How Gold Pens Are Made.

Metallic iridium, used so extensively
for the points of gold pens, is made
from the powder obtained In the wet
way from platinum ore by heating to a
high heat In a sand crucible and then
adding stick phosphorus. The iridium.
which cannot be melted alone, IS thus
fused In the form of an iridium phos-
phide. To remove the phosphorus the
phosphide is heated with lime, and the
iridium Is left In the foisl Of hard
white mass. 1t Is now so hard that 1t
cannot be filed or cut and Is broken up
into small pieces for soldering to the
points Of gold pens. These small pieces
are ground to the right size on a copper
disk wheel with emery or carborun-
dunn. 1t is said that an ounce of irid-
ium will make from 5000 TO 10000
pen points. 1t has also been found
that the iridium thus prepared Is prac-
tically as hard as the ruby. No steel
tools can make any impression upon 1t.
At one time much less expensive than
platinum, iridium now Is worth more
on. account Of the demand for hard plat
mum, In which the iridium Is the
hardening agent.-New York Press.

Furniture Casters.

Many furniture casters are made OF
leather. disks of the required size being
cut out and cemented and compressed
to form the wheel. The wheel is then
put into lathe and turned rounding
on its face. Disks of metal are clamped
on each side of the wheel to serve as
bearings for the axle that runs through
the wheel Such casters are made for
use on hardwood floors. Casters OF
compressed felt are also designed for
this purpose Among other styles OF
casters may be mentioned those OF
glass, designed TO serve for purposes OF
insulation. and ball bearing casters,
one style showing no wheel, but In
stead ball which. when the furniture
is moved. revolves on circle Of small
err balls within the caster fitting. Then,
too, there are caster wheels made of
porcelain and of rubber. of lignum
vitae and other hard woods. Great
numbers OF casters are OF iron and
brass. -Exchange.

After the newspapers and the peo-
pie get tired of criticlsing the legisla'
ture and its faults they will forget
the only way they can secure a
change for the better. which Is to re-
turn members OF experience, who
have done we'll once. Not all mem
bers should be returned. Some are
dangerous and some are useless,
while still others, who mean well and
are honest and patriotic, are not fit-
ted for that particular work. In near
ly every town, however, Is one or
more men of legislative experience,
who have proved faithful to the pub
lie. Send this kind back or else pick
out a new man with the qualities OF
unselfishness and public spirit and
send him for two or three terms. The
most dangerous man in a legisla'
ture is one who puts his own selfish
personal, mercenary or political mo
tives ahead of his service to the state
Some of this kind get into every leg
is lature, but their going should be
guarded against.

Thackeray was much pestered by the
autograph hunter. says Holder I'm his
"Recollections." He distilled above all
things to write In an autograph album
and often refused those who asked him
to do so, sometimes rather brusquely.
On one occasion the owner OF an al
bum, young lady, was fortunate.
Thackeray took her book to his room
in order to look It over. Written on
page he found these lines:
Mount Blanc is the monarch Of noun
tains.
They crowned him-long ago.
But who they got to put II on

The Great Marshal Nsy.

A recent English book about Mar
shal Ney, Napoleon's heroic lieutenant.
"the bravest of the brave" brings
out some interesting facts. This
Frenchman was really German. He
was born at Saarlouis, now in Prussia
and then and always German. He
spoke only German as child. He
was red haired, with a wide face and
rodnd blue eyes. Five feet eight inches
in height, he had a short body and long
legs His comrades called him "le rou-
geot," which was equivalent to car
rots" or "bricktop." He was forty-six
years old at Waterloo. So was Ma
poleon. So was wellington. Marshal
Ney was a man who was trained to the
hardships Of a workman's life. His
father was a cooper, and in his boy
hood work in his fathers business he
was accustomed to toll sand exposure.
This enabled him TO sleep placidly in
the snow on the return from Moscow,
wrapped in his cloak, with the
starved, ragged soldiers of the grand
army keeping guard and the Cossacks
providing around in the darkness"

The Statistical Fiend.

We all know the bore that begins a

tell you how the daily flow of beer In
st. Louis compares with the amount
Of Mississippi water that passes the
city In twentyfour hours. He can
state the tonnage of all ocean grey
hounds, bulldogs, Pomeranians and
ours of low degree. He knows how
many men were slain In battles from
that Of Abancay or Aboukir to that OF
Zurich or Zellchow. He speaks as one
having authority, and even those who
run at his approach shake the head
solemnly: IF old Augur says so il
must be So" What relief 1t Is to find
Sir William Ramsay admitting that the
most accurate of statistics may lie!
Some time ago the statement was
made that 80 per cent Of the total alb
stainers in n regiment stationed in In

ov.r.hadowins III. Ro.hsohilds.

One hundred years ago the Roths-
childs were the only great interna'
tional bankers. They were able to
finance the need OF nations, but the
money they loaned was Chiefly the
money representing their colossal fam
fly fortune. Today there are dozen
great international banking firms, each
OF which Is larger than the Rothschilds
were a century ago and whose aggre-
gate loaning power reaches an amount
which would then have been almost in
conceivable. There are now thou
sand banks where then there was one,
each representing the concentrated
loaning power OF thousands OF people.
They offer vast credit because the
funds of the people. loaned through
them. reach vast sums.-S. w. Straus

Six Hit, With No Buns.

Baseball has some funny freaks, but
none ever beat one which a writer re-
calls happened In u game In Indiana
on May 80. 1890, when the Anderson
club got three triplets, a double and
two singles in one inning, and yet they
didn't score. Ireland, the first batter,
hit for a triple and tried to score on
short passed ball, but was tagged out.
Wiswell, the next batter, hit for what
looked like q home run, but was caught
at the plate by a good return. Shum-
way, the next batter. tripled- The next
batter, Derby, hunted, and while the
third baseman was waiting for the ball
to 20 foul the batter made second, thus
giving him two bases. Faatz also bunt-
ed and was safe. as Shumway on third
was held from scoring. This made five
hits, and the sixth came when Fear bit
liner to right, the ball hitting Faatz
on the way to second. thus retiring the
side.

One of the questions to come be-
fore the voters each year nowadays
is whether or not to have medical in
spection of schools. 1t is good thing
not to have. A reasonable test of
eyesight and hearing made by the
teachers is a desirable thing, but be-
yond that the state or town has no
need of going except in cases OF sus-
pected contagious disease or condi-
tons likely to produce an epidemic
and in those cases the state has am
pie authority to step in now and safe
guard the pupils and the public. Med
ical inspection of the schools would
cost several hundred dollars in Ben
nington and would be that much
wasted.
