QUAINT
Chapter Is Added
To the MOther.In-LaW
Question
BY a New York Husband--Queer
Defense.

Mr.. A. F. Truman, a New York hus-
band, who had been sued for divorce,
has added quaint chapter to cOntem-
porary liserature in regard to the
mother-in-law question, He has just
submitted lengthy affidavit to the
court denying all of his wife's charges.
THE affidavit of my wife," con-
cludes Truman, "is full of exaggera-
tions and falsehoods. Deponent has
been an officer of the National Guard
and is now a captain in the Old
Guard, and he cannot be frightened
by such t0m-toms and Chinese war
fare as that which the plaintiff seeks
to wage against him.
"Deponent is ready to take back
his wayward wife and asserts that the
house is there with the room she oc-
cupied, untouched, waiting for her;
that she may come with her whims and
her fancies, with her Caudle lectures,
with all the genii of the mind and
tongue of shrewish and spoiled wo-
man, and he will receive her, nourish
her and cherish her, but Deponent
will not support his mother-in- law,
whose picture he has turned to the
wall"
The attorney for the husband in pre-
senting his brief said he would quote
from the Arabian poet, Ysouf Ben
Haetiz" Then he read the following:
"A man in Darkest Africa, t'
Once journeyed with his spouse's ma
She'd given him many a lash and

And you have neither gun nor spear,

For mercy sake what would you do,
If lion came for me and your
If a lion came or cannibal,
Be not afraid. I'd simply call
This woman my mother-in.law
Whom you would put into your
maw.

became leader In government affairs.
In 1876 he became president Of the
Chamber of Deputies and minister Of
the interior and two years later, when
Victor Emmanuel died, no man enjoyed
q more commanding influence In Italy
than he. Now, his political opponents
began to prosecute him. with the result
that In 1880 he lost royal favor. At
once Crispi resigned his political offices
and announced that he had forever re-
tired from government affairs. Inhu-
ence was brought to bear upon him,
however, and he was persuaded to re-
consider his determination and return
to power. In 1887 he was chosen to the
highest office he could attain, president
of the council and minister of foreign
affairs. His desire to better the condi-
ton of italy and to make 1t great was
then generally recognized and when, in
1889, an unsuccessful attempt on his
life was made, all classes united In con-
graduating him ON his escape.
In 1901, with bankruptcy staring the
country In the face, Crispi's ministry
was defeated and he retired. After the
lapse Of a short time the King called
Crispi to the rescue but hardly year
passed before he was again compelled
to resign Within few weeks Crispi
was again called upon to assume office
and he served faithfully until his resig-
nation in 1906, at the time Of the ex-
element incident to the losses his adj
ministration had suffered at the hands
of King Menelik II.
Since then Crlspi had lived COM
parat;vely quiet life, but still exercised
a potent influence in national affairs.
His whole career did him great credit
and It can be truthfully said he was an
honest man and one Of the greatest
statesmen and leaders Italy has even
known,

A Disadyantage.'

Az a rule, tall men have bodies out Of
proportion to their lower limbs-that Is
smaller than they ought to be-with the
natural result that they are unable to
bear fatigue, or to compete in the
struggles Of life with lesser men har-
moniously propOrtioned. Army expert
ence bears out these observations. In
a long and fatiguing march the tall
men usually fall out first, Or succumu
to campaigning, unless, as is. very rare
ly the case, they have well-knit and
symmetrical frames. "A soldier between
five feet five inches and five feet eight
inches or nine Inches Is usually the
man most capable Of bearing the strain

1t was not deemed worth printing.
And yet says an English writer, In
the year 1890, by that outrageously
nonsensical process of Bessemer's, this
country made over 100000 tons of
steel, while the United States produced
a trife Of 100000 tons-made from
over 100000 tons Of cast-iron with
out fuel Continuing. the same writer
says: tfHf
I'm 1865, ten years after his inven-
ton, Bessemer and his partners, for he
was not a wealthy man at that period,
were receiving royalties in Britain to
the amount Of $1,00O,O00 per annum.
Enormous profits were also made in
those years by the steel manufacturers
who secured the right to manufacture
under royalties. They obtained from
$500 to $3.50 a ton for steel, which cost
them only about $50 ton to produce.
Trade rolled In In huge volumes, until
In 1872, when the first fourteen years
partnership into which Bessemer had
entered expired, 1t was found that his
firm-Henry Bessemer & Co.--had d.
vided In profits fifty-seven times the
capital invested In the business, or 100
per cent for every two months for
twelve years, while the works, which
had been largely extended out of rev.
enue, were sold for twenty-four times
the amount of the whole subscribed
capital. In all. the fortunate partners
received eighty-one times their original
capital In fourteen years.
Great Britain, until the United States

dethroned her, was the greatest iron
and steel producing country In the
world. Yet In 1885, when Bessemer an
nounced his discovery to the incredu-
lous world. Great Britain produced only
$4,000 tons of steel. But In 1899 she
produced 4,S55,OO0 tons. or over nine
ty-seven times the quantity made for
ty-four years earlier. In the same year
the total production of the world was
1886, 900 tons. But 1t was long years
after Bessemer made this output posi-

