A Bug That Can Cut Metal.

The Zopherous MeIieanus is the only
known species of American beetle that
has strength enough in its mandibles to
cut metal. This curious faculty of the
zopherus was accidentally discovered
by F. w. DeYoe, member of the New
York MicroscopicaI society. A friend
had sent Mr.. Deyoe some specimens of
this queer species of bug from the
northern states of South America. The
microscopic was busily engaged when
the insects arrived and simply provided
temporary quarters for the creatures in
a glass jar having a metal top in which
the porcelain cap was wanting. With
in less than forty-eight hours they had
cut holes in the metal sufficient to get
their heads through and would soon
have escaped had their operations re-
NAMED undecided. By careful expert
ment Mr.. Deyoe found that the force
necessary to do such cutting was equal
to 369 grammes.

Armor of warships.

The thickness of armor on modern
warships is truly astonishing. The side
armor of a first class battle ship US
ually varies from 161a inches thick at
the top of the belt to 91a inches at the
bottom. The gun turrets are often
protected by armor from Is inches to
II inches thick.

TWO IARBORs, Mimi, June 22.-The
night crew of ore handlers gathered at
the company's dock office last night at
Z o'clock and refused to go to work unless
an advance of wages was given them.
The day force also notified the company
that they would stand by the night crew,
and that, unless the matter was settled
in satisfactory manner before their shift
was called to replace them, they, also,
would refuse to go to work. There are
about $50 men to each shift. -
The appointed committee Of strikers
held consultations with Dock Agent H. L.
Holden and Superintendent Thomas
Owens of the Duluth & Iron Range, and
they were granted a raise of Is cents a
night, which is lhe amount asked for.
Previous to this trouble the night crew
was getting $l.5 a night, and the day
force $1.75. The day force did not ask
for an increase of wages, but merely
offered assistance to their fellow workers
to guarantee success. The night force IL

Let us take off our hat once more TO

it reached the zenith of it's glory and

pecially its own brethren, there is not
man who. attended that convention
that is not under the most profound
