-retting Steel Gaaa.
A short time ago the French g overn
mem caused to be instituted a series of
tests of gun steel at a loir tempera
ture, that is from 75 to 100 below zero
Fahr., part of the bars being hard
ened and part unhardened, fiSd the
breaking load Was increased by the
cooling ' psr cent in the instance of
the unhardened bars, and G per cent
in the hardened one. It seems that
in a shock such as a gun "would be
subjected to the unhardened bars
Cooled broke on an average with 5.9
blows against 14. G blows under ordi
nary conditions. With the hardened
bars the difference was less, 1L57
blows being required for the cold bars,
against 14.4 at the normal tempera1
ture. The various bars employed in
theso tests both hardened and unhard
ened, had their elastic limit raised 11
per cent by the cold, and their elonga
tion was diminished 12 to 14 tier cent.

4 GALLANT RESCUE.
For many years I resided la the
village of Chippewa, situated at tbe
mouth of Welland river (commonly
called Chippewa creek), which Qowa
into the Niagara, abctit one and a
half miles above the falU and per
haps throe-fourths of a mile above
the first rough water Of tho terriblo
rapids.
Notwithstanding the dangerous
proximity of tbe falls people aro con
tinually crossing and recrossing tho
river here, between tho American and
Canadian shores.
Great caution is generally exercised
by boatmen, and the loss'of life on
this stretch of water is less than on
any body of equal width constantly
traversed by small open boats that
I know of. Deplorable fatal it:es have
occurrol from time to time, but these
have always been the result of ig
norance or gross carelessness.
Three coses of this kind have corns
under my own observation and I was
unhappy enough to see the victims
drawn down to the first leap of the
rapids after which not a trace of any
one of them was ever seen. One of
these instances was that of a farmer.
who drove his horses and wagon into j
tbe edge of the river, a shoal place j
about a mile above Chippewa, to let
the animals drink that particular
spot being the only one for many
miles which was adapted to tho -purpose.
The man. though perfectly familiar
with the locality, carelessly drove in
too far, and. upon attempting to turn
about, one of the reins caught under
the neck-yoke, the horses floundered
into deep water, the heavy running
gear sank, dragged the poor brutes ;
down and drowned them, whilo the '
light pino wagon box floated off with ,
the man!
The unfortunate fellow was known ,
to be a good swimmer, and if be bad 1
instantly jumped out and made for the '
shore all would have been welL Hut j
he va" frightened out of his wits and j
did nothing but scream for help. Sow j
comes tho strangest part of the story.
The accident was witnossed by another i
farmer plowing in a field elosc at hand.
As he well knew, there was not a boat
of any kind nearer than Chippewa
and yet, instead of springing on one
of his hordes and riding for life, he
actually walked down along the bank,
keeping abreast of and talking to his
imperiled noighbor and cneering him
by the assurance that ho would got a
boat and take him o!T when he shou d
conto in front of tho illage!
Gradually for such is the trend of
the current there as the bov floated
dowu stream, it was borne further and
further from land and when it di.l
arrive oppos te tho mouth of Welland
river was fully 400 yards out
Only then did tho sympathising
friend rush into the village and give
the alarm.
From the edge of tho Niagara to
Chippewa bridge where tho nearest
boat lay. was at least three hundred
yards. This distance ho had to rim
and find some one to unlock equip
with oars and man tho boat Tho
consoquence inevitably was that the
doomed farmer was far beyond human
help even befpro it started started
only and then turned back from the
hopeless chase.
That awful cry: Amangoiug over
the falls!" resounded through the vil
lage streets and a crowd of people
quickly gathered.
The helpless castaway was now
shooting down that smooth, swift in
cline of water immediately abovo tho
rapids. He had evidently given up all
hope of rescue, and was kneeling on
the bottom of his frail raft with out
stretched, clasped hands, apparently
in prayer.
Ftister and faster he was Slurried
along, and in another moment we saw
the bo . lifted high on the crest of the
rapids' first tumultuous ridge, shaken
