the plate mills Of the Homestead Steel
works and subsequently to the order
department of the plant.
Applying himself with all the energy
at his command to each new duty as
signed him, Mr.. Corey, while still little
more than youth, held positions Of
great responsibility and trust, with an
army of thousands Of workmen under
his control. That he succeeded in every
position Is tribute to the wonderful
power Of organization and grasp Of de-
tail with which he is endowed.
At the age of twenty-five he was
made superintendent of the plate mill
of the Homestead Steel works. His
next advance was to the position Of su-
perintendent Of the armor plate plant,
which he filled until 1895, when he sue
ceeded G. M. Schwab as general super
intendent of the Homestead Steel
works, the latter becoming the presi-
dent of the Carnegie Steel company.
Notwithstanding that his predecessor
was accounted one of the most remark
able men of his time, Mr.. Corey did
not suffer by comparison, and under
his management the business Of the
Homestead Steel works grew greater
year by year. While at Homestead Mr..
Corey invented an improved process
of manufacturing armor, which is
known to ordnance engineers as the
COREY reforging process" by which
the ballistic resistance of armor was
greatly increased and the weight Of
plate carried by ship considerably re-
duced.
Mr.. Corey was the choice of Mr..
Schwab as president of the Carnegie
Steel company on April 16, 1901. when
the latter was made president of the
United States Steel corporation. His
administration has been remarkably
successful. During his term the Nation
al Steel Hoop companies were added
to the Carnegie company. and since
these two companies We're taken in the
scope of the concern has been much
greater. Mr. Corey has held the conf
dence of the men with whom he work
ed, and his elevation to the higher Of
flee is looked upon as an honor wisely
bestowed.
The careers Of both Mr.. Schwab and
Mr.. Corey have been almost identical.
Both began at the lowest round Of the
ladder and by hard work with hand
and head, neglecting no opportunity to
add to their knowledge and usefulness.
A
negie, who like them, also began with
his hands and an ambition to succeed
as his only capital.

active duties of the position, Mr..
Schwab still remaining the nominal
head of the combination and acting In
an advisory capacity. A year or so ago
Mr.. Schwab announced that II was his

responsibilities imposed upon him and
is said to be the author of the plan of

and Santa Fe branch in Rush, Ness and
adjoining counties. Every day there are
numbers of farmers from points up
west who are at Great Bend to meet
the trains and send what men they can
get to their homes. Every day now
means big loss unless they can get
men, and to them it is a desperate stu
alton. Several trains have been stopped
at points west of Great Bend and the
passengers offered big wages if they
will only help harvest. Some farmers
promise the men $3.50 and So a day,

sight to see women in the fields driving

One plan pursued pretty successfully
by a number of farmers near Great
Bend is to have women representatives
meet the trains and hire the hands.
They have proved to be better than the
men, and there are a dozen or more
farmers in one locality who have full
crews which were obtained for them
by these women after they had practi-
cally failed in getting them themselves.

NOVEL FIRE ESCAPE DEVICE
German Engineer Invents Ladder of
Portable Bridges and Platforms.

Portable Bridges and Platforms.
What Chief Purroy of the New York
fire department regards as the best
thing that he has seen for aiding In ex-
tinguishing fires in high buildings or in
saving the lives of persons imperiled
therein was shown to him recently by
Emil Fiess, a native Of Germany, who,
though for sixteen years a resident Of
New York city, has spent the last two
years in his native land aiding the in
ventor Of the device in perfecting 1t
and securing patents.
The device is not at all complicated,
being simply the application of princi-
Piles already well known to mechanics.
A substantial truck bears the fire es-
cape, which largely consists in such an
application of the familiar jointed scis-
sors-like or double framework that the
outer joints or junction Of every sec
ond pair Of its legs are so shaped and
adjusted that they can serve as sup
ports for platforms Of gangways, which
can be put up at the various heights Of
the floors of inhabited buildings.
These platforms may then be dropped
forward so as to come near to the win
dows of the burning structure, thus
forming a passageway from the build
ing to the platform on the fire escape.
There are two ladders on this, one for
ascending, the other for descending,
and the imperiled ones may thus de-
scend out of harms way. Or if on the
opposite side of the street to that on
which the fire is burning there Is an
other building platforms may be sent
out to connect with its windows, and
those endangered may walk safely into
that building and escape. If the plat
forms attached to the fire escape are
not long enough to reach the burning
building there are provided portable
bridges that are attached to the plat
forms and sent directly into windows.
In addition to aiding persons to es-
cape, these devices will be of great
value in fighting fires, and lines of hose
may be carried to any desired floor,
and from the platform the flames may
be fought direct. The device may also
be used In military operations where 1t
Is desired to make observations from
great height, as base for directing
search lights and heliographs or for
wireless telegraph stations.
The platform can be erected in four
minutes to a height Of fourteen stories
by two men. 1t is operated by means
of cranks. 1t may be made of any
height, the weight being about 200
pounds to a story. One horse may pull
it, but it may also be propelled by cleo
tricity.
The inventor of the device, Otto
Lampe, is a successful and wealthy
German civil engineer who now occu-
pies the house in Baden-Baden In
which Bismarck formerly lived.