with cast-iron to make steel. Now,
metallurgically speaking there Is moth
ing In common between iron and steel.
They are more individual than gold and
copper; yet the addition of one part of
carbon to 80 parts OF cast iron con-
verts the mass into steel fit for the
manufacture OF the best cutlery, and
1t Is worth about $500 ton made up.
1t is not like the steel that Is used for
bridges and ships, which cannot be.
made to take an edge suitable for cut
ting. Yet there is not much difference.
The steel from which ships. rails, etc,
are made costs only from $50 to 500 a
ton, yet 1t has only little less carbon,
from one-fifth to ne-tenth Of that in
cutlery steel
Without the small bit of carbon, iron
would be nearly as useless as gold as
an element of construction. for cast
proportions from steel.
There are many steels besides those
In which carbon is the principal agent
including manganese steel, chrome
steel. Harveyized steel, nickel, Krupped,
etc. But these are manufactured for
special functions only, and nearly all
the steel made In the world to which
civilization owes so much Is insigniti-
cant in itself, turning up in various
aliases. In the uninvitng form OF SCOT
and coke, in the flashing diamond, in
charcoal, in the black, lead pencil. in
plumbago, 1t Is the same essential ele-
ment We do not know in what way
so slight trace of this element works
SO tremendous a change In common
iron. transforming 1t into most aristo-
cratic steel. 1t is believed that iron
holds carbon In solution, MS sea water
holds its salts.
l,evo utios, OF 1855.
1t was not until 1870 that the age of
steel began to dawn. Bur ii dawned
slowly, and the world vas reluctant
to welcome it. In the year mentioned,
"Bessemer read a paper before the
British Association at Cheltcnham,
which, though the most important
technical contribution of the nineteenth
century, provoked only merriment
among the members. On the morning
of that day Mr.. Bessemer, when al
breakfast ut his hotel. overheard an
ironmaster. to whom he was unknown.
say laughingly to a friend, DO you
know that there Is somebody come
down from London to read us a paper
on making steel rom cast iron without
fuel? Ibid you ever hear of such non-
senseY To these ironmasters the thing
was huge joke. II $ ttselcss.to search

mering and twisting-even doubling
close, without breaking. The first kind
has been made for more than a century.
the second only since Bessemer and
Sianens-those modern magicians-
showed how to do~it. In 1866 HALEY
went from America and purchased the
Bessemer rights for this country for
$4,000. Immediately previous to thar
time $125 ton had been paid here for
imported steel rails. and the duty on
them was about $5S n ton. To-day
rails are made and sold in the United

States for about $50 ton, and this
country, in which so many gigantic
fortunes have been made by the Besse-
mer process, has hOnored the inventor
| by naming seven towns and cities after
| him.
A few years after the Bessemer con-
verter was introduced william Siemens
produced steel of similar quality to
Besemer's, but In an entirely different
method, using large "open hearth
furnace, In which the iron was first
purified previous to the addition Of car
bon. 1t is said that Abram s. Hewitt
was the first American to use the open
! hearth" process. The maker OF Bes-
semer steel, on the other hand, pours
pig Iron into converter, and While the
Iron is In a molten condition drives a
hurricane of air through it. and burns
out the carbon, sulphur and other I'M
purities, leaving pure. soft iron. Then
a small measured quantity of an alloy
of iron with carbon Is introduced,
which contains the exact amount OF
carbon and manganese required to con-
vert the iron into steel Of the precise
quality wanted. And, presto! In five
minutes 1t is ready to pour like u
stream of liquid gold into the ingot.
, Within twenty minutes of the entry of
the pig, the steel is produced.
The Age OF teei.
Many of us have been born since the
advent of the age of steel. We enjoy
its advantages quite as matter of
course; and scarce bestow a passing
thought upon 1t. But consider how
much we should have lost IL the inven.
lions of Bessemer and Siemens had not
/ been given to the world. Then your
trains would not have been so luxurl-
GUS, nor SO swift-these are only posi-
BILE on track Of steel. The heavy fast
trains of the present day would have
crushed the iron rails of the COS out
Of shape. Steel, moreover, Is used for
| railway wheels and axles, and for the
frames which support the cars. 10 this
material, therefore, the democratic
passenger owes his seat In a vestl-
buled car In the fastest expresses, his
dining car, and berth in the sleeper, be-
cause steel permits the use of faster,
longer and heavier trains than iron
ever did
On the ocean the influence of steel Is
equally apparent. Without cheap steel
the ocean ferry between the United
States and Europe could not be crossed
IN six days. nor that to the Antipedes
in a month, because iron ships Of the
same strength and capacity would be
heavier, and the cost of propelling the
added weight would absorb the profit.
At the present time, for one ship built
of iron there are more than ninety nine
constructed Of steel A modern liner
appropriates enormous quantities of
steel. The Oceanic at the time of
launching contained in her hull, with
out any machinery, about 11,0OO tons.
The fifteen boilers In the Oceanic, each
of which is sixteen feet In diameter,
weigh LOO tons.
Without steel we should have no ar
mored navy worthy Of the name.