to pieces like a pack of cards and
floated in fragments away amidst the
seething hell of waters, while its late
occupant disappeared forever from
human view.
The second person whom I saw
thus doue to death was ono of a party
of duck hunters, who had been ahoot
ing in the weedy passage between
Grand and Buckhorn islands. In
spile of his companion's advice to the
contrary, this man
determined to re- '
main out all night in tho hope of
making a good bag in the early morn
ing. Tho last thing his comrades saw of
him so they told us he had drawn
the bow of his boat a little way up on
a sand bar at the lower end or Buck
horn island, and laid himself down to
sleep in her.
It is supposed that while ho slept
a change of wind caused the water to
rise sufficiently to set the boat free
a moderate down-stream breeze would
do it At all events, shortly after
day-break next morning, some of
Chippewa's early risers called out that
an empty boat was going over the
falls. A knot of interested spectators
soon flocked down to tho river s edge
to see tho exciting event opinions
beinsr about equally divided as to
whether tho light skiff would live to
reach the cataract itself, or would go
to pieces on touching the rapids.
As we thus speculated, our idle
talk was suddenly replaced by a gen
eral cry of horror, for. from tue bot
tom of what we had thought an emp
ty shell the head and shoulders of a
man all at once became visible, and
the next moment he rose to his feet
Beyond all doubt the luckless being
had only that instant awakened.
Can human imagination conceive
or mortal pen describo what that
awakening must have beenr1
A few short hours before he had
lain down to rest in fancied security
and with bright anticipations of com- '
ins- snort Now ha nnns his eves and '
looks around to find himself where? j
on the very brink of that wildly- i
tossing awful flood from which all
the weal Ml all the united rjotvers of I
the world cannot save him!
The boat was almost in the exact
center of the river. Those of us who
had field-glasses could see that a
group rauc.i larger than our own had
congregated on tho American shore
to witness the catastrophe.
It was not long delayed. Iu less
than a minute after the poor man had
become aware of his situation, be
took off his hat waved it frantically
toward either bank, and an instant
later was gonelNor did any part of
the boat appear again.
One more sad incident and we will
turn to something brighter.
Two half-intoxlcaTed young men!
residents of Chippewa, ope morning
tiiado sdme disturbance in one of the
hotels.
To get out of the way for tbe -present
they then crossed the river to
Port Day. There they drank, we
were told, more liquor and became
very quarrelsome. Toward evening
they set out to return, but instead of
making a start from away dp the
stream, they rashly pushed directly
Into the cdrront and attempted to
make the passage in a straight line.
It is barely possible they nlight
have succecidfcd in landing rjti the
Canadian side away down by the head
of Street's island bad hot a great
crowd of people, noticing their dan
gorous position, assembled ok the
bank to watch their progress. The
poor fellows, each pulling a pair of
6culls. had come more than halfsway
across, and were now. as nearly as
we could jjdgo. only a few hundred
yards aboro the edge of the rapids,
when, to our infinite- dismay, they
suddenly turned back toward the
American shore! Whj will never
bo known, but it was supposed that;
seeing the crowd on the bank, the
young men. in their mandlin condi
tion conceived the idea that it had
gathered for the purpose of arresting
them for the morning's fracas.
Whatever the reason for their mad
move, it proved a fatal one. They
had lost some distance in turning,
and had not got fifty yards on the re
turn course when wo could see that
they wero being carried rapidly down
stream. Now the appalled and ut
terly holpless spectators were com
pelled to witness a pitiabic sight in
deed. The imminence of their peril
seemed to havo sobered the men; and
so soon as they found themselves be
ing swept broadside down, they
turned the bow of their boat straight
up-stream, meantime plying their
oara with desperate energy, in tho
forlorn hope of gaining on the mighty
current!
Among the watching crowd on the
shoro wero several women, and theso
broke into anguished cries rs they
