Steel Hardening.

Another steel hardening process Is an
nounced as having been introduced at the
famous French steel and iron works Of
Creuzot, process based upon the fact,
well known, that gas, under great heat,
deposits carbon In solid form, upon this
depending its light effects, and also the
formation of the so called retort graphites,
a thick covering Of pure carbon on the
walls Of gaslight retorts, the gas that
strikes the walls depositing part OF Its car
bon upon them. Hardening iron and steel
plates formerly consisted In covering the
plates with layers of coal and heating them
till they glowed. In the new process two
plates are put into furnace, one on top
of the other, with hollow space between,
this space made gas tight by means OF as
bestus packing put on around the edges,
and the plates heated redhot, while a
stream of gas is poured into the hollow
space Indicated. The carbon thrown out
by the gas is readily taken up by the glow
ing plates until they are quickly covered,
and the depth of this carbon covering can
DO regulated by the amount OF gas admit
ted. In order to secure regular and uni
form action during the process and to pre-
vent the pipes that carry the gas to the
hollow space from absorbing any OF the
carbon they are insulated In other pipes,
through which water Is constantly circu-

Sources Of Ivory.

African ivory is now conceded to be the
finest The first quality of this comes
from near the equator, and it has been re-
mark ed with regard to this fact that the
nearer the equator the smaller Is the ele-
phant, but the larger the tusks The ivory
from equatorial Africa is closer In the
grain and has less tendency to become
yellow by exposure than Indian ivory.
The finest transparent African ivory Is
collected along the west coast between lat
itudes 10 degrees north and 10 degrees
south, and this is believed to deteriorate in
quality and to be more liable to damage
with increase of latitude in either direc-
tion. The whitest ivory comes from the
east coast. 1t Is considered to be In the
best condition when recently CUT 1t has
then mellow, warm, transparent tint, as
II soaked in oil, and very little appearance
of grain or texture.
Indian ivory has an Opaque, dead white
color and tendency to become discolored.
OF the Asian varieties, Siam is considered
to be the finest, being much superior In
appearance and density. The ivory OF the
mammoth tusks is not very much es-
teemed, particularly in England. 1t is
considered too dry and brittle for elaborate
work, besides which it is very liable to
turn yellow. AS matter of fact, the
largest tusks very rarely leave Asiatic
Russia, being too rotten for industrial
purposes. Cham Journal.

a Bold Pl,s - wilkss Booths That Mis-

- noio P13v - Whkes Booths That Mis-
carried By Mere Accident.
About the middle of March, 1885, word
was received from those along the "under-
ground route" that the Ioads and the time
were propitious for Undertaking the abb
duotion and that the horses would be held
In readiness for the relays. Accordingly,
at Mrs. Surratt's Booth assembled his as
sistants, John H. Surratt, Payne, Atxe-
rodt Herold, O'Laughlin and Arnold, all
mounted for the kidnapping.
Between and O'Clock In the after
noon they left tho house and made for the
Seventh street road. where IL was reported
that the president would pass that evening
on his way to the Seventh Street hospital.
Mr.. Lincoln would frequently ride out
to the Soldiers home on the Seventh street
road, entirely unguarded, or, II In o car
riage, with only driver, much against
the protestations of his friends, who were
fearful for his safety. The coach Of the
president was to be seized In q secluded
spot on the road near the city and Surratt
was to jump on the box (as he was moro
familiar with the roads, and to make for
ct. b." collection Of two or three
houses and stores on the Underground
route" about 30 miles southeast of Wash
ington, and thence to tho Potomac. The
carriage was to be abandoned as soon as
the city limits were passed. Relays of fast
horses were In readiness, and the boat at
Port Tobacco was prepared to GROSS the
river.
As the distance from Washington to
Port Tobacco creek was about 40 miles,
the. intention was TO make the entire trip
the first night and, crossing the river. to
be within the lines Of the Confederacy at
the expiration of "a hours.
The plan was not so ridiculously absurd
as at first glance it appears. 1t was not q
difficult matter at that time to pass the
pockets stationed at the navy yard bridge,
and once In the country, where friends
were willing, fresh horses ready and Fed
eral soldiers few, the chances of reaching
the Potomac In safety were not unfavor-
able.
The plot failed because Mr.. Lincoln did
not 90 out on the Seventh street road on
the afternoon expected, Secretary Chase
going In his stead. Booth and his COM
panions returned to Mrs. Surratt's disap-
pointed and enraged. Such a favorable op.
portunity would not likely occur again and
the conspirators disbanded. Surratt went
| to Richmond, Arnold secured a position
ut Old Point (near Fort Monroe) and
| O'Laughlin returned to Baltimore, but
| Payne, Herold and Atzerodt still lowered
about their leader awaiting further devel
| opments, living at Washington at his ex
