New Methods of Steel Making.

Manufacturing steel by new meth
cd has been successfully experimental
upon in Melbourne, Australia. New
Zealand magnetic iron sand is first sep
arated from its gangue by electro-mag-
netic separators, this treatment leaving
is then fed from bin into the furnace,
which is entirely novel in it's features,
being chiefly mechanical and automatic
in its operation. The ore drops from
the bin into a slowly revolving cylln-
der placed at such an angle that the
ore travels forward continuously in it.
AS 1t does so it is heated to dull red
by the waste gases from subsequent
operations. From this cylinder the ore
drops into a second revolving cylinder,
where the fine particles are subjected
to the action of reducing gases, which
bring the magnetic oxide of iron to
the metallic form, at the same time
permitting the particles to retain their
individuality. From this second cylin-
der the reduced ore drops into smelt-
ing bath at the bottom of the revolv-
ing cylinders, and the molten steel, or
the malleable iron, as the case may be,
is tapped from this whenever that
operation is necessary. Hence the pro-
cess is one of great simplicity and in
genuity. An interesting feature is the
use of fuel oil for heating purposes,
employed to secure concentration Of
heat and direct application in the fur
mace work 1t is found that the fuel
oil possesses many advantages over
producer gases used in existing smelt-
ing practice. The work demonstrates
that the oil is not only a cheap fuel,
but is also SO thoroughly under con-
troll as to insure the best service.

Public Schools in Guam.

Commander Luby, in charge of the
Chicago naval recruiting Office, has re-
ceived letter from Gov. Dyer of
Guam, announcing that public schools
soon will be opened in the island for
the education of 1900 native children.
The writer says he is experiencing
much trouble in finding school books
suitable to the needs of the work.
The governor asks for publishers
catalogues, and adds: UNLESS the
books have more or less local color
they practically are useless. AS con-
crete example, experience shows that
it is impossible to teach the natives OF
the Pacific tropics the meaning of the
seasons as we understand them in the
United States"

Djtching the Mosuuito.

II pool of water 100 by rs feet can
produce 100000 mosquitoes in ten
days, how many mosquitoes can be de-
prived of existence in one year by
100000 linear feet of bitches, which
drain 10000 acres of marsh land? asks
the Chicago Tribune. That is a prob
lem which the mosquito determination
commission of New Jel sey probably
considers one of pure mathematics,
and SO not within its function to solve
AT any rate, it does not give us the
statistics, but it does report at the
end of the open mosquito season Of
1904 that the 100000 feet of bitches
have been dug, and that in several
parts of the state great relief from the
pest has already been obtained. More
over, it assures the world that perma
nent relief can be secureu "in the sim
plest possible way" The testimony is
absolutely convincing, for when New
Jersey speaks about either mosquitoes
or trusts the world is forced to give
heed. OF the 80 or more species of the
mosquito family only three-the salt
marsh" the swamp marsh" and the
common house" species-have re-
ceived special attention from the ex-
terminators this year. The draining
of the marshes at the mouth of the
Shrewsbury river was so successful
that the adjacent country had an al
most mosquitoless summer. At New
ark the experimental draining finished
before the breeding season began was
SO successful that the common council
appropriated money enough to drain
all the surrounding marsh lands, and
next year the city expects to get the
full benefit. The salt marsh mosquito
is migratory, and sometimes flies to
considerable distances, so that all of
the coast marshes must be drained by
cooperative effort before any one COM
munity can be sure of complete free
house species are usually satisfied,
however, with the human food supplied
by the neighborhood in which they
were Matched, and as to these each
community can tend to it's own pest,
though rain barrels" and damp Gel
lars may have to be put under the
ban before the common house species
finally succumbs to social progress.