saw tho lost men heroically battling
for life up to the last hopeless mo
ment Passionately, for the time bereft of
reason, they appoalol to us to save
them, out we could only groan in our
' impotence and await tho end.
I The poor boys did not cease to row
1 until their little c -aft was on tho curl
! ing brink of tho dread plunge. Then
' both relinquished their oa-s. dropped
1 to their knees and covo ed their faces
j with their banda ll-icf space had
they in which to pray; for now the
boat was caught by the writhing wall
of water, tosied high in air, while
the men Oh tho horror of it! nil
were whirled over and over and
swallowed up in those cruel depths
from which no human creature has
over escaped alive. 4
Xow for a loss painful scene:
On a certain summer day a young
woman, half-crazed by terror, rushed
along the lower street of Chippewa
screaming: Ob. help! help! help!
My little Jimmy's away out oa the
big river, and he'll go ovor tho falls!"
Instead of jumping at onco for boats,
a number of men. as if doubting Mrs.
Armstrong's word, ran down to where
a view of the Niagara could be ob
tained, and the-"0. a'loat on its sur
face in an old boat, saw Jimmy ap-pa-entry
enjoying his ride, but boing
gradually carried outward atid dowu
stream.
It seems that the little, five-year-old
fellow had been playing in a
sma'l scow, tho bow of which rested
lightly on the beach, and had rocked
it free of its hold, to his great delight
floated serenely away.
On the west bank of "Welland river.
about 250 yards above its junction
with the . iagara, fetjod the house
and shop of Joel Lyons, a stout
uiu-cular shoemaker and a practical
oarsman. On hearing tho alarm
gi en. this man wasted no time in
idlo exclamations, but ran at onso
to where several boats were moored
further up the stream. Selecting one
already provi ed with sculls, he
sprang into it and was away at full
speed beroro most of the onlookers
had collected their senses.
Just ut this moment I arrived upon
the scene and witnessed all that
afterward occurred.
Xow there are two entrances and
exits to and from tho Welland; one.
known as the cut," being on tho up
per or west side of an isolated bluff,
called Hog island, and the other the
original channel on the low or or east
eide.
It wa9 from out this last named
passage that the child had floated,
and conso xuently he was much nearer
the falls than if he had emerged into
the Niagara from the cut
Lyons, of course, took the east
channel but ho had quite -100 yards
of slack water to row over boforo
striking the larger river and when he
reached it the little scow with its pre
cious freight was at least that distance
from Ehoro and much closer to the
raoids than even the boldest oarsman
would ordinarily dare to go.
So utterly desperate appeared the
chances of rescue, that as he sped
down Chippewa creek, the shuddering
spectators, among whom was Mrs.
Lyons, with one accord called out to
the gallant boatman not to throw
away his own life in so mad an at
tempt But the brave fell w paid no
heed to their cries. Out to the broad
bosom of the Niagara he pushed, and
was presently flying obliquely down
and across tho stream with the speed
of a racing sholL His wife screamed
aloud in her agony of apprehension,
and to even the coolost among us it
seemed all too horribly certain that
we should witness a double tragedy.
More and more earnestly, without
a break or a skip, and with never re
laxing strength, the experienced
sculler bent to his work, glancing
now and again over his Bhoulder at
the precious prize he had determined
to win or die in losing.
To us. who. hardly daring to speak
or breathe, watched the fearful Ven
tura its success appoared well nigh
impossible. The child could, perhaps,
ho snatched from the boat before
reaching tho rapid?. But what then?
Neither he nor hu rescuer, we felt
convinced, could ever regain the l
shore.
The tinv scow was now quite 600
i yards from shore, and with gradually
accelerated rootioa was drawing
frightfully near the rapids. But the
pursuing toat went four feet to its one
and was swiftly closing the gap be-
tween them. Tho innocent babe had !
at last become alarmed, and as Lyons j
drew near, he stretched his little arms ,
imploringly toward him. a sight
which drove the women nearlv fran-
' tic ana caused tears to roll down
j more than one manly cheek.
Oh. hush! hush! not a word nor

