engineering trades in England, which
played so important a part in the opening
of the markets of the world to America
Is problematcal Leading labor men and
Representatives Of the leading employers
said to-day that they thought pending
questions would be settled without a gen.
eral strike. 1t was intimated that J. F.
Morgan might be appealed to and request
ed . use his influence with the great in
dustrial combinations in the interests of
peace. thus preventing any trouble, in
much the same manner as the great coal
strikes have been prevented during the past
year
Meetings of the machinists were held
at various places in this city to-day. to
discuss the local situation. After get
ting reports from all the shops in the
metropolitan district the Conclusion
reached was that shops employing about
one-half OF all the machinists in the greater
city would grant the nine-hour day and
the lz1e per cent. increase in wages with
out trouble. and that not more than 1900
men al the outside would go out on strike

HELEN KELLER's HAND.

Mr.. Lawrence Hutton is making a
collection of plaster casts of hands,
says d Trenton special in the New
York sun. He already has about fif-
teen SPECIMENS. He brought back with
him from Europe recently the original
cast OF the hand of Thomas Carlyle,
which he picked up in a London shop
for trifiing sum. Among others in
the collection are likenesses of the
hands of Rossettf, Robert Louis Ste
venson, Lincoln and Thackeray, and
the niummified hand of an Egyptian
princess of the time of Moses. These
Mr.. Hutton has hanging on the walls
of his library.
He also has a cast of the hand of
Helen Keller, the wonderful blind
mute, which he regards very highly on
account of its artistic finish. All the
lines of the skin, and even the little
nerve cushions on the tips of her fing-
ers, with which she feels so accurate
ly, are plainly discernible in the plas-
ter Beneath each cast Mr.. Hutton has
written some appropriate lines. Be
meath that of Miss keiler's hand is the
following:
she is deaf to sounds all about US;
What She sees we cannot under
stand;
But her sights at the tip of her fing-
gers,
And she hears through the touch of
her hands"

President Angel of Michigan Univer-

the problem of how TO preserve forests
is to be considered, but the further and
more valuable information, in certain
sections. of how to create new forests, is
to be taught. 1t is expected that the
chair of forestry win attract the sons of
farmers in particular, since the profess
sion is one more easily comprehended
in its primary instruction by them than
by boys from the city, and because high
rewards await the graduate fully trained
and competent in theory as in practice.

General Ian Hamilton. Of the British
army is the hero of an odd spectacle
story. 1t appears that when a sub

the battle of Majuba Hill. They were
apparently picked up by a Boer whom
they suited, and who kept them for
twenty years. In the early part Of the
present year the spectacles were found
on the body of a dead Boer. The case
had General Hamilton's name on 1t,
and they were in due course returned
