WONDERFUL ACT.
 ING ELEPHANTS.
Two Herds of Them With the Gentry
 Brothers Famous Shows.

Although the great Gentry shows have number of new features thls rear. som eof which are not to be equaled by any other tented exhlbl- lion. they still retain their wonderful troupe of performing elephants, who, by the way, will be seen this sea- son in an entirely new act, entitled Fighting the Enemy This act IS the only animal performance which was ever copied by these expert trainers, who have always been the originators of all the great animal acts. Last winter, however, at the New York Hippodrome there appear ed an elephant act which surpassed neery way anything ever before seen in America It was imported di- rect from India, where elephants come from and in the vernacular of the street it was a "peach. Per mission was gained by the Messrs Gentry and the act has been repro. duced exactly as it appeared for two hundred consecutive nights at New Forks greatest arena. Seven ele rhants participate in fighting the enemy. the act being a panoramic display which one, not familiar with elephants and their work, would nev CT deem possible. It is sure to create a senscation in this city when the Gentry shows txhibit here on Wednes day, March 29.

Modern Methods In Shaft Sinking.

From Mines and Minerals
A few years ago there would have been
no benefit in using large engines during
sinking, az the progress of the work at the
bottom of the shaft was SO slow that the
debris could easily be wound by seif-con-
tanned engines, with a drum of three or
four feet in diameter. But now that the
sinking progresses more quickly it essential
to wind rapidly. OF course safety must
not be overlooked, 1t is certain to be
serious matter IL anything happens to the
bucket while 1t Is in the shaft or when II
is being unoaded at the top. By means or
the ropes and rider the bucket Is steadied
during its journey, and passes up and down
the shaft at q rapid rate more safely than
was formerly possible at a slow wind. BY
using folding doors many dangers during
banking are avoided, as the pit top Is COM
pletely closed down during the greater part
of the time. 1t will thus be seen that al
though the use of the large engines may at
one time have been of doubtful advantage
there is no reason for d)ubting their ad-
yantages whenever the winding arrange
ments described are installed.
Other important additions to the winding
arrangements are safely detachfng hooks
and locked-coil winding ropes.
The locked-coil rope is an excellent one to
use for winding of any kind, but 1t is es-
pecially suitable for sinking, and few col
liery managers who have once used this
type of rope will care to adopt any other
form in subsequent sinkings.

On the Mount.

From Harper's Weekly.
The newest batch of recruits from the IN
FAINT class in q Sunday school in a Michl-
gan town seemed hopelessly incapable of
remembering the simplest question in the
quarterly" Among other theological prob
lens about which they were extremely hazy
was the question of the personnel of the dis
cples accompanying the Savior when He
assembled the mountain. In order to sharpen
their wits. the teacher tried the "aid-to-
memory" game. A well-known and highly
respected local citizen had three stalwart
sons bearing the requisite apostolic names.
So the teacher said, brightly Now, boys
II you just thing of the names of the three
older Danhof boys-remember. now, the
three older ones-you can't forget the names
of the disciples
On review day the urbane superintend-
ent quizzed each class In turn. At last
came the query: Can Miss Lewis class
tell US what disciples were with Christ on
the mountain" The answer was a unani-
nous response: "All the Danhof boys but
Hank!"

How Dalmatian Peasants Live.
the Southern Workman

From the Southern Workman.
In the interior of Dalmatia the laborers
still live in the old patriarchal fashion.
The eldest male rules the household as
might some czar; in fact, 1t is not so many
years since he had life and death power
over it's inmates. When a son weds he
brings his wife to his fathers house, that
the property may remain in the family.
There, while he works in the fleld-for
they are peasant farmers. working lands
held by hereditary proprletors, almost as
might the serfs of Russia-she tends the
dwelling When his guests come she sends
out not only for him, but for the patriarch,
since he alone can really welcome a visitor
and he keeps the keys to the shelf where
is stored the gin in which toast is offered
TO friendship.

Less Demand but Evidence of Much
Strength.

