How Kelly Found the
Process of Pneumatic
Steel Making

Detroit, Oct. 23.-The late 'Villiam
Kelly, scientist. hailed as the discov-
erer of the pneumatic process of
steel making, has been accorded the
honors denied him while he lived
The honor is in the form of a
bronze tablet placed in the door of
the public library at Wyandotte, a
suburg, said to be the birthplace Of
the American steel industry.
Steel men from all parts of the
country witnessed the dedicatory
ceremonies. The inscription on the
tablet asserts the late Mr.. Kelly was
the discoverer of the process of steel
making that has made the building
progress of the world possible.
Following the unveiling, William c.
Kelly of Charleston, W. Va, a son,
told story that up to that time had
been family secret.
He declared that years ago his
father established steel mill in Ken
tucky and began manufacture of steel
by the old charcoal method. One
day the slaves forgot to replenish the
charcoal beneath one of the furnaces
Mr.. Kelly Investigated and saw that
cold al was reaching the melting
iron and making it, not colder, as he
expected to find, but hotter.
MY father developed the air pro-
cess of steel making it, not colder,
as he expected to find, but hotter.
my father developed the air pro-
cess Of steel making from this discov
cry" the speaker said.
The son of the discoverer related
that two English workmen later OBJ
tanned from his father the story of
the process and that later when the
elder Kelly attempted to patent his
process discovered that the late Sir
Henry Bessemer of England already
had obtained the American rights, as
serting he had discovered the system
independently. The speaker charged
that later developments proved Sir
Henry had been one of the men who
posed as English steel workers. OBJ
tanning the story of the process from
his father.
my father estabiislcl his priority
rights but a struggle followed and
he did not meet with financial sue
cess" the son said.
The elder Mr.. Kelly established the
first large pneumatic steel making
plant in the country at Wyandotte.
Despite the fact that the Detroit su-
hurb was the birthplace of the indus
try Pittsburgh later was settled as
the steel city of the country.

FINES MORE
THANIICNSES

The argument of some advocates of
the liquor traffic that the license mon
ey lost to the public treasury will cut
down the revenue of local units Of gov
ernment, is refuted to some extent at
least by the fact that during the past
hree months fines for violations of the
prohibition laws have run to nigh fig
ure. In Wood County, the fines col
lected since January l, 1922 have to-
tailed over s2,50O.00. This is at the
rate Of about $1,000.00 per month.
Costs in addition to these fines have
been about $500. Judge B. B. Park
says that Portage county has collect
ed more than that amount, Waupaca
county about the same, and Waushara
county less than one-ffth of that. In
other judicial circuits the amounts in
those having large cities will run much
higher, while in a few counties, like
Waushara, where there are no large
towns, the fines collected will total
far less. the average for the II coun
ties of the state is probably more, ra-
ther than less, than $1,000 per month
in fines. This money goes into the
public treasury and helps to pay ex-
penses that would otherwise have to be
paid in taxes. 1t probably equals or
exceeds the amounts received for IL
quor licenses in the old days.

BORROW MONEY
TOPAY TAXES

The statement was made here today
by a reliable business man from
Marshfield that the banks of that city
have loaned to farmers this winter for
the purpose of paying taxes more than
S160,000. While there are often a few
instances where farmers have to bor-
row money to pay taxes, this is pro
badly the first time that so many farm
ers have had to borrow so heavily for
this purpose.
Marshfield hes in the most prosper
Gus farming district in the county, and
if there borrowing is necessary for
this purpose. how much worse must
the situation be in some of the poorer
sections? High taxes, the low price
of farm produce, and the failure of
many tax payers to provide in the time
of good prices for the slump that was
bound to come are given as reasons
for the condition which now exists.

that Adjourn did about two hundred
thousand dollars worth of business
through that bank in about three
months ending on October 80, 1921.
Business losses on carloads of stock
and poultry caught him without capi-
tai and he was sued by number of
farmers who received checks for their
stock which were later protested.
Frank Pavinski, who was arrested
the first of the week for selling illicit
liquor which he was keeping in his
room at the Central House on Grand
avenue, pleaded guilty Thursday
morning and was fined $500 and costs.
John Jocks of Nekoosa ltleaded
guilty to making and selling and hav-
ing in possession Intoxicating liquor
and was fined 500 and costs, amount
ing to about $113.00 in all.
Alfred Korth of Marshfield, who
was arrested for assault with intent
to do great bodily harm, pleaded gull
ty to the assault and battery, but not
guilty of intent to do great harm. He
was fined $25 and costs, the fine being
thus light upon Korth's promise to pay
damages to the girl as might be agreed
by himself and his attorney, the girl
who was assaulted and the District At
torney. The victim of the assault was
Sophie Jensen of Chill, Clark county,
Wisconsin. She is said to have suffer
ed a broken rib and other injuries, and
to have been unable to work for six
teen weeks. It is for doctor bills, hos
pital bills, and loss of time from work
that she is to be recompensed by
Korth.
The settlement of two other cases
which will be made Monday will COM
plete the criminal calendar for this
session. Judge Park excused the jury
men until Monday afternoon at two
o'clock and went Thursday to Milwau-
kee where he is to investigate a case
of alleged misconduct of members of
a mixed jury in case which was tried
in circuit court there lately.

