his Misrepresentation of the reasons

During the past week a special com

case of Clinton against the state for
damages in connection with the seiz-
ure of real estate by the metropolitan
water board. The state has taken the
property in order to secure a large res
ervoir and has paid for every stick
and stone taken. The people of Clin-
ton want damages on the plea that if
this property had not been taken fac
tories might have been built upon it,
at some future day. On precisely the
same grounds the people of Lynn, Re
we're, Boston and some other sections
in eastern Massachusetts could pre-
sent a bill for several million dollars
against the state because the park
commission has taken land that would
have been valuable for many business
purposes. If the Clinton claim is al
lowed, this will be but the beginning of
a general raid on the state treasury

Last of The nIodocs.

Another good Indian has been made
by the death of Modoc brave, and
now the bucks of the tribe have been
reduced to the fatal 13 in number.
Thus have dwindled the fighters of
the most warlike tribe Of men that
ever arrayed themselves against an
enemy. They have been the Ishmael-
ties of the Pacific slope, and there
fore they were called "Modocs" by the
ether tribes, for "modoc" means Gene
N.Y."
The entire tribe has dwindled to ~
members, all wretched beings, with no
thirst for war, but an ambitionless, in
dolent and dull set Of beings that
have cast aside every virtue that. they
ever possessed and have taken on
every vice that civilization has offered
them. This remnant, mostly women
and diseased children, that has dwir-
died from a fighting power worthy Of
United States opposition to the very
verge of extinction, is now quartered
on a small reservation in the: Quapaw
country south of Kansas City.
These last of the Modocs are pris-
oners of war, held by the government,
but allowed great freedom, for they
are not likely to wander from the sup
plies they are provided with, for If
they should they would staryet to
death.
Only one among them shows any OF
the spirit that once actuated the tribe.

The Hazel Bush.

The hazel is a very hardy bush, yet
it does not grow freely everywhere.
It is one Of the first plants to respond
to the call of spring. 1t does not pro-
duce an early leaf. but soon in March,
sometimes by the end Of February, 1t
bears millions Of graceful dropping
tassels. 1t will flourish on rocky hill
sides where there is only shallow cov-
ering of earth; and on all kinds of
dry chalky or limy fresh soil it does
equally we'll.
Under two sets of conditions the
hazel will be found growing. The first
is when it is planted and cultivated.
Though not timber tree, it is useful
to the forester. 1t forms valuable
underground. From shoot or sucker
the toughest switches and walking
sticks can to be made. For the same
reason it is highly esteemed by the
basket maker, the thatcher, the waffle
maker, those who make hoops for bar
rels, and similar operatives. Hence as
an underground it commands good
sale, and the forester for that reason
sometimes plants it under his stand
ard oaks and in suitable coppices.
It. grows to a height of about 20
feet, but you will find the majority
of the bushes not much more than half
as tall. The nut is ripe when 1t slips
easily out of its sheath. Later the
nuts may be shaken down like apples.
Shells which have been exposed to the
sunlight take on brown red. The
hazel, though it grows so often in a
copse, flourishes best in the sunlight.

er than the common blackberry.

CARLOADS OF MOLTEN IRON.
The Device Of shrewd Yankee to Save

The Device of Shrewd Yankee to Save
Fuel
The construction of new bridge
across the Monongahela, to be opened
for service within the next few days,
directs attention afresh to striking
feature of modern metallurgy. The
usual way to make steel is to melt up
cold pig iron, to which other materials
are added, and then purify the mixture
by burning out certain undesirable ele-
ments. Pig iron, however. is itself the
product of a previous heating process,
in which the ore is melted with car
Donate of lime to remove the oxygen.
1t occurred to some ingenious Yankee
few years ago that if the product of
the blast furnace could be converted
into steel before it had cooled sensibly,
great economy in fuel would be Sc
cured.
The new bridge just mentioned has
been built for the Carnegie company,
and will be used to convey molten
iron from the Carrie furnaces to the
Homestead steel works, nearly mile
of. At the present time, Homestead
obtains molten metal from Duquesne,
about four and one-half miles away.
The new route has been laid out so
as to save time and distance, and,
possibly, caloric, too. There has been
for some time one "hot metal bridge
across the Monongahela, controlled by
the Carnegie company, and besides the
new one about to be opened, a third
is in process of erection for the Jones
G. Mclaughlin interest. 1t will thus be
perceived that the practice has proved
so successful that it is being rapidly
extended.
One gets a vivid idea of this remark
able procedure when he reads about
the precautions taken in the construc-
tion of the new bridge to prevent harm
in case any of the melted metal leaks
or slops over while in transit from
the iron furnace to the steel works.
The spaces between the ties are to be
filled with sand, so that no iron may
fall to the decks of passing steamers.
The ties will be of wood, but are to
be protected by covering of sand.
On either side Of the track there will
be raised screen Of heavy metal
plates, faced with firebrick and reach
ing to a height Of four feet. An ex-
tension of thinner plates will bring the
screen up six feet farther. The cars
are ladle shaped and the molten metal
runs directly into them when the fur
naces are tapped. A locomotive then
draws the train to the steel works at a
moderate pace. The glowing freight
Is still in fluid condition when it
reaches the mixers there. If it were
not the cars would be ruined.-NeW
