Mix l3 per cent. Of manganese with
steel, and the alloy becomes prac-

dinary steel.
According TO a dispatch TO a Lon
don paper, the electrical equipment
in use al the Indian Durbar at Delhi
was the largest temporary plant
ever erected. There were so tons of
overhead cables and so tonr of buried
lines.

NEW ZEALAND M. P.'s.
sasri aiemberu % the Present Are
vsatly Improved over Their
Predeeena0rs.

The name OF one Of the four Maori
N. P.'s just elected in New Zealand
revives historical "reminiscences. He Is
one Hone Heke. Nearly 90 years ago
there was q great lighting Maori chief
by that name. fanatical opponent Of
the British colonization of New Zea-
land. On one occasion he literally
drove the British into the sea, captur-
ing q fortified settlement and compel
ling military and civilians alike TO take
refuge on ships In the harbor. The
Britiah soldiers roughly Anglicized his
name into Johnny Hickey" and hence
arose a legend that he was really an
Irishman in the guise Of Maori.
The Maori N. P.'s are now a superior
and weH-educated class. says the Lon
don Chronicle. Their predecessors Of
the SOS and 7O's were decidedly uncon-
ventlonal and primitive in their tastes
and habits. II was nothing unusual to
see one of them stroll into the house
with a section Of shark protruding
from his pocket. and Judging from the
exodus OF white members in his vicinity
the shark had not recently been
caught. As they know only their own
language. each sentence of their
speeches had to be translated by an
official interpreter, and this was a
dreary business.

Vandals have been at work again at
Hampton court. When the portraits
Of William Ill. and Henry VIII. were

A study Of the vibrations of gun.

with that of a vibrating tuning fork
on moving film. An electric con.
tact recorded the exact instant al
which the projectile left the barrel. II
was found that the vibrations are clip

were the vibrations delayed until the
bullet had left the muzzle, that right

the Spanish War volunteers have
applied for pensions. OF these 1881
soldiers have been allowed pensions,
as have also 8, 100 widows and de-
pendents. Claims numbering l8, 1856
have been rejected and $4,000 are
still pending. These appear like
rather large figures for what may be
