SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The hunting of birch saplings suit
able for barrel hoops in the Maine
woods occupies 1000 men.
While $500 coal cutting machines
are used in United States mines, there
IRE less than 400 such machines in
British collieries.
The exports of pig iron from the
United Kingdom in the eight months
ended August 81 were 612,930 tons, as
compared with $50, $50 tons in 1901, and
with 1,O45,256 tons in 1900.
A Hydraulic cartridge" is being in
:troduced in English mines to bring
down coal in place of dynamite or
powder. The cartridge is 20 inches
long. It is inserted in drilled hole,
and by means of the well-known n.y.
draulic press principle pressure OF
three tons to the square inch is
brought to bear on the coal, which
after little time quietly gives way.
The costermonger has found an
apo1ogist in the London Lancet. 1t is
his business to watch the markets and
to buy extensively when there is a
glut, and to distribute the purchases
as quickly as possible. He thus pre-
vents the wholesale destruction OF
perishable goods, and he also discour-
ages the inclination of small shop
keepers to make extortionate charges.
OF the engines running on the Rus
sian railways, 4,766, or 80 per cent,
were built abroad, and 7,421, or 81 per
cent, in Russian engine yards. The
St. Petersburg & Warsaw railway has
the greatest number of passenger en-
gines, namely, POI; then come the
Southwestern railways with 172. the
Moscow, Yaroslav & Archangel rail
way with 1874, and the Southeastern
railways with 104 locomotives, while
the remaining lines have each less than
100 locomotives at work.
The immense accumulations of pine
and birch scraps around the big lum-
Der mills of Maine, which were long
an Inconvenience and a source of dan
ger from fire, are now being utilized
by small machines which make them
into novelties. The manufacture Of
toys, too, is gaining considerable i'm
portance, and method of painting
them by dipping may cheaper their

stocking. Among novelties 100000, 900
toothpicks, 25,o0O,ooo butchers skew
ers and 250,o0o,ooo birch spools are
turned out in a year. Checkers, half
a million dice boxes, bicycle rims,
tables, desks, and swings add to the
annual total.

From that time my happy, careless
life was ended. In vain they tried
to impress me that had only an
sweled the demands of justice, for
that shadow was always across my
pa tn, and my thoughts and dreams
were haunted by the sorrowful, plead
ing eyes of Henry Derbin.
Ten years later I was married and
lived in a neighboring town to our
old home. Strange to say, my husband
was one of the lawyers for the state
in the case of Henry Derbin. At that
time he was just starting out in the
profession, and his eloquent speeches
in that trial was the starting point
on his road to success.
We often spoke of the case, and
while, of course, as lawyer, his con-
science did not trouble him, he vain
ly tried to impress on me that l had
done only my duty, ana that my ideas
about it were all a mistake.
As if it were only yesterday I could,
in imagination, see his pale handsome
face and reproachful eyes as they car
AACu AlA away ~ PAAS
I think the shock to my sensitive,
childish mind completely hushed all
whisperings of justice, and the fact
only remained that by my words had
doomed fellow mortal to lifelong
misery and shame. My heart ached
for him when we heard that once he
had attempted to escape by jumping
from q boat into the river, but owing
to his shackles was promptly captured
and returned to prison.
One evening, not long after this,
about dusk, my husband and were
sitting on our front porch, when a man
came walking quickly down the walk
and halted at the steps. l was horrl-
fed to see that his hands were shackled
together, and on one foot he dragged q
long chain; he wore convict's garb,
and in his pale, thin face we both rec
ognized the features of Henry Derbin.
He it was-but oh, how changed
from the handsome, dashing fellow we
had sent to prison years ago! The
beautiful brown hair was cut close to
his head and the once flashing eyes had
the hunted look of closely pursued
animal, and the hideous convict clothes
hung like a sack from his emaciated
form. He glanced nervously from my
husband to my own startled face, but l
was glad to see he did not recognize US.
Friends" he said, "as you see, am
an escaped convict. No doubt you
have heard of Henry Derbin, sent to
prison from this county years ago.
He now stands before you begging for
mercy. I have not long to live, but be-
fore I die I must see my mother, and
the woman who has been true to con-
Wet lover all these years. I escaped,
but can do nothing in these shackles.
The officers are not far behind, but
they will never take Henry Derbin to
prison again." and he significantly

friends, for the love of God, file of
these chains and set me Free"
Oh, how my heart leaped at the
thought that I could now undo my
work and ease the long troubled con-
science. I looked imploringly at my
husband, who bid me go and bring the
file. went with flying feet. Ash gave
it to him he must have read my
thoughts. Hoo I longed to ten the
poor fellow the part I had taken in his
life, and ask the forgiveness craved,
for, as he took the file, he said:
my man, I am lawyer, and
strange to say, one of those who con-
victed you, and as such should deliver
you up to justice, but for the sake of
my wife here, who was your child wit
ness, and has always grieved over your
sad fate, I will set you Free"
He fixed his sad gaze upon me and
said: do not trouble yourself, dear
madam, it was justice, for I brought it
on myself by my rashness and fiery
temper, but God only knows how ]
bless you for giving me even a few
hours. of freedom.
He left us and hurried away toward
his home. My heart felt lighter than
it had for years, and I prayed that the
poor fellow would have the privilege
of seeing his mother and sweetheart
again. But my hopes were dashed
away as a number of officers dashed
past the house in close pursuit of their
prisoner. They had only been gone
few moments when pistol shot rang
clear and sharp on the evening air.
My husband caught my shuddering
form in his arms, for we knew that, by
his own hand, the soul of Henry Derbin
had gone to trial in higher court,
where would not be called as wit
ness.-New Orleans Times-Dcmocrat.

How He Escaped a WettinR.


Prof. Blank, who was born dry, and
is prone to thrust his dryness upon
others, recently achieved additional
dryness for himself. He was among q
large party shooting on the moors of
Scotland. Suddenly heavy storm of
rain came on. No shelter was at hand,
and the sportsmen were drenched. All,
at least, but Prof. Blank. He had
mysteriously disappeared when the
rain came on, and rejoined the party
when the sun was shining again. To
their amazement, the erudite one was
as dry as one Of his own books. "How
did you manage to escape wetting?"
growled one of the dripping sports
men. "As soon as the rain came on I
went off by myself" returned Prof.
Blank, blandly, Slipped off all my
clothes, and sat down on them till tho
shower was over."-Liverpoo Post.
