Stainless Steel,

A Sheffield steel firm has recently
evolved new and novel product
which is called stainless steel, which,
when brought to bright polished fin
ish, is proof against rust, stain or tar
nish. The first articles which have
been made from this steel are cutlery,
and after prolonged use this has re-
tanned its original finish. Although
specimens were subjected to a par
ticularly severe test on fruits of vari-
GUS kinds known quickly to stain ordi-
nary steel, there were no marks OF any
kind upon the surface of the cutlery.

IsKYSCRAPER EAM|PULLED FROM LUNG

Most Difficult Operation Of Its k,na

While at work on his farm a Kan.

to make him start suddenly and thu

points uppermost, finally lodging in
the lower lobe of the right lung. To-
cal physicians were unable to remove
the intruder, and so the farmer went
to Pittsburgh to consult DR.. Cheyal.
Ter Jackson.
Doctor Jackson succeeded in re.
moving the staple not only without in.
jury to the mans lung, but without
shedding drop of blood. His account
of the achievement, as given in the
Journal of the American Medical AS.
ISOLATION, is an excellent example Of
the patience and ingenuity which spell
success for the modern surgeon.
The first step was the making of a
series Of X-ray photographs Of the
lung. These showed that the staple
had worked down by a rachet.like
movement deep into the lung. Every
breath favored its going still deeper,
but was powerless to force the in.
truder back because of the immediate
catching of one or both points.
An instrument called bronchoscope
was introduced down the patients
throat and into the lung. This re-
vealed the staple tightly wedged in
the smallest lung passage it could en-.
ter, and with both points concealed in
swollen mucous membrane. To pull
on such a body would mean the rip
ping of the bronchial wall and certain
death to the patient.
Working the body slightly down

STRENGTH of Cast Iron.

In paper recently read before the
Society of Chemical Industry the state
ment was made that the strength Of
cast iron was affected by the addition
of wrought iron in the following pro-
portions: With 100 parts Of cast iron
10 parts of wrought iron increases the
strength per cent; 20 parts Of
wrought iron increases the strength
80 per cent; 80 parts Of wrought iron
increases the strength 60 per cent; 40
parts of wrought iron increases the
strength but 80 per cent. The maxi
mum result is therefore produced with
80 per cent wrought scrap.

A suit was filed In the Supreme
court to gain compensation for work
performed by slaves during the years
from 1859 to 1868. in the production OF
cotton in the southern states and
preparation of this cotton for the
market. William G. McAdoo is made
| the defendant in his official capacity
as secretary of the treasury. The
plaintiffs are H. N. Johnson of Lou
isiana; r. Bowers of Texas; C. B. Will
liams Of Mississippi and Mamie
Thompson Of Tennessee, who say in
the bill of complaint that they sue for
themselves and others similarly in
terested.
The bill sets forth that the secretary
of the treasury Of the United States
obtained possession. and the defend.
ant herein now holds the custody. of
certain money which was part of
the fruit OF the labor of the plaintiffs
amounting to $6S.072,3SS under Sin
ternal revenue tax on raw cotton"
and that this sum is not the legitimate
property Of the United States. and
should be paid to those by whose la
Dor the cotton yielding this revenue
was produced.
Another paragraph of the bill reads:
Plaintiffs and such Of them as claim
here as heirs were subject to a sys-
tenn of involuntary seryitude in the
above named states, and other states
commonly known as the Southern
States"
Referring further to the conditions
under which the services were rem
dered, the petition says:
That the system of involuntary ser.
vitude by which plaintiffs we're domi.

their free will of action and by
coercion and justifiable fear of bodily
injury or destruction, to render said
labor"

A. Guess. Jones, who is said to have
prepared the bill Of complaint, Is a
colored lawyer. The petition asks

Superintendent of State Prisons
John B. Riley intimated that action
will be taken in the case of Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne of Sing Sing
prison. The superintendent is to meet
Governor Whitman at Cliff Haven,
where the governor is to speak to the
students of the Catholic Summer
school.
Mr.. Riley has hesitated to remove
Mr.. Osborne without the consent of
Mr.. Whitman. The meeting between
the governor and Mr.. Riley, it is said,
will probably lead to a request for Os-
borne's retirement.
Superintendent Riley charges War
den Osborne with having violated the
state prison rules in these particu-
lars:
First-Permitting prisoners to visit
sick relatives.
Second-Permitting prisoners to at
tend funerals.
Third-Permitting prisoners to
visit the death house.
Fourth-Permitting persons other
than relatives of the condemned men
to enter the death house to talk with
them.

The Three-In-O Ones were winners in
a very exciting game yesterday aft
ernoon. The National Oats were the
losers but until the sixth inning they
looked easily to be the winners.
The Dat boys made one run in the
first, one In the second, two in the
fourth and two in the sixth. The
"Oilers" could only squeeze In one
tally up to this time. In the sixth,
however, they got to Lappington for
three more ruLs. Anderson relieved
Lappington, for the National Oats, in
the sixth. In the seventh the Dat
boys failed to score but the "Oilers''
got to Anderson for three runs and
the game.
B. Vaughn, E. Anderson, and G..
Myers did some nice stick work for
the National Oats while McVoy's
double in the seventh, scoring the
winning run, was also included In
features. B. Vaughan completed the
circuit three times for his team, scor-
ing half the runs.
