THE FIELD OF INVENTION.
Engineering in Military and CONNER
cial Warfare.

War is always horrible possibility
in the present condition of European
politics, hut when Invested of its per-
sonal and political details it cannot
but possess a peculiar fascination for
the engineer, especially since engi-
neering has so largely entered into all
the methods of modern warfare.
Since the last great war, the ma
chinery of warfare has been almost
entirely recreated, and, indeed, many
devices have been invented, con-
structed and become obsolete, with
out ever having had chance to show
what they were worth in actual COM
bat. Should the great powers be-
come involved in warfare, however.
there is no doubt that numerous me-
chanical devices, till the present kept
secret, will appear in various lines
of fighting machinery, and it is not
Impossible that, as in the days of the
Monitor, ornaments and equipments
upon which millions have been spent,
will find themselves relegated to the
curiosity shop over night.
The restless ingenuity of the in
ventor is almost as much of bane
to the leaders of commercial warfare
as to the war lords of militarism. 1t
has been said, and doubtless with
truth, that the managers Of the great
commercial combinations consider
the possibilities of superseding in
ventions as the greatest element OF
risk in their calculations From this
point of attack industrial combina-
tions are almost helpless, for no de-
gree of business skill can avail when
whole plants are rendered obsolete
by the advent Of some new device
or process which may supplant the
entire method of manufacture, if not
the product itself. 1t is this equaliz-
ing element which may, in obedience
to the law of supply and demand
check to a great extent the growth
of commercial combinations, intend
ed to control production, prices and
business. The very success Of a bust
ness combination sets inventors to
work devising methods, processes and
machines to accomplish similar re-
suits by other means, and no man
knows what day may bring forth
when the tide of invention is turned
in any one definite direction The
natural laws Of the physical forces
must control in the end, and it is to
those laws that the development Of
the commercial side, as well as the
technical portion of human industry,
must look for ultimate guidance

THE MoST VICIOUS BRuTE.
Peccaries Are Absolute Strangers
to the Sensation Of Fear.

"The most vicious and fearless OF
the brute creation is the peccary, or
wild hog Of Mexico" said 9. w. Bart
lett, of Laredo, Tex. "This animal
seems utterly devoid Of the emotion Of
fear. ] have never seen it turn q
hairs breadth out Of its path for any
living thing Man is its special bette
noir. 1t displays an intelligence in
fighting the human strangely at va
rance with its apparently complete
lack Of any mental attributes, save the
very lowest order Of instinct They
are rarely found singly, but go in
droves of from a hundred to thou
sands. Their ability to scent men is
particularly marked have known
a drove Of them to scent a man mile
off and strike as straight for him as
the arrow flies. There is no use to try
to brighten them with guns. The cam
nonading of full battery would have
no more effect on them than the pop
ping of iirecracker. The only thing
to do when they get after you is to run
away from them as fast as a horse can
carry you. And then there is no GER
tainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as a horse,
and their endurance is as great as their
viciousness.
GA friend of mine encountered q
drove of them in wild part of Mexico
a few years ago, and his escape was mi
raculous. He very foolishly shot and
wounded anumber of them. Then he
took refuge in tree. The peccaries
kept him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled
around the tree, grunting and squeal-
ing their delight at the prospect of a
feast. He soon exhausted his ammu-
milton, and brought down a peccary
at each fire. But this had no terrors
for the beasts. Along toward morn
ing the brutes began to eat the ones
he had killed, and when they thus sat
isfed the cravings of their stomachs
they formed ia line and trotted off.
If they had not had some of their own
number to devoT, they would have
guarded that tree until my friend,
through sheer exhaustion, dropped
from his perch and allowed them to
make a meal off him. The wildcats
and tigers that infest the Mexican
wilds flee from the peccaries with in
stinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path. st. Louis

BUILT BY BEN FRANKLIN.
A Journalist Tells of Working an
Ancient Printing Press.

81 once worked a printing press that
was built and operated for long while
by Ben Franklin" said Col. Charles
Confer. "The machine was quite a
primitive affair, but it answered the
purpose. was then boy in Lancas-
ter, Pa, and was learning the printers
trade in the office of the Lancaster
Union. John F. Forney, now one
of the most influential newspaper
editors in the United States, and who
has made a success of the Philadelphia
Press, was prentice with me, and we
took turns working the old Franklin
press. 1t was made entirely of wood
except for marble slap that answered
the purpose of bed. On the slab the
forms of type were placed, and they
would have to be linked with a long,
clumsy roller before each impression.
One day Forney would WELD the roller
and the next day it fell my turn to
smear on the ink. We could print
about so or IS sheets an hour. The
work was laborious, but we performed
it cheerfully because Of the knowledge
that Ben Franklin had done the very
same work on the press many day
before we were born. James Buch-
anan used to come in occasionally and
encourage us at our task and predict
brilliant career for both of us if we
stuck to the trade we were then learn
ing.
"This was way back in 1871, and
I'm young man yet | hope Forney
is no older than | am. The events
that are crowded in between the years
1871 and 1897 contain the history of
the building of one of the most pow
erful nations the world has ever
known, and the professions of men
that have passed in review since then
call for the pen Of another Plutarch to
portray And that cramped, rickety
little Franklin press that John W.
Forney and | used TO work played
big part in the making of the nation
and the making of the professions of
men. Still | am not old."-St. Louis
