STEEL RAILS


 The First Bessemer steel rail made in America, was rolled by the North Chicago Rolling-Min Company from steel made at Wyandotte, Mich, just hal ia century ago today, May 24. 1865. This was in the nature of an experiment., and but six rails were made. Two years later 8 similar experiment was made by a New York mill from steel made at Troy, N Y., but it was not until August, 1867, that the Cambria Iron Company began to roll Bessemer steel rails as a. regular business. thus laying the foundation for gigantic industry. Steel gaiIs were first made and used in England. The first steel rail was laid on the track of an American railroad in 1888, the rails having been imported from Great Britain. The Pennsylvania railroad was the pioneer in this line, the original importation consisting of 100 tons, at S150 gold per ton equivalent in civil war times to $500 in American currency. These rails were made of crucibIe steel, and con- tained so large a percentage of car bon that many of them broke during the following winter. Despite this fact, the railway company ordered more steel rails from England, pay ing from $135 to $162.50 gold per ton in boO,oOO ton lots.

proposition, on the first page, that
the editor of the Star send to the
Marion county representatives list
of a hundred citizens who do not ap-
prove of Mr.. Camp amending our
city charter, the Star will say that it
can simplify the matter by sending to
the said representatives its subscrip-
ton list, which is hundred and six
other hundreds. There will be excep-
tions, of course, but only enough to
prove the rule. Mr.. Camp, as a citi-
zen of Ocala, and useful citizen with
large interests, has a right to have a
voice in framing new charter. But
the people object to his taking entire
charge of the job. Mr.. Camp need
not worry. There will be plenty of

It is believed by many that the
main attack on the Germans in the
west will not be made in either Fland-
ers or Northern France, but thru
Alsace. While the British and Bel
gians keep up the fight in Belgium,
and large French forces press heavily
on the Germans from the British
right wing to the Vosges, a mighty
army will try to break thru some
where near Strasburg and push its
way down the Rhine With all their
successes, real and fancied, in the
east, the Germans are simply wear
ing out their strength against the
Russians, who are holding them right
where they were last September. One
thing is certain, and that is that in
the next few months the world is go
ing to see some fighting compared
with which what has gone before will
be only skirmishes.

The Dresden was sunk near Robin

off the coast of Chill. She was over
taken by the Glasgow, which had al
ready opposed her in two fights, and
two other cruisers. The Dresden,
which had been constantly at sea since
last August, was in no condition for
fighting a superior force, and after
five minutes action hauled down her
colors. She was then on fire, and her
captors had barely time to save her
crew. Nine of the Dresden's men
were killed and fifteen wounded.
While this cruiser had not had as
spectacular career as her sister ship,
the Emden, she had done more hard
fighting and was as ably handled as
any ship could be. Since the battle of

The British consider the battle of

a distinct success over the Germans,
as the initial move of the spring cam
paign in which they expect to drive
the Germans out of Flanders. 1t is
evident that the British are putting a
powerful army in the field, but they
are all new troops, and how they will
count at the first against the German
veterans remains to be seen. It will
not take many days of fighting, how
ever, to make veterans out of green