Woman's "Infuence.v

The increasing tendency toward the
employment of women in positions of
trust by financial institutions is thus ex-
planned by the president of one of the
largest banks in the country: The feel
ing is gaining ground that women are,
on the whole, more honest than men.
considerable number of women are
now rendering satisfactory service as
cashiers and tellers, handling large sums
daily without loss or error. One of the
most conspicuous traits in the feminine
nature is fidelity to trust. Speculation,
the chief pitfall of defaulting employees,
does not attract women as it does men.
Cards and drink also drag down many
a male employe, and these, again, are
more particularly masculine vices. Some
of the largest banks in New York are
employing women in positions of heavy
responsibility. Banking is an occupa-
ton in which men no longer have a mo-
nopoly." AS to the question whether
women are by nature more honest than
women have gained that reputation only
because they are subject to fewer temp
tations to steal than are men. But is this
the case? asks Robert Webster Jones in
the October Housekeeper. What occu-
patton offers more severe test of hon
esty than domestic service? 1t Is i'm
possible for mistress to lock up her
belongings from her servants, and op-
portunities for pilfering are numerous.
Yet stealing is comparatively rare. The
majority of business men are convinced
of woman's fidelity in responsible posi-
tions and her ability to discharge i'm
portant duties. Never were there such
opportunities for capable, energetic
women as at present await them in the
business world.

story, which indicates the remarkable
credence that is extended TO anything
of American origin: "a man entered
a restaurant in New York the other
day and ordered steak. AS the wait
er was about to take it from the win
dow a sudden flash of lightning struck
it. He Immediately put it on a plato
and handed 1t to the customer, who
found it done to a turn" If light

in the right place now and then it
would be quite help during the
short-order rush in New York restau-
rants.

The Value of Civic Beauty.

Some one may ask: But what differ
ence does it make whether a city, town
or village is beautiful or not? Many
answers might be given, says the Chau-
tauquan. One might point out the value
of culture, the stimulating and ennobling
influences of art, its Importance as an
educational medium and its effect in in
creasing the economic productiveness
of the laborer; but the person who would
ask such a question in this day will ap-
preciate but one answer: 1t pays.
There is competition between cities and
towns, just as surely as there is COMPETE
ton between business men. Every town
strives to attract to itself the wealthiest,
brainiest and most progressive men of
the country. Its future growth and in
fluence depend upon it's success in doing
so. If it offers superior advantages and
attractions, it succeeds. Now, one of
the determining factors is the ap-
pearance of the town itself. If 1t is beau
tiful men prefer it; If it is unsightly,
they go elsewhere, and with them go
their wealth, influence, business and
ability. - Civic art pays even more
directly. 1t is said that tourists annually
leave in Italy a sum of money equivalent
to the interest upon the whole national
debt. Many towns in Italy and Greece
would be desolate and forgotten to-day
"a Al.
pieces of art handed down from ages
long past. The thousands of Americans
who visit Paris every year go there
largely because Paris leads the world in
civic art, and the sums spent there play
no small part in the city's budget.

Editor Weedin's Mistake.

Editor Weed:n of the Florence Blade permits himself to be worked into a deplorable frenzy, because Brigadier General Fred C. Ainsworth, formerly of Prescott, was the other day ap- pointed to be the military secretary and a major general. ' Dock Aims worth" says the Blade, lis the honora- ble gentleman who. in order to elect himself president of the Thirteenth legislative council, signed a written agreement to give certain committee chairmanships to democrats; then, after he was elected, utterly repudiatSd d the agreement. That may be honest and honorable, as honor and honesty are rated in these times of political de- pravity, but we suspect that hades is full of that type of honesty and honor '
 The trouble with Col. Weedin is that his memory is playing him a treacher- ous trick Col. Weedin. we believe, was a memberof the celebrated "Thiev- ing Thirteenth legislature, but ccr- tainIy Fred C. Ainsworth was not a member of that legislature or any ether assembly of Arizona statesmen. No doubt Col Weedin will now forward proper apology to Major General Ainsworth.
 We infer that the esteemed Florence colonel was buncoed into helping to o1o,+ -o,-,o Lo--;1 raD,,l,Iic., I, ,,raSiIoD of the Thirteenth council, and that a coveted craftsmanship went to some body else? But even so, the mellowing influences of time long ago ought to have led Col. Weedin to become recon ciled to republican tricks.

The Inquirer, published .n the sleepy old town of Philadelphia. tises to remark that the really big town no longer considers noise as a necessary exhibit to demonstrate pro- sress and prosperity. But on the sub Sect of noise Philadelphia cannot be taken as an expert, very little of the article being known thereabouts.
