Bread Cast Upon the Waters.

serves another Is clearly demonstrated in
the case OF Syracuse man who is devel-
oping an industry in our city. as the result
Of having befriended a stranger" said T.
F. Burroughs Of New York city to a Star
man at the New Willard this morning HE
was formerly minister of the gospel. Some
years ago he met an old Swede who was In
dire distress and ministered to him. The
Swede, In his gratitude, impaired to the
minister a secret process for making steel.
The old man had worked out the process,
but had grown old and begged his bene
factor to continue 1t. The latter was so
impressed with the earnestness Of the old
man that he gave up the ministry and
worked at the new process. He found that
II was a success and has since turned out
many thousand tools, and 1t Is confidently
believed that his small shop viii one OF

process is particularly adapted to the man
ufacture of edge tools. and the secret Is
known only to the one who directs the mix

LAND LOST TO TEXAS.
Result Of Recent Surveys Of the Lone
Star States Boundary.

Three portions of the boundary lines Of
the state Of Texas are under dispute. and
in each Instance the territory OF the lone
star state is cut into" said Marshall r
Golden to a Star man at the New Willard
this morning. There was recently filed In
the land Office OF the state a report of the
work under the act OF Congress requiring
the Secretary of the Interior to establish
the Tooth meridian which forms a part of
the eastern boundary Of Texas. It was at
first believed that Texas would gain an
eight-nile strip from Indian territory but
on the contrary according to the report
Texas win probably loose a strip three
quarters OF mile wide. Should this report
be considered as final people holding prop
erty on what was always considered the
Texas side will lose their title as a Texas
deed to the land will not be legal.
'"The same condition prevails along the
entire panhandle on the western end Of the
state. Surveyors have fixed tho 1O3d meri-
dian so as to cut off a strip three miles wide
embracing 300. 600 acres. from the lone state
and 1t has recently been brought to light
that New Mexico disputes the boundary
line extending from the westernmost point
Of Texas. and the lone star state Is about
to lose more land to New Mexico"

Asphalt Found in Texas.

John H. Ralston Is typical son Of the
lone star state and at the Raleigh this
morning spoke gieefuily to Star man of
the great strike OF asphalt in the neighbor-
hood Of his home at Lampasas.
"In every well sunk to a distance of 500
feet In that section" he said. asphalt has
been found in its purest state and In ex-
tremely large quantities Circumstances and
necessity forced the discovery on the people
when they were compelled By the drought
to 60 into the bowels of the earth for their
water supply. 1t appears that the asphalt
is q little too far underground to make
ndning 1t pay unless some inexpensive
scheme can be fixed to get it up. and am
now looking into the ways and means of
making the find profitable to the people Of
the community. At any rate the wells that
have been sunk into this stratum OF az
phaltum have been furnishing the purest
and most delicious water ever tasted"

Widening London Bridge.

From the Magazine OF Commerce.
The chief problem which had to be faced
by the designers of the widening Of London
Bridge were, first. not to increase more
than necessary the load upon the present
bridge foundations; second, to design a
structure which. while being effective.
would not detract from the present hand
some appearance of the bridge-aIwayx q
difficult matter and one too often lost sight
of in engineering structures. and. third to
design a method OF erection that would
make 1t possible to provide efficiently for
both foot passenger and river traffic during
the period of construction, strict clauses as
regards the river being inserted in the act
at the instance of the Thames conservancy.
The pressure due to the present structure
upon the London clay foundations is very
nearly five tons square foot; for purposes
of comparison II may be mentioned that In
the case of the Tower Bridge the load has
been restricted to four tons a square foot.
The Increased loading due to the new works
will only be about sixty pounds square
foot
With regard to the materials Of which
the widening was to be constructed the de-
signers were practically limited to steel In
the form of girders and to cast iron or ma
sonry. The difficulty of blending steel
girders with the existing masonry will be
readily appreciated and no attempt to pre-
pare a design In this material was made
Cast iron on the other hand. had certain
advantages over masonry. being both
cheaper and lighter, but. in view of the
known objection of parliament to its use
for this purpose. the final designs were pre-
pared with granite as the material. A great
many of the existing stones will be re-
dressed and worked into the new structure;
the London atmosphere will soon blend this
with the older portions. and no objection 10
its upon esthetic grounds can be made

which is known to science as the limnoria
The attention of the building department
has been called to the sinking OF buildings
and the bullying Of walls on business blocks
and in many instances it has been necessary
to brace the buildings with heavy beams to
keep them from falling.
The old buildings, mostly OF brick which
line the sides of the river in Milwaukee
were built upon what builders call floating
foundations. First layer Of railroad ties
was laid and the stone foundation was
placed on them. It is on these ties the
worms are apparently at work The worm
floats along the surface of the water, and
when the water recedes the worm is left
stuck to the docks and walls. 1t works its
way inside the foundation and bores contin-
uously. so 1t can very readily be seen the
amount of damage that can be done. The
newer buildings erected on piles covered
with cement are not affected by the worms"
