Removing Rust from Iron.

The accumulation of rust on iron ar
ticles is so annoying that any simple
process of removing it will be
received with great satisfaction by
large number of persons. The
following directions are given: At
tach a piece of ordinary zinc to
the articles and then let them lie
in water to which a little sulphuric
acid is added. They should be left i'm
mersed for several days or week,
until the rust has entirely disappeared,
the time depending, on how deeply they
were rusted. If there is much rust a
little sulphuric acid should be added
occasionally. The essential part OF
the process is that the zinc must be in
good electrical contact with the iron.
A good way is to twist an iron wire
tightly around the object and connect
this with the zinc, for which a remnant
OF a battery zinc is suitable, as it has
binding post. Besides the simplicity
Of this process, it has the great advan-
tage that the iron itself is not attacked
in the least as long as the zinc is in
good electrical contact with it.. Deli
cate pieces of mechanism which have
become badly rusted can be cleaned by
wrapping a galvanized wire around
them instead of the zinc,' in which case
the acid should not be too strong
When the rust is all cut off the articles
will appear dark gray or black. They
must then be thoroughly washed and
oiled. 1t is well to warm them slight
ly when dry so that the oil may the
more easily sink into the surface.
Where there are sharp edges and fine
work this process is said to be eminent
ly satisfactory.

New Steel Plant in Japan.


4 The town of YaWatamura, on the ea-
treme northern end Of the island Of
K1ushiu, has been selected as the loca-
ton Of Japan's great steel plant This
island has immense coal beds, yielding
over 100000 tons yearly. The iron
ore beds are situated on an island sep
arated from Kiushiu by a channel
about one mile wide The ore will be-
brought by boats. The plant will be
enormous, costing at least ten million
dollars to equip, and is to turn out steel
rails and probably armor plates for

10000 inhabitants and enjoys the repu-

artisans within the past few years
constitute one of the most curious

STARS.

All the morning people were bustl-
Ing about the house, this way and that,
up to the eyes" in work. The maid
and temporarily engaged assistant
superintended operations over a
steam1ng tub; Mrs. Jameson and her
sister Caroline lent them an occasional
hand, devoting the remainder of their
time to cooking, securing, cleaning, and
Jne hundred matters of domestic neces-
sity; tradesmen, with that unerring in
stlnct of their kind which always
prompts their visits on the most in
convenient day, made frequent de-
mands upon the door; the children,
nome for while, were busy too; for
this was wash day in the house of
Jameson. (.
The baby sat solemn and silent in his
tiny chair, securely tied thereto by a
dlsused pair of his fathers braces.
scattered on the floor around him
were toys and picture-books; on his
lap lay slice of bread and jam, a
oroad red trail of the latter indicating
direct path over bib and chin toward
mis- mouth. He turned a large and list
less eye upon the surrounding hustle.
Baby is quiet today" said Mrs.
Jameson once, glancing casually to-
ward him. --szs,eo.. .a@.. - ~.
"Yes; he is thinking of something
not even eating his bread and JAM"
Did um sit and finka-fnk?" This
to the child, with a seductive waggle
OF finger. ..
But baby sat motionless, gazing
cowlike with his eyes. He did not even
say "Goo-goo!" ,- .- s~--
At that moment the maid came in
from the scullery, bearing with her a
Steamy atmosphere and an unwhole-
some odor of soap. In her arms was
ponderous basket of damp linen fresh
from the wringing; this she deposited
with a thud upon the floor.
i've done this lot, ma am" she said,
"an' l am almost ready to start in on
the coloreds. I'll put this here min
ute while I go and get my line out.
Hope it'll be fine day for drying"
Mrs. Jameson stood at rest for mo-
ment and surveyed the bulky basket
before her. She sighed. It was the
dream of her life that at some happy
far-off day her good man should earn
just that little more -than-enough,
which would warrant her in putting
out her washing. But now she was
middle-aged, and the dream had not
yet come; when it came-years later
it had lost it's value, for her good man
was gone. A.
mo, don't put the basket there" she
said, "it's in the way. Put it where
baby is, and move him into the cor
ner." .......
'Did ums have to be put in a corner
like bad boy?" said the maid, as she
followed out her mistresss instruc-
tions.
The baby remained as impassive as
ever.
Suddenly a miracle occurred. The
1amp-oil man having arrived and de-
1ivered himself of his odoriferous bur-
den, it became again necessary for Mrs.
Jameson to pause from her labors to
