the streets shouted warnings to the
people as they rushed madly to the
hills for their lives. They did not
dare to turn back or they, too, would
have been swept away.
Fathers left wives and children to
perish, as they had not a moment to
spare. In some cases men returned to
save members of their families, but it
was too late, and many were carried
to their death while returning.
Those who had reached the banks
in safety Immediately formed them
selves into small rescuing parties and
started in to save those that could
be reached. Ropes were the only
means that we had. Those who were
in midstream could easily be seen.
Their pitiful cries for help could be

IRON HARDENING. New Process in Germany Has I'm. portart Economies and AdvantaqeS.

The Bisbee Review is in receipt from the department of commerce and labor in Washington of the following communication from Consul General Oliver D. Hughes at Coberg:
 Phosphorus, as is well known. has the property of imparting a certain degree u surface hardening to iron. but not without producing brittleness. The iron is made to assume a coarse structure. in which the crystals are compar ratively loosely bound together This effcTt of phosporus of loosening the coherence of the molecules of the iron greatly facilitates the absorp- tion of carbon by the iron. The car bon rapidly penetrates the iron to a considerable depth, imparting great ,toughness to the core and nullifying the comparatively slight defect con- stituted by the inconsiderable brittle ness of the surface.
 Two Prussian inventors apply this principle in their process for harden ing iron by heating the same in a tempering powder consisting of or ganic nitrogenous substances contain ing a high percentage of fusible ash and employing phosporus as the me dium for the introduction of carbon into the iron. Without yepjudicially affecting the welding properties of the iron. it imparts such a degree of hardness thereto that it can neither be cut or clipped by the best steel used
 In order to harden the surface of about 200 kilograms CA pounds) of iron to a depth of l millimeter (0.0394 inch) by means of this process. the pieces should be embedded in retort mufle or the like. in bone dust. to which is added a mixture of 300 grains of yellow prussiate, 250 grains of Cy' anide of potassium, and 400 grains of phOsporus. The receptacle is well closed. luted with clay, etc, and raised 10 clear red or white heat whereupon the material treated is immersed in a glowing condition in a water or other bath.

Portraits on 1ombstones.

Local marble dealers are taking a
keen interest in an enterprise, which
had it's origin in Denmark, for repro
ducing the pictures of dead persons on
their tombstones, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. They say that it is very
probable that the movement will
spread to America in a short time.
The ricture-on-the-tombs craze
started among the Danes as result
of the use Of artificial marble. A
Danish master builder succeeded in
producing a stone of such delicate
tints that it was impossible to distin-
guish it from the natural product. The
imitation of the more expensive spe-
cies was found to cost far less than
the natural, and is made in any form
desired, columns, plain, or fluted, and
capitals-as readily as fiat slabs. The
durability is said to be as great as
that of the genuine marble. 1t was
also found that 1t was possible to
reproduce, by carving, a picture Of the
deceased person, in the imitation mar

shave. They have certain day in
the week-I think 1t is Friday-for
this operation. They use no lather,
but warm water alone, and they shave
not only the face and neck, but the
forehead also. They are very quick
and get through the whole process In
a minute or two. Nor Is It strange
that they are quick, for they have no
more hair on their faces than any
other women. Shaving with them Is,
in fact, a mere matter of form-a re-

constant shaving develops boards in

Chapel, in the northwestern part Of
the county, a church of which he was
pastor for sixty years. Like Mr.. May,
he has persistently refused to accept
anything for his services. Three
thousand couples have been united in
marriage by him.
The third member of this wonderful
trio resides about seven miles from
town, near Grape Vine church, of
which he was pastor for mcre than
forty years, and, like his two brother
workers, he has declined to accept any
remuneration for his labors. Elder
Graham has kept daily diary for the
past forty years, and the pages Of this
book settle all disputes and disagree
ments in that section of the country
and obviate the cost and worry of law
suits and such like, as his word is
taken as the law and the gospel in
that region.
