The Germans are rather slow and heavy, but they arrive. They have lately been busy in establishing profit able monopolies on the basis of discoV- cries of methods of producing various costly products of nature. A German manufacturing firm has placed on the market an artificial indigo which Is identical in chemical composition and properties with natural indigo. It can CTS profit at present low prices. That indigo could be artiflcially produced was shown sixteen years ago, but 1t has taken that length of time to make the manufacture commercially prac- have been initiated. or produced, on a commercial scale by German chemists. monopolies of alkaloids used in medi- cine. A third profitable chemical in- dustry of theirs is the production of perfumes. Among the last of these is artificial musk. Another profitable dis covery is ionone, or essence of violets. The hydrocarbons produce on proper manipulation a long series of odors which will make the fortunes of the firms that have patiently produced them by protracted experiments. Some firms employ fifty or a hundred grad uates of the universities in research, trusting for reward to the occasional discovery that gives a monopoly. This has been going on for years, so that Germany now easily leads the world in | drugs, particularly the more expensive ones, which it pays to produce.

KEEP COOL.

There was war in the yellow news papers yesterday, and also in the New York Stock Exchange. But in spite of the noise the situation hasn't changed much. There is no reason to look for any important change until the report of the naval board of inquiry has been made. If that is favorable to Spain there will be decided lessening of the tension of feeling in both this country and Spain. If it Is unfavorable this country will demand what is right and will get it, either with or without war. There is nothing for "the people" to do but to wait and avoid exciting them selves and each other by wild talk. We could come much nearer war than we have been and still escape it. The authorities at Washington are prudent and they will be as peaceable as they ought to be. It Is apparently very much the same way at Madrid. So there is no profit in getting unduly ex- cited and going through the war before 1t breaks out.

HEATING IRON BY COLD WATER


 Iron Can be Made Red Hot Almost
 Instantly-Burtons Liquid Forge
 New and Practical Application of
 Strange Discovery About Electricity
 Trial of the Process at the Krupp
 Works.
 Few operations look more like a miracle than heating a piece of iron to a cherry hue, or an even more daz- zling incandescence. by thrusting it into a tank of cold water. None of Herrmann's illusions could be more startling than this feat, which, as now performed, is a practical reality, and not merely an entertaining trick. Hitherto the blacksmith has plunged horse shoe or other product of his art into a bath beside his forge to lower the temperature of piece of metal which has already been heated in the fire. It is now proposed to do away with the broad hearth, the ,coals, the blaze and the bellows, but to retain the tank and its contents. Then simply by immersing the iron therein it will be quickly brought to the desired tenn perature.
 Two or three trif1ing changes may be made in the tank. A metal lining will be provided, perhaps. Possibly some other liquid may be substituted for common water, although it has been proven beyond a doubt that the latter is entirely adequate for the work. The most important modification of the apparatus-the only essential one, in fact-is provision for sending a power full current through the tank in the proper manner. On this account, the invention is known as the electric liquid forge"
 Over in Newark the other day, when tests of the device were being made, it was found that railroad spike fully an inch in diameter acquired a cherry tint fifty seconds after it was dipped into the cold bath, while half-inch | screw bolt came to white heat in | eighteen seconds
 | When the new system Is brought to perfection and introducted into boiler shops, carriage factories, smithies and similar establishments it is like ly to show it's superiority over the old one at two or three points. For in- stance, in the liquid forge only that part of the iron which is actually sub- merged receives the direct action of the heating process, and it is acted upon uniformly along that much of its surface; whereas, when it is poked down into live coals on hearth the chances are that either more or less of the iron Is heated than the workman wishes, and that one part will be much hotter and softer than another. Then again, when iron is worked in the com mon forge it oxidizes and gives of scales, thus wasting the material weakening the article and perhaps spelling the fit in some job. There is much reason for believing that the electric forge will prove more econom. ical and more convenient for certain classes of work than the other styles now in common use.
 The general arrangement of this wonderful apparatus IS as follows The tank is about as big as a kitcher sink, and stands on four legs. It is 2 portable affair. Two carefully insula ted wires, proceeding either from dy namo on the premises or from some general power and lighting circuit out side are led into the room. Tht positive" wire is connected with tn,

 is made a black solid mass, which In some forms breaks almost with frac- ture; it burns in the same manner as coal burns, but without so much smoke as is the case with ordinary coal, costs at the present price of oil less than s5 ton, and may be depended on to give out between two and three times the heat units that the same weight of coal will produce. The material may be made into any form of brick, is much cleaner than coal in handling, can be stored in the sun without fusine or melting, and has little of the charac- teristic petroleum odor.

