for the we'll founded belief that the
intended, IL not the actual withdrawal
of the Chief Justice is now receiving
the serious thought of President Dole
and his Cabinet. Doubtless the prob
lem with Mr. Dole is whether he has
the right to make an appointment to
such an important position. A ques-
ton that might well cause worry and
is best answered by discretion is the
better part of valor." Meanwhile the
public is supposed to sit quietly by and
watch the Executive twiddle its thumbs
and ponder over how 1t can get ahead
of the people.
If Mr.. Dole anticipates the with
drawal of Mr.. Judd, he should say so.
dis present attitude adds neither dig
nifty to his position nor enlists the con.
fidence of the people. The Bulletif

accidents to ships are far more numer-
Gus than they should be. the invention
of Mr.. j. E. Liardet of helm-recorder
which. actuated by the rudder, gives
a history of the course steered and va

meet with the attention which 1t de-
serves. The record is made by pencil
on a paper band which moves on n

will not only be useful in clearing up
disputed points in case of collision, but
it will also afford evidence of the COM
potency of the man at the wheel. Some
steersmen will keep straight course

Scnies-Iron Made Red-Hot in Water

Building Material
Iron Made Hed-Hot In water.

One of the astonishing things devel-
oped through the introduction of cleo
tricity into everyday affairs is forge
made for bench use for the heating of
soldering irons or light pieces OF metal
for working on the anvil, where the
heating is accomplished by plunging
the article to be heated into tray of
water. Nothing could be imagined
more contradictory. of ones precon-
ceived ideas than this procedure, and
yet to the electrician it is perfectly
simple. He makes the proper connec-
tions, plunges his iron into the water,
and pretty soon the iron will begin to
glow under water, and then to turn red
or white hot, just as he desires it Tor
working. When he gets through work
ing the iron he may plunge 1t into the
water again, and cool it with "siss
as expeditiously as he could in any
other tank of water. The curious forge
is made as follows: The tank is of
wood. or any other substance which
will hold water and not form an cleo
trical conductor. One wire of the cleo
trio circuit passes to the bottom of the
tank, where it is connected to plate
of metal which lies there. Over this
plate water. preferably saturated with
salt, fills the tank nearly to the top,
and serves to conduct the current to
whatever object is to be heated. Moth
ing could be better for this purpose. for
the water naturally closes all about the
object and fits it on every side. The
other end of the current-conducting
wire is fastened to the tongs or led to
a metal framework at the edge of the
tank, on which the tongs or the shank
of a soldering iron lie when it is to be
heated. The moment the object to be
heated is plunged into the water
a current passes from the water
through the object, and at the same
moment some of the water is decom-
posed by electrolytic action. The nj
trogen of the water becomes electrified,
and adheres to the object to be heated
and forms a film of gas, which sepa-
rates the object completely from the
water, while at the same time this gas
forms such an obstruction to the pas
sage OF the electric current that the
energy of the current is turned into
heat. Electric forges of various de-
signs are coming into use in place OF
fires for many of the blacksmiths op-
erations.

Alice welded by far the more proline
pen. Then, as now, prose was more
lucrative than verse, and her first work
WAS to collect number of stories and
sketches into a volume, which she
called "Clovernook; or, Recollections
OF Our Home in the West" This was
published in 1851, and proved a pro-
uounced success 1t was industriously
followed by others-frst, novel, "Ha-
gar; Story of To-day" then another
series of "Clovernook" stories, after
which, with a volume of verses sand
wiched between, came "Clovernook
Children" juvenile book. In 1855
collection of her poems, complete up to
that time, was issued; then another
novel. Married, Not Mated" followed
in turn by more poems; then "A Low
er's Diary" Snow Berries" and still
third novel, THE Bishops Son. max
ing in all a collection of considerable
bulk, which, as it circulated widely in
its day, made the name of Alice Cary
familiar, not only throughout reading
America, but in England, also.
During these years Phoebe was not
idle, but contributed extensively to the
periodicals verses of many kinds, these
in the collected form numbering some
thing over two hundred. OF the quail
ity of the work done by them little need
be said here The more critical taste
of to-day would not rate it as it was
once rated, but it met the needs of
prevailing taste, served its purpose,
and was well worth living for. Con-
sidered as part of the literary move
ment in America, it has permanent
historic interest. and the achievements
of the two unaided country girls must
have an interest as abiding as that in
the triumphs Of the human will and
soul.
