BEssEMER IRON AND STEEL
Original Process Involved Decarboniza-
 tloDS or Burning Out of Excess Carbon, by Blowing Ar. .-,. .-

Henry Bessemer, who invented the method named for him In the manufac- ture of iron and steel, which revolu- tionized the industry, was granted a patent by the British government on October IT, 1855. This was the first patent given him. notes an exchange. Additional patents were taken out in the following December and February, covering Improvements. Bessemer's 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 Orimean war.
 Ressemer undertook to inyent an inc pFOyed 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 hooh Sir Henry Bessemer was born in England, but was of French Hugue- not descent. Since his pioneer invcn- tion. the process of converting iron in- to steel has been vastly improved.

Burns inconsistent in Love.

Burns love affairs were both the product and the inspiration. of his genius, Although he had written to Clarinda of Edinburgh that, com pared with her, Jean Armour was as the expiring glimmer of farthing ta- per beside the glory of the meridian sun. he married Jean within two months. Last year at Sotheby's a let ter written week after his marriage, vindicatIng Jean entirely. fetched S55O. Later curious Burns letter was offered, dated June %. 179s (Burns was married August 3, 1788)5 in which he states: T have waited on 1Ir. Auld about my marriage affair and stated that was legally fined for an irregular marriage by d. justice of the peace. He says if I bring an at testation of this by the two witnesses there shall be no more litigation about it." The Illegal" marriage which fol- lowed August 3swas apparently the so- lutiOn of the trouble. Doubts raised In the auction room as to the authen" ticity of the letter were dispelled.- London Telegraph.

PIDGIM ENGLISH IS POPULAR
lM China the Lingo la Used By Both Servants and Employers iD
 Speaking to Each Other.

In China servants speak pidgin, or business, English to their employers i; and servants from different parts of China will use this weird language in speaking to each otller 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 TrishWOman in China, are very quaint and amusing.
 A bishop is called "No. i, top side joss pidgln man." ''Top side' means heaven, Joss" god, "pidgin," busi- ness.
 There is a story of two men who came to call upon the king of Siam when he was staying in Shanghai. They entered the hotel and asked the proprietor, courteous American, if his majesty were at home.
 Boy" called the proprietor, "one piecee king have got2"
 "Have got, sir" replied the boy cheerfully.
 His majesty is at home, gentle men," translated the proprietor.
 One day, says Mrs. Daly. large par tEassembled on a steamer to bid fare we'll to bound friends. Wish ing to make certain that the steamer should not carry us off, we informed the steward in excellent Mandarin that he was to come and warn us of her departure. He stared blankly. Some one tried NingpO dialect-nO use; Shanghai-still blank stare. At last my husband called out:
 "Boy!" --. .-.~.
 "Yesslr."
 "Wantchee walkee can come talkee! Savvee?"
 'All right, sir; my savvee."
 Servants quickly find out our likes and dfslikes in food, and act accord lngfy. A friend of mine was fond of snipe, and often ordered them for din- ner. One evening, when an unexpected guest arrived, she told Boy that since there were not enough snipe she would not eat one. Presently Boy nudged her and remarked in loud whisper:

Dry. Hot Atmoanhers.

Dryness combined with high temper ature Is commonly deemed injurious, notes an exchange. This is the com bination found in desert climates and in many artlficially heated dwellings in northern climates in winter. The dry, hot atmosphere induces restless nes and nervous" feelings as we'll as drying and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Susceptibility to colds Is said to be increased in indoor dwellers in a hot, dry atmosphere, al- though q similar effect does not seem tc be associated with the aridity of desert climates
