NEW STEEL PROCESS.
Converting by Chemicals May RevO-
Iutionize Trade.

What no small number of experts
who have examined it say may revolu-
tionize the process of converting steel
from the cheapest to the highest grade
is the invention which George E. Pink
ham OF Norfolk, Va, who recently ar
rived in New York, has made after eX-
periments of twenty-seven years. The
new process which Mr.. Pinkham has
invented is based on chemicals. To a
New York Tribune reporter Mr. Pink
ham said:
"This process will make a better
steel at cost of about 2 cents a pound
than any steel have ever seen. even
that metal that retails at 80 cents a
pound. BY its use old steel tools, even
those that have been burned and are
supposed worthless, can be made as
good as the finest grade. Just by hand
work I can transform 200 pounds of
steel day from ten cent to fifty cent
STEEL
An exceptionally interesting story is
connected with the invention. In 1875
Mr.. Pinkham- then fourteen years old,
found under an old stone house on
Promenade hill. Hudson, n. Y, a
rusty knife. He took it home, and his
father cleaned it. On the bone handle
were then found the initials "a. p"
These, Mr.. Pinkham's father said,
were the initials of the lads great
grandfather, Abisha Pinkham, who
built the stone house where the knife
had been found in 1872 and lived in it
until 1870. The knife therefore must
have been lost for over eighty years.
The curious thing about it was its re-
markably good temper. and this, men
familiar with steel manufacture then
said, was due to it's being under
ground so long. Young Mr.. Pinkham
afterward began experimenting in the
hope of finding how to initiate nature
in what he supposed was the temper
ing of steel. Putting steel in the
ground at random at various heats, he
found that times he got an excellent
temper and at other times none at all.
Then about twenty years ago he be-
gan using chemicals, but not until
about four months ago did he meet
success. Then, he says, he found that
instead of tempering steel he had
learned about a month ago how to con-
vert it

MILBURN'S COURAGE.
Chance which Brought Fame to the
Senate's Blind Chaplain.

Chance which Brought Fame to the
Senate's Blind Chaplain.
Few clergymen in America are better
known than was the late Rev. W. II.
Milburn, who was for so many terms
the ''blind chaplain" of the national
house of representatives and of the
senate, says Youths Companion. The
story, vouched for in various biogra-
phies, of his first election to that honor
is entirely to the credit of his fidelity
and of the better feelings of the legis-
lators who saw reason to propose his
name.
In 1885, when travelling as a circuit
preacher, he was sent from st. Louis to
Wheeling, w. Va. On the boat were
several congressman, going TO Wash
ingtOn, some of whom shocked the
young minister by their reckless speech
and habits. They "swore outrageous
ly, drank whisky to excess and played
cards day and night"
One of the days of the long river
journey was Sunday, and Mr.. Milburn
was asked to preach. The offending
congressman were present to hear him,
and at the close of an appropriate dis
course he addressed them directly and
solemnly denounced their actions in the
plainest language. He told them ne
had supposed that the representatives
of the nation at its capital were repre-
sentatives of its character as we'll as
of its intellect, but IF l am to judge
the nation by YOU" said he. Il can
come to no other conclusion than that
it is composed of profane swearers,
card players and drunkards''
He told them that as an American
citizen he felt disgraced by their ex-
ample, and after charging them with
its terrible effect upon the youth of the
land he gave them warning that I'M
less they repented and turned to right
eousness their own end was certain
ruin under the punishment of Al
mighty God.
If there was any criticism of the
young preachers judgment in thus pub
licly arraigning distinguished men, ev
cry one of whom was old enough to be
his father, they were not the ones to
put it into words. What followed was
as unexpected as it was admirable.
The same day Mr.. Milburn was wait
ed upon in his stateroom by a gentle
man, who presented purse, about $75,
from the congressman, in token of their
'sense of his courage and faithful
ness" and desired to know if he would
allow them to present his name at the
opening election of chaplain to con-
greSS.

A young man living near Temecula

he will carry through life as the result
of a recent encounter with a mountain
lion. In company with one of the men
from the ranch he started one morning
on a quail hunt. After Indifferent sue
cess in company for two hours they
separated, with the understanding that
they should return to the ranch by
noon. At that time his companion ar
rived, but the other man had not come
in. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the absent mans setter dog came creep
ing in, nearly famished for water and
with great gashes in his side.

and water the dog led them over two
miles across the hills. and it was well
| toward sunset when it crawled to the
| summit of q hogback covered with a
dense growth of chaparral. Here its
strength gave out; but, growing ON
| inouSly and with bristles erect, it
dragged its body slowly along. The
dogs action showed to the search par
ty that what it sought was just ahead,
and, crashing through the bushes, the
men entered the cleared space some
twenty yards in diameter. In the CEN
ter was a dead dog. On the edge Of
the open lay the body of the man they
sought, his heavy corduroy hunting
suit torn almost from his body and his
flesh gashed in a horrible manner. 1t
was at first thought he was dead, but
closer examination showed there was
yet life One shoulder and arm were
crushed, the flesh on his limbs was in
ribbons, and across his breast and left
thigh were great gashes. Near him
was his double barreled shotgun, the
stock shattered and the barrel bent.
The hunters burro was found with
its neck broken and its throat torn
open. He had left the animal secured
| by its halter some time before encoun-
tering the lion. 1t is supposed that
the lion attacked the burro while the
hunter was exploring a canyon a short
distance away in search of small
game.
| Following the dog into some bushes
on the other side of the clearing, they
found a huge mountain lion stone dead.
There were numerous gaping wounds
| in its throat, and the flesh on its jaws
and ears showed also that the dog had
been in at the death. In the left side
of the animal was a hunting knife
driven to the haft.
A litter was prepared, and the
wounded man and dog were taken
back to the ranch. 1t was weeks be-
| fore the man recovered.
In telling the story afterward the
hunter said it was nearly noon and he
was returning in the direction of the
ranch when he heard his dog growing
in the bushes. Forcing his way through
the brush, he confronted the lion. that
was standing with one foot on the doe
| it had just pulled down. The lion was
flashing its sides and the ground with
| its tail and snarling vfciousIy as it
watched the dog circling around. Lion
and man saw each other at the same
moment, and without an fnstant's hest
tation the lion crouched for spring.
Retreat was impossible, so the hunter
gave it charge of small bird shot as
it leaped, then side stepped and gave it
the contents of the other barrel. The
fine shot only maddened the animal,
