HOW CAST IRON GROWS.
Gas In the Material Is Cause of Sup
posed Phenomenon.


posed Phenomenon.
The fact that iron does grow has
been investigated by a writer in the
Journal of the Franklin Institute who
has known iron to grow as much as
35 per cent in the course of repeated
heatings.
In explaining this growth, he as.
sumes that cast-iron has many minute
cavities which are filled with a mix.
ture of gases. When the iron is highly
heated these gases naturally expand
and cause the iron, which Is then com.
Daratively soft, to stretch: in cooling,
the iron hardens again, but the very
high pressure of the enclosed gases
prevents the iron from contracting to
its former dimensions. With every
renewed heating the process is repeat.
ed and at each cooling the pressure OF
the enclosed gases becomes less and
less as the cavities increase in size.
But there is a limit to this action of
the gases, and this is reached when
the cavities become so large that the
pressure of the enclosed gases is not
sufficient to overcome the resistance
offered by the softened iron; when this
point is arrived at the iron ceases to
grow.

completed his report for the month OF
April, showing the grain receipts at the

deliveries.
Although Tacoma was not the banner
depot during the month of April, It still
retains the name Of being the greatest
grain market in Washington.
The following statement shows the
amount of grain received at Tacoma, So
attic and Spokane from September !, l905,
to April 30, 1904:
Tacoma Wheat, 4,6l7,7l0 bushels; oats,

Martin Matson, longshoreman, was
struck by street car near the Commercial
dock bridge at 3 o clock this afternoon
and badly hurt. He was waiting for an
up-bound car and did not see a car com
ing from the opposite direction until too
late to get out of the way. He was thrown
a considerable distance and received some
bad cuts on the head. He was taken to
the Fannie Paddock hospital
About the same time a man was injured
by falling off street car at Jefferson
avenue and Commerce street. An ambu-
lance call was sent in. but before the
ambulance could reach the spot, friends
had taken the injured man away in an
express wagon. His name was not learned.
Caleb Berg a messenger employed at the
Western Union telegraph Office was
badly bruised and hurt internally by be-
ing tErSWn off a car at Thirteenth and G

In this party are four men, three women
and two children. The baby is called
Shiko, which is japanese for chrysanthe-
mum, and she is just two years old. Of
course, she is the pet of the village, and
women visiting declare her "a darling"
She sits cross-legged all day smiling at
everyone who notices her. The other child
is girl, too. but five years old.
The women are hideous Nature has not
provided them with beard, Now they
consider this oversight very thoughtless
and unkind of nature, so they do all they
can to remedy it.
When an Ano girl is three years old,
her parents tattoo little spot on her
upper lip. Every few weeks they add
to this, until by the time she is of a mar
riageable age--l5-she has a tattooed mus
tach and beard They use blue ink for the
process. To the eye of the Aino youth,
the more blue ink and the heavier the imi-
tation beard the more beautiful is the
girl. They tattoo the girls hands also.
The men do not need it, for their hands,
chests and arms are overgrown with hair.

There have been trials that challenged
the attention Of the entire country be-

charged or the sensational details. Never,
though, has a more dramatic spectacle been
presented than is the trial of James N.
Tyner, former attorney general of the post
office department.
Guiteau was tried and convicted in the
bare, dismal room where the government
arraigns offenders.
The Star Route trials occurred there. 1t

were arraigned, and one of them went to
jail for refusing to disclose the sugar spec
ulations engaged in by senator's.

fair was thrashed out in the old court of

SEATTLE, May l0.-It was a sick look
ing bunch of Tigers that walked out OF
the pasture at the close of the last game
of the series here yesterday. Although
they made beginning that promised well,
luck was against the Tigers, while big
punches of it came Seattle's way.
The Tigers held their own fairly well
up to the end of the fourth inning, with
the score and ?. After that they went
to pieces. The Siwashes touched st. Vrain
up for IA hits. St Vrain had them going
until the fifth inning, but three safe hits,
made by Van Haltren Frisk and Smith
one base on balls, bad throw by Eagan
and an error by Nordy1e in tht inning
gave Seattle four scores, and then it was
all off with Tacoma.
The Tigers were not able to connect
again until the eighth, when Hannivan
opened with a drive over second for one,
Nordyke drew pass and Eagan sent the
ball over third base. Hannivan reached
third, but Eagan was headed off before he
reached first. A grounder by Lynch gave
Hannivan a chance to cross the home plate
scoring TacOma's third and last run. The

ly-cropped mustache and bristling hair give

ly-cropped mustache and bristling hair give
him a striking appearance.
When he tries to speak it is in hoarse,
rumbling tones. The old fellow, like lion
stricken, rouses himself at intervals and
tries to sit up as he listens to testimony
or the talk of lawyers.
But the effort is too great and he sinks
back again. Then he gets caution from
his physician. Kindly ministrations by his
wife, who sits beside him, are constant
and gentle as a benedicton.
Her face is marked with lines of care
and her suffering is keen enough and plain
enough, but she struggles bravely to hide
it all from the old man.
Assuming cheerful manner, she whis-
pers words of cheer to her husband. She
smooths his brow, or tenderly holds his
hand. That he be comfortable as possible
is her constant concern.
A smile expresses his appreciation. "For
better or for worse" the minister said
when they were welded long years ago
That was in Grants time when Tyner was
postmaster general and his wife a clerl,
in the department.
1t all seemed "for better" then. Now
in the twilight of life they are in
criminal court. True to her vow his wife
is at his side just as in the bright days
Like ministering angel she comforts
him while the heavy hand of the govern
ment that he has served for nearly so year
is raised against him and life seems blacl
and desolate
Her devotion helps the rugged spirit o
the old man to assert itself. Tie tries t.
throw off his helplessness and to speal
with a strong voice.

CITY WANTS
THE MONEY

At 10 o'clock this morning the sinking
fund commission, which is composed of
Mayor Wright, President of the City
Council E. A. Roice, City Controller L. G.
Jackson and City Treasurer c. d. Atkins,
held meeting in the controllers Office
and discussed the condition of the city 5
finances
The attention of the commission was
called to the conduct of County Treasurer
Reed. who refuses to honor the $4,000
warrant which City Treasurer Atkins has
presented for payment at the county trea-
surer's office for the past two weeks. The
commission. after discussing the situation
thoroughly, decided to refer the matter to
the city attorney. O. G. Ellis.
There is about $50, 900 in the sinking
fund awaiting investment. and if the city
could collect the $4,000 school warrant
and add the proceeds to the fund the city
would have neat sum to invest in bonds.
