PATENT STEEL TEMPERlNe,
slaeksmiths of Republic Are Inventors
of the System.


Weston & Graham, a blacksmithing
firm of Republic, Wash, claim TO have
developed process for tempering
steel likely to surpass anything of the
kind ever before brought to light.
The process consists of the use of
certain chemicals in water or oil in
the tempering vessel but what those
chemicals are is the firms secret. 1t
is claimed that by their use any kind
OF tool from a blunt hammer head
TO keen edged razor can be tempered
to a perfection never before realized.
In a correspondents presence Mr.
Graham with an ak tempered by this
new process. cut several big gashes in
cold bar of steel without dulling the
edge. Such a blow as was dealt at
the bar with any other kind of tenn
pering would have broken a big gap
in the blade of the ak, if it did not
destroy it for all further use.
Mr.. Graham says he thinks the pro-
cess is as perfect as it ever can be.
John Nieber took set of 81 drills
with him to the south half which had
been sharpened and tempered by the
process and used them 40 days in driv-
ing the tunnel on the Wasco mine,
through the hardest kind of rock, with
out the need of resharpening.

Japanese Greyhounds Caught up to

NoVik Sunk the Tsushima-Japa
Suffered No Casualties-Fate of
Novik's Crew Unknown.

Toxic, Aug. 22.--After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima, the greyhounds
of the Japanese navy, the fleet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been vanduish
ed. The fight occurred today After
1t, the Novik, in a sinking condition,
was run ashore in Korsakovsk harbor,
on the island of Sakhalien.
The details of this sea fight are not
known here, but 1t is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught I'D with
the Novik and that running fight
ensued.
Captain Sukeichiro Takahashi, who
is in command of the Chitose, reports
the engagement in brief telegram.
He says he first attacked the Russian
cruiser Saturday afternoon, and that
on Sunday morning he inflicted heavy
damage upon her. The Novik nearly
sank, but she was beached at Korsak-
ovsk
shell from the Novik struck the
Tsushima in bunker Temporary re-
pairs, however, rendered the Japanese
cruiser seaworthy and she continued
to fight
The Japanese suffered no casualties.
The imperial prince, Yorihito of the
house of Higashi Fushima, is second
in command on board the Chitose. Cap
tain Sento commanded the Tsushima.
Korksakovsk is port on the south

east of Vladivostok.
Fate of Crew Not Known.
The fate of the crew of the Novik
is not known, but it Is thought they
abandoned their vessel and landed at
KorsakOvsk.
The news of the destruction of the
Novik has been received in curious
manner by the Japanese public. From
a practical standpoint it is highly sat
isfactory, for the Novik could have
been most dangerous as a commerce
destroyer; but, considering the matter
from a sentimental standpoint, much
regret is expressed at the loss. The
Novik has been splendidly handled
and bravely fought throughout the
war, and the Japanese naval officers
and the public generally have fire.

Scarlet fever is practically unknown
In Japan. Typhoid fever is more fire.
quent than in Europe. consumption
less SO.
The sacred shines Of Japan, taken
as a whole. are probably their coun-
try's most attractive architectural fea.
ture. Many Of them are very ancient
and are valuable as illustrations Of
Japan's art in the past.
The area Of Japan is about seven
tenths of that Of the German empire.
More than one-half of the inhabitants
live in towns of from 1000 to 5000
persons, of which there are 8.008. For
every 1000 men there are only 9S3
women.
One Of the causes Of Japan's success
in war is her thorough knowledge of
explosives and their behavior under a
variety of conditions. The Lancet de-
clares that the Japanese chemist unites
the power of originality of the English
chemist with the practical intuition OF
the German. At tho University of
Toxic practical study is much favored,
and splendid facilities for work are
provided in the laboratories and work,
shops.