though they may seem strikingly sin gular at first. A case in point was a woman at whom every one looked be- cause her gown of violet cloth was fin- ished from the edge of the skirt to the knees with close set rows of fringe. The fringe was wool and part of the weave of the material, just as the fash ionable tuck effect is often part of the goods. But so artistic was the work that none could be sure whether the fringe was really in the weave or sewed on. One girl sniffed little and remarked to her companion that lit looked like furniture" but that was jealousy, for it didn't suggest any such thing.
 Such novelties of weave are held at almost prohibitive prices when new, and many of the new forms of ap- plique work that now adorn skirts are costly, but one thing can be said in their favor even by women who can't afford them-they constitute skirt trimming that is not in any way relat- ed to the overskirt, which, like the bo- gie man, is going to catch us if we don't watch out. The applique design of bow knots done on the skirt pictur- ed here was in lace braid, the rest of the design being embroidery in several shades of pink and green silk. Pale green taffeta was the material of the gown, lengthwise bands and a flower design of the embroidery appearing on the bodice front The yoke was shirred white mousseline, white lace giving the points over 1t, and the epaulettes, belt and collar were pink silk and the sleeves were shlrred chiffon. For wis, | iting,' was the way the gowns de. signer classified his model; surely g visitor thus attired should make hel 1 impression. FLORETTE.

KLONDIKE E COLD.

Some facts are gradually sticking out of the mess of Klondike exaggera- tions, and they are not extremely en- couraging to those who would make haste to be rich. For instance, the re- port of the Wells Fargo Express con- pany that the gold taken out of the Klondike in 1897 was only $3,671, 900 was quite a surprise to those who were in such 8 frame of mind that they amount been put at $1O0,000,00O. But there is one thing that there hasn't been any exaggeration about, and that is the Klondike weather. A complete record for 1896 was made by Canadian official stationed near the scene of the excitement. The most severe month was January, and in the course of it the mercury ranged between and 6Sk degrees below zero. In February it went to 641s below, but there were sev- eral days when the zero point was passed and one when the temperature was only half a degree below the freez- ing point. In March the minimum was 36 degrees below and the maximum 40 degrees above; in April, 26 degrees be- low and 511s degrees above. From May to October 1 there was no zero weather, but only in July was the tenn perature constantly above the freezing point. Both June and July had days of real summer, the thermometer re- cording S1 degrees. Fall seems to have begun in August, the minimum record .n that month being 27 degrees. This fell to 1 degrees in September and Oc- tober brought degree below zero, No vember 36 degrees below and December 441s degrees below. There were con- paratively warm days, however, in both November and December, the zero
 point being surpassed by 21k degrees | in the former and by 10 degrees in the | latter.
 Between scratching for gold and try
 ing to keep from freezing to death g
 Klondiker must be kept pretty busy
 And if he doesn't get the gold he mus
 feel that there is as much vanity ir
 things as Solomon said there was.

NOT so VERY RICH.

The report of the special street rail- road committee of the Massachusetts legislature doesn't help those who have the notion that the roads have been given monopoly privileges of exception al value. A careful investigation, says the report, fails to disclose those Mas sachusetts franchises of great value given away without consideration, or unduly large profits, on the part of the companies as whole. There are in all seventy-seven street railroad com panies in operation in the common wealth. Of these, one, the Boston ele- vated or West End street railroad, may be left out of consideration, its case be- ing exceptional to such degree as to make 1t necessary to put it in a separ- ate class. Of the seventy-six remain ing active companies, thirty-four paid no dividends in 1897, while forty-two paid dividends of from 1.25 to 1O.5 per CeIlt., averaging f.A5 pci CCilt'~t lS- turn certainly not excessive. Upon this point the inquiries of the commit tee tend to confirm the conclusions of the board of railroad commissioners in their report for 1896. The report says: While in the business of operating street railroads, as in every other busi- ness, there areas within reasonable limits there should be-exceptional cases of large profit offsetting cases of failure to earn reasonable profits, yet the idea sometimes entertained that the electric railroad is likely to prove a source of extraordinary or abnormal profit must apparently be abandoned. This opinion would be sound for oth CT States than Massachusetts. In some States the electric railroad business has
 been overdone, and will probably have to go through much the same expert
 ence that the steam railroads have
 gone through.