Stock is selling steadily and the "a
mount of the monthly payments on
stock and loans increases with each
sale. Every citizen of the community.
who has business or civic interest in
the city's growth, says Mr.. Gibson,
secretary of the Association, is going

INFORMATION
(By the Postmaster)

Wednesday an innovation was made
at the Post Office that will aid much
in keeping the service Of that place
at it's best Arrangements have been
made SO that incoming and outgoing
mail can be handled through the back
door instead of at the front, as hereto
fore. This will do away with crowd
ing in the lobby due to trucks loaded
with mail pouches, and with the litter
due to handling over the lobby floor
of the large number of pouches that go
in and out every day.
Numerous other points of improve
ment in the handling of business there
may be noted from time to time. The
general principle back q it is eff
cheney and service to the public. The
lobby is to be redecorated, and re-
served for patrons of the office. Sys-
tematic methods of handling business
have been introduced or strengthened.
Ideas of the Postmaster and employees
that will add to the comfort or con-
venience of the clerks or patrons of
the office are being put into force a.
bout the building
improvements in the lighting of the
work room have been made and the
arrangements of some of the desks
have been changed to increase the con-
Vpnience and efficiency The desks in
the lobby are to be rearranged and
other conveniences and comforts in
stalled for the use of actual patrons
of the Office

HEALTH REPORT
FOR FEBRUARY

DR.. F. X. Pomainville, city health
commissioner, reports that there are
two cases of diphtheria under quar-
antine and one case of small pox in
the city at present.
He states that quarantine regula-
tions regarding small pox have been
changed. The members of the fam
lily who do not have small pox, if
they submit to vaccination and get a
permit from the health officer, can
leave their premises and go about
their work as usual. This means that
practically the only one that is quar-
antined is the one with the small pox
In his monthly health report, DR..
Pomainville reports nineteen births,
ten deaths and six marriages. They
are as follows:

Word is Said to have been received
here Wednesday evening that high wa
ter on the Wisconsin River had reach
ed Merrill at that time. Preparations
are being made to prevent losses from
it here. It is anticipated that it will
reach here about Friday night. The
colder weather and consequent firm
quality of the ice may hold it back
somewhat and help to keep the flood
rom being too sudden and severe.

TO BE new
SHOE STORE

The building on Second street form
erly occupied by Ed CARRIER as gro
cery store is being renovated and the
interior reinished, in readiness for
its use as shoe store. Frank Luzenski
who lately purchased the Gleue Bro
theirs shoe store at Clintonville, is
planning to sell the store and stock
there and to come to this city to es-
tablsh a new business in that line. He
will occupy the former CARRIER store.
1t is planned to open the new store
about May 1st, it is stated. Mr.. Lu-
zenski is experienced in the shoe busi-
ness and is well known in this city.
He has good location in the building
mentioned and will doubtless conduct
an up-to-date and successful mercan-
tile establishment.

Speaking of boys, there's one sign
of spring that is more sure than robins
or wild geese, or thunder showers. It
comes bit earlier sometimes, but it
is persistent and has failed for some
reason to receive the proper notice and
attention. When the boys start play
ing marbles, it's a sure sign of the
nearness of spring. The marble be-
comes a baseball when spring is full
upon US. But marbles is the beginning
of the seasonal change. No doubt the
instinct dates back to savage prehis-
toric times.

What we really feel is that the whole
proceeding of the boys is just as i'm

proceeding of the men is-to anybody.

Importance of whatever they are do
ing. That loss results in what the old
world people call "ennui'' and English
speaking folks call boredom" | Won

with a great many of us these days.
We need stronger sense of the i'm
portance of our own occupations in the
scheme of things. And somebody is
always trying to take it away from US.
Let's not give it UP.

The Washington times., 1922-11-26

to give hospitality and appreciation to
the first Platypus that ever left Aus
tralia and landed alive on a foreign
shore This consummation has been
wrought out by the zeal for the transpor-
tation of geological rarites, the intelli
gpnce and the marvellous energy of one
man, Mr. Ellis S. Joseph, of Sydney, Aus
trala.
"No matter what evil fate may here
after overtakc the Platypus species, moth
ing can rob us of the fact that New York
has looked upon living OrnithorhynchuS
Paradoxus, and found it mighty interest
ing. 1t cost US 81 400, but it was worth it.
"Whcn our first Platypus arrived at
the Geological Park on July Ia, 1922,
after a journey of 10000 miles that had
consumed the lives of four companions,
we felt reasonably certain tlat when
fairly out from under the excitement of
foreign travel the queer little beast would
die in a very few days. We hoped that
it might live for one week. but we re-
signed ourselves to the impending loss.
1t lived at the Park forty-nine days, and
was on exhibition daily for one hour.
"At the outset we observed that the
Platypus is an animal of nervous tempera-
ment, and easily excited by too many OBJ
serving eyes. 1t was evident that one
hour of daily exhibition was all that the
little animal could endure, and subsequent
observations proved the correctness or
this estimate. We are sure that a longer
exhibition period would speedily have
proven fatal to the distinguished stranger.
"The Plltypus arrived in the most
amazing cOntraptiOn that we ever have
seen in use in animal transportation.
Nothing short Of real genius ever could
have conducted it from Australia to New
York without a wreck in transit. 1t is
10 feet long over all, 3 feet wide, 2 feet
9 inches high, and it has more cOmpart-
mentS than a Pullman car It's mdship
section consists of a large tank of water
30x3GxIS inches, in which the water is
about Is inches deep. The main deck
forward contains an elevated pool Of
water which serves as the bathroom of the
Playtpus, and this is flanked on either
side by two small sandbanks.
"Thc "quart ter-dcck" is occupied by a
labyrinth of narrow. halls, each one con
nccted with it's side partners by two holes
of platypus size. All the holes are fit Il
with rubber gaskets, to scrape the water
off the animal as it wriggles through to
its burrow in the farthest corner, where
it goes to sleep in a nest of dry hay.
"This labyrinth is connected with the
large pool amidship by an up-slanting,
water-tight box of sheet metal.
"The little ami lal swan and ate its
food in the main tank, and it could retire
to its burrow without exposure to the