lifted him into his own boat "Too

did not vainly attempt to stem the
current by rowing up-stream, nor
even directly toward the shore, but
turned his bow quartering down, and,
pulling with nerves of steel and giant

ALL IN A WATCH.
Some of the Marvel if a Tiiile-Plcce"s
Mechanism.
Open your watch and look at tbe
little wheels, springs and screws,
each an indispensable part of tho
whole wonderful machine. Notico
the busy little balanco wheel as it
flies to and fro unceasingly, day and
nicht year in and year out
This wonderful little machine is the
result of hundreds of years of study
and experiment The watch carried
by the average man is composed of
ninety-eight pioces and its manufac
ture embraces more than 2. 000 dis
tinct and separate operations.
Some of tho smallest screws are so
minute that tho unaided eyes cannot
distinguish them from steel filings or
specks of dirt Under a powerful
magnifying glass a perfect screw is
revealed. The "slit in the head is two
one thousandths of an indi wide. It
takes 3081000 of theso screws to
weigh a pound, and a pound is worth
$1. 505.
The hair spring is a strip of the
finest steel about nir.o and one half
inches long, ono hundredth of an inch
wide and twenty-seven ten thou
sandths of an inch thick. It is colled
up in spiral form and finely tempered.
The process of tempering theso springs
was long held as a secret by tho fow
j fortunate ones possessing it and eve n
now is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires great
skill. The finished spring will be a
-0-100Dth of an inch, but no measur
ing instrument has & yet been de
vised capable of fine enough gauging
to determine be'orehand by tho size
of the strip what the strength of tho
finished spring wltl he.
A -0-1000th part of an inch differ
ence in the thickness of the strip
makes a difference in the running of a
watch of about six minutes per hour,
says the Jewelers' Review.
The value of these springs when
finished and placed in watches is
enormous in proportion to the ma
ter.l from which they are made. A
co-0arison will give a good idea,
says the New York Journal.
A ton of steel made up into hair
springs when in watches is worth more
than twelve and a half timos tho
value of tho same weight in puro
cold. Hair-spring wire weighs one
twentieth of a grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than
half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second, o00 every minute. Id 000
hour. 4oJ, 000 every day and 157,080. -000
year. At each vibration it rotates
about one and a quarter timea which
makes 107,100.000 revolutions every
year. jv?t
4f In order that we may better under
stand tho stupendous amount of labor
performed b" these tiny works let us
mako a few comparisons. Take, for
instance, a locomotive with six-foot
driving wheels.
Let its wheels run until they havo
given tho same number of revolutions
that a watch docs in ono year, and
they will have covered a distance
equal to twenty-eight complcto cir
cuits of the earth.
And this a watch does without
other attention than winding once
every twenty-four hours.
JAPANESE DISCIPLINE.
Utiles Drawn Up ly u Husband lor the
Guidance of Ills Wife.
A government official in Kumamo
to. Kodama Koichira. was married in
July of last year to tho charming
daughter of a wealthy resident of Yat
sushira. Kumamotoken. Tho bride
was VJ years of age and the bride
groom 5.
The man is described as pecu
liar." a term which will suggest itself
after a perusal of the .ollowing extra
ordinary regulations which he drew
up for tho guidance of his young wifo
after marriage.
They may possibly recommend
themselves to a few of the younger
married couples in Yokohama, tho
number of which, by the way, is rap
idly on tho increase:

ablutions.
5:50 House cleaning.
6 Worship God and Buddha: o
kiss; conversation and tea.
7:30 Breakfast 'Z.ZZ3
7-8 Lessons to wifo (!)
8-8:45 Private study and kiss after
ward. 1' Leave for office with tiflin.
Afternoon 3:30: Return home
and at once a kiss.
3:30-4 Ablutions and another
kiss.
1-5 Lessons to wifo and a kis?
afterward.
f,.g Bath and a kiss afterward.
6 Supper.
C-7 Private study.
7-8 A walk in towu and a kis9

The regulation concludes: '-During
my (the husband's) absence at
the office attention should be paid to
cleaning the house, insido and out
directing O-Koku (name of maid)
and loarning tailoring, penmanship

Royal Baking Powder,
THE GOVERNMENT TESTS
ESTABLISH ITS ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY-
Data from the latest Official U. S. Government Report on Baking
Pozvdcrs Department of Agriculture, Bulletin ij, page jtpg.)
Royal is placed first of the cream of tartar
powders, actual strength, 160.6 cubic inches of
leavening gas per ounce of powder.
Every other powder tested exhibited -2 much
lower strength than the Royal, the average
being 33 per cent. less.
Every other powder likewise showed the
presence of alum or sulphuric acid.
The claim that this report shows any other powder of su
perior strength or purity has been denounced as a falsehood
bv the Government officers wher made the tests.
Avoid all "baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Koyal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
