| Poem That I las Stirred London


All London is talking about re-
Gently published poem by William
Watson, called 1.-THE Woman With the
serpent's Tongue, many people pro-
Tossing to be able to recognize the
one so named. She is said to be high
in literary society and great friend
Of King Edward, so great friend
that her word has much to do with
the selection of those upon whom royal
honors are to be conferred. A writer
to the New York Times says concern
ing the poem:
"In William Watson s. new book OF
poems, just published by John Lane,
is included one entitled "The Woman
With the serpent's Tongue which has
set all England talking. No name is
mentioned in the poem, but the name
of a very well known woman is on
every tongue.
"Mr.. Watson writes:
ttIn truthful numbers be she sung,
The woman witE the serpent s tongue,
Concerning whom Fame hints at things
Told but in shrugs and whisperings.
ssThen he proceeds to draw por-
trait il words keener than engravers
acids. Neither physically nor morally
is the subject spared. The poetic pre-
sentiment is of kind quite ,unparallel-
ed in modern literature and. in many
circles Mr.. Watson is being severely
condemned as having far exceeded the
bounds to which it is permissible
to go.
'tTo everybody coaversant with the
gossip of what goes on behind the
scenes in London life, the picture is a
Speaking likeness of a woman who,
perhaps more than any other in Eng
land below royalty, has occupied the
public attention from the days before
her marriage, when she was the leader
in select eoterie known as THE
Souls, to these later times when her
precipitatihg political crisis.
"Whether Mr.. Watson portrait is
true to life or is only envenomed carl
eature is a question holly debated.
Everybody who knows the lady who is
supposed to be the original acknowl-
edges that she has sharp tongue, and
it is surmised that the poet may have
experienced its keenness. Another sug-
gestion is that Mr.. Watson may
aseribe to this particular woman's in
fuence the fact that he has not been
the recipient of any of those titular
honors which are occasionally awarded
by the British government to poets of
more or less merit.
whether there is any more-or any
less-truth in these suggested explana-
tons than in the accusations which Mr..

The Making of a Needle

The story of needle making is very.
interesting. The raw material for
needles comes to the factories in coils
of steele wire that must be fine but
soft in quality and of certain weight
and size. The first thing to do is to
cut the coil of wire in lengths each one
sufficient for two needles, and the next
to straighten the curve of the coil. To
do this a thousand or more of these
lengths are placed between two strong
iron rings, and put in a furnace, where
they are heated red hot. Then they
are taken out and put on an iron topped
table, and while they are hot work
man takes long curved iron tool and
subs them backward and forward until
they become even and straight, They
are now blunt pieces of wire, with
neither points nor eyes To make the
points the wires are fastened on the
Kim of a wheel. This wheel. with its
load of needles sticking out slightly be-
yond the rim, is turned at right angles
to a grindstone and the wires are soon
pointed. The next thing is to make the
eye.
You will remember that each piece
If wire is the length of two needles;
it is now stamped in the center with
the impression of two needle heads, set
end to end, and pair of fine steel
tools punch holes through these stamp
ed heads. Now each wire forms two
needles, fastened head to head by a
thin bit of steel These double needles
about 100 at time. are threaded on a
fine wire, and they look like nothing
so much then as a fine toothed comb
all teeth. OF course the bit of con.
Meeting wire between the double eyes
has been weekend by the stamping, and
the workman separates them by bending
them backward and forward few
times. While they are still strung the
beads are rounded and Smoothed then
the wire is slipped out, and the needles
are set free. a large number of the
needles are threaded again on a hard
wire, the wire IS fastened between two
upright bars and the needles are whirIed
rapidly.
The needles look comp etc and perfect
now; points and eyes are all finished
they are smooth ana nice and in an,
pearance all that could be desired; still
you could not sew with them. they are
too soft. They are placed in an iron
pan. heated in furnace and plunged
INTO vat Of oil, and this sudden chn
ling hardens them. Such a confused
tangled mass as they are now; it seem,
Impossible ever to separate them. an,
right here queer thing is done, fo

uses a wide, short handled fork.
Now you think they aye surely finish

on a piece of canvas, a quantity of
sand and emery powder is mixed with
them and they are corded up very Sc
curely into long roll from eighteen
inches to two feet in length.
A number of these rolls are placed on
movable slab and over them is placed
another heavily weighted slab. A scour-
ing machine moves these slabs back
ward and forward in opposite direc-
tions, and in eight or ten hours the
sand and emery powder has secured the
needles white and silvery looking. but
not shining. So they are put into other
pieces of canvas with a paste of putty
powder and oil, again corded up and put
under the weighted wooden slabs of the
polishing machine for four hours more
after which they are put in vat with

and putty powder and then dried in ash

Now, indeed, they are ready to be
stuck; a machine delivers any re-
quired number, 10, Is or 25 on little
tray, an operator pushes them through
the paper loop gummed to a wrapper
which has already been creased for
folding, and labeled; the wrapper is
fastened up and the package of needles
is ready for sale.
Seventyfve dollars worth of wire
will make 2,250,000 of ordinary sized
needles, which are worth rather more
than $1,000. For sewing alone no less
than $50 different styles and shapes are
used.-Los Angeles Herald.

Watson makes is secret which lies
between the poet and his woman with
the serpent's tongue.
''In any case, the verses have ere
ated a maeistrom in the ordinarily
quiet eddies of London literary life
and in other directions have caused
no little eommotion. / am told that
the publisher of the poems strongly
objected to the inclusion of this par
tieular effusion in the volume, but that
Mr.. Watson insisted that it be re
tained.''
