A MARVELLOUS METAL.
New Process of Tenpering Iron
Discovered in Germany.

Following close upon the trial OF
new method of hardening iron at the
governmental station at Charlotten-
berg, Germany, which caused quite
sensation a short time ago, comes the
report of another process just dlscov-
cred by a master blacksmith, named
Knigge, in Homberg, which has be-
come the topic of conversation In the
Lower henish-Westphalian iron In
dustry.
It is said that the process can be
used with every class of iron. Numer'
Gus iron parts keep pouring in from
foreign firms, which Knigge tempers
and then returns to the manufacturers.
An English company has onered
Knigge 100000 marks for his dis
covery, but the offer has been refused,
Knigge having connected himself with
a wealthy capitalist, Mr.. Van Holt.
A plant has been erected at Ruhrort
harbor, in which the process is carried
out. Later on 1t is purpoeed to build
| a large factory at this place.
Privy Councillor Krupp is very much
interested in the discovery, the more
so as Knigge claims that his process
costs one-fourth that of the krupF
method, and is at the same time TAI
more effective, as bullets which have
been hardened by his method had
pierced Krupp ermor plate, which
leaves no doubt that a Krupp shell
could not pierce armor plate harden
ed by the Knigge process. Mr.. kniggf
looks for great results from his dis
covery in the axle-tree and ball-bear
ing industries.
Mr.. Knigge promptly applied for ant
received trademark protection on hi
discovery, while application has alst
been made to have his process patent
ed.
Mr.. Knigge is a native OF West
phalia, but spent twenty years OF hi
life in Holland, marrying a native o
that country, and returned to German.
but short time ago, taking up hi
residence in Homberg.
Only the future can tell whether o
not the Knigge process is really as i'm
portant as is claimed on all sides. A
is we'll known, numerous methods TO
tempering iron have been discovered
: which showed excellent results Il
small experiments, but which coul
not be executed in connection wit
large quantities of iron, and therefor
proved worthless.

Origin of the Piano.

There lived at the court OF Prince
Ferdinand de Midici. about 200 years
ago, a Padun harpsichord maker
named Bartollemeo Christoferi. man
of great inventive genius. After many
experiments he solved the problem
which had been puzzle to the musi
cal instrument makers of the period
how to make satisfactory working
keyed psaltery," and by the methoe
be invented in overcoming the diff
culties inherent in the task. produced
an instrument which was the undoubt
ed ancestor of the pianoforte OF to
day. From 1709-the date wheI
Christoferi made his four keyed
p.alteries' piano, at first slowly
but afterward by leaps and bounds
went on increasing and increasing II
popularity, until now its manufactur
has become a great industry.

THE CHIPMUNK AND HIS TOILET.

IHE Cf1lf WI OlNh AMI A1Ao iSAA<A1 .
Some of US might take lessons from
this little animal.
The chipmunk Is industrious In all
weathers. except the very rainy, al
though he Is rather shy on a very
windy day.
The rustling and waving branches
make him wary. He eats sitting on
his launches and holding his food in
his forepaws.
He drinks by tapping like dog.
He is very neat about his person,
combing out his fur and his long tail
with paws and teeth.
He washes his face by tapping his
forepaws and then rubbing them both
at the same time over his face with
such speed that the eye can hardly
| follow his motions.-Red Man and
Helper.

A LITTLE THINKER.


Cunning little Johnny,
Three years old today,
Standing at the window,
Doesn't want'to play.
He is watching papa
Out there in the snow,
Tn and down the vineyard,
Slowly to and fro.
He Is thinking deeply
OF the reason why
Papa stays out there SO long,
Then comes In bye-and-bye.
And so he turns to mamma
Sitting in her chair.
Mamma. what Is papa
DOM way out dere?"
Mamma answers briefly,
"He is trimming grapes"
Johnny looks surprised and
A little laugh escapes.
Still another question
From thoughtful little John.
Mamma, how does papa
Sew de trimmin's on?"

A TRUE CAT STORY.

There are many who would say that
cats feel no genuine affection, even
for those who have treated them kind
ly. But, in my judgment, this opin-
ion is erroneous. An incident in my
own life proves to my own satisfac'
ton that cats do love those who treat
them kindly, and that in no small de-
gree.
At about six or seven years of age
came into the possession Of gray
kitten, which soon became a treasure
to me. | looked after tom" myself,
gave him his meals regularly-some-
thing, too. very often, between meals
and lavished upon him all the af-
lection l could. Very soon he showed
an affection for me which he bore to
no other member of the family; in
fact, on more than one occasion he
ran away from my brother, who was
rather given to teasing him. and came
to me for protection.
used to smuggle Tom to bed with
me, and hide him under the blankets
until / was satisfied no one would
come near me again for the night.
Then would l drag him forth in tri-
umph from his hiding place and hug
him closely to my breast. Tom show
Ing his appreciation by purring loud
ly and diligently rubbing my neck
and chin with his soft cheek. To my
sorrow 1T was only once in a long
while that was allowed this pleasure
as very often my mother in her final
look at me for the night would spy
my pet or hear him purr, and then
Tom would be banished from the
room.
| Sometimes, when particularly anx
ious to be with me, he found a way to
manage 1t. During the night, IL the
window was not open he forced his
way through a pane of glass, and
awoke to find him nesting on the pill
low beside my cheek. This may
sound incredible, but it is nevertheless
true, and l think that Tom must have
felt a deep love for me. or he wouit
not have been so eager to be with me
OF course he did not do this sort o.
thing regularly, but remember sew
eral occasions on which he did so
Every morning he visited me before
was out of bed. and we generally haC
our breakfast together.
The school | attended was distan
about two miles. At first, though lott
to leave Tom behind. it never occur
red to me to take him with me. Blu
after a time he sometimes accom-
panied me, either sitting on my shoul
ders or in my arms or running alonl
by my side. During school hours b.
remained close by. outside in tn
woods. At intermission l sought hir
out and during the dinner hour let hir
share my lunch. When school wa
over he accompanied me home. Blu
he had not the opportunity of doin
this very long. because when l wa
about ten years old was sent to
school about twenty miles away. an
then l saw Tom only about once i
three months.-Our Animal Friend.
