TURNS OLD IRON INTO STEEL
Inventor Takes Metal Costing But
Two Cents Pound and in Short
Order Transforms II.

London.-M. Martin Kallman, presi-
dent of the Oriental Trust Company
of Paris and London, is in London
again on business in connection with
new process he is developing for
turning iron of all grades into fine
steel.
IL recent demonstration the first
test was plain bar of iron. This was
coated with a peculiar chemical pow
der and placed in an alright retort
in a furnace. The result was that
the entire bar was transformed into
steel, which the experts pronounced,
after testing it, to be of very fine
jects were worked up in ordinary iron
and put through a process success
fully. Some were made into solid
steel, while on others only the outer
surface was transformed into steel
An iron car wheel was given a
steel rim and a heavy iron chain was
turned into solid steel at one end
which graduated into a thin coat
ing of iron at the other end. There
was no question of the steel being
fixed onto the iron. 1t was clearly
demonstrated that in every case the
iron itself was transformed into steel
"The peculiar thing about this pro
cess said Mr.. Kallman, after the
tests were finished, rs that low-grade
cheap iron can, by our method, bt
transferred into a higher grade O
steel than other and better grades O
iron. We don't know much about thi
feature yet, but our experiments ar,
teaching us great deal
Il estimate we can take a piece o
iron costing two cents a pound an,
put it through our process at cost O
five cents a pound and produce stee
which, at the lowest valuation today
is worth 81 a pound. Other method
would cost from 10 to 20 times a
much"

FADS SHOCK
Egyptian Princess Goes Unveiled
and Clad in Latest Costumes.
No Longer EnveIops Herself as If for
Burial and khedive Throws All
Written Protests in Waste
Basket.

Cairo, Egypt.-A few days ago con-
servative Egypt was startled when
Princess Hafza, cousin of the khc-
dive, a charming young lady of 20
summers, appeared on the streets
dressed in the latest Partisan fashion.
wearing a hat from which the French
milliner had discarded the veil. This
audacity stirred the upper Mohamme-
dan section of the community and
kilograms were sent in large numbers
to the khedive by the religious teach
ers in the Azhar university and from
other sources urging him to save the
dignity of their religion by forbidding
his relative to espouse European fash
ion, thus defying the tenets Of their
faith, and setting aside ancient laws
which govern Mohammedan society.
The khedive, its is known, didn't
even take the trouble to acknowledge
the receipts of these messages, and
therefore the princess, unabashed
takes her daily drive like any Euro
pean lady and in the latest style at
that.
Since this princess first defied ira
ditional rules governing the life of
Moslem women, it has become COM
mon sight to see the rising feminine
generation of Mohammedan elite So
ciety women going about like their
Christian sisters, without meliahs and
without wells. AS | informed you a
little while back, Mohammedan socie-
tywomen organized themselves to de-
mand that they be no longer subjected
to the habit of being compelled to en-
velope themselves and appear while
going about as though they were in
the shrouds of the dead. Other de-
mands are that they have the say as
to whom they should marry, and not
to be forced into wedlock with men
whom they have never known, and
! ros2.Jiy have never seen in their
lives.
Mass meetings were held in the
city and elsewhere, at which resolu
lions were passed and sent to the
khedive and to the national council
which has been sitting reviewing the
laws of the country and making rec
concentrations to the counsel of state
as to what new laws should be en-
acted and old ones abrogated.
That these women were serious /.
shown by their fiery speeches in which
they pledged themselves to influence
women of marriageable age. to refuse
to wed any man whom they did no
| know personally or who would no
pledge himself to help them acquir'
more seh-independence. The move
ment has already borne some fruit
OF course it will be some time befor
it becomes popular with everybody
and not for many years to come vii
Egyptian women be entirely emanc
pated and have the same privilege
that European and American wome
enjoy.

IaN SIGNED AWAY $4,000
Farmland Was Glad of Chance to Get
$500 to Sign Away Birthright
to Property.

