several hundred dollars worth of farming

Very Fine Writing.

A machine has been invented, which
is composed Of exquisitely graduated
wheels, running tiny diamond point
at the end Of an almost equally tiny
arm, whereby one is able to write upon
glass the whole of the Lords prayer
within a space which measured the
294th part of an inch in length by the
440th part of an inch in breadth or
about the measurement Of the dot over
the letter 81" in common print, says the
Philadelphia Record. With this ma
chine any one who understood ope-
rating it could write the whole 3,566,aSO
letters of the Bible eight times over the
space of an inch-a square inch A
specimen Of this marvellous microscopic
writing was enlarged by photography,

told the miners they, too, could secure
the advance if they would but insist on it
and suspend work until the union officials
and. operators could get together and set
tie ON n uniform scale. Before Mr.. Ratch-
ford had finished the men were wildly en-
thusiastic, and when the vote was taken
every man voted to resume the strike.
From Braceville Mr.. Ratchford and his
brother officials drove across country to
Coal City, where 400 miners were gath
cred. Speechmaking took up the entire
afternoon. There was no dissenting voice
on the vote to resume the strike for ten
days or until the operators would agree to
arbitrate.
President Ratchford and several miners
officials held conference at Streator
with several operators Saturday morning.
A. l.. Sweet of Chicago talked for the
operators. He declared he for one would
never arbitrate. He said he did not know
a man in the State whom he would trust
to arbitrate a difference between work
men and employers. He believed the men
always got the best of it.
The indications are that the entire
northern Illinois mining district will be
tied up again. A letter from the district
chairman at Springfield contained the in
formation that committee of miners had
had conference with Gov. Tanner ON
the Chinese proposition, and that the
Governor had not only said that he would
not permit the importation of Cinnamon,
but that there should be no Gatling guns
to coerce the men back into the mines
The Governor said that if he found that
the operators We're building stockades
about the mines he would see that they
were torn down. The Governor referred
to the Chicago ex-policemen, who, it was
said, were to be sent there to protect non.