The Iron Trade Review says:
while the demand for pig iron and some
finished products Is not active as II was
q few weeks ago. evidence OF much strength
in the market - not lacking. In estimat-
ing the real strength OF the situation, con-
sideration Of the heavy specifications which
have been received Is important. The speci-
fications for steel products in western mills
for the past seven weeks have been - per
cent above the average weekly specifiea-
tons for 1906. and orders at these mills now
amount to about $1,000 tons for rolling a,
the earliest possible date.
While the general report from structural
mills Is that they are not catching up on
their orders. one important independent In
terest which has refused to take orders dur
ing the winter Is able to give prompt ship
ment and Is again soliciting business.
The United States Steel Corporation hav-
ing decided not to exercise Its option on
900 tons of Bessemer pig iron FOR iirs,
quarter delivery. that tonnage will be avail
able for other buyers. who will no doubt
promptly avail themselves of the option.

BARGAIN FOR COMMISSION.
Less Paid for Rails and Locomotives
Than Railways Are Charged.

The selling price of steel rails abroad and
for use in the United States was one of
the subjects on which David w. Ross,
purchasing agent of the isthmian canal
commission. was examined today by the
Senate committee on intcroceanic canals.
He showed that he had purchased from
American mills rails for use on the isthmus
at from $50 to $50 a ton less than the
prevailing price to railroads in this coun-
try.
In reply to inquiries by Senator Taliafer-
70 the witness said that railroads of the
United States were familiar with the diff
ference In cost and were satisfied with ex-
isting conditions In order to hold the bal
ance OF trade in the country.
You mean that In order to bring foreign
trade to the United States railroads are
willing TO pay more for steel than con-
Germs abroad have to pay for the product
of the same mills?' asked the Senator
Mr.. Ross said that was his understa nd
Ing and Senator Taliaferro remarked doubt
iugly. THE railroads seem to be very un-
selfish about It,"
The witness was examined at length con-
corning the purchase of locomotives and
flat cars. on locomotives three bids were
received. The Lima, Ohio, works bid 50. $50.
the American Locomotive works, Sill 100
and the Baldwin Locomotive Works Sf2-
900. The contract was let to the Ameri-
can Locomotive Works for tho reason that
tile lana CNmpinyS engine did not con-
form to specifications and Chief Engineer
stevens said II was not adapted to the
needs on the isthmus. Mr.. Ross said that
the competition was keen and the price
paid for engines was less than that paid by
American railroads
Senator Morgan took up the subject of
coal tests and Mr.. Ross put into the rec
ords several reports that were made CON
corning the steaming qualities of the vari-
Gus kinds of coal that had been used on
the Isthmus The committee adjourned 10

Training Both Hands.

From Harper's Weekly.
An interesting discussion is being carried
on in England In connection with the ques-
ton OF ambidexterity, there being certain
number OF physicians and psychologists
who are recommending that the child
should be taught to use the left as well as
the right hand and with equal facility
There are, however those who advise that
the left hand should be used only for left
handed motion, inasmuch as 1t Is not an
exact copy of the right. and must possess
corresponding limitations. While the adj
vaneed ambidextrists believe that In addi-
ton to its ordinary duties the left hand
should be taught to copy the movements OF
the right such as In ordinary writing, the
moderate advocates think that, recognizing
its limitations, the left hand should be made
TO do on the left side similar things. These,
of course, would be done by movements in
the reverse direction, and. therefore, IL abb
solute ambidexterfty were required, as In
turning screw or in writing. screw with
reversed thread should be used and re-
versed form Of writing devised.

Coal Testing.

From Mines and Minerals
The residue remaining after any subs, ance
has been reduced by the action of fire Il
termed lash" Coal ash generally repre-
sents the incombustible portion of the coal
The ash of any coal consists of the ash
content of the vegetable matter from which
the coal has formed, plus the rocky matter
received from the neighboring strata which
cover and underlie the coal in stu.
The constitution of coal ash in different
Goals varies considerably. The chief con-
stituents Of coal and coke ash are silica,
alumina. lime, iron. sulphur and magnesia.
Iron exists chiefly In the form of iron py-
rites and this constituent If present in ash
in any marked quantity is most objection
able The percentage of ash In coal varies
very much and may be as low as per cent
or reach over 80 per cent.
