horse had got out of the barn, so we

him back in the stable. And my hus-
band gave the man so cents again.
Then the third night the man came
and said that our horse had got out
again. And it was about the same
time, 2 o'clock. But we were very glad
the man came to tell US. And when we
found the horse again we decided that

tie greatest attention.
The woman who first wore one OF

it the other day to girl friend who

diamonds and turquoises. alternating

SOMETHING NEW IN STEEL
4 Discovery That Is Expected To
Revolutionize a Great Industry.

Just as Americans begin to feel that
they are upon the verge Of developing
superiority to Great Britain not only
IN shipbuilding, but IN the steel trade,
in which such number Of valuable
foreign contracts have lately been
taken by our manufacturers in the face
Of British competition; and just as na-
ture seems 10 encourage the American
aspiration by showing that the English
coal mines Will be exhausted within
another fifty years, science seems 20
be coming to the aid of the Brit!sher
and may be about to open new fields
OF competition in steel in which Amer
ica must take part Il she IS TO main
tain her hard-earEed prestige.
The discovery has been demonstrated
in London. and IS being made much
OF by the English press. that the abil-
ity 10 produce perfect steel by casting
it IN vacuum made by liquid hydro
gen with a process that II is not pro-
posed to make public, has at last at
tained practicab!lity. A company has
been formed with q capital OF thirty
thousand pounds to experimentaily de-
velop the process and if the plan is
as successful as Prof. DeWaT, the DIS
coverer, presumes it will be, the air
bubbles that now cause flaws and
weakness in steel Will be done away
with and a metal Will result such as
the world has never seen. To say that
this means a possible revolution in the
steel trade is TO put it mildly, and II
the English government can controi
so inf q =
be the case, then American scientists
and those Of other countries Will be
put upon their mettle to get even with
the Britishers, says the Marine Jour
nal.
LIQUID hydrogen. which is the great
agent now discovered, is described as
a clear, colorless. transparent and very
volatile fluid, no clearer than pure
water, but only one-fourteenth the
density OF water. IN its lightness 1t IS
out OF all proportion to any known IL
ouid. A piece OF paper when placed
in it sinks. The difference between
uouid hydrogen and liquid air is as
great II not greater than the difference
between the ordinary temperature and
LIQUID air. Liquid hydrogen places
temperature at within twenty degrees
of absolute zero, which is represented
By 494 degrees Fahrenheit and 2l3 de-
crees Centigrade below zero. The boil
ing point of liquid hydrogen is 252 de-
grees Below zero, at which it Is capa-
Bile Of enormous pressure.
The discovery must affect every
problem of physics and chemistry. It's
possibilities are illimitable. 1t may
revolutionize the methods that have
been laborious;y built up during the
last three hundred years.

The Ecrse in Battle.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes Of
the hopes and fears Of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in the service
he knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working 1t the bit with his tongue
to get it between its teeth. AS he
moves out he will either seek to get
on faster than he should or bolt. H.
cannot bolt. however. The lines will
carry him forward. and after minute
be will grip. lay back his ears, and one
can feel his S;!dden resolve to brave
the worst and have done with it as
soon as possible.

The Nligrutior. of Robips.

For many years naturalists like Au-
dubon and Wilson studied and wrote
OF this bird before it was known that
there were robin roosts," az well as
pigeon rcosts. Only within the last
few years was the fact brought out
that bird more familiarly known than
the passenger pigeon followed this
mode o: spending the night, although
it adopted spring instead OF fall for
massing by hundreds in high shell
tered wood for a nights protection
from cold. or because it is the period
before pairing time, or for some other
reason ar present beyond mans ken.
With what stealth must this well-known
and much-observed bird have found its
way in such numbers to the same patch
Of timber night after night in the early
months OF the year. according to To-
caEty coming from all directions so
swiftly that secreted observer could
not count, keeping up chatter that
could be heard for long distance, un-
til the last bird. somewhat belated,
perhaps, found shelter in the darken-
ing grove, when all became silent as
thousands OF wings were folded to rest.
Another peculiar trait Of the robin.
upnoted except by so keen an OBJ
server OF bird ways as Maurice
Thompson. IS that, with all its friendly
and confding relations with the human
family during the time Of nesting and
rearing its young in the fall OF the
year, ii becomes a wild bird. betaking
itself largely to the woods and even
the secluded parts OF mountains, at this
season showing little disposition to be
on familiar terms with man, giving
note Of alarm and flying hish and
swiftly when surprised at his approach.
At this time they range over extensive
tracts OF country, but nearly always
svince tendency to seclusion. The
writer has seen them IN small focks
nying over a wide valley az such an e!e-
vation that only By the vel! known
sharp squeak. rather than by the eye,
could he surely determine that they
were robins.
Even in its migratory habits th:s BIRD
IS somewhat peculiar. The seem 70

