ART OF PlckLlNG STEEL.

Process First Tried in This Country
at williamsburg Bridge.
The picking of structural steel was
probably first done in this country in
connection with the steel flooring Of
the williamsburg bridge in New York
city. The specifications for the
twelve-inch channels on which the
paving blocks are carried required
them to be- cleaned and painted with
pure linseed oil while still hot from
the rolls.
When it came time to execute the
work these specifications we're
changed so as to permit the metal
to be cleaned in picking baths, which
has long been done to a considerable
extent in Europe. In the case of the
channels for the williamsburg bridge
the shapes we're first boiled in q IL
per cent solution OF; caustic soda to
take off grease, and were then rinsed
in boiling water. Afterward they
were dipped into boiling 10 per cent
solution of sulphuric acid until all the
oxide was removed
After being rinsed in boiling water
they were dipped into a boiling 10
per cent solution Of carbonate of soda
to free them from any trace of acid.
Finally they were rinsed in boiling
water, dried over steam pipes and
then treated by the Sabin process of
enameling.-Engineering Record.

this tenor until he drove into his
own stable yard and threw the reins
to his man.
A fine grove of frs at the east end
of his place was bordered by lane
high hedged with holly. On the other
side stretched the level pasture lands
that belonged to Pansy's mother.
The lane wound it's way to the sea-
shore, and Jack was often seen there
in the days that followed with a trio
Of dogs frolicking after him.
1t was remarkable how often he
took those dogs for exercise and a
bath since the day that the maid
said Pansy was not in and he heard
the ape laughing in her drawing room.
Usually he kept an eye cooked over
the Arkwright hedge-one had to be
pretty tall for that-in the hopes Of
seeing her, for it was in that field
she sauntered now and then, when the
COWS were feeding somewhere else.

would have saved Pansy big fright,
but their engagement would not have
been announced so soon.

you read a little way, and the details

the world.
Still, Tom Morleigh was far from
thinking that Pansy was as good as
his, although he had reached her heart
as he thought a long way.
Like most of his gender in such
cases, he reveled for a while in the
placid belief that when the time came
she would be his for the asking. The
shock of disillusion came when he
offered his hand.
Her prompt rejection gave him =
new point Of view in regard to women,
but it did not hint for a moment that
the cause was lost
Its the old story" he told himself,
Il was too sure" The incident stirred
his sporting blood and made him re-
solve to win her by playing stronger
game.
In due season there came second
proposal, and a third came in quick
order. Each met with definite neg
ative.
Upon the second sally, Pansy be-
slowed a charitable smile and re-
marked, "P}ease, Jack, don't be silly"
The next time he tried it she was
not so patient. You seem determined
to spoil our summer she said, as
though she were accusing him of a
black conspiracy. Really, if you per-
sist: there is nothing for mamma and
l but to go abroad at once. Have you
any idea how rude You are?"
One of the tasks a man soon tires OF
is fruitless proposing. Romance and
reality have known many noble ex-
ceptions.
Morleigh was not cut out for a seat
in their hall of tame. He answered
her last question too brusquely, Of
course, but love and hate are ever
waiting upon one another.
Have you any idea what a heart
less firt you are?" were his words 1t

took it copiously, making the while a

Despite the new eyes with which he
had begun to survey womankind, the
outlook seemed serious, even hopeless.

course, when he opened the gate and
let ia the CATTLE; bat the COWS saw
Pansy and straightway approached to
make her acquaintance.
This happened at about the moment
that Pansy heard the bark of Jacks
dogs, and knew that the master was
near at hand
The gray noses and switching tails
came nearer and nearer and she
pressed closer to the hedge, moving
along with the noisy dogs on the other
side. She could see him now and
again through a narrow opening in
the hedge, and it was good to know
that he was there.
Presently one of the bold Jerseys
was walking beside her and her tail
almost brushed her back. This was
her cue to call for help, even upon
man who had bored her with his silly
proposals.
Jack" she cried. q
He started and caught a glimpse of
her blue skirts between the hedge
riffs.
'Jack!" came her voice again. Il
ami am at; home to-day. Won't you
look in-jump mover the hedge
quick-fve something to tell you."
It was an impossible leap, but there
are more things than locksmiths that
love laughs at. One is holly hedge
when the man is determined and is
not afraid of torn clothes and
scratched face.
The dogs managed to dash through
with him, .pell-mell, and had fine
chase after the Jersey, who. took ito
her heels at this rude interruption of
her friendly tete-a-tete with the maid.
Somehow their engagement was un-
derstood from that moment, and he
did not have to bore her by proposing.

the way Pansy carried on at the out

and golden opportunity.-Chicago
