Of the great steel industry In America. The facts
arc practically as stated. the details Arc to Be found
In the history OF American steel, Kellys AR
boiling process" was used for making boiler plates
long before Hessemer was known. and his hrst
converter Of 1877 was long preserved at the Cambria
iron works at Johnstown. Pa. Kellyis claim TO
priority was fully argued before the Commissioner
Of Patents. who upheld the claim and Issued the
patent 10 Kelly as against Bessemer. And It was
not only q matter OF patents alone; Kelly turned
out steel al wyandotte. Mich. months before Hoi.
ley produced Bessemer steel OF Troy. These two
interests were consolidated In 1865 IS the Pneu-
matte steel Association. In 1sn the patent once
reissued the Kelly patent for seven years and denied
the application Of Bessemer and Mushet. Kelly
imported ten Chinese In 1854 as laborers. the be-
ginning Of coolie labor in the United states.

don, 1857 After Ward was killed At the head OF
his army his command was at nrst assumed pV the
Ouarermaster OF the force and In o short time by
Bursevlnc. Because OF his furious temper and
VIGOROUSLY bad habits he was displaced and had no
further association with the army. Az soon a.
relieved he went to Pekn and enlisted the good
crnces Of Arson Burilngame. American Minister
and Sir Thomas Wade. the British representative.
With this backing he secured from the palace q
sort of order to V1ceroy IA TO restore him to com
mand. That shrewd chinaman had no further
use for the adventurer and Burgevine went over
to the Tai ping rebels. Not satisfied with his treat
men, at their hands he went to Japan and there
remained several months. Returning to China
In violation Of his agreement he was arrested and
sent into the interior. Efforts were made BY for.
e,sners prominent In business to secure his release,
but In vain. In crossing ariver his boat was upset
and Burgevlne was rowned, but whether II was
an accident or one Of the phases Of Chinese ad

How and why does the sharpe Sirer from other

Ia defined As q long. sharp. nat bottomed sailboat
having q centreboard and one or two masts rigged
with triangular sails. such a statement Of the
essential features of build and rig should serve
TO indicate the particulars Of the difference between
the aharple and other boats. inc why Of the
difference lies In the fact that nothing allows Is
much scope for individual ideas as the small boat.
Every sailor Of such craft Is alert 10 take advantage
~ every wrinkle which may increase his comfort
and displays remarkable ingenuity In ~inventing
new devices which may increase tbs speed OF hS
boat. To this motive our small ~seananship owes
the sharpie, the bugeye and the periauger. all
boats Of practically the same type. but developing
independently from :he needs Of the dineren:
sounds and bays along the coast, This inventive
industry dates back to q time when the Eastern
,eaboard was tho home Of fishermen and sailors.
the nursery OF the men who manned the navy In
our one great naval war and won tho sea by q positive
genius In seamanship.
