asked a heartfelt blessing upon the
head OF the President and expressed
sympathy for his suffering wife, after

aroused much enthusiasm. He told his
audience of his friendship for tho
workingmen during his entire public

eloQuently OF the patriotic response
which California had made during che

DeveIopment of the Hammer.

Mans first tool was the uplifted hand
grasping a stone, and from this came,
after many years, the hammer. As
heavier blows became necessary the
hammer grew in size, until il was OPP
Grated by machinery in the form OF the
tilt or helve hammer. When steam sue
ceeded water as a motive power, a
steam cylinder replaced the tripping
cam, but the first half OF the past cen
fury had nearly expired before the orig
inal form of this tool was at all chang
ed by James Nasmyth's invention OF
the upright steam hammer.
Since then the falling weight Of this
design of tool has gradually been in
creased from a few hundred pounds up
TO 100 and even 12j tons. but excepting
the smaller sizes up to p tons it has
since 1890 been superseded 10y the hy
draulic press, which by it's slow motion
produces n more thorough working of
the metal. Presses have grown until
the capacity of $4,000 tons was reach
ed, requiring a $1,000 horsepower en-
CINE to drive it. Such n tool, with its
of 200 ton electric
cranes for handling the work under
meath, is capable of forging ingots over
80 inches i'm diameter and weighing
more than 100000 pounds.

Hold the Fort.

In October. 1864, Allatoona pass, a
defile in the mountains of Georgia, was
guarded by General Corse, with 1900
men. 1t was a strong, strategic point.
and, moreover, 100000 rations were
stored there. Fresich. the southern
general, with 6.OOO men, attacked the
garrison and drove the defenders into
a small fort on the crest of the hill.
The battle was fierce. TIE northern
soldiers fell in such numbers that fur
Their fighting seemed folly.
But one of Corse's officers caught
sight OF Il white signal flag fiuttering
i'm the breeze on the top of the Kene-
saw mountain, across the valley, u
miles away. The signal was answered,
and then came the inspiring message
from mountain to mountain: Hold
the fort. i am coming.-W. II. Sher-
man."
Cheer after cheer went up, and,
though hOpelessly reduced in numbers.
they did hold the fort for hours until
the advance guard of Sherman's army
came to their relief. Six years later

The Moving Plant.

A very queer plant belongs to the
pea family and is called the moving
plant on account of the manner in
which its leaves turn around of their
own accord or go by jerks. without be-
ing touched or in any way disturbed.
Sometimes only one or two leaves on a
plant will be affected; at other times
they will all perform jumps and gyra-
tons simultaneously. 1t is observed
that the movements are most energetic
when the thermometer marks about so
degrees.

THE Beers STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY

i
Nearly two years have elapsed since
the Beers were forced by the British
to defend their homes and their gov
eminent from the encroachment of
British power, directed to destroy
their independence. Right nobly have
the citizens of the two little South AT
rican republics carried on the contest,
yielding only when compelled by su-
perior mum bers, but never suspending
their efforts to drive the invaders from
their country. British losses in men
and money have been in the aggregate
appalling, while the Beers have also
Jst heavily in men, and have wit
messed the devastation of the land and
the destruction of their homes.
The vast resources of Great Britain
have thus far been employed without
securing the acceptance of British au-
thority by the Boer people. although
the governments of the little repub.
lies are without a habitation and
their armies have become mere bands
of patriotic guerillas. And there are
those who have confidence that Great
Britain will yet be compelled to con-
cede to the Beers the independence
they demand Among these hopeful
and sanguine people is Hercules D..
Viljoen, who is in this country under
authority of Special Commissioner
Vessels to raise money for the dis
tressed and suffering people of South
Africa. Viljoen. who was himself in
the Boer army, believes that the war
will end in the independence of the
two republics and advantages to the
Beers in Cape ColoHy, and that the
breaking of the ties which bind Cape
Colony to Britain would not affect
Cecil Rhodes for the reason that
Rhodes is dying from alcoholism.
Viljoen further says that the Hotten-
tot women are now doing more to de-
moralize the British soldiery than
any other one agency; and that, be-
tween the climate and disease, the
British deport 3 1000 soldiers a month
more than they can possibly enlist.
In YiJoen's opinion the time has
gone by for Intervention.
Whether the hopes and expectations
of Mr.. Viljoen are realized or not, it
can be said that recent history pre-
SCENTS no more heroic and praise
worthy spectacle than the patriotic
struggle of the little South African
republi for their independence. The
people of this country
sympathize with the Beers in their
efforts for freedom, and earnestly
desire that they may succeed.

The Enect. of Ammonia.

The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is discOloration of the skin
of the nose and the forehead. This
gradually extends over the face until
the complexion has a stained. blotched
and unsightly appearance. With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
TENS I'm smaller doses. as with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
do not appear so SOON The only effect
of the poison that is visible for a time
is general unwhoIesomeness and sal
lowness Of the complexion.

OHIO DEmooKAUY.s CANDIDATE.

Col. Kilbourne, the democratic can
didate for governor OF Ohio, may
prove a vote getter. In this period Of
Industrial disturbances he is quite
sure to prove popular with the LABOR
ing classes. He is large employer
of labor, and. according to a sketch
of his life printed in the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, q political op-
ponent, he has never had strike and
has never reduced wages. When the
panic of 1898 came it was feare that
he might have to cut down the pay OF
his men, and he went before them
and asked if they would accept q re-
duction in case of necessity. The
reply was that they would. but he
never made the reduction and kept
the mill going throughout. This cost
the company something, but its at
fairs had been so well. managed with
an eye out for just such an emergency
that it's financial strength was not
seriously impaired.
