Different opinions have long been en-
tertained by practical experts as to the
causes of defects in steel, and attention
has lately been called by a writer in
The Mechanical World to the fact, as
elected by the most careful and repeat
ed Investigations, that most of the de-
fects peculiar to rails, plates and bars
are due to blowholes in the castings,
that is the ingots, such plates and bars
being rolled out of what is supposed to
be a homogeneous ingot, but which Is
liable to have a cavity inside, not de-
tectable by chemical or mechanical
tests, even though every rail were tested
in its entire strength.
The blowhole. according to this writ
er, might be in a position in the ingot
that it could not be rolled out, but
would remain in the center Of the head
of the rail, and that would run, per.
haps, about one-fourth the length of the
rail. If, however, the blowhole was in
some other part of the iDgot, it might
work out as a flaw IN the surface of the
rail when finished, and this could be
detected by the inspector. But how to
detect the one which is hidden in the
head of the rail-whieh cannot be done
by the present and old mode of inspec-
tion-is the problem.

SPEED OF THE HORSE
A Claim That He Can Outrun the
Deer.

~ SAUAhh Ahah III &Au OutEun tnC
Deer.
A man on a horse Is twice a man.
He feels more secure, is drawer, is In
every way more formidable. European
officers know this. In clearing the
streets of Paris only cavalry are used.
We call out the infantry or the militia
and have to shoot people. In Europe
they use the fiat of a sword held by a
mounted man. No unarmed body of
humanity will stand the impact of
horses. They melt before the charge
like snow. 1t is the uncomfortable in
stlnct to get out of the way, and to do
1t as soon as possible. Some day we
will grow wiser on this side of the At
lantic. Just now we have fifty infantry
companies of militia to one of cavalry.
Many of our militiamen are unable to
pay for the keep of a horse, which is
expensive. even If a man does the cur
rying and bedding with is own hands.
Many others of them would not know
what TO do with a horse If they had

and the bicycle crowding the steed of
our fathers closer and closer TO the wall
there is not much chance that it will
be bettered. Five hundred years from

college professors, with piano1eg calves
and e~ighteen-inch chests, will be lee
turing upon an extinct animal and re-
constructing him for the benefit of stu
dents from a piece of stifle and a front
tooth.
l believe that the horse Is the swift
est animal in the world. One hears
strange tales of the speed of the ante
lope, the whlte-tailed fawn, the spring
box, the elephant, the j~ack-rabbit and
the wolf. The fastest of these is the
American antelope, and l have lever
seer n that n good pony could not
best. As for the rabbit or any kind of
deer, the horse will simply run over
him. Taking into consideration the
fact that the horse generally carries
more than 100 pounds Of rider, saddle
and gun. N gets an idea Of how much
superior he is. A speedy pony will out
run a greyhound. | have seen this
tried. 1t Is customary among men who
use them TO give the dogs all the law
possible in order to avoid riding over
them. In hunting with a brace Of very
good coursing hounds five years ago it
was found that there were five ponies
in the party which would outfoot the
dogs. and n of them. a gray of I'M
doubted mustang ancestry, II given the
bit, would do his pest to run over them
and killed them. He did not like them.
They belonged to his owner and he
was jealous.-Chicago Tfmes-Herald.

The indoor sports and amusements
for evenings at home are mainly card
games and story telling. The father
tells his sons the tales of the mighty
heroes of past ages. relates Japanese
history and teaches reverence and obe-
dience to the mikado, the ''heaven ap-
pointed ruler or the grandmother,
gathering the little ones in a circle
around the brazier filled with hot Goals,
tells them wonderful fox stories, stories
Of demons and gnomes and clever fables
about animals.
Their game of CONAN is like our
checkers, but it requires 800 pieces in
stead of 2L. 1t is played on a raised
stand. In the game Of chess they have
40 pieces. There are several ways Of
playing backgammon. and it is very
popular. Private theatricals are a very
common form of amusement among
both boys and girls, and, like most of
their sports, are frequently shared by
their elders. AS the children are often
taken to the theater they readily imi-
tate what they have seen there.-Ida

Useful Thief.

