WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with a Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be- fore the mast, had worked in the chemical department of mill and had lectured upon nltrous-oxide gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for a pistol It was not considered particularly valuable un. til after his first company that made i. had failed and fights in Texas and witt the Seminoles in Florida proved it's worth. The Mexican war made . de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did so much for early ax-making developed details In revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense. and he was the first to lay 2 submarine electric cable. One day a young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent
 "Im a machinist, a toolmaker and a diesinker and I can play a horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac- tory, and by another invention saved the company s50,000 on contracts al- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron. steel and copper. An example of his in- ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from a single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such 8 scheme was im- possible.

Priest and Donkey.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some 20 years ago, he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him, and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scofang at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impotence, saying: 'I am informed that in Mada- gascar, whenever they hang priest. they hang donkey along with him."
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley, looking at him mildly, said: Well, let us both be thankful. my young friend. that we are not in Madagas- ca-"

DISSATISFACTION IN BEEF REPORT

It is natural that there should he a
pronounced degree Of dissatisfaction
among the people in general over the
report made by Commissioner Garfield
with reference to the operations of the
beef trust. Consumers of meat products
have been paying an enormously increas-
ed price for beef and other meats for
considerable period, while stock raiscrs
have continued to complain of the OK
actions of the beef combination IN forcing
prices of live stock down to the lowest
possible point. AS a result Of this condi-
ton of affairs the public hailed with de-
light the action of Congress in calling for
an investigation OF the beef trust, and it
was generally supposed that the result
would be material relief from the arbi-
combinations. When the commissioner re-
ported that as a result of careful in
CURRY the discovery had been made that
the packers were not receiving cxOrbita mt
profits, but on the contrary were in many
instances enjoying only very small per
cent. of profit. many people hailed the re-
trust.
1t appears. however, that the work of
Investigating the operations Of the beef
trust is not completed as yet. Commits
sioner Garfield was instructed to gather
facts and figures merely and not to in
quire concerning the methods employed
thus putting the combine IN Il position
to fix prices where it desired.
The law department of the general gov
crnment is continuing its investigation
regardless of the report made by Com
missioner Garfield to the President and
transmitted to Congress. The grand jury
investigation at Chicago has brought out
some interesting facts in relation to the
manner in which the beef trust has
operated and it will not cease its in
quiry until the entire field has been
covered.
! The object of the legal investigation
is to ascertain whether or not the beef
| trust has violated the Sherman act and
when the grand jury has completed it's
work the government will be in posses
sion of information which will tend to
show whether or not the beef trust is
| rightly called.
! If the law has been violated. the pub
| lie is assured that criminal prosecution,
will follow. and it will manifestly require
a much longer period to secure the evi.
dence necessary for a prosecution than
the comparatively short time occupied by
the bureau of corporations in obtaining
the figures in relation to prices charged
by the trust

arrival of the second Baltic feet before
this Junction can be formed.
