenleaf spends trying to lose these people in the streets. Sometimes he comes home and says: Well, sister, had hard work to lose him, but I have lost him. But I can never lose a her. The women are more pertinacious than the men; don't thee find them SO, Maria?'"

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.

The welfare of New Mexico demands
that the Democratic parry put forward
this year its very best and strongest men
for the public offices. Particularly is
there need of exercising care in the selec-
ton of a candidate for delegate in con-
gress, for should the Democracy's stand
ard bearer be man who is in the least
degree weak; who has not the full and
enthusiastic support of his party, and
who is not possessed of the ability and
the tact to harmonize all differences now
existing or that may be reasonably ex-
pected to arise in the party, then and in
that event New Mexico would suffer
staggering blow. Such a mistake at this
juncture would be next to criminal, for
it would at the very outset of the cam
paign open and prepare the way for Re-
publican success which means four or
five years more of inaction as to state
hood and all the other progressive in
terests now practically within the grasp
of our people through Democratic suc-
cess. The responsibility resting upon
the Democrats Of New Mexico at this
time is greater than they have been called
upon to deal with in years. The leaders
must rise to the Importance of the situa-
ton, and, first of all, must seek to pro-
mote harmony and good fellowship in
party ranks, then nominate the right sor..
of a man and the victory will be assured
from the outset.
