NICKEL PLATE ARMOR.

The action of congress in deciding
that not more than $500 a ton shall
be paid by the government for armor
plate and the remarkable success of
American armor plate manufacturers,
they having sold a large amount to
Russia in competition with all the
world, make interest in the subject as
fresh and keen today as when the ex-
pertinent was first made some FIVE
years ago. AS the result of the sue
cessful experiments of the American
government with nickel steel, the En-
glish naval authorities were compelled
to adopt it, while France has also
adopted it. In the February number
of the Engineering Magazine is an ar
ticle on Nickel Steel in Metallurgy,
Mechanics and Armor," by Mr.. H. w
Raymond. He is of opinion that it
will come into general use for many
purposes. On this point he says.
AS the many valuable qualities of
nickel steel come TO be more widely
known its use will become much more
extensive, and it will receive new ap-
plicationS. Even now it is used largely
for parts of machinery, such as shaft
ing, connecting rods, piston rods, etc.
If, as asserted, the metal can be cast,
cut drilled and turned easily and well
it will have a wide application in ma
chinery, especially for use in the parts
which are usually kept bright. It's nom
corrodibility adapts it admirably to
such situations. Handles, levers, wheels,
keys and many minor parts can be
made TO great advantage from a ma
terial like this, which will not rust
quickly from the moisture of the hand;
and heavier uses will be found in the
working parts of large machinery ex-
posed to unfavorable conditions of drip
or atmospheric moisture.
Mr.. Raymond tells of the adoption of
nickel steel in American armor. It is
very interesting and is as follows:
1t is rather curious fact that the
name given to the metal which, as an
alloy with steel. has effected so COM
pIete a revolution in modern arnor and
bids fair to develop possibilities of
which the metallurgist Of a few years
ago had no conception. should have
been given it originally in derision,
owing to the impression that it was
but a base ore Of copper. Its use in
coioring glass and in various alloys,
as in German silver, is by no means of
modern date. G-Sr is its use as an alloy

STATE SENATE EXECUTIVE SEES.
SIONS.

There is no reason in the world, so
far as the public can see, why the
state senate should hold executive ses-
sions in secret, unless it be that the
constitution authorizes them and the
senate likes to show its regard for
that instrument. Secret executive
sessions of the United States senate
have become a farce and the people
of the country regard them with more
contempt. than anything else. Yet
there is some justification for such
sessions when a treaty is under con-
sideration, and that is the only time
there is any justification.
The proceedings of the state or "a
tional senate in secret executive ses-
sion are held about as tight as water
in a sieve And when they become
known it is generally found that they
were unimportant and uninterasting.
The air of mystery that usually sur
rounds them is the same as that which
surrounds most humbugs.
Is there any necessity whatever for
secret executive sessions oe the state
senate? What matter can the senate
consider in secret that the people can
not be trusted with the knowledge of?
Tuesday there was an executive ses-
sion to consider some nominations
sent in by the governor. They were
considered in secret, and The morning
papers had full and accurate accounts
of the proceedings. Yet the session
was secret. And what transoired at
that session that could not have been
cried from the hoasetops? Not
thing in the world. If any :sLator
has any objection 20 any guber7atoIial
nominee, any good and valid reason
why he should not be confirmed, the
people have a right to knox what it
is. The clause in the state conStitu-
ton permitting the senate TO 50 into
secret executive session should never
have been inserted, and its insertion
was but a blind Difference to a like
provision in the fedora, constitution
having no proper place in state COZ
stitution. Away with sacret sessions
of the state senate!

RELLAS, HAIL!

Little land so great of heart,
Midst a world so abject grown
Must thou play thy glorious part,
HellaS, gloriously alone?
Shame on Europe's arms, If she
Leaves her noblest work to thee!
While she slept her sleep of death,
Thou hast dared and thou hast done;
Faced the Shape whose dragon breath
Fouls the splendor of the sun.
Thine TO show the world way,
Thine the only deed today.
Thou, in this thy starry hour,
Sittest throned all thrones above.
Thou art more than pomp and power,
Thou art liberty and love.
Doubts and fears in dust be trod:
On, thou mandatory of Godi
Knaves and dastards,s none beside.
All the just in all the lands
Hail thee blest and Sanctifed-
Curst who would thy triumph mar,
Be he Kaiser, be he Car.
Breathing hatred, plotting strife,
Rending beauty. blasting joy,
LOathSOme round the tree of life
Coils the worm we would destroy.
Whose smites you, Thing Abhorred,
Holy, holy is his sword.
Foul with slough of all things i'll.
Turkey lies full sick. men say;
Not SO sick but she hath still
Strength to torture, spoil and Slayi
Oh, that ere this hour were past,
She were prone in death at last
Kings, like lackeys, at. her call
Raise her, lest in mire she reel.
Only through her final fall
Comes the hope Of human veal.
Slowly, by such deeds as thine,
Breaks afar the light divine.
Not since first thy wine-dark wave
Laughed in multitudinous mirth.
Hath a deed more pure and brave
Flushed the wintry cheek of Earth.
There is heard no melody
Like thy footsteps on the sea.
Fiercely sweet as stormy springs,
Mighty hopes are blowing wide;
Passionate prehguringS
OF a world revivified:
Dawning thoughts, that ere they set
Shall possess the ages yet.
Oh, that she were with thee ranged,
Who, for all her faults, can still,
In her heart of hearts, unchanged,
Feel the old heroic thrill;
She, my land, my loved. mine own
Yet thou art not left alone.
All the powers that soon or late
Gain for man some sacred goal,
Are co-partners in thy fate.
Are companions of thy soul.
Unto thee all earth shall bow:
These are heaven, and these are thou.

William E. Curtis tells this story of
the new secretary of the treasury: Mr..

Ali the members of the Chicago colony
in Washington were present, and many
visitors from Chicago, who appreciated
the thoughtfulness of Mr.. Gage in in
vitng them to witness the little cere-
rnony, which is simple enough, but
very important. In taking the oath
of Office, Mr. Cages loyalty to his home
was again exhibited. 1t was an ac-
extent, of course, but it was never
theless very apropos. As Chief Jus
tee Fuller stood up before him TO
read the oath of Office, which Mr. Gage
was te repeat, the latter said nervous