How John Barrett Won His First
Diplomatic Success.

How John Barrett Won His First
Diplomatic Success.
John Barrett, who has just been ap-
pointed United States minister to the
Argentine Republic, for the past year
and half has been commissioner gen
eral for the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition in Asi;r and Australia, during
which time he has Travelled $4,000 miles
and interviewed fifteen kings and en-
perors. ....
Mr.. Barrett is a native of Vermont,
but for many years has been resi-
dent of Oregon. He is q graduate of
Dartmouth college and when only
twenty-seven years old was appointed
minister to Siam by President Cleve-
land The first important task that
confronted the youthful envoy was to
present a claim for $250,0O0 against
the government of Siam. He was
warned by experienced diplomats
against using threats in pressing the
claim. "Be cunning, avoid arrogance"
they urged. hs t
"That is" responded Mr. Barrett
"you favor tickling with straw to
pricking with bayonet"
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
diplomats asked in astonishment, How
did you accomplish it?"
"By tickling" explai!2ed Barrett. 81
had to tickle them almost to death,
though, before they dg:eed to pay"
Subsequently he Travelled extensively

pines, investigating opportunities for
American trade. In 1893 he relin
quished his post as minister to Siam,
but remained in the east as correspond
ent for various newspapers.
In 1901 he was appointed delegate of
the United States to the international
conference of the American republics at
Mexico and since 1902 has been travel
ing in the far east for the st. Louis ex
position. Last December he was ap'
pointed United States minister to ia
pan, but he declined.
While minister to Slam Mr.. Barrett
obtained the first clear Interpretation
of the scope of foreign extraterritorial
Jurisdiction in Asia and was the pio-
neer advocate of the development OF
Americas commercial opportunities In
the far east. The salary Of the minis
ter to Argentina is $4,000.

of sound mechanical principles and
mathematical facts to the mechanical
aspects of the ear as an organ"
Miller Reese Hutchinson is a native
Of Mobile and ten years ago, when
but sixteen years of age, began work
ing on the problem, which even at
that age had engrossed his attention.
He was educated in the public schools
and at the Alabama Polytechnic insti-
tute, graduating from that school as an
electrical engineer. After his gradua-
ton Mr.. Hutchinson applied himself
to the perfecting Of two instruments
by means Of which, it Is said, persons
who have never heard sound in all
their lives have been enabled to hear
with distinctness music played on
piano and the tones Of the human
voice in ordinary conversation.

Nal maison Pink, the New Flower.

In London orchids, roses and violets
have given way to variety of carna-
ton that is so rich in texture and col
oring that we would scarcely recog-
nize our inexpensive pink in the new
creation, says the New York Press.
The new flower is called a Malmaison
pink, and it is the result of grating
the ordinary flower with a peony. The
effect is perfect, and for the most part
these Malmaisons are deep coral
shade. There is pretty story that a
Paris florist discovered this pink in the
gardens of Malmaison, the former
home of Napoleon's wife, Josephine,
and cut slip from the imperial plant,
but this is improbable, and the fable
is attached principally to boom" the
Malmaison. The Malmaison is worn
with all colors, and its peculiar shade
seldom fails to adorn woman.

A YOUTHFUL SCIENTIST.
Inventor of Wonderful Device TO
Make the Deaf Hear.


Scientific men all over the world are
deeply interested in the discovery
made by Miller Reese Hutchinson. a
young inventor, who by means of an
electrical device has seemingly dem
onstrated that the deaf can be made
to hear.
The instrument as explained by the
inventor is an application of the COM
bined principles of the telephone and
the microphone, the latter being a
very sensitive scientific instrument

combination sounds are vastly magni-
fed through the outer and middle
ears to the inner ear and the auditory
nerve
In operation the instrument sends
the air waves against the tympanum
and forces it to cibrate, thus vibrating
the middle ear and loOsening the three
vibratory bones so that they perform
their functions 1t was the use Of
this appliance it is said, that enabled
Queen Alexandra of England to re-
gain her hearing, which for some years
had been impaired. Mr.. Hutchinson
Is the happy possessor of gold med
al given him by the queen "for scien-
tific research and investigation"
While pursuing his investigation
the inventor made a study of the hu-
man ear under one of the leading
aursts of the country. acquiring a
thorough knowledge of its mechanical
construction. Speaking of this phase
Of his research, the inventor said: II

As a boy, tradition describes Leo
XIII. as a plump faced, pretty child,
with a good complexion and voice so
musical as to earn for him the title Of
Little Nightingale" Reading he had
learned from an old aunt; writing he
had taught himself by copying type,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Out of his recollections of the "Iliad"
he constructed kind Of play composed
Of scenes tackled together, with coup
lets Of his own, and this was acted by
his schoolfellows, the gardener being
cast for the part of Ajax.
Making verse composition has been
a pastime with Leo XIII. All his por-
traits represent him wearing a sunny
smile, and 1t was the same spirit that
animated most of his poetry.
1t was two years later than the time
when he wrote his ode on death that
he wrote long poem on diet, in which
he reproved gluttony. 1t contained not
less than eighty stanzas, and here is a
free prose transla ton Of a few of them:
