NEW WAY OF MAKING STEEL.
It Is Cast in Vacuum and Tempered
 with Liquid Hydrogen.

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 a number of valuable foreign contracts have lately been taken by our manufacturers in the face of Brit ish competition, and just as nature seems to encourage the American as- piration by showing that the English coal mines will be exhausted within another fifty years, science seems to be coming to the aid of the Britisher and may be about to open new fields of competition in steel, in which America must take part if she is to maintain her hard earned prestige. The dis eoyery has been demonstrated in Lon- don and Is being made much of by the English press that the ability to pro- duee perfect steel by casting it in a vacuum made by liquid hydrogen with a process that it is not proposed to make public, has at last attained prae- ticability. A company has been formed with capital of 30,000 pounds to ex- perimentally develop the process, and if the plan is successful as Prof. DeWar, the discoverer, 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 if the English government can control the process, as it is now intimated may be the case, then American scientists and those of other countries will be put upon their mettle to get even with the Britishers. Liquid hydrogen, which is the great agent now discov- cred, 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 it is out of all proportion to any known liquid. A piece of paper when placed in it sinks The differ ence between liquid hydrogen and liquid air is as great if not greater than the difference between the ordi- nary temperature and liquid air. Liquid hydrogen places temperature at within twenty degrees of absolute zero, which is represented by 494 degrees Fahren- heit, and 273 degrees Centigrade be- low zero. The boiling point of liquid hydrogen is 252 degrees below zero, at which it is capable of enormous pressure. The discovery must affect
 every problem in physics and chemis- try. Its possibilities are illimitable. It may revolutionize the methods that have been laboriously built up during the last 300 years. ~5. .s4,5 s.s~

OLD IMPERIAL BoDYGUARD.
Institution That Died with the Second
 French Empire.

The. Cent Guards founded with the second empire in 1870. The corps dated from the time of the Crimean war, when visit from Queen Victoria was expected. The tallest and finest look ing men and officers were selected from the cavalry There were 137 of the former and eleven of the latter, but the number of men was increased to POS Their function was purely decorative and they chiefly served within the palace. What swells the officers were in their siy-blHe uniform bedight with golden lace. The corps had regula | tions Of their own. They were on no account when on duty, to stir unless to salute the emperor or empress, and only then when specially ordered. The worst breach of discipline would have been to forget they were to be notion less as caryatides. One day Marshal Gastellane, vain, old, peppery per sonage, had occasion to see the en- peror soon after the creation of the Cent Guards. Two of them kept guard beside the door opening from the ante room on the presence chamber. They remained in the regulation attitude that is to say, with the right arm hori zontally stretched out and holding a musket by the bayonet. The butt end rested on the ground. The marshal was in uniform. Furious at not being saluted, he asked the one nearest to him what it meant. The Cent Guard seemed neither to see nor hear. Cas- tellane lost self-restraint and abused him. Still the soldier remained inn passive. The irate marshal sent for Col. Verley to complain The colonel failed to make him understand that approval and not chastisement was due. Thus the matter was brought be- fore the emperor, who gave the com plalnant sharp rap on the knuckles by expressing his pleasure at the Spartan attitude of household guard who was bound to ignore every rank but the mperial.-London Truth.
 The Commerce of tie Philippines.
 Products take care of themselves. Climate and soil and mild pressure of commercial exchanges have deter mined that the Philippines should con- tribute to the worlds trade few lead ing commodities. The most important is hemp, natural monopoly; for though many species of this plant are found in the tropics, none produces the same or as good a fiber as is obtained in the Philippines. More than that, at tempts to raise this particular variety elsewhere have failed. The value of the exports of hemp in 1897 was &, ,500,- 600, and nearly equal value of sugar was also exported ($7.o00, ,o00), these two commodities making nearly "A per cent of the value of the total exports. If three other items be taken from the export tables-copra ($2,6S7,97S), to- bacco in leaf ($1,323,445) and cigars ($S05, ,000)- about 97 per cent of the en- tire export value is accounted for, and every leading article entering into the export movement.-Harper's Maga- zine.

.-osvEr or SHORT WORDS.
A Paragraph Illustrating It, and Attri-
 buted to Horatio Seymour.


 buted to Horatio Seymour.
 h the following paragraph, attribut- ed to Horatio Seymour the writer prae- tiees what he breaches, since there is no word in 1t with more than two sylla- bles, save such as are quoted for the purpose Of illustration: We must not only think in words, but We must also try to use the best words and those which in speech will put what is in our minds into the minds of others. This is the great art which those must gain who wish to teach in the school, the church, at the bar, or through the press. To do this in the right way they should use the short words which we learn in early life, and which have the same sense to all classes of men. The English of our Bible is good. Now and then some long words are found. and they always hurt the verses in which you find them. Take that which sayT oh, ye generation of yipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? There is one long word which ought not to be in it. namely, N generation In the old version the # old word brood is used. Read the Nverse with the term, and you will feel 8its full verse: Oh, ye vipers brood, hwho hath warned you to flee from the Iwrath to come?' Crime sometimes does snot look like crime when it is set be- More us in the many folds of a long sWord. When man steals, and we eall 1t dedication we are at a loss 10 know if it is a blunder or crime. lf he does not tell the truth, and we are told that 1t is case of .prevarication,' dt takes us some time to know just what we should think of it. No man T1h ever cheat himself into wrong-do- Ing, nor will he be at loss to judge of S others. if he thinks and speaks of acts In clear, crisp terms. It is a good rule, 1f one is at a loss to know if an act is eT1ght or wrong to write 1t down in short, straightout English"
 All for His Family.
 "A dangerous criminal was about to be executed in California. While his last toilet was going forward an Eng lishn In who had just landed begged five Minutes conversation with him, which was granted. All that was heard of the interview was the final remark of the criminal. He called after his visitor: 4 thousand pounds to my heirs? You understand?' When the hangman had prepared for his sad duty, the eulprit claimed the right to say a farewell word. Lifting up his voice, he roared aloud to the assem- bled multitude: All you who listen hear my dying statement. The best coffee is the coffee of Messrs. Chicory, CheWem & Checker. ot Calcutta and London." ."-The Argonaut.