A CHiNAMAN'S FATE.
Declared Dead by Society, He Was II
booed and Killed Himself.

Declared Dead by Society, He Was II
booed and Killed Himself.
In San Francisco there's Chinese
secret society, the laws Of which are
as strict and unchanging as those of
the Medes and Persians. One Of the
members Of this society told some OF
Its secrets-an offense punishable by
death. He was to be tried IN the uSuat
way before a tribunal Of the society.
The night OF the ordeal was fxeG.
The culprit was represented by aDIe
counsel, but the sentence was death-
as was expected. An executioner was
called from an adjoining room. He
was a strapping big Chinaman, and
wore one Of those hideous wooden
masks that art critics think SO beauti-
full. He carried double-edged sword
fully five feet long. To test the edge he
folded newspaper in eight parts, and
the knife went through those eight
thicknesses Of paper as If it We're
bit Of butter in summer time.
The culprit was brought in upon his
knees, and another Chinaman, also on
his knees, faced him and caught the
traitor by the cue. lie drew the cul-
prit's neck toward him, the smock was
pulled over the shoulders, and with
one mighty swing the double-edgeo
sword descended. Like flash it Glove
the air and then stopped. 4 fractional
part Of an inch separated the sword
from the victims neck. Very, very
gently the executioner brought the
weapon down until it just touched the
traitors neck. Then, as it is crime to
kill q man in San Francisco, he stop
ped. He brought the sword to his side
again, turned to the jugGes and said:
THE culprit is dead"
The newly executed got on his feet
and said something to the judge. The
Judge did not heed for the culprir
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon, who were hurrying from
the hall But he spoke to deaf ears.
To all intentS and purpose he was q
dead man.
He made his way into the street.
and the first thing that caught his eye
was a hugh poster proclaiming to all
Chinatown that he had been executed
that evening. No one would speak to
him, no one look at him-he was s
dead man-just as dead as if the exc
cutioners sword had in reality de-
scended.
For whole week that man wan.

Origin OF "Fip-hip.h .hnrrah."

Hip -hip-hurrah" has always been re-
garded as a thoroughly British cry,
typical OF the exu;srant temperament
OF the race. Compared with it the
"Vive" OF the Frenchman. the 'Hoch'
of the German, and the ''Slava" of the
Russian are tame and expressionless;
but the "Hip-hip-Aurrah" from Anglo
Saxon threats rings through the
spheres and carries everything Gefore

words are not English at all. The one
consolation left Us IS that they were

has found the Phrase "Hip-hip-hur-

Bit B,uscoat and Died.

Policeman Albert ". Owens, Of the
F!aUbush station, Brooklyn Borough,
was strolling Up Erasmus street when
a big newfoundland dog with an anti
pathy for policemen jumped over the
fence of No. 64iand savagely attacked
him. Before the brute vas driven of
the poiiceman's hand was badly lacer-
ated.
Owens did notwait to ask questions,
but hurried to a aphysician's Office and
had the wound cauterized, then he
went back to look up the dog and settle
accounts.
Where's that dog what bit me?'
asked the officer, holding up his ban
daged hand as proof Of the accusation.
Hes dead" sad the owner.
Dead" said Owens, incredulously.
What did he dieof?"
Il am sure don't know. He died
about ten minutes after you went
away. Perhaps the bite killed him."
said the owner, wiping his eyes and
sohh;ng bitterly.
Policeman Owens returned to the
station house. but he has been doing a
pile of thinking ever since.
