seif Har,isninr steel

Tho employment of solf hardening steel
is said to be rapidly extending. 1t is char.
actcrizcd us il kind of steel which is hard
when in its normal state, rs it cools nat
urally In tho atmosphere there boing no
necessity of quenching it in water or Of
cooling 1t rapidly from red heat In any
manner. 1t becomes soft enough to DO shap-
ed into simple forms when rcdhot, is of a
nature that will not endure q white heat
and is ut much higher temperature mt
such heat than wrought iron is when it Is
equally luminous and throws % dark rod
spark from the emery wheel when thore is
much carbon in its composition. Accord
ing to Spaulding, the we'll known writer
OH mctallurgy, it appears that wherever
this kind of steel Is used it ovorcomos in a
short time tho prejudice which its employ
mont generally meots. Thus tool dressors
aro said to Lo not favorably disposed to-
ward it ct the start, because it is worry hard
to work into shape upon tho anvil, and
nothing whatever can BIO done In the way
Of cutting Oh bonding it whom it is cold.
After tho tool comes back to be dressed
over there is danger THAT defects may be
disclosed upon relocating. New York Sun.

A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.

Listening on tho leo Floe to tho Roar OF
tho Coming Storm.
When tho swell is heavy in the ice
pack, it is often very difficult to ascer-
tain from which direction it comes, and
just as difficult as it is, just so impor-
tant may it DO that it should be found
out rightly, as tho safety of tho ship
might wholly depend upon correct judg-
ment as to this. When the hugo ice
masses begin to movo and screw and
press OH the sides of tho vessel, rising
and falling in heavy swell, then there
is only ono escape-namely, to work tho
vessel into the fields away from the side
from which the gallo blows. A mistake
as to the direction of tho running swell
has often proved fatal, and tho mistake
is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in
hours of dread in the arctic icepack he
had laid his ear down to tho ice foe and
listened to the roar of the coming swell
that terrible message from the furious
gale-and how he thus had discovered
whence the gale was pressing and had
been able TO save the ship from destruc-
tIon. I tried his method gnd found That
it worked admirably. What is we'll
worth noticing is that open water nearly
always is to be found in the ice pack on
one side Of icebergs. The icebergs that
we met were generally in motion, car
ried onward by the ruling current. Of
ten they ran forward in the icefelds at
speed Of several knots, piling up the
huge foes before their cold, glittering
bows, but behind them they left an open
sheet of water large enough for any ship.
Now, there would Of course be many
dangers for vessel tugged along in the
ice pack by such floating monster, but
l believe nevertheless that this method
might be instrumental in saving YES
sci from being crushed when the icefleld
is moving heavily.-C. E. Borchgrevink

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
General Enrrison Explains How 1t Yves
Made by the People.

General Harrison Explains How 1t Yves
Mado by the People.
Ex-President Harrison's paper in The
Ladies' Home Journal'o of "This Coun-
try of OurH' series treats comprehcn-
sively OF the constitution and its appli-
cation and operation, defining tho in
strument, its scope and limitations
clearly. "Tho word constitution, - ho
writes, "as used among us implies a
written instrument, but i'll England it
Is used to describe governmental sys-
tenn or organization made up of charters
las the Magma Charitable general
acts of parliament and a body of long
established legal usages or customs.
These are not compiled in any single in
strument. as with Us, but are to be
sought i'll many places.
The common American usage in
making state constitution is to elect
by popular vote delegates to conven-
ton, whose duty it is to prepare plan
of government. When the delegates
have agreed and have properly certified
the instrument, it is submitted to di-
rect vote Of the people, and each voter
casts ballot For the constitution or
Against the constitution. If majority
vote for tho constitution, it then be-
comes the paramount law Of the state.
The Legislature does not make the con-
stitution; tho constitution makes the
legislature. The American idea is that
constitutions proceed from the people in
tho exercise Of their natural right of self
government and can only DO amended
or superseded by the people. Whatever
ono Legislature or congress enacts the
next one may repeal, but neither can re-
peal or infringe Il constitutional provi-
sion.
'The delegates to tho convention that
framed the constitution of tho United
States were not, however, chosen by q
popular vote i'll the states, but by the
legislatures. Nor was the question of
the adoption of the constitution submit
ted i'll tho states to u direct popular
vote. Il There have been 8 amend
ments to tho constitution adopted Ten
of these were proposed TO tho legisla-
lures Of tho states by tho First congress
and ratified. Tho other five amendments
have i'll like manner been submitted by
congress to tho state legislatures for rat

having been used i'll anycase. 1t will be
noticed also that the vote upon tho
adoption of the constitution and upon
amendments thereto is by states, each
state, without regard to its population,
having ono vote. But while these proyi-
sions mako the popular control less di-
rect than is usual i'll the states and nee
essarily recognize the states III the proc
css of making and amending tho consti-
tuition, tho idea that constitutions pro-
coed from tho people is not lost"
