MASTER-SMlTH Of THE DAY
Produces Steel Of Cutting Capacity
Surprising Work of Legendary
SWordmaker.

We are all familiar with the old.
time legends Of the master-smith, who,
by his skill at the forge, was able to
produce for the hero of the tale a
weapon which should cut through the
armor of giant or wizard and main.
tain its temper and edge against all
tests.
The modern industrial captain has
to cut his way also through metal,
and one Of the notable achievements
Of the engineer and metallurgist has
been his success in the production Of
steels of hardness and cutting ca
pacity which, altogether surpass the
finest work Of the legendary sword
maker.
Not content with the manufacture
of tool steel Of hardness, high-speed
cutting capacity and exquisite temper,
the modern master-smith has now pro-
duced a method Of converting soft
iron or low-grade steel into tool-steel
of the highest grade simply by the in
fusion Of the necessary proportion of
carbon and other elements by contact
and proper heat treatment, SO that
keen-edged chisels may be made from
railroad spikes and machine cutters
from soft and inexpensive steel.
Trials Of cutting tools made by the
infusionprocess at the ordnance bureau
of the United States navy department
have given such remarkable results,
both as to cutting speed and endur-
ance, that the chief of the bureau
says: From the test of the infusion
treated samples, 1t appears superior
to any hardening process now in use
at the naval gun factory" SO that the
modern master-smith has outstripped
the tabled tales of the wizard weap-
on-maker Of mediaeval times.

President Gompcrs Explains What He

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-Calmly
facing the judges who on previous
occasion sentenced him to Jail for
contempt, President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared that he disobeyed certain court
orders issued by Judge Daniel in the
famous anti-boycott suit of TIE Bucks
Stove and Range company because
he believed they infringd the consti-
tutional rights of free speech and free
press.
The labor leader was under cross
examination in the renewed contempt
case against himself, Secretary Nor
rison and Vice President Mitchell
Gompers swore that he did not intend
the usual construction to be placed
on the sentence "go To- with your
Injunction" which appeared in the
federation organ. He said he was fond
| of Shakespeare and intended to paro
dy the immortal bard's language "gt

Daily New York stock Letter.

ing Post Company
NEW YORK, Feb S.--The stock ex-
change which yesterday was alleged
to be waiting to advance or decline,
according to the action of last nights
caucus on the money trust investiga-
tion, today received the news of the
defeat of the agitator faction with en-
tire equanimity. Prices opened
fraction higher then lapsed again in
to dullness and inertia, with some
slight show of strength around the
close. 1t is conceivable that the fail
ure to respond with aggressive
strength to the Washington news
arose from the fact that the inquiry
though not entrusted to the wild-eyed
special committee proposed by Chair
man Henry, was none the less order
&c peremptorily from the regular COM
mittees. But this was no great sur
prise to Wall street, and it can hardly
be called disccneerting or alarming
An inquiry, soberly conducted by "a
sane committee, will have its advant-
ages in laying at rest the exaggera-
tions of the agitators.

Brutal Murder.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
FRUITO, Colo. Feb. S.-What is
apparently a brutal murder was un.
covered when Edward Brain and Geo.
McCarrell found the body of child
from to 10 years old just across the
line in Utah. That the child had been
slain was indicated by the fact that
leather thongs were twisted and knot
ted about the throat while both hands
and the right foot were missing. The
crime evidently was committed
months ago as the body was decom-
posed beyond hope of recognition.
The scene of the crime is on the
Utah Indian reservation and the
theory here is that Indians kidnapped
the child and then murdered it to get
rid of it.
