FINE JAPANESE .woRD BLADES.

One thousand Sheets Of Magnetic
Metal in One Saber.
What do you think of a sword blade
that contains a thousand sheets OF
metal? Yet the Detroit News-Tribune
asserts that they are not uncommon.
and, as you will readily imagine. are
of oriental workmanship. Our pains
taking, patient japanese friends are
the makers of them.
The blades of these sabers are made
from magnetic iron ores. The steel is
produced in small, very thin sheets,
and the workman begins by fixing one
of them to end Of an iron rod, which
serves as a handle. To this are sol
dered other small sheets, until the
mass has a length of about eight
inches, a width of about eight and a
thickness little more than a quarter
of an inch.
This bar Il brought to a white heat,
doubled on itself and hammered until
it is down TO its original dimensions.
This process is repeated fifteen times.
Four similar bars are .nen soldered
together, doubled upon themselves, re-
soldiered and heated, the operation
being repeated five times. This proc
ess makes the superimposed layers so
thin that saber contains at least
a thousands sheets of metal.

AND TYPHOID FEVER

Doctors Deny That Alcohol Gives Inn
munity From Disease.
Coupled with an epidemic of typhoid
fever, which has invaded twenty
households in the village of Bayside,
l.. l., and incapacitated the only ply
sfcian in the place, DR.. Charles B.
Story, comes the curious statement
that all the families stricken by the
dread malady are strict teetotallers,
while the drinking portion of the COM
munity has thus far escaped.
Drinking members of the commun-
ity are boasting that drinking kills
the fever germs. Instead of inviting
a man to have a drink, the Bayside
salutation now is Have a germ kill
err" The physicians, however, say
the drink question has nothing to do
with the epidemic.

something more than a passing &C.
Quaintance with Wordsworth, Tenny-

Teufelsdroch and his philosophy he

without a book in his pocket. On
railway journeys he always takes up
a book as soon as he has finished

it will appear that Mr.. Quay is not,