A simple thief-catcher has been in
vented for the protection of money
tills. 1t consists of an electrical con
nection between the till and some point
where an alarm can readily be heard.
A boy who had for a long time been
stealing his masters money was
brought up before a London Judge.
The master said that in consequence
of the loss of small sums from the till
he had the clerks drawer fitted with
electric alarms. In the absence of one
of the clerks, the prisoner tempered
with the till, when the electric alarm
rang, and he was caught.

The sun was sinking low into the
western horizon when she came again
to the town, and its golden light glori-
fled the tall, r~ed-turreted elevators and
softened the outlines of the gaunt
frame buildings until they looked no
longer hateful TO her. She fastened
across the sandy road to the postoflice
with almost a light heart.
You sent the letter II to my hus-
bandT" she cried sharply.
A numbing fear took possession of
her. 1t was, then, after all, too late.
Already he had read the lines, and
knew of her unwlfely intentions. Gould
he ever love her-now? And in her
%desolation the need of his love, above
all things, grew apparent.
However, 1t should make no change
In her resolve. Duty still pointed out
the road. YEARLY, regretfully must
she take up the dropped stitch of life;
perhaps, sometime, she could live 1t
down.
The misery of the homeward ride she
can never forget. She shut her teeth
in firm resolve and chung desperately
to the pony, while he flew over the
road; all the while the dull thuds of
coffin clods.
She seemed to see in her minds eye
Jacks surprised greeting, his calm,
cold, cutting words, than which she
would rather face death, she sobbed,
weakly, over and over.
Then, from the crest of the rise, the
house came In view. The picketed
horses came t~rottlng toward her to the
length of their ropes, with many an
arch of the back and friendly neigh of
recognition for their comrade. Prince
came running down the road, frantic
with welcome, and lack came TO the
door with n skillet In his hand.
Supper Is ready" he cried gayly,
coming to lift her tenderly from the
saddle.
What-what, she cried to herself, d!Z-
lilly, could it be he had never received
the letter. Then she tainted in his
arms.
When she revived she chung to him
and looked earnestly in his eyes; hope
leaped In her bosom. There was ne
cloud on his brow; he did not know.
When the dishes were cleared away
they took their chairs into the front
yard. The moon was rising in sleepy
eyed %splendor.
Il have something to tell you," he
said, drawing close TO her. Good
news he added hastily, alarmed by
the look on her face. 81 sold the farm

Poor, busy Jackl 1t was all work
with him and no sympathy. In the
morning he hurried TO the fields. he hur-
rled from the table, at night he hur-
ried to bed that he might be the early
riser that the next days labors demand
ed. Thus 1t was, perhaps, that he did
not notice the shadows that deepened
In her eyes. At first, with a little ell
eouragement she would have told him
all and cried It out on his shoulder, and,
perhaps, together they might have
learned the lesson of endurance. But
now her heart had crusted over n
hid beneath its surface her sorrow. sur
ferlng, doubt, grew in noxious luxuri-
anee In her souls garden and threat
med to choke out timld love. For this
she blamed him. She said. over aud
oyer TO herself, that he did not care,
and then, out of loyalty to him, denied
1t. but at last, against her will, she had
admitted the truth of the accusation.
Finally she had told 1t to the dog and
wept into his shaggy name, and he had
listened grayely and with Infinite pa

sympathy. But of late 1t seemed to her
that lie had deserted her cause, and, as
II to reprove her discomfort and set an
example of fidelity, left her side to fol-
low his master all the day long. And 1t
had come to this! She would answer
the pleadings of her soul; she would
leave him. She would go home, back
to noise and hustle and life; back to
friends and yolceful companionship.
Strengthened with sudden resolution,
she sprang to her feet and looked at the
clock. There was time TO catch the
down train. She had money of her
own, the remains Of her splnster saw
ings. She would take the pony and
leave Mt the p~ostofice a note that would
explain the story Of 1t all TO Jack. with
nervous fingers she set about tidying
the room. When this task was finished
she placed upon the table Jacks lunch
con, noting with IA tender smile some
of the things she had brought with her
and which she was about to leave-the
dainty tea urn, the sugar and cream
holders that Jack had laughed at fof
their Smallness, the cup with a broken
handle that was reserved for him be-
cause of its size and solidity. When
the table was set she covered 1t with a
pink net. and turned to lay out her
pretty travelling dress that she had
worn but once before.
