What's the Matter!

"What's the matter with Han
ma" now? Here is the statement
made that the cotton manufact-
urers Of New England are max
ing arrangements for quite an ey-
tensiva shut down during the
summer and that the large divi-
dends which some Of them have
been paying were taken from
earnings previous to 1893. We
have a faint recollection that it
was Maj. Mckinley, who stood on
his front porch last summer and
proclaimed that if elected "he
would open the mills to labor" "
And another saying of his became
campaign cry, open the mills
rather than the mints.' But now
the mills are shutting rather than
opening and labor is about to be

PrincetOn'S Most Valuable Books.

The library at Princeton has
two books so very extraordinary
that they are not trusted to the
library building, but are kept in
a safety deposit vault in New
\ ork city. They are said to be the
most valuable copies of Virgil in
existence, and were part of the
famous collection of rare books
presented TO the college bv Junius
Morgan. An idea of the value
placed upon these two volumes
can be had from the fact that an
insurance of $1,000 is carried on
them. The librarian at Prince
ton College is authority for these
figures. When the new wing of
the library building is finished
such arrangements Will be per-
fected for the safe Keeping of
these two valuable books that
they may be transferred to Prince
ton and kept in the library.

FOUGHT FIRE four DAYS.
Terrible Experience Of the Crew
Of the German Steamship
H. H. Meier.

The Bremen Line steamship H. H.
Meier arrived at her pier in Hoboken
Yesterday afternoon after very exciting
voyage, For four days, while the Meier
was at sea. a fierce fire ragged between
decks and the crew worked increasingly
day and night endeavorng to extinguish
IL. 70 add to the confusion caused by
the fire. a violent storm was in progress
during the entire trip.
The Meier left Bremerhaven on Febru-
ary Is and should have been due here
March l2. There were on board 800 steer
age and % cabin passengers. At five
o'clock on the morning of March 4, while
IN latitude 1890 north and longitude 10:3O
west, Second officer Eeyn was standing
on the bridge when one of the crew re-
ported to him that he had smelled smoke
coming from the matches on the forward
deck. Captain Mentz gave orders to have
the matches all fastened down and the
steam pumps We're put in operation. The
pumps had little effect on the blaze and
when the matches were opened again a
volume of smoke and fire shot out. A
regular hurricane was blowing at the
time and the passengers being unable to
NSiilsii = oltt vi deCh were MOI aware Ul
the danger surrounding them.
Captain Mentz gave strict orders to
have all the passengers kept from the
deck and the crew were directed to board
up the cabin windows SO that the pas
sengers could not see the crew at work
On the night of March 5 the crew were
driven from their sleeping apartments by
the smoke and made their berths aft On
March the fire was still raging and the
storm grew in force until the crew We're
almost compelled to leave the deck Cap
tain Mentz decided to turn back and
headed his ship for Falmouth England
which was the nearest port. 1t was not
until the ship had reached Falmouth OH
March s that the fire was extinguished
The passengers had learned of the fire
by then, but the officers informed them
that the danger was all over and they
had nothing to fear. The only confusion
was in the .steerage, where for a time
there was a small panic when the fire
became known. The officers soon quoted
the passengers, however, by assuring
them that the fire had been .extinguished.
The cargo in the forward compartments
were all unloaded at Falmouth. 1t was
discovered that the damage to the cargo
would exceed 100000.
The Meier left Falmouth for this port
on March IS. During the trip the rough
weather continued but the ship rode the

REMOVING PAINT.
The Sand Blast Used on steel and
Er0n Work.

Removing old paint from metal surf
aces in structural steel and iron work
bridges, for example. and the like-pre
vious to repainting involves an expendi-
ture of time and money quite beyond the
conception OF anyone who has never
given the matter serious consideration.
Whether the sand. blast, which is so
efficient in cleaning castings would per
form satisfactorily in this direction is.
therefore, a question of considerable eco
nonlic interest. Whatever experimant
has thus far been. made has shown.
what was to be expected, that when the
paint is reasonably new and the oil is In
a slightly elastic state, it is exceedingly
difficult to remove it by sand blast.
though later, when the oil has become
more oxidized from longer exposure 10
the air, it yields more readily to the at
tack Of the process.
Paint, therefore, which is old enough to
warrant its removal and replacing by a
fresh coat, would probably give way before
the sand grains in an encouraging manner
In one instance the sand blast was used
to clean between decks of a cattle steam
dition, with many coats of old paint On
the iron work. The results were highly
satisfactory as to quality of work done
but the time consumed was excessive.
The air pressure used was, however
only about ten pounds per square inch
and it is, therefore, reasonable to suppose
that If, say, from forty to fifty pounds
have been satisfactory in point Of beth
quality and economy of work At any
rate, 1t would seem worth trying the pro-
cess further The promise of money ssty-
Ing that 1T holds out Is certainly sef7llc
tive. Casters Magazine.
