The kite measurements are relatively
accurate, because during the pro

and paid out until the altitude of thu
ducks is exactly measured by the alti
tude of the kites.

TROUBLED BY RAIN OF STEEL.
singuIsr Asnoyances to which Some
Pennsylvania People Are
Subjected.

The farmers up in Rockhill town
shin. in the vicinity of Perkasie, are
wishing they could wear armor-proof
clothing, and all because of the steel
rain that has been causing them 20
seek shelter at all hours Of the day. IL
has been exceedingly dangerous for a
peaceful, quiet-loving agriculturist up
in this region to 90 out into his fields,
says n Doyleston correspondent OF
the Philadelphia North american.
The commonwealth 81 Pennsylvania,
at the instance of John p. Elkins, at
torney general, has filed a bill of
equity here to restrain the Rockhill
Industrial company. OF which Henry
Freed is superintendent, from filling
the air with flying missiles of steel.
weighing anywhere from half a pound
up to 25 pounds. A preliminary in
junction has been granted.
The defendant company was organ.
lied to crush and break up steel and
iron castings, so that they may be
handled by the various steel com
p%anies. These scraps" weigh some
times 20 or 80 tons, and are shipped to
Rockhill by the Reading railway
There they are unloaded and taken to
the Industrial works. OF course the
breaking up Of the SCRAPS" could not
be allowed in a populous community
because of the very great danger from
flying missiles. The blasting out OF
the steel requires heavy charges OF
dynamite, and the pieces are thrown
for distances of nearly a mile over
the surrounding country.
The piecesof steel TO be separated are
placed in a pit, and a charge fixed in
hole drilled in the metal. The custom
used to be to blow a whistle when q
blast was TO he made, so that the farm
ers who were out blowing or reapini
could hunt a tree to hide behind. TIL,
horses had to take their chances. Blu
this whistle blowing was given up, ant
the first notice the unwary farmer hat
was when he heard a peculiarly weird
whizziny noise that accompanies III,
fight OF the proicctiles through tn,
air. The things came so fast that i
was utterly useleSS 10 Try get our q
the way, and there have been Il goo,
many farmers up there who have hat
ten-pound steel weights droppin,
within a couple of feet of them and he
ing buried four or five feet in tn
ground.
And the storekeepers, too, hav,
troubles of their own. Every C il
awhile there is a tremendous rattle o
crockery. and "a lot Of dishes piled u
on the shelves are hurled to the floor
and all because of the c%oncussiol
caused by the explosion. The fact !
hat some of the storskeepers are s.
much wrought up over the losses the,
sustain from these crockCry break
ages that they are thinking of goini
into some other business.

An R DAUGHTER.
Father She shows Her Self
sustaining Ability.

The daughter Of an English earl,
after a neglected childhood passed
among servants, was brought out in
society. She was shy and sensitive.
and took no interest in fashionable
life. Her conduct excited SO much dis
pleasure that she became most unhap-
py and Respondent. Neglected and
despised at home, she ran away to Lon
don, and refused to return to her IA
Tiers house, relates Youths Com
panion.
As her father cut her of without a
shilling. she had to support herself,
and live on starvation wages. She
began with lace-making and sewing,
and had n 10 in a tenement house.
She was a fearless rider, and at one
time made a living by breaking unruf,
horses in Scotland.
A friend, after selling some of the
daughters lace to the mother, on
trived to secure the payment Of =
small allowance from the father. With
this money she was able to perfect
her education in music, and to carry
off prizes at a college on the CONT
nent.
About this time she vas impressed
with stories which she heard Of the
%sufferings Of native women in India
and the far east. She dropped her mu-
sic. and for six years devoted herself
TO the study OF medicine and surgery.
She won a medical degree in England,
mastered the French language in or
der to obtain a higher degree in Brus-
sells. took a hospital and nursing course
In London, and had special practice in
the slums Of Dublin.
Meanwhile she was receiving a pit.
tance from her father barely large
enough to enable her to keep soul and
body together. She was wholly es
tranged from her family, who were
ashamed OF the poor relation.
Finally she received the reward fol
her many years Of solitary study ant
persistent effort. An appointment al
court physician in Corea was offere,
ing for what she considered her mis-
sion in the world-work among nativ
women in the far east. Her fathe
then agreed to give her a thousand dol
lars a year.
This il not the ordinary romance o
the peerage. II is a true story, an
shows what a woman Of real grit ca
do, when she has courage, patience an
a noble ambition. The shy girl wit
a plain face has made her way in til
world, although she was a failure
the drawing-room as the earl's dnugl
ter.
