ADVANCE In ORDNANCE.

Our war with Spain and the disturb
ance in China has drawn the attention
OF even the most peaceful to engines of
destruction and excited a natural curl
oslty as to their details of construction
and methods of manipulation. One Of
the most potent factors in the modern
army and navy equipment is the "big lit
tie gun in the rapid-fire artillery. We
have in the United States one of the
most important manufactures of such
arms in the world.
The American Ordnance Company, of
bridgeport, Conn, was organized in 1896
by combining the Hotchkiss Ordnance
company of America, the Driggs-S Schroe-
def ordnance Company, the American
ifolectlie Company, the ordnance plant
OF the Cramp Shipbnilding Company and
the Howell Torpedo Company, its special
line Of work being the manufacture of
hsht artillery for both naval and military
service and projectiles of all calibcrs.
IN addition TO artillery manufacture. de-
parlnents We're organized for the manu-
1acture of certain high-class commercial
Work-iathes, printing and lithographing
machines, automobile engines and other
lihe special machinery. Originally the
WORKS OF the company were divided

DEMAND FOR SILKS.

street, are large importers of silks and
yelyets. The increase in this line Of i'm
ports the last four years has been very
large. During the hard times of the
early 90s, and especially the three years
from 1893 to 1896, consumption of silks
and velvets fell off in sympathy with
that of all other expensive luxuries and
the importers of high grade goods of all
kinds had to curtail their orders. In
1896 the normal demand began to be
felt and the years following show our
importations of silks and like products
never before equaled in the history of the
country.
Expansion and the increase of our fer
ritory in the far East has stimulated
trade relations with countries of the
Orient where some of the finest grades
of silks known in the world are pro-
duced. The demand for the silks of the
East is increasing. More of the finest
grades produced have been seen in this
country than ever before since the ar
mics of the United States have been in
the far East and importers are beginning
to feel an increased demand.

sleep: Their hearts beat high and strong; In their fresh veins the blood of youth Was singing its hot, sweet song. Tha open heaven bent over them. Mid flowers their 1.-the feet trod. Their lives lay vivid in light. and blest Ky the smiles of women and God. Again they come! Again hear The tread of that goodly band: know the flash of Ellsworth's eye And the grasp of his warm hard
 hand: And Putnam, and Shaw, of the lion
 heart.
 And an eye like Boston girls: And l see the light of heaven which lay On Uric Dahlgren's curls. "There is no power in the gloom of hell To quench those spirits fire; There is no power in the bliss of heaven To bid them not aspire; But somewhere in the eternal plan That strength, that life survive. And like the files on Lookout's crest, Above deaths clouds they strive. "A chosen corps they are marching on In wider field than ours; Those bright battalions still fulfill The scheme of the heavenly powers And high brave thoughts float down
 to us.
 The echoes of that far fight. Like the flash of distant picket's gun. Thro the shades of the severng night. "No fear for them. In out lower field Let us keep our arms unstained. That al last we be worthy to stand with
 them
 On the shining heights they've gained. We shall meet and greet in closing
 ranks
 In Times declining sun, When the bugles of God shall sound
 recall
 And the battle of life be won"

SECRETARY HAY
Something About a Gentleman Who
 Will Shortly Visit Phoenix,

At the high school yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey gave talk on Col. John Hay. secretary of state of the United States, the most prominent member of the party accompanying President Mckinley on his transcon- tinental journey.
 He was born in salem. Ind, was graduated at Brown university when twenty years of age. and studied law m theo office of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield. III. He accompanied Lin coin to Washington as his private sec retary. remained a member of his fam ily at the White House, and was at his bedside when he passed away. Al though but twenty-two years of age when he went to Washington, he was SC loved and trusted by the president that many important and delicate missions were intrusted to him. and he was ap- pointed major and colonel in the Unit ed States army.
 Since the war he has represented the United States as secretary of the lega- ton at Paris and at Madrid, as charge d'affaires at Vienna and as ambassador to England. He is one of the most in- innate friends of the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, sometime a resident of Phoenix, and our ambassador to France. and succeeded Mir Reid as editor-in-chiet of the New York Tribune.
 He is a memter ic the Theta Delta Chi college i.att.uity and has written some of it's mos, beautiful songs. Mir. Hay stands in the front rank of con temporary cuts1rs. his. "Castilian Days" and poems being recognized as entitled to place among American classics. His life of Lincoln. written with his friend Nicolay as colaborer. is one of the greatest of American biogra- phies.
 In 1874 Colonel Hay was married to Miss Clara Louise Stone of Cleveland. Ohio. Hi. second daughter. Miss Helen Hay. has published a volume of beauti- ful poem" His oldest son, Arthur Hay, isherited the diplomatic talent of his father and was. until recently United States consul at Pretoria.
 The young man who went to the White House as the unknown secretary of Abraham Lincoln has filled more i'm pOrtant diplomatic stations than has any other American. is noted as an author and orator. and now stands sec- ond in the line of succession to the presidency of the United States.
 In closing. Mr. Halsey recited "The Advance Guard" given by Colonel Hay at a reunion of the Army of the Cum berland. which the speaker character ized as one of the most beautiful poems in the English language:
 Tn the dream of the northern poets,
 The brave who in battle die
 Fight on in shadowy phalanx
 In the field of the upper sky: And as We read the sounding rhyme.
 The reverent fancy hears
 The g'hostly ring of the viewless swords
 And the clash of the spectral spears. We think with imperious questionings
 Of the brothers whom we have lost. And we strive to track in deaths mys-
 tery
 The flight of each valiant ghost. The northern myth comes. back to us,
 And we feel. thrO our sorrows night. That those young souls are striving
 still.

IRON Melted in Five Minutes.

A European inventor recently per-
formed a remarkable experiment in the
laboratory of Thomas A. Edison at
Orange, N. J. He placed a cup half

covered 1t with . small quantity Of
powdered aluminium. He then placed
an iron wrench about half an inch
thick and six inches long In the cruc-
ible. Touching a match. to the com
pound, the mixture blazed furiously,
and in five seconds the iron wrench
was melted. It was estimated that the

THE PErnunD FERN

In . valley. centuries ago
Grew a little fern-leaf, green and slender.
veining delicate and fbres tender; ii
Waving when the wind crept down 50
low.
Rushes tall and moss and grass grew
round It.
Playful sunbeams darted in and found 1t.
Drops Of dew stole in by night, and
crowned It:
But no foot Of man e'er trod that way;
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swan the silent main.
Stately forests waved their giant
branches,
Mountains hurled their snowy ava
lanches.
Mammoth creatures stalked across the
plain,
Nature reveled in great mysteries,
But the fern was not of these, ~
Did not number with the hills and trees;
Only grew and waved it's own sweet way.
No one came to note 1t day by day.
Earth one day put on a frolic mood.
Heaved the rocks and changed tho
mighty motion
OF the deep strong currents of the ocean:
Moved the plain and shook the naughty
Crushed the little fern in soft moist
clay
Covered 1t and laid 1t safe away.
o the long. long centuries since that day!
o the changes! o life's bitter cost,
Since hat useless little fern was lost!
Useless? Lost? Their came a thought
full man
Searching natures secrets. far and deep;
From a fssure in a rocky steep
He withdrew a stone, DER which there
ran
Fairy pencilings, a quaint design,
Veinings, LEAKAGE, fibres clear and fine.
And the ferns life lay in every line!
So, 1 think, God hides some souls away,
Sweetly to surprise us. the last day.
