.PERILOUS POSITION
HORSE AND RIDER,
Between flowing Trains at

Crossing.

1t is stated that gentleman, riding
a horse, was hemmed in between the
tracks of two passing trains at the
Brumby crossing the other day in this
city, one train on the w. & A. r. K.
and the other on the A. K. & N. Rail
road. This was q close place for a
horse and rider, but the horse behaved
himself and both escaped injury. This
perilous position is enough to make a
mans hair on his head turn gray in
simultaneously through fright. There
is nothing like keeping cool in positions
of danger.

The fair fayorite besought the sui

to take so radical a step. Then his

this by making& change in Egypt.
That dependency had been ruled by

spring, after a lot Of arguing, got a
west side laundry to try it, with the
understanding that I was to take 1t

a month or so I thought I'd go over
and see how it was working.
=" AS I approached the laundry saw
that there wasn't a bit Of smoke roll

almost impossible to see from the
outside that there was a fire in the
boiler. 1t made me feel mighty good
to see that the thing was working so

These are the main outlines Of the
story Incidents by the score might
be related, showing how the British
nation, against its will, was slowly and
reluctantly led by a seeming fate to
the possession Of it's vast African en-

spired to weld into a vast imperial do

empire in India is that in Africa. There

Portuguese will disappear from Africa,
and Great Britain and Germany will
divide the large Portuguese posses
sions, now feebly held and undevel-
oped. The work Of the past century in
Europe and America is astounding in
retrospect. Probably it will be even
eclipsed in Africa in the new century

Half a century ago Africa was not

It's interior was unexplored and I'M

any business in the Eastern Mediter-

the French, as a means of suppressing
the Barbary piracy, and Cape Town
was held by the English as a way

Almost the whole Of this great Afri-

It is rather remarkable thatsome
of our shipbuilding firms have had
to import iron and steel from Scot
land. 1t is stated that the New
York Shipbuilding company, at
Camden, n. j., has ordered $4,000
tons of manufactured iron and steel
from the Lancashire Iron company,
Scotland, for the reason that home
companies were unable to fill the
order. Judging from this the de-
mand for iron and steel products
in this country must be most ex-
traordinary. Under these circum-
stances it is easily understood why
it is that there is such phenomenal
prosperity in the iron and steel in
dustry. Why is it that new iron
and steel plants are not being es-
tablished? Surely Birmingham,
Alabama, could quadruple her out
put of iron and steel if the capital
for such was forthcoming.