New York.-A remarkable story of
how a youth in poverty signed away
his birthright to Manhattan real estate
worth $4,000 for $500 through the eff
forts of one uncle, and was later
found after long search by another
uncle who aided him to regain his
rights. was told in papers that came
before Supreme Court Justice Bisch-
off, on which Justice Bischoff decided
in favor of the youth.
Mrs. Harriet Cramsey, who owned a
valuable piece of property at Eighty.
fourth street and Lexington avenue,
died in 1897, leaving a will in which
she gave her property in five equal
shares to her CHILDREN, with the provi-
sion that if any OF her children died
leaving children of their own the par
ent's share was to go to the children,
but otherwise the share was to be d.
vided among Mrs. Cramseys surviving
children.
One of Mrs Cramsey's children was
Benjamin F., who was married in 1877
to Ella harrington. The marriage was
bitterly opposed by the members of
his family, but he lived with his wife
for about three years and then left
her, giving up his son, J. Edward
Cramsey, who was about year old at
the time. The husband drifted so far
away from his wife and son that Just
before he died in 1902, he had lost all
track of them. Then it became neces.
sary to make some disposition of Ben.
jamin's share of the estate.
George c. Sterling was convinced
that Benjamins son was living and
employed several persons to find him.
They found him living on little farm
in Dover, N. j., with his uncle, Charles
Harrington. The agents of George c.
Sterling traced the boy to this farm.
The person empowered to negotiate
with young Cramsey had no trouble
inducing him to take $500 for so SIM
pie thing as signing his name to a
piece of paper to clear the title to
certain property and prevent the fore
closure of mortgage. Cramsey was
so glad to get the $500 for his sigma
ture to what proved to be the deed to
his $4,000 property that he gave $50
of 1t to the man who had brought it to
him. He used he money to put a
headstone at his mothers grave and
F, to add to the farm equipment.

CUPID MERGES RIVAL FIRMS
Younu Widow Wins Trade from Civil
War Veteran, and He in Turn,
Wins Her Heart.

Wilkes Barre, PA commercial
war between two rival stores at
Dloomsburg. near here, was ended the
other day when Cupid took hand as
arbitrator and united the business ri
walls in marriage. Charles Fox, g.
vear-old veteran of the civil war, had
an exclusive trade, with general
store. in the business section OF
bloomsbury, near large mills, until a
couple of years ago, when to his sur
prise and Indignation a rival store
carving the same line of goods was
opened across the street by Mrs. Anna
Nansteller, a young and attractive
widow.
Fox thought the rival place would
not last long, believing that no wo-
man could conduct such store. Grad
uallv he realized that 1t was not only
successful but had taken about half
his trade away. Then commenced a
keen rivalry, each seeking to outdo
the other in the bargains offered and
the goods presented.
From watching each other in a bust
moss way mutual admiration followed
Soon they were talking good natured
IL about their rivalry; soon Fox was
aollirg anon the widow and not long
oco they agreed to consolidate theil
hoorts their stores aud their bushes:
,hili,ies. The other day they came
/here quietly and were married by th'
pev | W. Clemenson.

STORE SEVEN YEARS WHEAT
En9lishmen Plan to Copy Joseph.
Scheme by Erecting Warehouses
to Withstand Siege.

London.-Labor and socialist rep
resentatives from all the important
centers of the United Kingdom met
at conference at Shoreditch town
hall recently to discuss the food sup
ply of the United Kingdom.
The speakers said England was de-
pendent to such terrible extent upon
foreign sources for it's foodstuffs that
1t would be possible, by a combination
OF powers, without war, practically to
starve the nation out. The only rem
edy lay in the direction of organized
agriculture as a national concern.
Ben Tillet of the Dockers' union,
who opened the discussion, declared
that unless something was done in the
matter of the food supply, this coun-
try was bound to go down in proper
ton as other countries developed. We
had 2O,OO0,000 acres of good land lying
idle, while other countries were devel-
oping. Our food supply was in dam
ger, and he declared the time had
come when we should ask parliament
not to pffle so much about unearned
increment, but interest itself in those
things which affected the everyday
life of the people.
A discussion followed on the imme-
date measures that should be taken
for the mitigation of the dangers Of
the increasing dependency upon for
eign powers, in which the national
storage of wheat and the cultivation
of uncultivated crown and other lands
were suggested
j. Scurr IS. d. P.) advocated the &C.
emulation of national wheat re-
serve. Reservoirs could be erected in
various parts of the country for the
storage of seven years supply
which could be accumulated over a
period of IA years at a cost of G2S,.
100000. Major Murray suggested the
erection of granaries, an expenditure
of G240,000 year being sufficient for
| four months wheat supply.
