will give just a bit, just a very small

PlDGIN ENGLISH IS POPULAR
In China the Lingo Is Used by Both
Servants anc Employers In
Speaking to Each Other.

In China servants speak pidgin, or
business, English to their employers !;
and servants from different parts OF
China will use this weird language IN
speaking to each other. The formation
of the sentence is the same as In chi
nese: the language itself is an extra
ordinary mixture of English, Portu-
guese, French and Chinese. Some OF
the phrases, says Mrs. De Burgh Daily
in An Irishwoman in China, are very
quaint and amusing.
A bishop is called "No. l, top size
joss pidgin man." "Top side" means
heaven, "joss," god, "pidgin," busi-
ness.
There is story of two men VINO
came to call upon the king of Slam

3ESSEMER IRON AND STEEL
Original Process Involved Decarboniza-
ton, or Burning Out OF Excess
Carbon, by Blowing Air.


Henry Bessemer, who invented the
method named for him in the manufac-
ture of iron and steel, which revolu-
tionized the industry, was granted
patent by the British government on
October II, 1855. This was the first
patent given him, notes an exchange.
Additional patents were taken out In
the following December and February,
covering improvements Bessemers
original process involved decarboniza-
ton, or the burning out of the excess
carbon, by blowing air through pig
iron. This revolutionary invention was
due indirectly to the Crimean war.
Bessemer undertook to invent an i'm
proved cannon, but found all available
metals too weak for the gun he sought
to make. He then began experiments
In steel making, with the ultimate re-
suit of the production of "Bessemer
steel" His invention won for him fame
and fortune and the honor Of knight
hood. Sir Henry Bessemer was born
In England, but was of French Hugue-
not descent. Since his pioneer inven-
ton, the process of converting iron In
to steel has been vastly improved.
