Yankee Surprised Bessemer

Henry Besserher had invented his
process of converting iron into steel,
was a guest at his home some dis
lance from the city of Birmingham"
said Mr.. Hewitt not long before his
death, which occurred in 1903, when
he was eighty-one years of age. Some
time previous to calling on Sir Henry
| had made the statement that In
twenty-five or thirty years the United
States would be supreme among all
the nations of the world in the pro-
duction of iron and steel-a prophecy
that has come true, as you know. Sir
Henry had heard of my forecast, and
was inclined to doubt its accuracy.
There. while Sir Henry listened at
tentively, told him why / believed
my country would eventually lead,
and be Independent of. the entire
world In the production of iron and
steel. / quoted the statistics had
at hand in support Of my contention.
and. finally, added: And, Sir Henry,
you will be responsible for the pres
tige which we shall obtain, for had 1t
not been for your discovery of the
process by which perfect steel can be
made cheaply, we should not now be
able to compete with you In the man
ufacture Of steel and would probably
have to import all our steel
"Sir Henry smiled indulgentiy; It
was plain that I had not succeeded in
convincing him.
We'll said. perhaps / can con-
vince you on another matter that has
been interesting me greatly of late.
But FIRST tell me. off-hand, II you can,
about how many millions of pounds
your invention has brought to you per
sonally. I do not ask the question
out of idle curiosity
For perhaps FIVE minutes Sir Hen
~ was absorbed in mental calcula-
ton. Then he said: Mr.. Hewitt I
should say, off-hand, that my process
Of steel manufacturing has brought
me about four million pounds
THAT is twenty million dollars IN
American money I replied. Then !
took pencil and paper and began to
do some figuring. based on my knowl
edge of the statistics of steel produc-
ton and Of commerce and manufac.
ture. l made a rapid computation and
handed the paper to Sir Henry.
"'You will see by my figures I ex.
planned. that your invention. within
a quarter of a century, has increased
the material wealth of the world by
an amount practically equivalent to
the cash capital of the commercial ma.
tons of the world as that was hun.
dred years ago, or at the time of the
close of our Revolutionary war
For long time Sir Henry looked
blankly at the figures. You amaze
me- he said, at last. I know that
you are familiar with the statistics
you have employed to arrive at this
result. Yet 1t doesn't seem credible
Nevertheless, the story those fig
ures tell is the truth / answered
And of the increased wealth of the
world-hundreds of millions In all
resulting from your great invention
you have received only twenty mil
lion dollars. Surely, you have divided
| your great wealth with all the ma

of counsel was that the suggestion was
made that there should be informal
and purely personal consultation with
the attorney general. Wayne Mac
Veagh. Mr.. Blaine did breach the
subject to the attorney general, and,
though did not hear the conversation
that took place between them, i was
authoritatively informed that the at
torney general was of the opinion that
the vice-president, in case the disabil-
ity of the president was unquestioned,
could rightfully assume the duties OF
president; the Constitution was unmis-
taxable on this point. But the attor-
ney general asked: If the vice
president gets the presidency In that
way, how in the world is he to be TAX
en- out of it In case the president re-
covers and is once more able to per
form the duties of the office to which
he was elected?

tinued Senator Window, "and there

tive emergency arose. have always
been thankful that an emergency OF
the sort did not arise. Yet l think
that congress ought to indicate by

to resume the ofice may be legally

made. The speaker was Miss Mary

Seattle, April 5.-Commercial or ganizations in all parts of Western Washington are adopting resolutions addressed to Gov. M. E. Hay, urging him to call a special session of the legislature to take definite action on pending road matters. The wind-up last month left the highway interests of the state in sorry shape. Off, cials at Olympia are "up in the air. over the exact status and unless some remedy is furnished there will be little progress toward better roads in Washington during the next two years. The Pacific Highway is of special concern, because it was in- tended to be part of trunk system beginning in British Columbia and running along the coast through Washington, Oregon and California as far as San Diego. Such road would promote tourist travel, it is said. All of the states excepting Washington took favorable action on the project.

Whenever anything like a railroad

Now as far as we can see, the above people have done more good than harm to, the country. Have, they, not built the only trunk railroad in Alaska and opened up a country that would have lain idle for years had the people waited for the government to do it?
 Even the devil is not as black as be is painted, nor are the Guggenheims the avaricious octopus that they are depicted in some newspapers. t.
