There are gigantic mixers" capable of
holding 200 tons of pig-iron, in which,
moreover, certain amount Of preliminary
publication is effected. Steel plates are roll
ed of over 300 feet in area and two inches
thick, and there are girders which justify
the belief of Sir Benjamin Baker, that a
bridge connecting England and French
could be built over the Channel in half-mile
spans There are ship-plates which buckle
up during a collision. but remain water
tight There are steel armor- piercing shot
which will penetrate thickness of steel
equivalent TO over thirty y-seyen inches of
wrought iron. The points of the shot re-
main intact, although the striking velocities
are nearly $500 feet a second. There are
wires which will sustain load of ITO tons
per square inch without fracture. Hadheld,
whose labors he hoped to see continued far
into the twentieth century, has given us
manganese steel that will not soften by
annealing; while Guillaume has studied the
properties of certain nickel steels that will
not expand by heat and others that con-
tract when heated and expand when cooled.
Nickel, chromium, titanium, and tungsten
are freely used alloyed with iron. and the
use OF vanadium, uranium, molybdenum,
and even glucinium, is suggested. Huge
ingots are placed in soaking pits and forged
direct by 120-ton hammers, or pressed into
shape by 14,000-ton pressers and there are
steel castings for parts Of ships that weigh

Interpreting the Bible.
(From the Hartford Courant.) }


At Boston, Monday evening. President
Eliot of Harvard told the Congregational
lists that such an intellectual people as they
are cannot get on without learned and log
icaI preachers, and that to them above all
other Christians right understanding OF
the Bible is immeasurably important At
Washington, Wednesday, Prof. John De
Witt of Princeton told the Presbyterians
that their type of Christianity is dis
tinctively intellectual" and that of all the
churches theirs is, perhaps, most vitaily
interested in the fate of the Holy Bible" !"
It's an interesting coincidence, isn't it?
President Ehot's understanding of the BIZ
ble and Prof. De Wits understanding of il
are as wide apart as the poles. In this
conciliar sermon at Washington the
Princeton scholar solemnly warned his
hearers against the methods and conclu-
sions of the higher criticism He inti
mated that a general acceptance of these
by Presbyterians will be very upsetting to
Presbyterianism. 81 am inclined to be-
lieye.' he said, that because of the intel
lectual habit bred in our people and our
churches by the education of almost four
centuries, the first halting place OF the
most of us will be rationalisn."

Achievements in MetalIurgy.

OF the achievements in metallurgy which

Austen recently gave the following collec-

which will produce 600 tons of pig-iron IN
twenty four hours, with consumption oi
little over 1874 hundredweight OF coke pei
ton of iron, and the gases from blast FUR
naces are used not only as sources OF heat
but directly in gas engines. There are
Bessemer conyerters which can hold fifty
tons of metal. and open hearth furnaces
which will also take fifty tons. while 10e-
ton furnaces are projected. The open
hearth furnaces are fed with one ton o

the Herbert Kelcey and Effie Shannon

James O'Neill at the Columbia. These
stars. who are too we'll known to require
further comment, have not been seen here

mlere in Philadelphia. That was two
years ago, and since then Clyde Fitch S

MATURo's GREAT POOL.

Great Finish Against warmsly.

A large crowd gathered at Murray's
Arcade, Newark, Saturday night, to witt
ness the State championship pool tourna-
ment. Two games were played. resulting
in William Snaden. of Newark, beating
Charles Walmsly. of Paterson, LIS to 1Os,
and George Mature, Of this city, beating
Walmsly 125 to LOG.
The first game was in doubt almost up
to the very last. The score by frames:-

Walmsly's defeat by Mature in the sec
ond game came as a great surprise, es-
pecially after the former had opened up a
lead Of 40 balls. This was in the seventh
frame when. the score stood Il to Al. Aft

ish that was nothing short of wonderful.
