car; the walk home; the putting on
OF the borrowed mourning by the
widow" and the arrival of the let
ter containing the papers granting n
pension to Mr.. Stubbins, and a check
for $500 for arrears. The arrival of
Lovey Mary and Little Tommy, the

vast, and we do not understand Profes-
sor NEwcoMB to deny the possibility Of
some kind Of physical telepathy.
The second fact asserted is that
phantasmal or hallucinativo appari-
tions of dying persons occur to friends
at a distance with greater frequency
than a supposition OF chance coinci-
dence can explain. Mr.. GURNEY ad-
vanced this some time ago on the
strength OF an inquiry which included
5000 persons. Sir OLIVER remarks that
the number was insufficient to prove the
point, but he accepts II as proved on
the strength of a subsequent inquiry
Of the Society for Psychical Research
which included 1900 persons. We sus-
pect that most people will desire an
inquiry wider still.
Sir OLIVER says nothing on this occa-
sion about intercourse with the dead,
because Professor NEwcoNB does not
tackle him on that point. We recon-
mend it to the professor as an attrac-
tive opening il he oontemplates a re-
joinder. 1t might afford several pleas
ant opportunities Of pinning Sir OLIVER
down in rather awkward postures to
his exact words.

So dear and unforgettable is that voice
Of lightning and molasses, the unri-

flame before us. "A modest little light

THE RIGHTS or WOMEN.
A Working Girls Reply TO an Anti
Suffrage Argument.

To THB EDITION OF TIE SUN-Sir: Mrs
stuyvesant Fish inadvertently makes a
strong argument for woman suffrage by
saying that women have always msved
and ever should move in q higher sphere
and deal with better and more lasting things
than the election OF this one or that other. :"
This sounds fine and very familiar. II 1t
Is true. as the opponents OF woman suffrage
assert. that women are 50 superior and move
on plane so much higher than that of men
then they certainly ought to have the ballot.
There is room for Improvement in its use.
One OF the main points raised by the
sufiragettes, continues Mrs. Fish. lis that
woman has no control over her own prop
erty. However that may have been years
ago. such Is not the case here in New York
and generally throug ghout the United states. "
No. and 1t Is very good thing It isn't.
As large property owner Mrs. Fish can
appreciate the reasonableness OF this right. "
She Is doubtless aware that her right to dis
pose OF her property as she sees 1T Is due to
pioneer sufragists.
Another argument for tho suffrage is
that women would get better salaries and
that whore they do mems work they should
receive mems pay, Equally efficient labor
entitled 10 equal wages, but Is u possible
Tor women 10 do the same work as men,
day In and day out, In good weather and In
foul. thIoushout the year, Surely not. says
Mrs. Fish. When women ask equal pay for
equal york they usually have In mind the
same kind OF work. A waitress doesn' I
expect TO receive the same salary as Caruso. .
Women teachers believe, though. that they
should receive the same salary as men teach
ers, ,Salsswomen do not ask for the same
many hour. every days fhsr R'S SSonten,iSs stsaa On
10 that they should receive the same salary
as the men who sell goods and who are
sometimes paid three times as much.
Go read history" excIaims Mrs. Fish,
and see what women have done in the past
enos over man. II women only would
then how their sons have been taken for
cannon food by tyrants who made war for
political ends under the false plea OF patriot
Ism, They would see that In women had
possessed the ballot and a know ledge OF
politics they would have soon ended the
influence" that emanated from kings
hsreins and was the direct cause of the
French revolution.
History has preserved for us Madame
Recamier's beauty lotions. For this relief
much thanks, For Inspiration OF another
kind We can turn to the records OF De Stael
and Roland, exile and martyr. who II they
were living to-day would both be suifra-

degree aid In the better admin istration OF

The New Discovery In steel.

When not long ago Mr.. ANDREW
CARNEGIE gave evidence on the ques-
ton whether high duties are still needed
for the protection Of the American iron
and steel industry he testified that the
time had gone by when American iron
and steel makers had any cause to dread
foreign competition. Especially, he
said, might British rivalry in this field
be esteemed negligible.
Scarcely, however, had the month Of
February dawned when Professor AR
MOLD of Sheffield University aroused
curiosity if not alarm in engineering
circles on this side Of the Atlantic by
announcing that Mr.. CABNEGIR's proph-
ecy concerning the decadence of British
steel metallurgy had no basis except
in the imagination Of that gentleman,
He himself did not hesitate 10 declare
that so far as quality is concerned
Britain is still and will long continue
first in the race for supremacy. This
opinion he backed by predicting that in
q NtIN cllOit titiC DtSl lllkU bDCbn
steel now manufactured will be back
number. He made the forecast definite
by declaring that "a year hence there
will be on the market British steel with
quadruple cutting power of any now
known in metallurgy.'
1t was very soon made evident that
Professor ARNOLD knew what he was
talking about. Within a week the firm
of JONAS & CoLvER of the Continental
Works, Sheffield, after completing a
long series of experiments, placed on
the market a steel which has from three
to seven times the cutting power of ex-
sting high speed steel and which in
contradistinction to present material
can be hardened in water, oil or blast
1t seems to be indisputable that the steel
manufactured in this way is of four
times the efficiency of similar steel
made under the old conditions. Ac-
cording to Professor ARNOLD it is an
absolute departure in metallurgy to
have obtained water quenched steel
which will work considerable time on
the hardest material with the cutting
edge OF the tool at bright red glow.
OF course. it is impossible in these
days to keep for any great length of
time any highly improved process Of
manufacture a mystery, We may take
for granted that when the secret Of fab
rication leaks out the new kind of steel
will be made by every steel manufac-
turer in the United States as well az in
Great Britain. Meanwhile, however, it
is possible. in spite of CARNEGIE, that
American products might be interfered
with seriously in their own domestic
market by the importation Of the new
British commodity free Of duty.
