Iron Among the savages.
(From Modern Machinery.

When Capt. Cook sailed into the
South Seas he was amazed at the avid
ity with which the natives grasped at
iron. A nail bought good-sized pig.
and on one occasion he purchased 400
pounds of fish with few old knives
improvised from an old hoop.
In exchange for iron tools he could
have brought away anything on the
islands. In fact, scraps of iron were as
useful in paying for food as gold coin is
to-day in America.
Any one of the natives who Was so
fortunate as to obtain a nail became at
once man of power and took on the
airs of capitalist.
An old chief In possession of two
nails made an excellent income in the
things he needed by renting them out
for the purpose of boring holes. which
made methods with which they had
been satisfied seem tedious
The gouge or tool used by them for
drilling hole was made of bone from
the human arm. Their knife was a
shell. or q bit of flint or jasper. A
sharks tooth fixed to a piece of wood
served as an auger, a piece of coral
was a file, and their saw was made Of
fish's teeth fixed on the convex edge of
piece of wood. Their stone tools were
laborious work. They were fashioned
by rubbing one stone upon another, un-
til brought to the required shape, but
they soon became blunted. The delight
OF these people over a piece of iron
which was capable Of taking a sharp
edge and keeping II was dramatic. The
possession of iron represented to them
power, efficiency and wealth. Tho the
metal was one of the most universally
diffused of minerals, 1t was one of the
last to come into use.
This is accounted for on the ground
that 1t never appears in It's natural STATE,
except in meteorites. To recognize its
ores and to separate its metal from the
matrix demanded the exercise of OBJ
servation and invention which had no.
yet been developed.

PRESIDENT MAKING.
Continued from psre a.,

were always cast in the main against
Mr.. Bryan. To their hostile attitude
is attributed the poor showing Bryan
made at the 1896 and 1900 elections in
those cities. m
These and other Democrats in the
North are now talking up the Culber-
son nomination. He is not very well
known outside of the South, altho, be-
yond question, he is one of, the most
upright men in public life and likewise
very capable. Just past SO years old,
he has had long and creditable career,
and as Attorney-Gene and then Gov
error of Texas stood for the same char
acter of legislation, originated and put
in force anti-corporation measures, OF
practically the same character that
President Roosevelt has been support
ing. Because of his modesty Mr.. Cul-
berson has not been as prominent in
the Senate as he should have been, but
has frequently demonstrated there that
he has capacity for National affairs. He
Is Democrat of the old Southern
school. but likewise radical in his views
of corporation control The two chief
objections that could be made to him
would be that he is Southern man
and that he Is not sufficiently well
known The scrutiny of Mr.. Culber-
sons career would elevate him in the
public esteem. for he did great work
as legislative pioneer in Texas, which
was never exploited at all in the North
and which therefore received little or
no attention.
Democrats here generally believe that
Bryan will receive the next nomination,
but they are not unmindful of Senator
Culberson's dignity and high character
If the precedents of the last half CEN
tury against the nomination of a South
ern man for the Presidency are to be
broken, there is probably no Democrat
who stands a better chance to be the
nominee than Mr.. Culberson. Neither
the conservative nor the radical Demo-
Gratis would oppose him. His father,
the late David 3. Culberson, was dis
tinguished figure in Congressional life,
and for % years was a member of the
National House.
