the American miner looking down on

A New Kind o; Steel.

Samuel Maxim, a brother of the
Maxim of rapid fire gun fame, has
made a discovery in a process for
producing steel which has remark.
able qualities. Mr. Maxim is a farm
er who lives in Maine. For some time
he has been experimenting with vari-
Gus methods for making blades which
will vie with the Damascus blade of
immortal fame.
After reading some old Hindoo
books he constructed a forge on the
Indian plan, and from this produced
an ingot which he forged into
rough drill. This drill bored an iron
file as easily as If it had been a piece
of wood. Tried with scale of metals
gradually increasing in hardness, this
drill penetrated them all, not stopping
at the best steel obtainable In case
this steel should prove to be like that
of the ancients it will open a vast
field OF possibilities.

TIMBER LANDS OF MEXICO.
Immensely Valuable Tracts Still

Immensely Valuable Tracts Still
Standing In That Country.
The depletion Of forests in the
United States is the cause for the re-
cent attention which has been given
to timber lands in Mexico. This
country has vast tracts Of valuable
timber which only await the advent
Of the railroads to make them OF
enormous commercial value. In the
southern part of the republic the hard
woods, such as mahogany, ebony and
cedar, have long been exploited and
the supply is growing very limited
within the access OF transportation
facilities. Large forests Of such tim.
Der still exist, however, in the more
remote sections. In the central and
northern parts Of the republic there
are large tracts of soft pine, oak and
miscellaneous varieties, especially on
the western slope Of the central
mountain range, where there are as
yet almost no transportation facili-
ties, and along wide strip Of land
extending westward from the gulf

Meaning Of Orange Blossoms.

The orange tree is regarded as a
prince among trees, and the emblem
Of genius. A popularity OF this tree
is that it bears fruit and flowers at
the same time. Its leaves are ever
green, and as 1t grows older 1t grows
in beauty and fruitfulness. It blossoms
filling the air with their fragrance.
1t is indeed a At emblem OF marriage
promise and hopes. The orange tree
is considered typical of love. because,
though its fruit is golden and its flavor
and scent delicious, its rind is bitter,
and, as every one knows who has ex.
perienced it, Cupid's dart causes pain.
The orange is emblematic OF gratitude
as well as Of genius and love.-PhHa

WHY THE SALVATION ARMY"
Name Of Great Organization a Matter
of Chance.

In note upon the origin OF the
Salvation army the following account
OF the selection of the title is given
by London Opinion: William Booth
the younger one day wrote at his
fathers dictation the words The
Christian mission is voluntary
army" Suddenly Mr.. Booth leaned
over his sons shoulder and substi-
tuted the word salvation" for vol
untary." Thus was the Salvation
army born. And the addition of the
various military titles followed nat.
urally, though curiously enough that
of captain was originally intended to
be nautical, in order to please the
Whitby fishermen. AS for Mr.. Booths
title Of general, the credit for 1t be-
longs to Capt Cadman, who one day
announced him at meeting as the
general of the Salvation army, and
that has stuck to him ever since.

Making Use Of Rsdium.

An instrument lately devised by H.
J. Strut makes ingenious use OF the
emanations of radium. An electro
scope with dividing leaves is sealed
up in vacuum tube along with
speck of radium. The inner sides OF
the vacuum tube are partially coated
with tinfoil, which communicates by
wire fused in the glass with the
earth" outside. Thus, II the cleo
troscope be charged with positive
electricity, its leaves, expanding, VIII
touch the tinfoil surface; will be dis
charged and will fall together again.
But the spark of radium which is al
ways discharging negative IONS
through the glass walls of the vacu-
um tube is, in consequence, continu-
ally creating and maintaining an at
mosphere of positive electricity
within the tube. and therefore as
often as the electroscope is dis
charged recharges it. Thus the leaves
of the electroscope ceaselessly expand
and fall together again. The instru'
ment has been variously called
radium clock and a perpetual motor.
Both descriptions are wanting in ac'
curacy for there Is reason to believe
that the instrument will not go on
working forever, but only during the
10000 or 10000 years of the radium's
life; and there is no guarantee that
it will go on working with chrome
logical accuracy. Still, it is the near
est approach to perpetual motion
that has ever been artificially at.
