Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals. is decorated with
tnnumerable nicheE for statues. At
canterbury a series of these inches ID
occupied with statues Of kings and
queens Of England. and there are only
four inches left unoccupied.
An old tradition has It that when
all the inches are filed the throne Of
England will come to an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with a view
to q statue Of herself being placed In
one OF the four remaining inches, but
her late majesty was aware Of the old

FINO PROCESS FOR
TEMPERING METALS

Everyone who has anything to
d. with metals will be interested
in the statement made by President
C. B. Whitley of the Precious
Metals Tempering company. Mr..
Whitley claims that his company is
in possession of processes for the
tempering of gold, silver, and
copper so that they will take on
and hold keen edges and be
available for tools of various kinds
and especially for surgeons imple-
ments.
The desirabilitJ of having in
struments for surgical purposes
that will be absolutely antiseptic at
all times is we'll known, and the
tempering proc esses spoken of by
Whitley will give the surgeons
precisely what they want in this
respect. The ancient hard temper
ing of copper has long been
puzzle to the world, and the redis-
cJVery Of the art of copper temper
ing has been announced from time
to time; but nothing practical has
come of it. If Mr.. WiAley's CON-
pany has attained to the art Of
copper tempering. that in itself
would be great mechanical
triumph.
He does not claim that the old
art of tempering copper has been
rediscovered, but only that his
company has method that does
harden copper and make that metal
available for cutting tools; and his
further claim that both gold and
silver can also be tempered is a
claim of the highest importance.
His additional claim, which we
take it is entirely distinct, that
gold can be made to permeate
through the pores of steel SO as to
make a practical amalgamation of
the gold and steel, is an entirely
diff ereht matter. That would not
necessarily have anything to do
with the tempering of the metal,
nor would the processes be at all
the same.
We presume that either by
tremendous pressure or by
mobilization the gold could be
injected Unto the pores of steel,
especially II the steel wee red or
white hot The utility of this per-
meation, however, is not so evident
az is the utility of the tempering
process for the clear metal itself.
We trust that there is no
mistake in President Wilhey's
claim that, this company has a
process such as he alleges. If so,
and IL that process is a practical
working process, great and
astonishing boon has been confer
red upon the world.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

AN EPITAPH

Mason and Dixon's line is fast
becoming a memory, says the
Kansas City Journal, but here and
there are to be found evidences of
the once bitter hatred which pre-
vailed in the days of the civil war.
|, George'W. KerdOlff, who before
entering the insurance business
spent much time in the south, tells
this story of an epitaph rudely
carved on block of sandstone yet
to be seen in a Louisiana parish:
When the slogan of the south
was ION to Washington" and the
youth of the Confederacy had
shouldered their muskets for the
front, leaving only the older folks
and women and children at home a
band of Union soldiers came into
Louisiana. Sighting the enemy,
the aged men, assisted by the
women. gathered together their
scant supply of firearms and plan
ned resistance. AS the Federal
forces came up narrow lane the
Southerners opened fire with such
deadly effect that the invaders
retreated, leaving one of their
number dead upon the field of
battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe,
and over his grave to this day one
may read the roughly.chiseled
epitaph:
"The Yankee bands, with bloody
hands.
Came southwark to divide our
lands:' 80 ...
This lonely and deserted spot
PIs all this derned old Yankee got"
