To those persons whose eyes are so

objects near at hand and at a dis

Uses of Iron and Steel Stag.

The most important of the uses of
Stag is the manufacture of structural
material, and especially hydraulic
cements. The production of the six
or eight slag-cement establishments in
1901 amounted to 272, $50 barrels; and
two plants are making Portland
cement from Stag and limestone. The
highly phosphate slags produced in
basic Bessemer converters are valu-
able fertilizers. Mineral wool is also
largely derived from Stag; though
about one-half of that sold is made
from natural rocks of different types.
In 1901 $500 tons of mineral wool
were made from Stag in the United
States. In the year about 5000 tons
of Stag were used in constructing
macadam highways in various states,
and these have proved entirely salts

until persons entering or leaving have
cleared the steps and are thus out of
the dangerous position; second. to
provide a mechanism to prevent any
increase of speed while a person is
on the steps, even though such person
mounted while the car was in motion,
thus guarding against any increase OF
the risk which the passenger assumes
when mounting the steps; third, to
provide a positive means to enable
the conductor to prevent the motor
man from starting the car when dan
ger arises out of the range of vision
of the latter.
The apparatus is a simple one, COM
prising a ratchet wheel located on the
shaft of the controller, with pawl
engaging the teeth to prevent rotation
in one direction while the steps are
depressed by a persons weight
Placing the foot on the step of the

power without interfering with the
cutting off of the current if it is par
tally or wholly applied to the motor.

Exhibition of Real Grit.

The Rev. Prebendary Webb Peploe
of England was a famous athlete at
Cambridge university in his day. The
following remarkable tale is told of
him: "A fall of fifteen feet from a
ladder had SO severely injured him
that his life was despaired of. How
ever, by dint of medical skill and care
fui nursing he recovered a fair
amount of health and strength. One
day, after having been confined to
bed for six months, he was told that
the university sports were fixed for
the morrow and that his college, be-
ing somewhat undermanned, stood
greatly in need of assistance. He at
once p1uckily jumped out of bed, en-
tered his name and succeeded in car
rying OF the prize. After which," the
story ends, "he went back to bed and
remained on his back for the next
kwelye months"

NAVAL POWER or JAPAN.

A timely article in the October
number OF The North American Re-
view is one on The Growing Naval
Power Of JAPAN by Archibald S.
Hurd. In 1858. Queen Victoria pre-
scented a small steam-yacht to the en-
perOr of Japan, detailing some Brit
ish bluejackets to the duty of instruct
ing the Japanese in the management
of that class of vessel. The Japanese
undertook to handle the craft before
they had thoroughly learned their
lesson. and on their first voyage. when
they wanted to stop, they discovered
that they had forgotten how this Ope-
ration was performed. They, there
fore. steamed round and round the
gulf Of YeddO until the fires died
down. and then the yacht was tugged
home. Since then Japan has risen to
the position of one Of the great naval
powers, and her progress of recent
years has been nothing short Of mar
velOus. At the time of her war with
China, her whole fleet displaced about
thirty thousand tons; today the ag-
gregate displacement is over two hun
dred and fifty thousand tons. Japan
has a fishing population of about ten
million men, and from this section OF
the community she draws her seamen
Hitherto she has been depending upon
other countries for the construction
Of her vessels. but the time is near at
hand when she will be able to throw
off the assistance of the western
world. Her arsenals are already ca
pable of building protected cruisers
and torpedo craft, and a gun-factory
and armor-plate factory are now be
ing established which will soon be
ready to begin work. Of the japanese
sailors. Mr.. Hurd says:
Her seamen are men Of intelli
gence. resource and sea-lore, and cap

mechanical skill to enable them tt

sTUBBLEFIEID ENDOWMENT.

Public spirited citizens who have
volunteered 10 circulate among the
taxpayers petitions asking the county
commissioners to appropriate $4,000
to secure the location in this county
of the Stubblefield home, state that
heir work would be made much easier
if he three executors of the will. who
are also named as trustees Of the
home, would make some definite state
ment to the public regarding their
plans for conducting the institution.
Many taxpayers before signing the Pc
titiOn would like some assurance from
the trustees that the Stubblefield
home will not be OverCrOWded with
mendicants from all parts Of the
states of Washington and Oregon.
The interest on an endowment OF
$4,000 Will not maintain a great
number of widows and orphans, and
there is general feeling that the
trustees should agree to place some
restrictions upon applicants for refuge
in the Home.
The trustees certainly have the
right under the viii to make some
rules regarding the number Of in
mates the institution should undertake
to maintain and also regarding the
character age and condition Of the
widows and orphans eligible for adj
mission The institution should be
made self-sustainilg. No doubt if it
proves successful philanthrOpic citi-
zens will from time to time increase
its endowment and thus increase its
sphere of usefulness. But in no
event should it be allowed to become
a burden upon the taxpayers. Under
prudent management the Home would
deserve TO receive and would no doubt
receive aid from the state and would
in time come to be regarded as per-
manent institution of the common
wealth. and a credit to the city in
which it is located.

would be wise and eXpedient for the

The county commissioners have
raised the tax levy from IA to 16 mills
with an additional tax Of pa mills for
road purposes. Present indications
are that the current expense fund will
be exhausted some time before the

county will then have to meet its bills

warrants.
