How the Glowing lngots of Metal are

That rail mill was certainly Won

ingots were carried on a transfer car

trough. or table" as they call it, con-
ssts of a series of rollers that were
turning rapidly Riding on them, the
big, clumsy ingot sailed along until it
bumped against a pair of large steel
rolls. Immediately the rolls seized it
and hauled it through like clothes
through a clothes wringer. We could
not see that it had been flattened down
very much, but we noticed that deep
corrugations had been cut into its up
per surface.
AS it moved on the rollers turned
it over on it's side before it was caught
by the next pair of or stand" of rolls.
1t went through four stands in sue
cession, turning over between each
stand until it had made a complete
turn. Then it came to what is called
a three high" mill, which has three
rolls, one above the other. First, the
"bloom," as it was now called, went
between the middle and bottom rolls,
but no sooner had ii emerged than it
was raised bodily, the supporting roll
Ter tables" on both sides Of the mill
being raised up simultaneously.
The rollers of the tables were then
reversed, causing the bloom to start
back between the middle and top
rolls. The tables were now lowered,
their rollers reversed and the bloom
sent through between the middle and
bottom rolls, as before, but this time
it was switched to one side, where the
and it was a tighter squeeze getting
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to a tighter
pass each time until it was squeezed
down to about eight inches square and
over forty feet long. Then it was cut
in two. and each bloom went through
another set of rollers that gradually
worked it down to the size and shape
of a rail. 1t was fascinating to watch
that snakelike bar over a hundred
feet long writhing as if alive.
AS it came back for its last sally
through the rolls a whistle was blown
as warning that the rolling was fin
ished, and the rail was now on its
way to the saws. There were five cir
cular saws that dropped down upon
the glowing metal and amid a shower
of sparks sawed it into four ten-yard
rails. After that the rails were car
ried off on run out tables" to the

for children and parents to have less

QUEER LAND TENURES
Ceremonies of Ancient Date Observed
in Enoland.

in England.
Our British cousins still cling to
some curious customs with respect to
land tenures. Whenever, for instance,
a certain estate at Chingford, in Es-
sex, passes into new hands, the owner,
with his wife, man servant, and maid
servant, goes on horseback to the
parsonage and pays homage by blow
ing three blasts on a horn. He car
ries a hawk on his wrist, and his
servant leads a greyhound, both sup
posed to be for the use of the rector
that day.
The new owner then receives
chicken for the hawk. peck of oats
for his horse, and a loaf Of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner the own
er blows three more blasts, and then
with his party withdraws from the
rectory
Another curious proceeding is
known as THE Castor Whip Tenure"
On Palm Sunday every year a serv-
ant from the Broughton estate at
tends service at Castor church with
new cart whip, and, after cracking
= s.ree times on~the porch, marches
with it to the manor house.
AS the clergyman begins to deliver
his sermon, the servant quits his
seat. A purse containing 80 pieces of
silver is fixed at the end of the whip
lash. and, kneeling on a cushion, he
holds the purse suspended over the
head of the minister until the end of
the sermon. Then purse and whip are
left at the manor house.
The Whisper Court at Rockford,
in Essex, is a strange Michaelmas OBJ
servance held under the auspices OF
the steward of the manor The busi-
ness of the court is transacted at mid
night in the open air. The absence
of a tenant is punishable by fine of
double his rent for each hour he fails
to be in attendance; no artificial light
except a firebrand is permitted the
proceedings are recorded by means of
one Of the embers of the brand. The
roll of II tenants is called and an
swered in a whisper, and then all
kneel and swear allegiance.
In explanation of this odd ceremony
it is said that many years ago the
lord of the manor, after an absence
from his estate, was returning home
at night. Passing over what is known
as Kings hill, he accidentally heard
some of his dscontented tenantry
plotting his assassination, and, thus
warned. went home by an unexpected
route He enacted that from that
time forth the tenants on his estate
should assemble every year exactly at
the same time to do him homage
round post which he caused to be
erected on the precise spot where the
plotters met.-Illustrated Sunday

MORO RULERS

They are Shrewd Enough When it is
to Their Advantage.
The Moro lords Of the Island Of
Mindanao in the Philippines-they are
called datos-although nearer savages
than barbarians, do not want native
wit and shrewdness. A young lieuten-
ant who has seen service there tells
the following incident,( which shows
how clever one of them was in con-
cealing his ignorance:
Some of the retainers of old Dato
Mundi. who lorded it over a few hum
dred fuzzy headed, bolo- chopping ma
tives in the Mindanao hills back Of one
of the army stations, sneaked down
one dark night and stole half dozen
cavalry horses from the corral The
commanding colonel, much incensed
at the theft, had some native trackers
trail the horses to the very village
where the old dato had his primitive
court Forthwith he sent the young
lieutenant. with formidable escort of
khaki clad troopers, to bear letter to
the dato that demanded instant resti-

tuition of the horses under penalty OF
immediate war. A half-breed inter-
prefer went along with the party.
The lieutenant found the dato, who
had word of his coming, seated in SOL
emn state. He wore a gown Of angry
turkeyred calico, while scores of
cockatoo feathers bristled in his wool.
Heavy rings cleaned on his fingers
and toes Around him were ranked a
score of his warriors.
The interpreter translated the letter.
The dato, who could not read or write
a word in any language, took the sheet
from his hand and gazed long and
frowningly upon it.
Well" said the lieutenant, growing
restless, for he was fully aware Of
the Moro's complete lack Of education,
ASK him what his answer is"
The interpreter translated this:
whereupon the dato seized a piece Of
charcoal from the open fire and max
ing a number of marks upon the back
of the letter returned it to the lieu
tenant in solemn silence, while his
warriors looked on, struck with admir-
alton at their leaders learning.
The lieutenant gaZed at the mean
ingless hen tracks" that the dato had
scrawled across the page, and frown-
ed in disgust. Tell him." he cried
impatiently, to the interpreter, that
want to know just what this means;
whether we get the horses, or whether
it's war;"
AS the hot words were translated to
him the old dato snatched the letter
from the lieutenant's hand and seiZ-
ing a twig that was burned at one end
to live coal, he swiftly punched three
holes through the sheet. Then he
handed it back to the officer. drew
himself to his full height, and haugh-
tily declaimed something in his native
tongue, while his warriors bowed to
the ground in awe.
He says" translated the interpreter
with a SMILE that he thought every
warrior knew that when one ruler an
swcrs another rulers letter by writing
on the back of it, it means war; and
when he burns three holes through it,
it means war twice. e."-Youth's Com

BERLIN
German Capital is Rapidly Becoming
Seaport.

Germany proceeds steadily with the
development of her canal system. and
in the near future a number of import
ant extensions will be open for traf-
&c. The Rhcin-Weser canal will be
completed in few months, and in
about years time The city of Han
over Will be connected with the Weser.
The great ship canal from Berlin t"
the oder has just been finished. and
Il project to he realized at an early
dat" is the Leipsc- Saale canal. which
will make the city of brooks" a sea
port.
TIL" Berlin-Od,r canal is Il note
worthy engineering feat. ii starts ON
the west side of Berlin and runs in q
rough semi circle to Oderber% where
ii falls into the river. 1t is about siX-
" miles long and has cost somethin"
over $4,000 600 to build.
Its great importance lies in the fact
that it connects the capital of the en-
pire with the greatest PrusSian port:
it binds Berlin and Stcttin. Berlin and
the oder have, Of course, been united
for some considerable time by the
