FORGOTTEN SOCIETY.
Order of the Golden Horseshoe Insti-
tuted for Those Who Had Scaled
the Allegheny Mountains.

How many of those who are members
of orders and associations intended to
keep alive the early history of this
country have ever heard of the Order
of the Golden Horseshoe? asks Youth 8
Companion.
1t was the first order founded in
America, and the story of its origin is
told in a rare book, to be found only in
a few libraries, the present State of
Virginia" written by Rev. Hugh Jones,
chaplain to the assembly in James
town. and published in London in the
year 1924.
Virginia then extended from the At
lantic into the unknown west but few
of her colonists had crossed the Blue
Ridge or the Alleghanies. So full of
dangers from savages and wild beasts,
and 50 full of natural difficulties was
the passage of these terrible heights
that the good chaplain tells us with
awe of the setting out of Gov. Spots
wood to discover a pass, attended by a
guard of soldiers, gentlemen, and
pioneers" carrying provisions.
They scaled the pass with great hard
ships and peril, and returned. the gov
ernor having cut upon the rocks on the
highest peak the name of King George.
He then constituted the society, or
order, of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass was
made a member of it, and to each one
he presented a golden horseshoe. On
the side were the words "Sic iuvat
transcendere montes." ESQ it pleases
him to cross mountains.w
Any gentleman thereafter who could
prove that he had read with his own
eyes the name of the king upon the
height was entitled to become mem.
Der of this order.

SLOW OF ATTAINMENT.
The Pursuit of Fame on the Play
House stage TX n Long ana
Tedious Chase.

Fame is thing, frequently, of slow
achievements. The excellence of an
actor must be repeatedly declared
and most positively asserted before
the public in general can be brought
to consider him seriously, no matter
how seriously he may take himself;
| and, though he may have come to some
thing of a safe place in the esteem of
a few. the wavering majority are SO
reluctantly brought to the door of the
theater that, like Irving or Jefferson,
the players hair may have grown gray
before the skeptical nobodies deign to
bestow upon him their begrudged APP
probation, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Cibber. you know, announced Gar
rick "well enough and Foote round
ed out things with the malicious re-
mark that the hound" had some
thing in him. "but if his excellence"
as he expressed it. was to be exam

part equal to ColIey Cibber's Sir John
Brute. Lord Foppington, Sir Courtly

when Garrick was young. and, ac-
cording to Ponds portrait, a very
handsome fellow, his years not more
than 25, and his beauty such as to have
attracted the envy of the idols of the
town. Foote'S comparison was made,
not out of any justice to Cibber, whom
he did not like, but simply through i'll

Roscius. it is said. had a squin' in
his eye, and Churchill. with others,
found fault with Garrick's littleness OF
person. and laughed at his airs and
ridicued his pretensions. Quinn was a
better Falstaff than Garrick was a

and "old Johnson far more natural

follow Horace's description. Mrs. Por

ter than anything he had ever per
formed. He was, if Walpole is to be
believed, poor Lothario, a ridiculous
Othello, inferior to Quinn in Sir John
Brute and Macbeth and to Cibber in
Bayes, and a woeful Lord Hastings anc
Lord Townley. The town, according tc
this distinguished critic, did not like
him in "Hotspur," and yet he said: 81

Churchill was finally brought to de
clare:

special from New Brunswick, y. j.,
telling of the contention of Mrs. Will
liam Olsen, of Perth Amboy, that two
boys tortured pet cat of hers. and
then buried it alive, is controverted by
the accused youths in the following let
ter issued by them to-day:
ITO the Public:
''First-The cat was not in a box
when shot, but was free in the yard.
"Second-The cat was doubtless
killed by the first shot.
''Third-Two more shots were put
into the cat so as to be doubly sure OF
the cats death.
"Fourth-The cat was then put into
a box, but the box being too large, the
cat was buried, and dirt and stones
were put on the grave.
"Fifth-The cat had killed eight val.
liable carrier pigeons, so sentence was
pronounced: Cat must die
"Sixth-Fair warning had been Civ.
en- to the cats owner, and is hereby
given, that more cats must die if cats
kill more of our pigeons. IN. Y

WASTED POWER.
Plans Formulated Many Years Ago
for Using Wasted Gases of
Blast Furnaces,

We have in the blast furnace two
sources of power at present more or
less wasted, namely, the surplus store
of gases going to waste in the atmos-
phere, after the needs of the furnaces
have been supplied, and the imperfect
utilization of those now burnt under
boilers, when power might be gem
Grated from them by direct combustion
in gas engine, says the Engineering
Magazine. The usual standard of
working blast furnaces is about one
ton of coke burnt per ton of iron
made. From 100000 to 100000 cubic
feet of high-furnace gases are pro-
duced per ton of iron smelted or per
ton of fuel burnt. Assuming that 10,-
ally in blast furnaces in Great Britain,
this gives about 100000 horse power
wasted, which might be converted into
useful work, especially for the produc-
tion of electric energy. We have only
TO consider the immense output of pig
iron per day from the high furnaces in
England, the United States and the
comment " ste HON vast d slOTe OF DO
tential energy is at present un-
touched.
The successive steps in utilizing
blast furnace gases may be thus SUM-
married.. Thirty years ago they were
considered of no value. and were often
burnt off at the mouth of the furnaces.
They were next partially used, by re-
| tanning portion TO heat the air for the
blast and burning a larger proportion
under boilers to generate steam for
driving the blowing engines. No at
tempt was made to burn the gases eco.
nomically, and a considerable quantity
was wasted. In 1894 attempts we've
made in Scotland, at Wishaw, near
Glasgow; at Seraing, in Belgium, and
at Horde, in Germany, to explode then
in an engine cylinder in the same way
as producer gas, instead of under boii-
ers. Complete success attended these
pioneer efforts. 1t was found that
when thus utilized, the quantity re-
quired was only one-fifth of tha'
needed when burnt under the ole
system, and this discovery has bee
very fruitful of good results, especial
ly in Germany and Belgium, where thu
subject has till now attracted mucl
more attention thanin England.
