Sl> 10 colored people, or 93f cords. The
f,.t Of March generally winds up the
s.nroDrlation for Outdoor Poor. The
Og.rseer after that date uses great

and veighty words from one of our re-
Gg,0u- cOtemporarles:
On reading thu sentence, Blessed is he
ts.t considereth the poor and needy" it is
w,. % PIT a good deal of emphasis on the
middle word The blessing Is not to be ex-
+tei as the result of miscellaneous minis
ration. but rather of serious, patient and in
rengent effort. whereby the poor shall be
helped ont of their poverty instead of being
merely ped in their poverty. Beyond a
conn, 10 every town or city of any size it is a
r,infu fact that there are hundreds, may be
thousands. who need and deserve the help Of
those in better circum stances; to whom the
kindly and Christian aid comes as the bene-
action from on high, the visible answer to
prseer Blessed is he who not simply gives
Ie,k lessly and csrelessly, and often injurious

RESIST ENORMOUS PRESSURE.
small Steel Balls Cannot BE Crushed
by Ordinary Mechanical
Devices.

The resisting power of steel balls to
pressure has never been actually de-
termined, and recent tests reported to
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers leave the question still in
doubt At these tests balls were
procured of sizes ranging from one
half to one inch in diameter from six
manufacturers, and the attempt was
at first made to test the balls by
crushing between hardened steel
plates. Difficulty was experienced,
however, in procuring steel so hard
that it would not indent under the
pressure to which it was subjected
in contact with the balls, and the
plan was adopted of placing three
balls in row in special holder,
which kept them in line axially.
Pressure was then brought to bear
upon the two outer balls, eventually
crushing the middle one.
After this series of tests was com
pleted q steel was found that an
swered the purpose for testing the
balls between fiat surfaces and an
other line of tests was conducted with
the balls between two fat plates of
this steel. A singular fact is that
in the first series nearly all the balls
were broken by the formation with
in the ball of conical wedge which
was gradually forced toward the GEN.
ter of the ball until the latter was
split. The base of the cone was ap-
proximately circular, with its center
at the point at which the crushing
force acted.
